Manufacturers normally offer one or perhaps two versions of their latest device, but Asus has decided that six is right. Namely:
ZenFone 4
ZenFone 4 Pro
ZenFone 4 Max
ZenFone 4 Max Pro
ZenFone 4 Selfie
ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro

As you can see, the range really consists of three pairs, so it's not too confusing. The ZenFone 4 Pro is the highest-specced device in the range: a 1080p 5.5" OLED display; powered by a Snappy 835; 6gb of RAM and a minimum of 64gb of storage; dual cameras, one a 25mm equivalent, the other a 50mm equivalent; and a 3600mAh battery.
All will run Android O out of the box, and as a bonus, promise to have much fewer pre-installed apps compared to previous Asus phones.
Sound good so far?
 
I like that they are trimming down the OS. But beyond that, I don't get why there needs to be so many variants.
 
I think so many variants will just confuse potential customers. Less tech savvy customers might even have difficulty understanding the differences between all those variants.
 
Wow, this is a great lineup! And I'm very impressed with the 3600 mAh battery on the Pro! Fantastic!

Where is the 5000mah variant? I was going to go pick up a Zenphone3 zoom for that battery alone. But it is now a year old, and since I keep my phones forever, I like to buy from when it is released.

Sorry, I'm not sure!
