Asus Zenfone 2

 A Taiwan based company ASUSTek referred as ASUS has recently launched a new phone or we can say as a phablet  in market by the name of ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE551ML.

DESIGN :

 The design looks pretty similar to the last year's Zenfone 2. The curved back, LG G3 inspired volume buttons, power button at the top. Though it has a removable back panel, the battery of the phone cannot be replaced. As the phone is Dual Sim, the Sim card slots are under the flap and both the slots are micro-sim slots and a micro SD slot as well. At the front, we've got a huge 5.5-inch HD screen with Gorilla glass 3 protection.

SOFTWARE :

The new Zenfone 2 runs on latest OS i.e Android 5.0 (Lollipop). Zen UI is customized UI which is pretty impressive. Multitasking becomes more easier due to this custom UI. Many new and cool features are added such as 'Kids Mode' which only shows basic apps sucha as Phone, Messages,etc.

HARDWARE :

Zenfone 2 is powered by Intel's quad-core 2.3 GHz Atom Z3580 processor, with PowerVR G6430 graphics chip, 4 GB of RAM. Internal memory is about 32 GB & SD card support upto 64 GB. A 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front is available with this phone. In Connectivity part, It supports 2G, 3G and 4G while 2G can only run on second sim slot. Standard Connectivity features such as WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, and NFC. It has got an astonishing 3000 mAh battery to power this phone.

PERFORMANCE :

Zenfone 2 has got 4 gigs of RAM. Obviously there are no lags faced when we handle this device. A powerful graphic support from Hardware part can flip this device into Gaming device. This phone is awesome for Gaming geeks like me. A powerful battery don't disappoint us anytime while using this phone. As a multimedia device, the speakers are pretty decent, but sometimes it flatters when we listen to some loud music. It can play all video formats using third-party apps like MX Player Pro.

CAMERA :

It has got 13 MP auto-focus camera. The photos taken are pretty descent. The photos taken in sunlight are good but little over exposed. However HDR mode can take quite good snaps. Low-light images have low noise due to the Pixel-Master technology, but have a slightly glazed look due to the processing.   A 5 MP front facing camera has a wide-angle lens just like previous version of Zenfone. For selfies this phone is quite good.  

CONCLUSION :

ASUS Zenfone 2 is a good phone for those who are doing hard multitasking, heavy gaming, and techno geeks like me. Though 4GB of RAM is not really utilized to its full extent on mobile devices now, but with apps designed for 64-bit CPU's on the way, Asus Zenfone 2 is also a future-ready smartphone that will probably serve for quite a long time.The price of this phone will range from $199 to $399. ASUS has not yet announced the launch of Zenfone 2 in India, but it is expected to get launched soon at the price point of 20000 - 25000 INR.                     
 I'll give this phone 7.5/10
