The four-lensed ZenFone 5Q, is now available in the US

Asus’ new midrange phone, the four-lensed ZenFone 5Q, is now available in the US.


  • The Asus ZenFone 5Q was slated for release in July but is available now.
    Different sites have different pricing and availability for some reason.
    B&H Photo is the best place to buy the Asus ZenFone 5Q as of right no    w.

Launching at $299 (about £232 or AU$392, though availability hasn’t been settled for regions outside of the US) for GSM networks like AT&T, T-Mobile and others, this model is priced rather competitively against recent favorites like the Moto G6 and Honor 7X.


The rest of the US-bound ZenFone 5Q’s specs include a Snapdragon 630 chipset, Adreno 508 GPU, 4GB RAM, a fingerprint sensor, Android Oreo with Asus’ custom ZenUI 5.0 skin, and a 3,300mAh battery. Imaging-wise, there’s hope that the front-facing 20MP Sony sensor will take more than decent photos — it has an f/2.0 aperture and LED flash — when paired with another front-facing camera using a 120-degree wide-angle lens.

This model is loaded with a Snapdragon 630 with 4GB of RAM, each powering its 6-inch IPS 2,160 x 1,080 display. Additionally, the 5Q has you set for a global adventure with dual SIM slots and support for microSD cards to expand its default 64GB of storage.

Other highlights include a 3,300mAh battery and 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone runs on Android Oreo software, though wrapped with Asus‘s ZenUI 5.0 interface (thankfully much improved).


Amazon also lists the Asus ZenFone 5Q at $299, but is temporarily out-of-stock for both color variants. If you simply must buy from Amazon, you’ll have to wait until it comes back in stock.

Finally, Newegg also sells the Asus ZenFone 5Q, but wants nearly double the list price: $418. We’re not quite sure why it’s asking so much more than other sites, but it’s likely because it’s being sold by a third-party seller, which has jacked-up the price with no connection to Newegg.

Other sites might have the device for sale too, but these are the ones we usually buy from. If you find a better deal, let us know in the comments!
