Most cameraphones offer users a number of features that aren't available to standard smartphones that have cameras. This includes fast focus, better quality lenses and better resulting images or videos. Quite often, you won't find such features in an entry-level smartphone much less one going for below RM300, which is why we were quite impressed with the performance shown by the ASUS ZenFone 4, the company's entry-level offering for their new range of ZenFone smartphones. How exactly does the ASUS ZenFone 4 impress and does it offer more than just cameraphone capabilities? Check out our full review of the ASUS ZenFone 4 below to find out.

After some delay we can finally confirm that yes, the ASUS ZenFone 4 is now available in Malaysia for RM299. Featuring an 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2520 processor, 1GB RAM, 4-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 5MP PixelMaster rear camera and dual-SIM support this is clearly aimed at the entry-level market. Some of these tech specs and features cannot be found on other smartphones of the same class or price range, which should make things very interesting for Malaysian smartphone buyers. True to their word, ASUS Malaysia have brought in the ZenFone 4 at least a week earlier than the end of May 2014 as was earlier reported. We'll be covering more about the ZenFone 4 as soon as we get the review unit so stay tuned for more details.

While many users are impatiently waiting for the delayed ASUS ZenFone smartphones, ASUS Malaysia has spoken up. According to their Facebook page, they said that stock for the ASUS ZenFone 4 would be coming in before the end of May 2014. According to them it could be even earlier, however, there still is no word yet on the ASUS ZenFone 5 or ZenFone 6 smartphones just yet. The Intel powered smartphones offer a number of interesting tech specs and features which many users would like to try out, but the recent delay has caused many to look elsewhere. Pricing for the ZenFone 4 looks to remain at RM299 for now. Hopefully, this latest announcement will be true so do stay tuned for more developments.
