After introducing the ZenFone 5 (A502CG), also known as the ZenFone 5 Lite, in the Philippines last month, Asus has now brought the smartphone to Indian shelves priced at a Rs. 8,999. The handset is available to buy via retail partner Flipkart.

The ZenFone 5 (A502CG) is a lite-variant of the ZenFone 5 (A501CG) smartphone. The dual-SIM Asus ZenFone 5 (A502CG) runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box with ZenUI and features a 5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) display. The display is also powered by the company's own TruVivid technology for throwing more vibrant colours on the screen.

Since the handset is a lite-version, it is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2520 processor with Hyper-Threading (Threads-4, Cache 1MB,) coupled with 1GB of RAM as opposed to the ZenFone 5 (A501CG) - which comes with a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor with Hyper-Threading that's coupled with 2GB of RAM. However, the firm has included a 2500mAh battery, which is a slight bump from the A501CG model's 2110mAh battery.

The device measures 72.8x148.2x10.8mm, weighs 160 grams and is only available in a Deep Black colour variant from Flipkart.
