ASUS ZenFone Go 4.5 is a stripped-down version of the ZenFone Go, which was unveiled few months back, targeted at buyers more conscious of their pocket. The entry-level smartphone sports a decent FWVGA display and is powered by a quad-core processor, while running off feature-rich Android software.

Display and Camera
As you may have guessed from its name, the ZenFone Go 4.5 packs a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. The quality of the screen is comparable to what you’d see on most budget devices in its price range.
The phone is fitted with a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera for respectable picture quality. Users are provided with a measly 0.3-megapixel front-facing snapper, which significantly limits the quality of selfies you can expect to capture.
Processor, RAM and Operating System
Under the hood, ASUS ZenFone Go 4.5 is equipped with a quad-core MediaTek MT6580M processor pacing along at a maximum speed of 1.3 GHz. The chip is paired with a lowly 1 GB of RAM – the hallmark of most budget devices.
The phone should deliver decent responsiveness, so long you did not leave too many apps open at the same time. However, the ZenFone Go 4.5 boots Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system – an interesting offering for a smartphone this cheap. The OS is coated with ASUS’ ZenUI 2.0 skin.
Other Features
Onboard storage capacity of 8 GB looks decent, and you will be able to extend this by another 64 GB as well using a microSD card. For good measure, ASUS is also throwing in 100 GB of free storage on Google Drive for two years and another 5 GB of complementary ASUS Web Storage valid for the entire useful life of the phone.
ASUS ZenFone Go 4.5 is accompanied by a 1600mAh battery. It supports dual-SIM, dual standby feature. Connectivity options Bluetooth, 3G and Wi-Fi. It shouldn’t really be surprising that this one does not come with 4G LTE support, however.
Pricing and Availability
Asus Zenfone Go 4.5 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Asus Zenfone Go 4.5 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N42,000 to N55,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
