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
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

ZENFONE 4 SELFIE PRO
Asus
Snapdragon 625 processor

€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

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.
