After reviewing the Zenfone 5 Selfie,
TudoCelular takes the more powerful version to see if it's worth.
With much more storage space and a more powerful chipset,
this model is about R$200 more expensive, but delivers much more.
Let's see the similarities and differences of the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro when compared to the basic model
and show why one is worth and the other is not.
Come with us to the review of another Asus smartphone!
The Pro model design is the same as the basic.
The body is metallic with a glass finish on both the front and back,
where the cameras are positioned vertically, with very reasonable bump, and with the fingerprint reader underneath.
The device is very slippery and the use of a protective case is highly recommended.
In addition, the footprint is uncomfortable because of the format despite the compact body.
The dimensions are the same as the basic model, which compares to other six-inch mid-rangers,
like the Moto G6 Plus and Galaxy A6 Plus, for example.
On the sides we have a SIM tray on the right, with space for two SIM cards
and a micro SD to expand the already rather generous internal space.
On the left are the power and volume buttons. At the bottom, we have an audio output, mono,
and the micro USB connector, while at the top we have the headphone jack,
a feature that has been increasingly rare but still quite present in mid-range models.
The front part has little more than 1/4 occupied by the screen,
but the upper and lower bezels are still quite large.
The bottom is a totally unoccupied area, and could be a bit smaller.
On the top, we have all sensors, including two cameras for selfies.
The box is only different from the basic version because of a sticker in the lower left corner, telling you that it is the Pro model.
Inside, the charger is more powerful.
Otherwise, they bring the same accessories, including data cable, SIM ejector tool and a stereo headset.
The colors available in Brazil are the same three for both models of the Zenfone 5 Selfie:
white, red and black - and the latter, in fact, is a dark blue.
The Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro screen has nothing different than the basic model.
It's six inches, with Full HD + resolution and 18: 9 aspect ratio.
The display quality is also good, with good brightness for both bright and dark environments
using respectively the maximum brightness and the minimum brightness.
You can select which applications will be displayed in full screen, increasing the area reserved for content.
And you can also activate a blue light filter.
As for audio, there is little improvement here compared to the basic model.
The sound is a little less muffled. Overall, it is still a very satisfactory quality for an mid-range,
but it is not even a highlight.

Unlike the basic model, the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro has hardware that is justified for the price range.
The chipset here is the same as the Moto G6 Plus with more RAM and storage,
in fact, it's incredible 128 GB for you to install apps, games and save your photos and WhatsApp GIFs.
And this, of course, positively influences the performance and fluidity of the device.
The Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro does not even "fly" like some mid-ranges we've tested in 2018,
but it's not due with app opening times on our average speed test.
And holding every app opened in the background on the second lap.
Regarding games, you can play a little heavier titles without lagging
and with very acceptable graphics.
Unless you're very picky, but then your focus is already going to the high-ends.
Overall, in performance, the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro delivers a good experience.
With the same basic model battery capacity - 3,300 milliamper / hour
the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro has better autonomy thanks to the more energy-efficient chipset.
We did the actual use simulation of both on the same day,
and the most powerful model lasted three more hours.
That is, the test exceeded 15h and 30 min, which is enough for a full day of moderate to heavy use
with plenty of juice to surf the internet until bedtime.
As for recharging, by having a more powerful charger,
the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro can fill the battery from 0% to 100% in much less time,
staying just under two hours.
The sensors used in the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro are the same ones found in the basic model
But that does not mean that the quality of the cameras is the same.
In this case, the advantage lies with this model seen in the analysis.
The more powerful chipset makes a good difference when photographing and also in the time to prepare the clicks.
The focus and final image processing are faster, and the result is usually better,
with a slightly superior offset between light and dark areas.
But this model also exaggerates in cold tones, a problem that persists throughout the Zenfone line.
Selfies have the same difference between traditional and wide-angle sensors:
the first makes a warmer reading of the colors, while the second goes for the colder tones,
following the calibration of the rear sensors.
In video, the advantage is to record in 4K in the Pro. But the result is not so different.
You can see that the focus is a little faster, but stabilization is basically the same thing.
The audio captured is also very low, disguising the noises of the environment,
but leaving your voice barely audible.

ASUS already offers Android Oreo on its Zenfone 5 and 5Z, but the Selfie series is still behind.
Here, we still have Android 7.1.1 Nougat, with ZenUI 4.0.
Despite the old version of Android, the system has some extra features that may interest the user,
such as ZenMotion, which allows you to set up shortcut gestures on the screen when it's turned off,
the TwinApps, which duplicate messengers and social networks to add extra accounts,
and OptiFlex, which speeds up the opening of selected applications.
In security, the user can use both fingerprint and facial recognition to unlock the screen.
The second option is more practical, but less secure.
The Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro is a considerable improvement compared to the more basic model.
And the price does not go up so much - this model, today, costs R$2000 via instalments at the ASUS Store,
about R$ 250 more than the basic model.
It is already possible to find it at just under R$ 1800 in the national retail.
Still a high value. But considering that in 2018 the smartphone prices in Brazil got much more expensive,
is a more interesting price than other competing mid-rangers.
As a plus, we highlight the premium finish, battery life and storage capacity,
expandable even if you choose to use two SIM cards.
On the negatives, we got the camera which, although good,
could deliver more to a brand whose marketing is precisely the quality of the photos.
Audio also leaves much to be desired, affecting the multimedia experience.
Anyway, unlike the basic model, the Zenfone 5 Selfie Pro is worth it, even if it does not have an ideal price yet.
If the values of smartphones in Brazil had not grown so much, this model could cost up to less than R$1500.
