There is 1.2ghz of Intel Atom Dual Processor Using Z2520 Chipset. With PowerVR540Mp2 GPU as Graphic Processor and 2GB of RAM. Even Though it's Dual Core Processor it Can Work As Quad core Processor With the Help of Intel Multi threading  Technology.Though Phone Doesn't Hangs or Lag While Normal Usage But It Lags Like Hell on High End Games .i Tried Modern Combat 4 and Subway Suffer to Test Its Graphic Performance. Unfortunately MC4 Lags/Hangs Like Hell and Subway Sufer works But Not up to Mark. Hanset also Gets Heated Up Quickly even though on Normal Usage.

It has 2GB of RAM and 8GB of Internal storage and SDcard Slot which supports up to 64GB.Out of 8GB of RAM about 5GB is Available for User. Storage Capacity is High So No Problem in that. When I Installed Games its Got Defaultly Saved in Internal storage however we can Change it To SDcard as there is Option in Setting. It also Supports OTG- You Can Access Content of Your Pen drive Using OTG Wire/Adapter. Its Running Android 4.3 JellyBean But Asus Had Provided Update 4.4 KitKat so that You Can Update it. There is Asus Own UI on top of it Named as Zen UI. It has Many More Features and New Look Than Stock Android like Glove Mode, Easy Mode( Which Gives Fully Easier Ui), Reading Mode Etc.

Battery state and Other:-

There is 2100mAh of Battery which is Not Removeable and Sufficient for it. It Drains Very Fastly. As there is Intel SoC it gets Heated Up and Drains Fastly. We Can Expect up to 3Hrs of Backup om medium to Heavy Usage. WiFi, Bluetooth,GPS Works Fine. GPS lock is also Very Quick. It has Proximity,Gyro, Accelerometer etc. But Light Sensor is Missing. In call Volume and Sound is Loud and Clear. Hindi Language is also supported as well. Its an dual Sim Hanset with 3G support and Both Sims slots Supports MicroSims.

Final Verdict:-

If You Like to Have an Camera Phone in Budget and Gaming is Doesn't Matter then This Device is good For you.
The main Major Con's are Poor Performance and battery Drain. It also Gets Heated Up a lot Quickly.
For Rs.7999 It May Be Good device But there are Other Options Like Lenovo , A6000, Moto E(2nd Gen) to Choose For.
