Asus Zenfone 5 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Asus Zenfone 5 Overview
Asus Zenfone 5 - open the road to phablets!
The Asus corporation likes to experiment. The new fashion for bezelless smartphones did not pass by the manufacturer, but the developer tried to add originality to his sub-flagship. What makes the hero of today's review stand out against the background of opponents and will the novelty become more popular than its controversial predecessor?
The main "highlight" of the device is a gorgeous 6.2-inches OGS-panel with a non-standard resolution of 2246x1080pixels. Unfortunately, such a choice of the company became both a dignity and a disadvantage of the product. Excellent brightness and contrast, wonderful image detailing and the display, occupying 85% of the front surface of the gadget are unlikely to leave the buyer unhappy. But the mediocre ergonomics caused by the huge diagonal can be distressing. By design, it is difficult to make a claim. The stylish glass body is thin and beautiful, and a dualphotomodule, a fingerprintscanner and lack of bezels only strengthen the pleasant impression of what you see. But, please, do not drop this handsome guy!
But the technical specifications are far from flagship. The Snapdragon636 processor and the Adreno509 video chip can be found in the much cheaper Xiaomi Redmi Note of the fifth generation, and 4GB of RAM has already become standard for AndroidOreo. However, a that bundle can not be called bad, because it is rather enough for most demanding gaming applications. 64GB of ROM are not deprived of the neighborhood of microSD card slot. But the case of using it you have to forget about one of the SIM-cards.
A pair of rear 12-megapixelSonyIMX363 photosensors gives the opportunity to get a detailed picture with natural color reproduction even in the evening lighting. This is still not the level of camera phones, however, even the most choosy user will not be disappointed. The 5-megapixel photocamera deserves similar words. The battery capacity at 3300mAh is deadly small for such a technological unit. However, the optimization of the software allowed to receive from the battery up to six hours of active screen time. LTE, OTG and NFC will be an excellent addition to the list of advantages of the device, but the high price, not the most powerful for the segment "hardware", impressive size and low autonomy is unlikely to make it a bestseller.
