ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro
ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro — the flagship model of the ZenFone 4 Selfie Series — has the world’s most advanced 24MP DuoPixel selfie camera with a ƒ/1.8 aperture Sony IMX362 dual-pixel image sensor with 1.4µm pixel size (the largest pixel size yet), and ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine that enables users to capture 2X-brighter low-light selfies and astonishingly detailed 4K UHD selfie videos. ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro also comes with a 120° super-wide-angle wefie camera that makes it easy to fit multiple people or the surrounding environment into the shot, perfect for social occasions and travel. The front Softlight LED flash ensures the user captures true skin tones. The 16MP camera with Sony IMX351 sensor at the rear supports EIS and 4K Videos along with RAW file support.

High-resolution 24MP selfies
ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro has the world’s most advanced front camera system featuring the Sony® IMX362 dual-pixel image sensor, which has twice as many light-capturing photodiodes as conventional sensors of the same resolution. 24MP[2] DuoPixel™ camera technology uses the information captured by the sensor to intelligently create one 24MP photo, resulting in beautiful, high-resolution selfies.
2X greater light sensitivity
ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro features a main selfie camera with a ƒ/1.8 aperture lens and a Sony® IMX362 image sensor with large, 1.4µm pixels for 2X-greater light sensitivity than typical smartphone cameras[3]. Larger pixels increase the camera’s sensitivity to light, and decrease the graininess of resulting photos — especially those shot in low-light environments. Combined with the ASUS SuperPixel Engine that intelligently controls sensor light-sensitivity and reduces image noise, ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro produces excellent quality photos in HDR, especially in low light. ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro takes beautifully clear and vivid selfies, day or night, indoors or out.
When a flash is needed, the Softlight LED flash delivers the perfect amount of fill light — just like in a studio — to soften skin texture and bring out true skin tones to make selfies look their best.

World’s leading 4K UHD selfie video
With its flagship Sony IMX362 image sensor and the exclusive ASUS SuperPixel Engine, the main selfie camera on ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro lets users shoot astonishingly detailed 4K UHD selfie videos.
