LED Lights giving photos

ZenFone Live’s front-facing camera is made for snapping sharper, clearer selfies, with a sensor that has extra-large, 1.4-micron (μm) pixels to capture more light.
We’ve even equipped ZenFone Live with a wide-angle lens sees an 82° field of view, so your selfies are broader than ever before.
ZenFone Live has a dedicated LED flash just for selfies, delivering the perfect amount of fill light to allow real skin tones to shine through and which illuminates your subject’s true skin tones.

The ZenFone Live two sim card slot lets you connect to two mobile networks at the same time. But if you plan to add a sd card you have to sacrifice one sim card slot for it. ZenFone Live supports nano sim card.

Our feedback

We used the ZenFone Live more than a month because we want to make sure this phone can live to the expectation of buyers. We got to use the beautylive app using the Facebook and Instagram but we were not able to use it using YouTube. It so small you can even put in your shirt pocket always at your reach. Just a reminder when you go live the video clarity depends with your data provider. Some part of your video will be pixelated and blurred and sometime you’ll be disconnected with your data connection. Currently you won’t find available tempered glass because of its curved screen and casing.
