The Asus ZenFone Selfie spots one of the sleekest designs I have set my eyes on for a while now. It combines a flawless shell-like design with lightweight beauty. The user interface is relatable and easy to use for the non-tech heads. And it's camera is jaw dropping, I am still exploring it's full functionalities, keep fingers crossed for the review in a few days, I cannot wait myself.
