Asus Zenfone 5 16GB Expert Review Summary

The ASUS Zenfone 5 s primary 8MP camera looks quite capable

Verdict

The ASUS Zenfone 5`s primary 8MP camera looks quite capable The ASUS Zenfone range has just been launched in the country, and as a pleasant surprise, has been priced rather aggressively. This bodes well for ASUS’ latest incursion into the c...

Long shot +

This ASUS Zenfone 5 camera sample displays good detail and colour accuracy, with reproduction of faraway objects like the buildings in the distance handled reasonably well. The image is in focus throughout, though it does tend to blur when zoomed in.

Close up +

This image captured as part of the Zenfone 5 camera test has been shot at close quarters and highlights the capabilities of the primary shooter. The colours and details look good, and the camera does look quite capable, though it does tend to oversaturate the colours to some extent.

Close up (zoomed in) +

Zooming in on the above image corroborates our theory, and we can see that the ASUS Zenfone 5 camera manages to display a fair degree of variance and colour separation.

HDR off +

Shot in auto mode, we’ll use the above image to figure out how good the HDR mode on the Zenfone 5 is, but it’s easy to see how well the snapper retains the details.

Read More
HDR on +

With HDR mode set to on, the ASUS Zenfone 5 camera performance can be evaluated. Comparing with the image shot in auto, we can make out that it does have an effective HDR mode which doesn’t make the photo look unnatural but brings out the colours better and highlights the darker areas well.

Night shot (auto) +

Low light is the nemesis of most smartphone snappers, and the Zenfone 5 is no different. This image shot in auto mode is quite dark and noisy too

Night shot (with low light mode) +

Loaded with PixelMaster tech, ASUS claims this shooter can capture great low light shots, so we decided to put it to the test. The camera detects ambient conditions and prompts you to activate low light mode. An ‘owl’ icon appears, and the low light mode can be activated by tapping on it, or via the list of modes accessible separately. This mode shoots in 2-megapixel resolution only, but as we can see, manages to output night shots that are quite usable. You need to hold the phone steady and it does take its own sweet time, but the camera almost seems to create a shot out of nothing. In conditions where most other smartphone cameras only capture patches of light, the Zenfone 5 captures grainy, albeit very usable images.

Low light +

Shot indoors in low light without the flash, there’s some loss of detail in the above image, and the colours look muted as well.

Read More
Low light (with flash) +

Shooting the same scene with the flash on, it appears that the Zenfone 5’s LED flash isn’t too strong. While it liven up the image a bit, the details are still lacking and the colours look off.
