Full specs sheet for the 5-inch, $199 Asus ZenFone 2 leaks out

The Asus ZenFone 2 announcement was one of the most pleasant surprises at the CES expo last month, not least because it touted pretty decent specs for a pretty low, $199 price. Subsequently, it turned out that this tag won't be for the version with the 5.5" 1080p display, but rather for the more pedestrian 5-incher with HD 720p resolution.

Still a good deal, though, as a full specs list of the 5" ZenFone 2 has now leaked out, to match the leaked photos of the handset the other day. The 5-incher is denoted with model number ZE500CL, and will be powered by Intel's previous generation Atom Z2560 chipset, clocked at 1.6 GHz, and paired with 2 GB RAM. We've also got an 8 MP rear shooter, 2 MP frontal one, and a decent 2500 mAh battery to keep the lights on. Not too shabby, but nothing impressive either.
