The Asus ZenUI over android 5.0 lollipop is very simple to use. You can buy the 4 GB model and use it for around 2 years without hassles. This is the best smartphone in this series. Buying this phone comes under good phone deals.
2. ZE550X
The Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 is also having the same specs as that of ZE551ML and there is only difference in camera. With ASUS Zenfone 2 ZX550 you can click awesome pictures with 3X optical zoom and few other optical sensors.
Verdict : This will costlier than any other zenfone 2 model. If you do not like photography much then buying this phone is a waste of money because it has all the same specs as that of ZE551ML, so you are paying extra money just for the camera. So buying this model is not recommended according to me
3. ZE550ML
This Zenfone 2 version is another mid performer with 64 bit quad core 1.8 GHz intel atom CPU and 2 GB RAM. The GPU is PowerVR G6430 which is same in high end zenfone models. Its internal storage is 16 GB. The screen size is 5.5 inches 720p with 267 ppi. The rear camera is 13 MP and front camera is 5 MP. The battery is 3000 mAh.
Verdict : The ZE550ML model is different than other high end zenfone smartphone in terms of CPU, Data Rate and screen only. Well its a good choice if you are low on budget. But there won’t be much diference in price of ZE551ML and ZE550ML. So if you can expend some extra money then go for the Full HD model ZE551ML. Otherwise if your budget doesn’t allow you to cross then you can buy it.
4. ZE500CL
This is the cheapest model of Zenfone 2 series with a 1.6 GHz dual core intel CPU. It has PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU and 2 GB RAM.

Verdict : Only buy if you are very low on budget and looking for cheap phones that runs on android 5.0 lollipop and 2 GB RAM. Well this cell phone will be good for gaming at cheap price due to the the PowerVR SGX544MP2 because I have used PowerVR SGX540 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and it played most graphics hungry games like NFS Most Wanted, Asphalt Airborne, Real Racing 3, Modern Combat 5 etc.
