The ASUS ZenFone AR is an ambitious smartphone with many firsts to its name
Sep 09 2017 By Nitansh RastogiIt’s no doubt that the ASUS ZenFone AR is an ambitious smartphone – and the one that gels with the Taiwanese brand’s philosophy quite well – offering innovative and industry-leading features such as support for both Augmented and Virtual Reality, and 8GB RAM, along with a powerful spec sheet. It’s also able to justify its price tag of Rs 49,999 for this very reason. Having said that, if you discount the AR and VR capabilities – which are still in nascent stages and don’t offer powerful use-cases apart from some options for fun – the ZenFone AR is like any other premium smartphone. That also means that in its price band, it’s up against heavyweights such as the Google Pixel XL (review), Samsung Galaxy S8 (review) and the HTC U11 (review). Then there are upcoming smartphones such as the Nokia 8 (first impressions), which should be priced similarly, and offer a fully-loaded spec sheet.
Read Full ReviewI ordered this phone and got a prompt delivery from Flipkart. Simply loving the experience. A brilliant phone with all the latest features. A trendsetter having AR and VR both. It's lightweight and has a minimalist design. Offers an AMOLED Screen which is really nice. Sound is good as well. Love the speed offered by 8 GB RAM. nComes with a free transparent back cover and scratch guard as well. Full marks to ASUS. I was being sceptical going in for this brand for the first time but I'm glad that this phone is really good and up to my expectations!!
As expected from Asus, a wonderful phone and one of its kind. Its my 2nd Zenfone after Zenfone 2 Deluxe, now Asus is in computer chips industry from long, i believe we can differentiate it from other new startups in mobile industries. Great phone.
