Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie ZD553KL - User Reviews

  • Are you using China set or Global set? Usually China set is problematic on all phone brands as it's supposed intended for China market. I faced lots of issues when using China set phones as China set contains full of bloatwares. It is recommended to purchase Global set as Global set has no or less bloatwares and less buggy compare to China set.

  • This problem related to LCD screen problem. It is recommended to ask for warranty claim to replace that LCD screen.

  • hold the power butan for 5 second than it's go to power off

  • My phone's screen moves automatic as if someone is touching it. Tried restarting at least 10x but still the same.

  • just press the power button until your phone restart by itself. i usualy use this method. sorry that my english is so bad because it isn't my native language

  • Hi! I'm using Zenfone 4 Selfie and I'm having trouble with my screen. There are times that the touch doesn't work and because the battery is non-removable, I have to empty its battery first so I can reboot my phone. Is someone here having the same issue? How can I fix it? Thank you.

  • In other words, turn your smartphone into a flip phone with a big dim screen..... Good news your battery will last Bad news you cannot do much with it at all

  • Yes you can. Just keep updating until you have zenui 5, then update again. ThisA HUGE 1,3 gb download. Make sure you have AT LEAST 3gb free or it WILL DOWNLOAD AND FAIL meaning you will have to download the WHOLE 1,3 gb again. Oreo makes this phone go from freezing every so often to"only" sluggish. It also will make your battery feel like a1500 mAh battery instead of 3000. Be warned. But at least it will become barely useable... For the little time it stays alive, that is

  • It is so slow I almost don't believe or have 4 core 2gb ram. Closing Facebook lite to return to main screen it gives me the rotating icon with only wallpaper for THREE SECONDS before showing apps icons Battery looks like 1500 mah, not 3000. It does within for hours of heavy use Charger does not support turbo or even 2amp. Only 1 amp, meaning it discharges even plugged in with MODERATE use. It should be renamed from Zenfone 4 to jokephone 1 the first bad taste Asus played on costumers. I have had znf 2 go live it was good. Znf 3 Max it was good and znf4max, it was very good. I got tricked into thinking the znf4selfie would be at least CLOSE to Max. Like, a little less battery for a better camera, but keeping other stats the same. Fooll of me. It have worse charger worse battery worse casing quality worse performance. Why name it znf 4? Really, this is borderline unethical, so misleading it is. The overall performance and feel is closer to the znf2 family on this glorified paperweight

  • Yes mine also ...

  • Worst phone ever. Worst brand ever. Stop buying Asus anymore

  • My battery drain so fast after update

  • I want oreo update on this phone

  • How do i fix my Asus Zenfone 4 selfie pro? it just suddenly went on white screen and when i try rebooting it, still has the same white screen :(. it's also heating on the upper part of the phone when it's turned on. can someone help me on this :(

  • Hello , do you know if tou can upgrade to oreo ? Please answer. Thank you.

  • why my zenfone 4 selfie pro always encounter white screen? it has 2x white screen problem and for replacement.. it is possible for factory defect?

  • 2x white screen issues....

  • Hi Saleem, Try using another headset with this device and check.

  • Hi Javeian, 1. Lower screen brightness An overly bright screen consumes more power and can be harmful to the eye. To adjust brightness, swipe down from the notification bar twice and use the slider. Extend your battery life, and protect your eyes while doing so! 2. Shorten screen timeout time. To squeeze more juice out of your battery, you can shorten the screen timeout time so that your phone goes into sleep mode faster. Try changing the time from the default 1 minute to 15 seconds. To change this setting, tap Settings > Display > Sleep. To change Cover View screen timeout time, go to Settings > ASUS Cover > Automatic sleep. 3. Trim unnecessary background apps. Prevent unnecessary apps you don't need from running in the background and consuming your battery by using Auto-start Manager. Tap Auto-start Manager to select apps you want to discontinue from running. 4. Use Smart-saving Mode . ZenFone 2 has many extremely useful battery modes, one of which is Smart-saving mode. It provides extra toggles for brightness, a feature that turns off internet, and an Extend Standby feature that lowers battery consumption by efficiently managing your push notifications when your phone is in sleep mode. Tap Settings > Power management > Power Saver > Battery Modes > Smart-saving mode. 5. Tap Boost from Quick Settings. Have you ever wished for a single button that solves all your problems? When you tap Boost, not only does it make your phone faster, but it also lowers battery consumption. Swipe down from the notification bar twice to find the Boost button. 6. Choose Wi-Fi over 3G/4G Data. Using Wi-Fi instead of a data connection will use less battery because your phone doesn't need to constantly search for the network. To turn on Wi-Fi, swipe down from the notification bar twice and tap the Wi-Fi icon. 7. Turn off Location Services, Bluetooth, and NFC. Don't be lazy! Turning off these services when you're not using them can extend your battery life. To turn these services off, swipe down from the notification bar twice and tap the Location, Bluetooth, or NFC icon. 8. Set up an Auto-switch mode schedule. You can't be using your phone all the time! Set up a time interval in Auto-switch mode to automatically switch to a lower battery consumption power mode when you're not using it. To do this, tap Settings > Power management > Power Saver > Auto-switch mode. After enabling this feature and choosing your starting and ending times, we recommend setting it to change to Ultra-saving mode (the default).

  • Hi Sach, Please follow steps below for troubleshooting: 1. Perform Boost: Slide down the screen from upper area to access Quick settings and then tap Boost. 2. Uninstall apps that are not often used: Settings > Apps > (select an app) Uninstall. 3. Clear cache of apps: Settings > Apps > select apps that may cause malfunction > Clear cache. 4. Launch Play Store and update all apps. 5. Reboot your phone. 6. Update firmware to latest version: Settings > About > System update > Check Update. 7. Access Safe Mode by long pressing power key > tapping and holding Power Off > tapping OK. If your phone works well in Safe Mode, there may be some 3rd apps that cause malfunction. Please reboot your phone and check again if it works well. 8. Backup your data and perform factory data reset.

  • Yes it supports dual nano sim and dedicated slot for SDcard

  • can i dual sim and with memory suported

  • I have this model but its front cameras are showing me a 13MP+8MP cameras and the model is same, anyone facing same thing? or any answer related to this? Thanks

  • Hi Sanju, Yes this model supports jo sim.

  • Hi Akshay, Yes you can make the calls without using the app as this phone supports VoLTE.

  • Hi Akhil, You can try the below steps. 1. Lower screen brightness An overly bright screen consumes more power and can be harmful to the eye. To adjust brightness, swipe down from the notification bar twice and use the slider. Extend your battery life, and protect your eyes while doing so! 2. Shorten screen timeout time.

  • Hi Javeian, If the downloading was going on for 3hrs, the battery would obviously drain.

  • Hi Farisskywalker99, Asus says there is no official confirmation.

  • I dont knowcwhat I did wrong but my phone starts to hang. When I touch then screen. it doesn't move or anything. The only thing working was the middle where the censor is. It happened 3 times. So sad about it. I just tap and tap then pray that it will work now 😢 I spend all my money for this phone. please help me...

  • When asus zenfone 4 selfie will get oreo update

  • OMG ! Same here ! The front and back Camera si loading ! grr! Dis appointing !

  • Very disappointing! I bought mine 3days ago. I went back to the store the day after, because the front cam didn't work well. Some photos were so blurry as if it was corrupted. They replaced it. But again, the same thing happened to my new unit. Also the battery gets drained very very fast, but charges very very slow!!! Another thing, the signal is very low! It's always H+! I still have to restart it to be back to 4G again. But when I do, the battery decreases from 6% to 3% real quick!! It's really stressing me out! VERY DISAPPOINTING! But I purchased it through Home Credit, can I just terminate it or have a refund or something? Thanks. :)

  • Quite dissapointed with my purchase of this phone. It's slow, the camera sucks(the irony is, it's suppose to be a selfie phone but the camera quality sucks BOTH the front and back camera sucks) It HEATS UP EASILY! The price is not worth it. I should've bought a Samsung J5 or J7 pro. My last phone was an asus phone, half the price of this phone but it's performace was better than this! Dissappointed.

  • I already bought this and lesson learned. The battery drained so fast. I was just downloading for 3 hours and the battery was 50% drained. Is this necessary?

  • Yes, unfortunately i can't recommend this thing for you, the battery drains so fast, heating problems (same as all other phones in the same series), and the camera is not that impressive considering this is titled as 'selfie' which they should be focusing more. The back panel is 95% plastic. For the conclusion, id rather increase your budget to afford the original zenfone 4 or if you're budget is just really cheap i can still recommend zenfone 4 max. I both have max and selfie and i'd say max is way better but heavier and i've seen zenfone 4 and it looks aesthetically good and the performance is way better than the cheaper versions.

  • Are the specs is also the same in the Philippines?

  • Hi I'm use in Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Mobil heatset is not working

  • i have this phone, and i really find this one great, knowing that its not that expensive plus it has incredible specs, what else you could asked for. Mine perfectly works fine, it doesn't log when i play mobile legends, the touch sensor also are awesome. i really love asus when it comes to smartphones. this is such a cool phone with a reasonable price. :)

  • No. :< my phone already have it :< quite disappointed

  • Generally, ASUS Selfie series phones are all quite lousy in gaming performance. Used the ASUS Selfie in 2015 and was a great disappointment. Not to mention this phone is running SD430.

  • Same here,something wrong with d multitouch sensor when playing mobile legends

  • It has been like this since I bought the fone, but it's getting worst af! I hate it!

  • Im very disappointed! Yes! Disappointing. 4gb ram and 64gb space seems to be very good. Yes it is! Design is beautiful. But there is one thing! Whenever I play moba games, multi touch suddenly stops working causing my character not to move or not being able to touch other buttons on the game at the same time. I have to completely stop touching it before it would work again. My connection is great. At first, I thought it was just the game it itself, but hell no! I tried to play different moba games and it does the same thing. I can almost throw my fone and break it to my disappointment. I also thought it could be the glass protector so I removed it. But it is still the same. I also experience some touch delays on other apps. My phone is only 3mos old and O hate it! I dont recommend this phone to moba gamers!

  • Is this a sratch proof phone? Please anyone answer:(

  • Dear Respected and wise reviewers, Please clear my only confushion over the display protection (glass) of this model. The specs dont tell about the gorilla glass protection. Is the glass vulnerable as compared to other phones come with gorilla glass??? Or asus put other technology inspite of gorilla glass on this phone?? Thanks..

  • been playing 2k18 since the day i bought this phone and it works fine

  • I am considering this phone, just need to know if nba2k18 will be good at this phone? Also is this phone protected by Gorilla glass? Thanks!

  • Do factory reset

  • Overall is a good cellphone. But I didn't like the fact that the screen is too large. It doesn't fit well in on hand and it is hard to touch some places on the screen using one hand. Also The resolution is low for the screen size, therefore you can see the screen lines.

  • Great performance and lasting battery for more than 20 hours under heavy usage...i luv it

  • This smart phone is the bomb in the mid range smart phone. didn't regret I bought one.

  • But the battery drains fast even if I don't use it

  • Preety good quality phone....no heating issue for games like gangster vegas, Asphalt extreme,Asphalt 8 airbourne etc.. Battery seems to last about 22 hours with average use...maximum screen time was about 10 hours

  • does it support gujarati language???

  • Hi guys,i have the older zen selfie with 13mp camera which is tremendously really good for me,the only downside about it the battery backup with could only last 4 hours screen on time,its normal in the beginning the phone heated quite a lot because software unstability,luckily the the older one battery can be swap out,,and i just want to know what the average best the new zenfone 4 selfie could last,please do share guys,my friend intend to buy one over oppo phone that likely being a bit too much fake in selfie pic..

  • can we make a call by using jio sim without jio 4g voice app

  • all features are good but pls don't update your phone because after update its battery drains very very fast. so pls don't update. and anybody pls tell me how to downgrade it.

  • before update mera phone awesome work kar raha tha but after update its battery drains very fast what should i do how can i downgrade it??

  • is that auto call Recording option in Zenfone 4 Selfie

  • Asus should have gone for a better processor...This one doesn´t cut mostard..... and for the given price you have lot´s of better options out there.......

  • Hi BuboyAgnes, I was planning to buy zenfone 4 selfie until i read your comment. Why I haven't think of that. I've searched and the front camera for zenfone 3 is 8mp. How is the image quality when taking selfies? Also, what is the current OS of your zenfone 3?

  • Worst service centers and customer support. ASUS Fan with zenfone 2 laser. Now , ASUS hater with zenfone 4 selfie. phone is full of issues and got extra issues with official software update. service is pathetic.

  • Asus camera is sharp than oppo camera

  • Does it have NTFS ?

  • No have corning gorilla glass??

  • Why buy a selfie when you can get a Zenfone 3 5.5 for the same price, yes it may be older but its a really awesome performing phone, its cheaper and has the same specs and cameras are better. i still have mine and its still performing good as new to this day

  • Great value for money...and it feels durable from the first use until now, cameras are perfect..gaming is also perfect, I've played Asphalt extreme, Gangster Vegas,Asphalt nItro, No Heating issues.some multiplayer games have heating issue And it's common in every Smartphone. Fingerprint scanner is faster than Nokia 5, camera launching is also faster than the latter. Battery seems to be little but it's actually enough to last a day for an average user,and I've turned on power saving mode, the phone is still faster and smoother. Fast charging not supported, it takes almost 2&a half hrs to charge from 10% to 100%. Above all I LOVE ASUS &#129303;&#128522;

  • OTG is supported Upto 2TB hardisk is also supported of upto 2TB. I've tried 1TB HDD and it's super cool.

  • Guys I wanted to ask if anybody has the same battery issue...like within 20 mins of using facebook or Insta my battery has drained 7 percent is it normal or my phone has an haywire?

  • I was one of those who bought it on first sale at 14k and its the best phone at this price range and its my third Asus too after Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 2 laser. Advantages 1) Camera- Front is awesome and wide angle camera can cover an area more than iphone so you will have to throw away your selfie stick now.Back camera is average under auto mode and good under pro mode. 2) Speaker - Its the loudest among all phones in current price range with an outdoor mode which makes it more louder.The sound is good if you are using quality headsets.I am using a Sony pair which I bought for 500. 3)Ram - 4GB ram is fair enough at this price I am using it past 2 weeks and found no lag.Though I am not a core gamer but for games like "Stick Cricket" and "Plague" this phone handles well with music on MX player or VLC in background. 4)Memory - 64gb is again a great memory in range and enough for Apps you want to have.You are also getting dedicated memory card slot along. 5)Dedicated Memory Card Slot : So this is one of those phones where you can use 2 sims and a memory card at the same time. Disadvantages : 1) Slow charging : I was using Asus zenfone 2 laser earlier it used to charge up in an hour. But for this you need to have patience either on charger or bank.It takes around 3 hrs to charge.So no quick charging here. 2) Old Motherboard: This only a concern for those who need high internet speed to download or for gamers of high graphic games.It uses 430 snapdragon which is quite old but a stable motherboard.Nokia 3,6 are using the same motherboard along with many other.Good part is its a snapdragon so its reliable.But yes if you want to play with latest hardware this is not for you. 3) Screen Resolution: This is a bit disappointing its still 720X1280 could have been 1080x1920 but on a low size screen watching movies it doesn't matter much but yes this can be a matter for gamers. Summing up if you are a simple user I mean normal music low quality games and movies this phone is for you if you are a selfies freak this is for you else you may have to look up at other options.

  • hi, if you want more battery life, go for max then if you're addicted of taking selfies, go for zenfone 4 selfie

  • I need help.I want to buy an asus phone.My choices are only the zenfone 4 max ZC554KL and this zenfone 4 selfie.What do you think is better?Help me plz

  • This phone is good. Don't listen to these obviously spoiled kids below. lol

  • good option if you have this one

  • SOT and price in Ph?

  • I agree

  • good choice.. its good compare to vivo v5

  • i bought this phone on the day it was released in the philippines. i have no idea why i bought this phone maybe because i was satisfied with my other zenfone selfie phones performance. specs wise this is such an upgrade from from my old selfie, but the resolution of the old selfie is better then this one, they get rid alot of camera menus from the previous selfie such as image stabilization, slowmo, night mode just to name a few... auto focus on his phone sucks.... i'm not even a selfie type of person who takes pictures of myself everyday or every minute but the camera is super awesome i just wish asus would bring back all the previous camera menus that they got rid off. battery life of this phone is far better from the old selfie whereas the old selfie will only last you 4-5 hrs of battery life. this phone may not be the best phone in the market now but if ur just an average mobile phone user u will definitely enjoy this phone.... btw bloatwares from previous selfie is gone with the new version of zenui...

  • Waste of money,,wake up asus give us a good specs and ideal price.. 720P resolution?wth its already 2017 yet HD display only.

  • Huawei P10 Lite is more better than this phone

  • that price you can buy A5 2017 better camera better chipset

  • not sure if selfie lover can see clearly their filtered face on 5.5" 720p

  • what? another downgrade from the last model. the original selfie had a 1080p screen. not much of a bump in processing power either.

  • The original Asus Selfie is release two years ago has a better specification.

  • Way too costly for a Mediocre chipset. Pricing tag should have been sub 15K. Legendary LG offers High end display for a mid range device @ 15k. Why cant Asus provide high end camera for a midranger @ sub 15K?

  • Specs too old, sony xa ultra is better than this.

  • Specifically designed for people who love taking selfies 24/7

  • so the main upgrade of zenphone 4 selfie is jst 16mp camera from 13mp ? hahaha tho it has 64/4gb ram lower version is like the zen2 selfie 32/3gbram i got my phone this year couz imma poorboy zen2sefie on sale for 7k php = 140 usd i will stick to this maybe that phone will be release with 299usd pricetag double the price for just 3mp upgrade :D

  • Lol. Only one fan for this phone.

  • Looks great we have to wait for final stats

  • I hope the Chipset will not be Sd410 or Sd615

  • Is this set available in India?
