With an aggressive starting price of Rs 29,999, there s no doubt that the ASUS ZenFone 5Z is aimed squarely at the OnePlus 6. Does it succeed? Find out in the review
Jul 06 2018 By Nitansh RastogiLet`s be honest here – none of these features would be impressive enough if the pricing wasn`t right. And that`s where ASUS has pulled a Xiaomi. While OnePlus has made a name for itself for affordable flagships, the Taiwanese brand has taken the fight right to the Chinese upstart by pricing its offering considerably lesser. The base model of the ZenFone 5Z carries a price tag of Rs 29,999 as compared to the OnePlus 6, which costs Rs 34,999 for the same 6GB RAM + 64GB storage model. If you consider the highest-end 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant than the difference is even more significant, as the 5Z is priced at Rs 36,999 versus the Rs 44,999 asking price for the top-end OP6.Related read: ASUS ZenFone 5Z vs OnePlus 6For the price, you get a great design that follows modern aesthetics, a capable IPS display, top-notch internals, powerful rear cameras and a reliable battery life. While the selfie camera might not be as good as the competition, the AI features will definitely aid the user experience. And if you`re still on the fence about the smartphone, the brand has ensured that the package is made even more lucrative. With the use of ICICI debit or credit cards, buyers can get an instant discount of Rs 3,000. This brings the effective cost of the base model down to Rs 26,999, which is a similar price point as the Nokia 7 Plus (review). Then there`s Complete Mobile Protection too, which is available for a discounted rate of Rs 499 and protects the handset against all sorts of damage, including liquid spills and screen crack issues.In sum, while the OnePlus smartphones, including the OnePlus 6, have been the de facto choices in the affordable flagship genre, the ASUS ZenFone 5Z stakes a solid claim for the throne and doesn`t seem to be missing out on anything that will bring it down.
