In terms of specs, the Asus Zenfone Go is a very decent device, however, the lack of 4G LTE connectivity support which can be found on devices like the Yu Yunique could be a deal breaker. Another turnoff could be the presence of just 8GB space of internal storage, but ASUS has a 16GB variant listed up but no word on any potential launch date.
