Asus accidentally pushed new phone listings live on its French website this week, thereby leaking its own products. That's a bummer for the company, but good news for those of us who hate surprises. The leaks include the ZenFone 4, the ZenFone 4 Selfie, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro, and the ZenFone 4 Max. I'll break down the specs for each below, along with their listing. (Thanks to Android Police for gathering these screenshots.)

ZenFone 4

WinFuture
  • 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display
  • Snapdragon 630 processor 
  • 4GB of RAM with 64GB of expandable storage
  • 3,300mAh battery 
  • Dual rear-facing camera system comprised of one 12-megapixel sensor and one 8-megapixel sensor; 8-megapixel front-facing camera
  • Available in white and black
  • €499 in France

ZenFone 4 Selfie

Asus
  • Snapdragon 430 processor
  • 5.5-inch IPS 1280 x 720 display
  • 4GB of RAM with 64GB of expandable storage 
  • 3,000mAh battery
  • Two front-facing cameras, one 20-megapixel sensor and one 8-megapixel sensor with a flash; 16-megapixel rear-facing camera
  • €299.99 in France

ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro

Asus
  • Snapdragon 625 processor
  • 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display
  • 4GB RAM with 64GB of expandable storage
  • Dual front-facing cameras with 24-megapixel sensor and 5-megapixel sensor; 16-megapixel rear-facing camera
  • €399.99 in France

ZenFone 4 Max

Asus
  • 5.2-inch IPS 1280 x 720 display
  • 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage
  • 4,100mAh battery
  • Dual rear-facing cameras with 13-megapixel sensor and 5-megapixel sensor; 8-megapixel front-facing camera
  • €229.99 in France

As a note: Asus already unveiled the ZenFone 4 Max in Russia earlier this year, but this French leak suggests a model with the same name will be released globally. The new version features a smaller battery and screen. This could get confusing.

Overall, Asus appears to be giving customers lots of choice with its 2017 releases. The selfie phones are differentiated by their display and processor. The same goes for the ZenFone 4 and the ZenFone 4 Max. Users will have to decide which they value more — a front-facing or rear-facing camera system — and then from there, determine how much they want to spend. Seems simple enough, although this is certainly a lot of devices to show off at once.
