ASUS Zenfone 5 review: a surprise package loaded with features

The ASUS Zenfone 5 manages to stand out with its useful software features

Jul 12 2014 By Deepak Dhingra
PROS
  • Stylish looks
  • Smooth performance
  • Lovely display
  • Feature-loaded and capable snapper
  • Fresh-looking UI with tons of useful features
  • Host of handy apps
CONS
  • The design's mainstay, the concentric circle pattern, is prone to scratches
  • Average battery life
Verdict

The 8GB variant of the Zenfone 5 will be yours for Rs 9,999, while you can opt for the 16GB version if you’re willing to shell out Rs 12,999. At this cost, it’s a worthy alternative to the Moto G (review), which has so far been ruling the roost in this price bracket. The Zenfone 5 trumps over it because of the larger screen and double the RAM, not to mention a better camera. The other 5-inch options available in a similar price bracket as the 16GB Zenfone 5 include the Huawei Honor 3C (first impressions) and the Micromax Canvas Turbo, but the Zenfone 5 still stands out thanks to its camera and software features. And if you consider its 8GB variant, it hardly has any rival in the sub-Rs 10,000 range that can match its specs.From a capable shooter to its smooth performance, and a software interface that’s not only refreshing, but also offers loads of useful apps and features, the ASUS Zenfone 5 is a solid option that looks like great value for money. As we write this, the Xiaomi Mi 3 hasn’t landed in India yet, and that also looks like a game-changer for the specs it offers and for the price it’s listed at. However, that doesn’t take away anything from the fact that ASUS has managed to come up with a very worthy option if you’re looking for a capable daily driver.

Good Phone, Very bad connection Problem but shorted it out now....
30 Aug 2014 By Vivek Jain M On flipkart.com

When i first bought this phone, i was very disappointed to find out you cannot switch between 2G and 3G network mode on this phone.Its always on the dual mode.nnIts particularly very bad when your home is on fringes of mobile network in your area, I rarely got 3G tower in my phone. but then i found out a way for it online.nnJust dial *#*#4636#*#*nnand select Phone information Tab,nnthen scroll down and change WCDMA Preferred to WCDMA Only.nnand you will start getting 3G tower.nPls rate this as high as possible so everybody knows about this.....

Poor battery life
19 Jul 2014 By Sharat On flipkart.com

At first I would like to say Im a geek and im too much into tech and all so this review is heavynThis phone is great in terms of features. ZenUI is great. No lags while using the phone. Playstore crashes sometimes, unnecessary apps like weather, cloud storage and all take up some RAM ,Weather app cant be disabled.Out of 2 Gb RAM 600-700 mb is consumed already. Screen is great to look at, colors,sharpness etc , camera is good as well.n It has FM radio too.nNow coming the major issues which may change your decision to buy this phone.nHaving a 5 inch display,2gb of RAM, powerful graphics processor and a powerful cpu(intel atom[used in laptops mostly]) 2110 mah battery seems too less for this phone.nAlthough ASUS has managed to make this work by battery saver which works great only when youre not using the internet. Once you connect to wifi or 3g the battery drains at whooping rate of 1% per minute! The same happens when you play games.nComing the second con which again is may change your mindnIt has intel "x86" based processor, most of the apps made for android are designed to work in ARM based CPU(snapdragon processors or other ones to be specific). Many apps do work though.nTo make it clear, GTA San Andreas game was not designed for x86 CPU in the android version so the game crashes when you try to open it.Similarly you may face problems with other apps.nMaximum apps do work so not much of an issue for now.(Like various messengers,video players etc)nI tried playing GTA Vice City, it worked smoothly but as I said battery is not that great for gaming.nI still gave 4 stars because the phone isnt that terrible,nexcept from the battery everything else is great.nPROSnGreat display qualitynSmooth interfacenCamera works great(low ligh mode and all)nbattery standby is amazing(no drop in battery % after locking the screen)nInternet speed is amazing while using 3GnBuild qualitynLooksnScratch resistant screennReading mode in builtnMatte finish at back for good gripnnConsnBATTERY!!nPhone Volume levels are little low for listening to music on speaker.nFor ringtones and notification tones it is finenNotification led is way to dim. Cannot notice until you go near the phone and the notification colors are limited to green,red,orange onlynVery big in size its like 6 inch phablet with 5 inch screen.nNo backlit keys which is irritating to use at nightnnASUS must solve some problems in their update. battery life can be increased by removing useless apps and clocking cpu etcnARM emulation should be enabled for applicationsnNotification led brightness can be increased by tweaking voltage of LEDnOn screen navigation buttons can be enabled if ASUS works on it.nnIf these problems are solved this phone would be a hit in the market.nAt last I would say get this phone only if youre not a geek user like me and youre not into 24 hrs internet surfing or chatting.For general usage like calls,messages,music,watching videos,very lite browsing and whatsapp and very little amount of gaming get this phone because its dead cheap for these specs.nAlthough I am disappointed at ASUS for providing such great specs with such a terrible battery.
