Asus launced the zenfone on April 23,2015 in India and I was invited for the launch.I had the privilege to check out phone even before it’s launch which was great.The phone was launched by Saif Ali Khan and other celebrities including Asus’s global CEO came at the phone launch.It was a great evening.Now coming to the phone review.
The Asus Zenfone 2 is a good phone.The specs are mind-blowing.It has 4 GB ram and so now you would never run out of memory.The phone comes with Android L.You can play multiple games simultaneously.The processor used is also powerful which is intel’s 64 bit 2.3 GHz Quad core atom processor.The screen size of 5.5 inch full HD.The camera on the phone is also nice.It has a 13 MP primary camera and 5 MP front camera.The camera app gives you full control over your photos.You can manually change the color temperature and you can also change the picture quality by selecting how many megapixels you want to use.Default is 13 MP.With Asus’s Pixelmaster 2.0 technology you can even click a 52MP photograph this means that even though the hardware can only take 13 MP photos but the software is capable of taking and processing 52 MP photos.The camera flash (Zenflash)is similar to the one which was introduced with iPhone 5s.It has two led’s of different colors which mix up together to produce a better flash effect.I did not check out the low light photography but the company claims it has much better low light photography as compared to iPhone 6.To make opening apps easy Asus has introduced zenmotion with this you can make custom gestures on lock screen to open a particular app directly.You can easily wake up your phone by double tapping it.The charging on the device is superfast.The phone charges to 60% in 39min.With fast charging of 10 min you get 4 hours of 2G talktime and 2.7 hours of 3G talktime.The GPS is also interesting.It features 5-mode positioning navigation which takes navigation data from five satellites to give more accurate and better results.Now coming to the design the back has a metal like plastic which looks fine.The volume rockers have been placed at the back just below the camera which in a way makes it easier to control volume since your hand covers the back when you hold the phone.The sleep\wake button is now at the top.Asus claims that the phone was designed keeping ergonomics in mind to make it feel comfortable in the hand.The phone comes in many colors and Asus has introduced two new color series they are transfusion series and illusion series.They told that the main purpose for this was to make the phone attractive so that others quickly pay attention to it.
