ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie hands-on and camera review
ASUS has just released the latest in their ZenFone line, and they went all out releasing not just one, but a number of phones, for different types of users. One of the models that I’m particularly interested in would be the ZenFone 4 Selfie.
Marketed as an entry-level phone, at least compared to the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro which was also released, this bad boy boasts the ability to capture all your possible selfies — and capture them well.
I got my hands on this lean, mean selfie machine and here are my initial thoughts.
Look and feel
The ZenFone 4 Selfie is a decent-looking phone equipped with the new ZenUI which means a cleaner interface.
Flip it around and you get a special surprise: A glittery back! For those who aren’t as amused by glittery objects, no need to worry, as this detail isn’t so noticeable under normal lighting conditions. 
The ZenFone 4 Selfie has a unibody build that’s surprisingly light — almost too light. And yet, for a phone with a 5.5-inch screen, it feels bigger and wider in my dainty hands. I could tell immediately that I’d have trouble holding it for those one-handed selfies.
A noticeable detail on this device is its unique camera placement. Instead of having both shooters on one side as most selfie phones are prone to doing, the ZenFone 4 Selfie has its cameras positioned on different sides of the phone’s front.
The bottom of the phone has a capacitive home button with a built-in fingerprint scanner, plus the back and multitasking buttons beside it.
The audio jack is found on the top of the phone; the volume rocker and the power button are on the right side; the triple-slot tray which can house two SIM cards and a microSD card is on the left; and a micro-USB port and speaker grilles are at the bottom.
Camera test run
It’s not called a selfie phone for no reason. The ZenFone 4 Selfie is equipped with dual cameras up front featuring 20- and 8-megapixel cameras, the latter one with a 120-degree view. This means selfies both in wide-angle and bokeh mode — something most selfie phones don’t offer together.
Another winner is the phone’s beauty features found in the built-in camera app. A slew of beauty mode options are available — from skin softening, to eye enhancement, and even cheek thinning — for all your selfie needs. An additional ASUS app, the SelfieMaster, also enables users to shoot video and livestream in beauty mode.
The rear camera is a 16-megapixel shooter. Here are more sample shots with the camera:
Other specs
An efficient Snapdragon 430 chipset powers this selfie phone which runs on Android 7.1 Nougat. It has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, expandable to 2TB via microSD and a battery capacity of 3000mAh.
Selfie verdict and first impressions
When companies attempt to produce an entry-level handset, the cameras are usually the first get downgraded. The ZenFone 4 Selfie changes that. On the lower-end spectrum, this particular phone gives you a lot and more when it comes to photography.
Undeniably, this smartphone packs pretty powerful shooters and very detailed beauty options for your pictures. I am very pleasantly surprised and I look forward to more selfies taken with ASUS’ ZenFone 4 Selfie series.

Moving into a new space comes with a long list of things to figure out, and lately, I’ve been paying more attention to something that’s easy to overlook: air quality.
After using the LG AeroMini for about a month, it has become a subtle but welcome addition to my space. It helps make the room feel fresher, while its compact and stylish design fits naturally into my setup. Here are the things that stood out to me most after living with it for a month.
360° purification for a fresher space
One of the things I appreciate about the AeroMini is its 360° air purification, designed to bring purified air in every direction.
For me, this is particularly useful in a new space where I’m spending a lot of time working, relaxing, and just settling in.
Combined with its True HEPA filter, which is designed to remove 99.999% of 0.01μm fine dust and allergens, it gives me added peace of mind about the air I’m breathing every day.
After a month, I can genuinely say that the space feels fresher with it running.
Surprisingly quiet
This is probably my favorite feature.
The LG AeroMini operates at just 26dB, and after using it for a month, what stands out is how easy it is to forget that it’s even running.
I can have it running while I’m working or sleeping without the noise becoming a distraction. For an appliance that’s designed to continuously improve the air around you, I think that’s a big deal.
Sometimes, the best feature is the one you barely notice.
Design that fits my space
Since I recently moved, I’ve been pretty conscious about what I bring into the space. I want things to be functional, but I also don’t want appliances that feel like they’re taking over the room.
The AeroMini’s slim and compact design makes it easy to incorporate into my setup. It doesn’t feel bulky or industrial, and I like that I can leave it out without feeling like I need to hide it away.
For me, that balance between functionality and aesthetics makes it feel more like part of the space rather than just another appliance.
Air quality at a glance
Another feature I’ve found convenient is its Smart Control. Through the app, I can monitor and control the AeroMini while getting real-time updates on the indoor air quality.
It’s a small convenience, but being able to check the air quality without having to interact with the purifier directly makes it easier to keep track of what’s happening in the room.
Easy to maintain
I also appreciate that the AeroMini is designed with an all-in-one dust and deodorization filter that makes replacement and maintenance easier.
That matters to me because the best home gadgets are the ones that don’t create another complicated chore. I want something I can set up, use regularly, and maintain without too much fuss.
After a month, would I keep it?
Yes, and mainly because it quietly fits into my everyday routine.
The LG AeroMini has helped make my new space feel fresher and more comfortable, while its compact design means it doesn’t compromise the look of the room. But if I had to pick just one thing I appreciate most, it’s still how incredibly quiet it is.
It’s one of those upgrades that doesn’t demand your attention. It simply works in the background.
