Asus Zenfone 6
The Asus Zenfone 6 is a mid-range phablet that is positioning itself to be friendlier to a consumer’s wallets than other high-end phablets available right now.
For the price, one might expect to see some cut corners, but it's actually powered by a 2 GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor and a PowerVR 544MP2 graphics processor. Together with 2 GB of RAM, these ensure a smooth experience. You won't face problems running most applications except some extremely high-end games and multitasking will be a breeze.
It comes out of the box with 4.3 Jellybean and is upgradeable to 4.4 KitKat. Storage is 16 GB with microSD support up to 64 GB. So, space will definitely not be a problem. The 13 MP rear camera is pretty solid for this budget and with its selfie mode, you can take selfies with the rear camera as it detects as many as four faces. The front camera is 2 MP and you won’t be using it much with the rear camera’s selfie mode.
A 3300 mAh battery supplies the energy for the components. It is more than sufficient for a full day of web browsing, gaming, calling and media playback. The Zenfone 6 is definitely a good option for those seeking a phablet but are not willing to fork out the money for higher end devices. It holds up more than admirably against them.

Design for a small price. This was Asus' goal for the Zenfone 6, a 6-inch phablet with HD resolution, bright IPS touchscreen, a powerful Intel Atom dual-core SoC, as well as 16 GB flash storage for a fair price of 279 Euros (~$353, RRP). The combination looks promising.

On the whole we were very impressed with the Asus ZenFone 6. It is very affordable for the size and has potential to meet a new niche in the market. Solid everyday performance, despite lagging behind in the benchmarks, means the ZenFone can keep up with everything you throw at it. On top of this is the sleek design which fits the display and home buttons into a relatively small space.

The ZenFone 6 offers a good screen and camera. It's multimedia performance as well as the UI are great. What's more, the phone's build quality is solid. So if you don't mind lugging around, go for the Zenfone 6. Those who know the fact that bigger is not better in terms of mobiles, should rather consider the Zenfone 5.

The ZenFone 6 is not going to appeal to everyone. It really is huge, so it's not the most portable of smartphones, but if you're ok with that you're going to benefit from a brilliant device for watching TV and movies on the commute. If it's playing games you're most keen on, you might need to look elsewhere as the ZenFone 6 isn't he most powerful of options, but for £250 you'll get a good-looking phablet with satisfactory specs, an impressive camera and a really nice user interface.

The question of whether you should buy the Asus Zenfone 6 needs to be countered with another: are you sure you really need or want the Zenfone 6? We’re not trying to dissuade you from upgrading your phone, but are you sure you want a 6-inch one? Even the leap from a 5.5-inch phone is significant. And while we got used to the Zenfone 6’s size, we found the phone often ending up in a bag rather than a pocket because of its sheer size.

We generally like our phablets to come packing a Full HD screen for maximum movie enjoyment, or some kind of creative features to justify the bloody enormous display. The Asus Zenfone 6 doesn’t come with a stylus or any arty features to speak of, but it can boast one of the cheapest price tags of any phablets out there.

The Zenfone 6 is basically a 6 inch version of the Zenfone 5. But while the Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 5 both justify their price, the Zenfone 6 doesn't. Asus has gone overboard with the size and not given the device the power to match it.

Asus has managed to create a phablet that boasts of good hardware components, good build quality, and decent camera performance. Most importantly, it costs less than many of good phablets which cost the same or even significantly more, including the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, HTC Desire 816 and Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. Both the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual and Desire 816 are priced above Rs. 20,000 while the Grand 2 costs slightly less than Rs. 20,000 now.

Asus Zenfone 5
The Asus Zenfone 5 runs with a dual core platform. With a clock rate of 1,6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, it is relatively powerful. This chip delivers better performance than the usual Snapdragon 400 SoC, which is used for phones within this phone budget. The 5-inch HD IPS display with corning Gorilla Glass looks and feels sturdy. Thanks to Corning Gorilla glass, this phone is scratch resistant.
It is available in black, white, red, purple and gold. The capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 1280x720 and 16M colors. It delivers vivid colors and the IPS technology also promises good viewing angles.
The phone features Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and Zen UI, which is one of the better user interfaces added on top of the android system. It also features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera. The phone has a 2100 mAh battery that can easily last a day. It can last for up to 353 hours on standby and 18 hours talk time, both with 3G activated.
The Zenfone 5 is available with a storage capacity of 8 GB or 16 GB. It can be expanded via microSD slot, which can carry up to 64 GB. Unfortunately, this phone may suffer from occasional heating issues when used for prolonged periods due to its Intel processor.

It is as resourceful as the Sony Xperia T3 (which is more expensive), and costs as much as the Motorola Moto G, famous for its excellent price point.

The Asus Zenfone 5 is nicely-designed budget phone with a cool user interface, a plethora of storage options and a reasonable price to boot. However our enthusiasm is hobbled by the fact that the battery is rubbish - and it’s not replaceable, a cardinal sin.

Power users may find the relatively low-end processor and middling battery life limiting, but otherwise the value of the Asus Zenfone 5 is undeniable. A 4G phone with a decent 5in screen and solid performance all for £200 is rare. The Zenfone 5 sets a standard that is unlikely to be matched by the biggest names such as Samsung and Sony this year.

If you are not concerned about 4G or being a version behind on the software, the ZenFone 5 is very easy to recommend. It is a very compelling package having a great screen, decent camera, good performance and a nice software skin. The only device that comes close is the Moto G. Asus should have released the ZenFone 5 eight months ago. Had Asus done that, it might have propelled it to the top of the mid-range Android class. As it is, Asus misses out not by having a weak device, instead it is the timing that seems wrong.

The Asus Zenfone 5 offers much of the experience of a phone that, until recently, would have cost twice the price. However, its main competitor, the pocket-pleasing Moto G (2014), does make it tough for the Asus to truly stand out. If Asus were to add a better battery, boost the maximum screen brightness then this phone would be a step ahead. Even so, if you're on a budget then it's definitely one to check out. As a first stab at making a mainstream phone, the Asus Zenfone 5 is a fine effort.

We really like the ZenFone 5. From its design and battery life to its software and price tag, this smartphone has got a lot going for it. However, it's well worth checking whether Motorola's Moto G is a better choice for you, as it could save you a bit of money but provide very similar features, including an 8Mp camera, a 294ppi 5in IPS screen and a microSD slot (though it only adds up to 32GB).

After the searing disappointment of the Asus Zenfone 4, the Zenfone 5 is a real relief. It’s better in almost every respect, and easily merits the extra cash. It's an excellent phone in most respects, and should help put Asus on the map as a phone-maker to watch out for if you want a good-value phone. For now it’s a pretty good alternative to the Motorola Moto G if you want a slightly larger screen. If that sounds like you, stick it on your shortlist. There are a couple of little bits to tweak in the Asus Zenfone 5, but the value on offer here is fantastic. Other 5-inch phones at the price don’t get you screens anywhere near as good as this.

In our books, that seems like unbeatable value when you consider its rich feature-set and good all-round performance. It’s really hard to fault the Zenfone 5 as it doesn’t really stumble much in any department. The Moto G seems to have met its match, finally!

The Asus Zenfone 5 is good enough value in other aspects of the package that it could be worth overlooking any issues with the camera and battery life. Its size and price is relatively unique, with its competitors either costing more, having inferior specifications in other areas, or packing smaller displays. If you’re after a 5.0-inch smartphone with decent hardware at the lowest possible cost, the Zenfone 5 will likely suit your needs.

It’s really hard to fault the Zenfone 5 as it doesn’t really stumble much in any department. The Moto G seems to have met its match, finally!

If Asus puts a smart price tag on the ZenFone 5, then it could give the Moto G a run for its money. It offers a good looking design and respectable performance capability. There are many other reliable brands out there in the market, and Asus has done a good job with the Zenfone 5. But having said that, it will have to do a lot more if it wants to give the other brands tough competition. The smartphone is not a bad choice if you are aiming for a mid-ranged device with a decent performance package and design, but quite honestly, there is room for improvement.

The Asus ZenFone 5 packs a punch with its screen and solid build quality. It's pretty impressive for a mid-range phone. However, we would like to wait for the price to be announced officially before commenting on the overall value for money. One thing is for sure, if the ZenFone 5 is priced between Rs. 10,000 and 15,000, it will be compared to the popular Moto G and could be a pretty good alternative for those who prefer large screens.

O Zenfone 5 está R$ 100 mais caro do que o seu antecessor (com o pagamento à vista) ou R$ 150 a mais (a prazo). Ou seja, você precisa desembolsar R$ 1.999 ou R$ 2.249. É uma baita grana, dá para fazer bastante coisa com dois mil reais, mas esse é o ponto em que chegamos: um celular que não pode ser considerado topo de linha custa isso aí, seja ele da Asus, da Motorola ou da Samsung.
Positive: Nice display; long battery life; large screen.

Asus Zenfone 4
The ZenFone 4 is Asus’ latest flagship mid-range smartphone. Featuring an attractive design, above-average camera, and reasonably good battery life, the ZenFone 4 is Asus’ finest phone to date and will meet 99% of people’s needs. It follows the same mixed-material strategy as the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8, featuring a Gorilla Glass 4 front and back and metal sides. The device feels solid in the hand and the glass is not terribly slippery even when wet. It also ticks all the right boxes when it comes to functionality. On the front, users will find a fingerprint scanner, which although not the fastest around, works well enough. A bog-standard USB-C charging port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack sit on the bottom side. The 64 GB of internal storage will meet most users' needs, and the inclusion of a microSD card makes it easy enough to add further space if required. Under the hood, the Asus ZenFone 4 is powered by an octa-core, 1.4 GHz, Cortex A53 processor paired with 4 GB of RAM. With this hardware specification, multi-tab web browsing runs smoothly and the ZenFone 4 can stream video and music without issue. The ZenFone runs the latest Android Nougat 7.1 software overlaid with the Asus ZenUI skin. An update to Oreo has been confirmed. Asus has completely reworked Nougat’s settings menu, loading it with more customization options that can easily be counted. Some, such as Splendid, or the ability to create custom audio profiles are useful. The display of the smartphone is a 5.5-inch 1080p FHD resolution screen. Some people may bemoan the fact that Asus did not take the step up to QHD, but the fact remains that for most people FHD will be more than good enough. A user will struggle to spot individual pixels, and text and icons are universally sharp. The Asus Splendid screen technology made it easy to manually adjust the ZenFone 4’s screen temperature. The ZenFone features a dual-lens rear camera that combines a 12-megapixel Sony IMX362 image sensor with a secondary 8-megapixel, 120-degree wide-angle lens. The setup is similar in strategy to that of the Galaxy S8, and a marked departure from most competing, mid-range dual-lens systems such as the Honor 9. Such devices use a mixed RGB and monochrome sensor setup. Asus claims the ZenFone’s setup enables the phone to take “five times brighter and clearer photos in low light” and offers a “200% larger” field of view than competing handsets. As far as the battery is concerned, it uses 3000 mAh model. Standby times are excellent as, unlike many flagships with skins, Android’s Doze feature does its stuff on the ZenFone 4. Doze is a nifty battery-saving feature that intelligently shuts down non-essential processes when the phone is not used for a prolonged period. As a result, the ZenFone 4 loses only around 1-3% of its charge overnight. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

What really stands out with the Zenfone 4 is the quality of the build. This is a good looking phone, in many ways similar to the sort of thing we've been seeing from Honor over the past 12 months. With that in mind, the Honor 9 is likely to be this phone's biggest competitor and with a £379 price tag on the Honor 9, you can see that Asus has its work cut out for it.

There's certainly a lot to like about the ZenFone 4, and it's easily the most complete package Asus has ever released over on UK shores, but I wonder if it does enough to truly challenge the similarly-priced competition.

No, I’m not telling you to wait for Zenfone V, that’d be ridiculous. But wait, there’s more! Personally, I find that ASUS gave the Zenfone 4 a love-it-or-hate-it relationship with their obvious focus on their mid-range contenders, the Zenfone 4 Selfie and Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro. The features it has not necessarily outweigh one another, but it would have been really great if ASUS retails this for below $500.

ASUS certainly did not let down with their mainstream flagship device, the titular character of the Zenfone 4 lineup. With its premium and classy design, up to date internals, Super IPS display, and good camera performance, the ASUS Zenfone 4 is certainly worthy of representing an entire series of smartphones.

On the whole, the ASUS ZenFone 4 is a decent little phone. It doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but it doesn’t try to. What it tries to be is a dependable budget phone, and it mostly succeeds. The display works fine. Granted, it’s not the vivid display on the iPhone 5s, though they may be the same size – but the ZenFone is a whole lot cheaper. ZenUI, too, remains sleek and simple, though slightly more fiddly due to the smaller screen.

If you’re looking for a budget blower, don’t waste your money on this - save up a teeny bit more and grab yourself the latest Moto G or even the Moto E. Its paltry display, bulky build and muddy resolution doesn’t do it any favours, and you’re better off spending your cash on something with a bit more quality.

The Asus Zenfone 4 packs lots of features into a tiny package. But the budget price means that the phone has cut corners, which is evident in the low-resolution display and underpowered processor and camera. Yet, there’s lots to like about the Zenfone 4: the design and the build quality is one of the best we’ve seen on a budget phone, it’s simple to use and basic functions run smoothly. It also lets you boost the storage with the SD card slot. If you are cash-strapped, looking for an Android phone that provides good value for money, the Zenfone 4 is one of the best phones you can buy at the moment. Though not all, it checks most boxes to be a solid budget smartphone. However, if you need a slightly better display and battery life then go for the Moto E.

For £99, we're impressed by the ZenFone 4. It's nicely designed, has brilliant software features, is suitably speedy and has decent battery life, but it's not outstanding. We'd like to see a slightly better camera and the addition of 4G connectivity. We'd suggest checking out the EE Kestrel and the Motorola Moto G 2014 as alternatives to the ZenFone 4, but it's certainly a worthy contender and we think you'll be satisfied if you decide to go with this good budget smartphone.

The Asus Zenfone 4 is a sound first try at a phone for the masses. However, there are just a few too many problems for it to be a really great alternative to the several great £100 phones out there. It’s not really a case of missing features, much as we’d like to see 4G in the Zenfone 4. It’s more that the poor battery life and uninspiring screen mean the phone doesn’t really stack up against either the Motorola Moto G, or the cheaper Moto E.

The Zenfone 4's screen is pretty bad but nearly everything else is outstanding. We're particularly impressed with the device's camera capabilities. Full HD video recording is pretty neat, and it's nice to have a front camera - more so one that isn't terrible! We're looking forward to the A450CG revision which has a totally different screen and have high hopes that Asus will improve on this phone's one weakness.

Asus ZenFone 5 LTE
The affordable Asus ZenFone series gains another member in the form of the Zenfone 5 LTE. The overall design is similar to the normal ZenFone 5, which is simple and understated. The entire phone is made of plastics, except for a concentric metal strip at the bottom bezel and metal buttons on the sides of the phone. The plastic back portion can be switched to a different color if the user so chooses. The 5 inch LCD IPS display is 1280 x 720 pixels with a pixel density of 320 ppi. The screen has a good range of bright colors but its brightness is not as high as some of its costlier counterparts, making it slightly difficult to view under very bright and glaring sunlight. The display panel is also covered with Gorilla Glass 3. One major difference the ZenFone 5 LTE has is the presence of a Quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, with 2 GB RAM and a spacious internal storage of 16 GB. The processor is combined with a 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU. Additionally, it uses the newer Android 4.4 KitKat with Zen UI. The phone also comes with two cameras, an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. Compared to the other members of the ZenFone series, this particular phone seems to be fitted with the best options and specifications so far.Specifications

The Asus Zenfone 5 offers much of the experience of a phone that, until recently, would have cost twice the price. However, its main competitor, the pocket-pleasing Moto G (2014), does make it tough for the Asus to truly stand out. If Asus were to add a better battery and boost the maximum screen brightness then this phone would be a step ahead. Even so, whether you choose the 3G or 4G LTE model, if you're on a budget then it's definitely one to check out.

Regardless of some weaknesses, ASUS’ ZenFone C can be defined as one of the best models in this price range. It would be better to see an IPS panel in order to provide better viewing angles, or to get better results on the battery endurance tests, but on the other hand the Intel CPU is a good indicator. The PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU provides rarely seen graphics performance in this class matching the scores of Snapdragon 400/410 and the Adreno 305/306 GPUs commonly used in smartphones with double the ZenFone C’s price tag.

In the price sensitive budget market, the Zenfone C has basically been squeezed in to increase the company’s product portfolio. I would much rather save Rs. 1,000 and buy the Zenfone 4 instead, because the smaller display isn’t a big compromise. In this day and age, if I’m going to spend anything above Rs. 5,000, then I want a much better device. This is the same thing I had written for the Asus Zenfone 6 earlier, which was basically the Zenfone 5 with a bigger display and a much higher price tag. You would get a better buy not only in the Zenfone 4, but also in the higher priced Lenovo A6000 and new Moto E.

The ZenFone C is somewhat of an update to the ZenFone 4, but isn't very different from it in many ways. The larger screen is nice to have, but even so, Asus will have to do a lot more to be competitive as others release newer and more capable products. The Xiaomi Redmi 1S is still the class leader, though its highly restricted availability leaves a lot of room for companies such as Asus to be successful. If you think the ZenUI might be too confusing, there are also plenty of stock Android One devices in the market at this price level.

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML
The Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML is beautiful and modern and fits nicely in the hand while delivering the performance to match. Edges are ultra-thin at just 3.9 mm making the smartphone look seamless while the edges are nicely rounded for superior ergonomics. The entire back panel provides a good texture to grip on and also gives a premium look to the smartphone. At the back of the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML are intuitive rear controls which aids in snapping selfies and adjusting the volume. There are several colors to choose from; osmium black, sheer gold, glacier grey, glamor red and ceramic white. The Android 5.0 Lollipop device comes with an Intel Atom quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, a PowerVR G6430 GPU and multiple internal storage options ranging from 16 GB to 64 GB. The 5.5 inch IPS display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. There is a 13 MP autofocus dual-LED primary camera and a secondary front-facing 5 MP shooter. Other features on the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML consist of Bluetooth 4.0, FM radio with RDS, A-GPS and USB host. Battery life on the smartphone is impressive with a non-removable Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 3000 mAh.Specifications

4 GB of RAM! We all knew it was inevitable, but it's finally here -- the first major consumer smartphone with 4 GB dual-channel DDR3 RAM. Not only that, but it can also be had for just $300. Is this 5.5-inch monster enough to lure users away from popular Chinese brands like the OnePlus One?

Since we’re nearing the end of the review and I still haven’t touched on the ZenFone 2’s camera, I’ll do that now. During the time I’ve had with the phone, I didn’t put too much emphasis on photo snapping simply because it became obvious quick that this phone’s camera isn’t going to impress too many people. Yet again, I have to pull the “What else do you expect from a $200 phone?” trick out of my hat.

Asus Zenfone2 presents a good overall package with high performance numbers. But the excessive bloatware can be a concern for many buyers. While Asus may think it is adding value for its users, not everyone likes unnecessary software shoved down their throats. The least Asus can do is give the option to uninstall unwanted apps. We all know how Samsung has cut down on its bloatware significantly in recent times. The good thing though is that despite the heavy skinning the responsiveness of the phone isn’t affected thanks to 4GB of RAM.

The Asus Zenfone 2 is not a smartphone you fall in love with at first sight. And yet, it’s one of the best midrange phones around, with remarkable battery life, a great screen, and powerful processors that can do anything you’d ask of your mobile. Between the two versions, I’d recommend the cheaper one—the low cost and huge battery easily make it one of the most interesting devices in the under-$200 price range.

In terms of specs, the Zenfone 2 has a lot to flaunt over its predecessor. The variant we reviewed comes with 4 GB RAM and a powerful processor. Screen resolution has also gone up. However, its 13 megapixel camera doesn't live up to the expectations. As far as the fit and finish go, I prefer the Zenfone 5 over the new phone.

I know people have given Asus a tough time for the bloatware situation on the ZenFone 2, but it shouldn't dismiss the fact that from a performance and daily use standpoint, the phone is an incredible value at $200. The $300 model may be tempting, but consider that the $100 difference is a 50% upsell, and you may not even need the extra RAM or clock speed. The base model is what I would get if I needed a new phone mid-upgrade cycle, or broke my on-contract phone. I don't think it's going to change how Samsung, LG, and Sony price their flagships, but the Asus ZenFone 2 should put into perspective what kind of hardware you can get at a great off-contract price.

As I mentioned earlier, there are two versions of this phone: a $200 variant with 2GB of RAM and a $300 variant with 4GB of RAM. My experience with the 4GB variant was relatively positive—enough that I feel like the ZenFone 2 is worth its $300 price tag right off the lot. It’s an unlocked phone with dual SIMs and a memory expansion slot, in addition to 64GB of storage. It supports a large library of LTE bands around the world, so you’re covered almost anywhere you go with the ZenFone 2 in tow. And you can swap out those back covers and personalize the phone the way you see fit.

As far as mid-range phones go, the Moto G still succeeds for its fantastic front-facing stereo speakers and clean near-stock Android interface, but if you’re looking for something a little more powerful with a slightly better camera, the ZenFone 2 is worth considering.

Even though ASUS isn’t renown with its mobile devices, we are sure that the Taiwanese company is on the right track. ASUS’ flagship smartphone might be missing some key features that are present in today’s top-tier handsets like the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 and etc. However, the hardware, design, the Zen UI, and performance can easily match each and every one of the competitors out there. Practically, you get a smartphone with great battery life, appealing design, good screen quality for a price that matches a typical upper-mid-ranger.

I was extremely impressed with the Zenfone 2 overall, and after a couple of weeks of constant use I find that I could easily make this my daily driver. From the snappy processor to the fantastic touchscreen (with an excellent IPS display panel under it), it's a pleasure to use. The phone looks good with its understated style, and the ASUS ZenUI elements were pretty unobtrusive and added some nice functionality. The camera is only average, though it has a very effective low-light option that made a considerable difference in real-world use.

The ZenFone 2 isn't as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S6 nor the HTC One M9, but it's also half as expensive. When you consider the value proposition (or bang for your buck, as it were), it's hard to really knock Asus' latest. While it occasionally falls a little short on the benchmarking front, we're reaching an time where scores matter a little less, and real-world experience matters a lot more.

If you're in the market for a new phone, you've got a data plan with AT&T, T-Mobile USA, or any other GSM-based network, and you're upgrading from a phone that's a couple years old or older, the ASUS ZenFone 2 is a SOLID choice. Especially at this price range - anywhere from $199 to $299 for a device that's unlocked and ready to roll - that's a real rarity in today's smartphone market.

Asus is smart for attacking the entry-level segment of the market, as opposed to breaking into the high-end, which means tangling against some of the juggernauts floating about right now. Spending an intimate amount of time with the Zenfone 2, we’re confident that this is the kind of phone that grows on you over time. Initially, the design didn’t particularly win us over, but the more we use the phone and absorb all of its rich features, that’s when we truly realize its potential.

But of all those, the ZenFone 2 is definitely the most audacious. For one of the first-ever 4GB smartphones to also hit store shelves with one of the lowest price tags is almost revolutionary. What’s more, the amped-up specs actually make it a more enjoyable phone to use. This device packs responsiveness, customizability, and tons of features into an absurdly potent hardware package, and it throws in a pretty good camera to boot. For a power-hungry pragmatist on a budget, you’d be hard pressed to find a better option than the ASUS ZenFone 2. And in a broader sense, it’ll be interesting to see how other smartphone manufacturers cope with the new reality that products like this are ushering in.

It's quite surprising that Asus is not making efforts to push the 2GB RAM variant of the Zenfone 2. The device, with its new Intel processor, performs better than any other sub-15k smartphone, and though the phone has a few weaknesses, it's without a doubt the best buy below 15k right now as long as you don't mind the generous form factor.

Throughout the course of this review you may have noticed that I often compared the ZenFone 2 to high end smartphones like the Galaxy S6, the iPhone 5s and 6, the LG G3, etc. You may have felt that it was unfair to do so, as those smartphones will cost anywhere between two and four times as much as the ZenFone 2 depending on which model of each device you are comparing.

Asus crammed more RAM into its phone than any company before, and its Intel Atom CPU smokes other midrange unlocked phones like the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 and OnePlus One. Its removable back plate adds both style (with additional colors and designs) and substance (with access to the microSD and dual SIM card slots). I also appreciate some of the software features Asus included, such as ZenUI Launcher, gesture control and PC Link.

The Zenfone 2 is a very nice device for the money, but this causes a bit of problem – what sort of money? Which version should you buy, and in which region? It’s a tricky question and the answer depends on where you live and whether or not you need 4GB of RAM. The Zenfone 2 is still not available in all markets, but if you really want one, you can order it online. Personally, I feel the T3560/4GB model, which the Fudzilla team tested, hits the sweet spot.

It’s all about pricing with the Asus Zenfone 2. For a price-tag of 20k, this phone would be a really good buy. The performance is what you buy this phone for and irrespective of the flaws in the design, it's a minor mistep for an affordable flagship. There's a lot going for the Zenfone 2 and it would make for a good buy. It’s no ordinary Zenfone and while you do compromise a bit on the battery and a lot on the camera, Asus can justify that with the right pricing. If you’re looking for good performance in an affordable smartphone, then this will be one of the phones to go for. If you want a very good camera, then the OnePlus One and Xiaomi Mi4 should take precedence.

The 5.5-inch display is not overly bright, but puts out great colors and the FullHD resolution is still plenty sharp at this diagonal. Battery endurance isn't anything special but the Zenfone 2 still manages two and a half days overall and screen on-times are around the 8-hour mark. That is, if you refrain from using Asus' own browser, which kills the battery in no time.

The Asus Zenfone is technically a mid-range smartphone, but it certainly doesn’t act or feel like one. Things aren’t particularly different or unique in terms of design, and the inspiration from existing devices is obvious, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and the build quality is definitely solid. It’s made of plastic like its predecessors, but the phone doesn’t feel cheap in the hand and is very well put together.

The 5.5-inch display is not overly bright, but puts out great colors and the FullHD resolution is still plenty sharp at this diagonal.

That is, if you refrain from using Asus' own browser, which kills the battery in no time.

There is a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with Asus's PixelMaster technology and a 5-megapixel front camera as well. Due to limitations at the media preview, we were unable to test the camera in optimal lighting conditions. However, images taken with the ZenFone 2 in low light seemed sharp even when zoomed in. We will reserve our judgement on the handset's camera for our full review.

We managed to run some benchmarks on the two flavors of the flagship Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. The more powerful version runs on the Intel Atom Z3580 SoC with a quad-core 2.3GHz processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The lesser model utilizes the Intel Atom Z3560 chip with a quad-core 1.83GHz processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU and 2GB of RAM.

Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL
With selfies being recognized as a trend that is here to stay for a while, Asus has also recognized the importance of easily capturing self-portraits on a mobile device. The Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL is a smartphone designed with two high-quality cameras. Asus has placed emphasis on ergonomics with an arc design to enable easy gripping and the installation of a rear button certainly helps with operating the front-facing camera. There are 3 colours to choose from; pure white, chic pink or aqua blue. The Android 5.0 Lollipop device comes with a 5 inch Full HD display panel with Corning Glass protecting the beautiful screen. On-board is an octa core processor in the form of 2 Cortex-A53 quad-core processors, either 2 GB or 3 GB RAM, and 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage. The main drawing point of the Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL is the front and rear cameras, featuring a 13 MP auto focus PixelMaster sensor each. Other features on the device are Bluetooth 4.0, microSD support, dual-SIM support and A-GPS. The 170 g Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL comes with a 3000 mAh Li-Polymer battery, which should satisfy the most hard-core selfie-centric user.Specifications

Two cameras. Selfies are more popular than ever, which is why Asus now sells a matching smartphone. The ZenFone Selfie is equipped with two 13 MP cameras, so is it the perfect smartphone for self-portraits?

The Asus Zenfone Selfie isn't too quiet about what it tries to be - a smartphone for taking photos of yourself. With 13 megapixels front and back it sure has nailed the numbers game and the dual-tone dual-LED flash makes it a one-of-a-kind offering. OK, second of its kind, but still a rare breed.

Judging from the information, which we’ve gathered so far, we can say that we’re impressed by the performance of both 13MP cameras and the quality of the sample shots. Their menus are full of settings and shooting modes, so you can spend a lot of time playing with them. As we expected, ZenUI offered a lot of features, modes and pre-installed applications, which might not be considered as a plus by some users. We also liked the performance of the SoC – not as much in the computing and graphic tests, but rather in the temperatures test. It would’ve been nice if the device had more durable battery, since the result in our web browsing test wasn’t that high, but on the other hand, on the video playback test the device scored 12 hours – a rather impressive score.

The Asus ZenFone Selfie is a (relatively) inexpensive, reliable smartphone with respectable performance and decent software. It doesn't quite deliver a premium experience, but it comes close enough without putting too much of a burden on your bank account. It also looks and feels good, and Asus has enough brand recognition now to make it a force in the market.

The Asus Zenfone Selfie takes good selfies indeed. However, with the powerful front camera, we expected even better. There is still a slight hint of pixelation in slightly dimmed fluorescent light conditions, although it does do a much better job than most other phones out there. Performance is smooth, and except for its large dimensions and the small volume keys placed at the back, there is no real ‘bad’ thing about it. At Rs. 15,999, it falls in near range of the Xiaomi Mi 4, the ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini and the Coolpad Dazen, all of which have a better form factor, along with similar performance and good camera performance. You may go for it, if you want a Zenfone with brilliant cameras on both ends. If ergonomics take the front seat, the others reasonably make more sense than the Asus Zenfone Selfie.

When ASUS released the ZenFone 2 Laser, the company’s goal was to offer a premium smartphone experience with strong camera performance at an affordable price. Overall, we feel ASUS did an excellent job at finding a good balance of price, performance, and features with the ZenFone 2 Laser. The phone has a lot to offer, particularly at its budget-friendly price point.

Saturation seems to be the tactic that Asus believes will get them to reach new heights, but it’s almost maddening at the same time because the Zenfone 2 Laser offers very little distinction over the original model. Yes, its starting price point of $199 outright makes for an attractive prospect for consumers who are pinched. However, we can’t fully commit to recommending this over the original model solely due to its faster laser auto-focusing tech. That’s an incentive for sure, but at the same time, there’s no substantial improvement to its overall quality. Additionally, there are other areas where the Zenfone 2 Laser lags behind its sibling. Taking into consideration that the hardware here is by and large similar, save for the chipset, we’d think that it would receive more of a discount at this point. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, so you might be better off picking up the original model – more so when it can be fetched at a discount nowadays.

The ZenFone 2 Laser is, in mostly every way, the same as the ZenFone 2. The differences lie under the hood, which translates into a slight drop in performance, and in features, the most notable of which is laser-assisted auto focus. The price starts at $199 USD, putting it in the sweet-spot budget range for many. As with the ZenFone 2, if you're on a compatible network and you're upgrading from an older or lower-tier device, you'll be very happy with the ZenFone 2 Laser.

Buying a smartphone for less than $250 can feel like shopping the clearance section. Most of the items available are hideous or hideously outdated, but once in a while, you come across a gem. The Asus ZenFone 2 series, starting at $199, is a great bargain, packing a good display in a sturdy frame. Camera lovers will appreciate the ZenFone 2 Laser's sharp, colorful image quality and fun customization features, and the microSD card slot will come in handy for storing all those pictures and videos.

If you're willing to spend a little more, there is even the option of the Snapdragon 615-powered ZenFone 2 Laser, which comes with 3GB RAM and is expected to offer better performance on paper, though we haven't had a chance to test it yet. However, at under Rs. 10,000, the Asus ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE550KL) with 2GB RAM is probably the best closed-environment camera performance on a budget smartphone, and it's worth checking out if you're a photography enthusiast.

Powered by Intel. The Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe is pretty well-equipped: Intel quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, dual-SIM and PixelMaster camera. Has the manufacturer created a convincing overall package?

Putting aside comparisons with the ZenFone 2, the Deluxe is a decent looking smartphone with good performance. Unfortunately, we aren't thrilled with the camera, and the user interface continues to be chock full of bloatware which is a serious blemish on an otherwise efficient system. For the similar pricing, devices such as the Honor 7 and OnePlus 2 offer a more rounded experience, with similar levels of performance, better features, better cameras and significantly better battery life. While the original ZenFone was a decent option at the time of its launch, the Deluxe feels dated and is outdone today.

Now, ASUS launches this new device, the ZenFone 2, which is very superior to its predecessor, not even being a replacement or a competitor in market. While the ZenFone 5 is a mainstream smartphone, the ZenFone 2 is close, in terms of hardware, to the top shelf smartphones on the market, with a lower cost.

So the Zenfone 2 Deluxe is an update of Asus' flagship phone only in looks but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It succesfully manages to make a plastic design feel a little more desirable without coming across as cheap and tacky. Along with an impressive specs list that's sill in tact and pricing that starts from around £230, this is an Android phone that's set up to punch well above its weight.

Before I started using the ZenFone Zoom, I was hesitant: Isn't its single standout feature just a big gimmick? The answer is a pretty resounding no. ASUS has put together a pretty impressive bit of zooming machinery here; it was the sensor itself I should have been more concerned about.

If optical zoom in a smartphone appeals to you, your options are limited. At that, the Asus ZenFone Zoom is currently your best bet. There are a few more reasons to enjoy this souped-up camera phone, but with it, also come some frustrating design choices that get in the way of a breezy user experience.

Despite all this though, the aperture isn't wide enough and the indoor images in low light don't come out in as high quality as those from the Galaxy flagships or the iPhone. Yes, maybe about three fourths as good and that's about what the price of the Zenfone Zoom is at Rs.37,999, which somehow still feels a bit much.

There’s a market for every device, but the ZenFone Zoom is a niche of a niche. The consumer here needs to care enough about photo features to value the zoom, but isn’t as discerning when it comes to photo and video output. Otherwise, there are a number of devices around this price point which can outperform the ZenFone, or cheaper devices that can hang with it.

There's clearly demand for smartphones with outstanding image quality. Ask any average owner if they'd stick with their current phone should the camera stop working, and you'll find that most would not. The camera is arguably as essential as making calls for most smartphone users, and the ZenFone Zoom seeks to give the camera some special treatment and tangible benefits.

Still then, in terms of ease of use and clarity of the camera Asus needs to work on the Auto mode to help it deliver better images; something that can be resolved in future software updates. Let’s face it, not every one likes tinkering around with the manual modes. Coming to the competition, there is plenty and yes, they do a better job.

At $399, the ZenFone Zoom doesn't offer a big performance boost over the ZenFone 2 or the ZenFone Laser, and it's a good deal more expensive. For the same price, you can pick up Moto X Pure or the Nexus 6P, both of which offer sharper displays, 4K video capture, and the latest Android software. And if you simply want the best camera on an Android phone, you can opt for the Panasonic CM1 (now selling at a steep discount) or the LG V10. And if you're looking to save some money, both the ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Laser remain solid options, albeit without the optical zoom.

It's a very innovative idea, no doubt, but we feel that having a larger sensor capable of producing better image quality is a better substitute, as you can simply crop and enlarge the image with little loss in quality. The ZenFone Zoom is not Asus's current flagship; it seems to be more of a one-off attempt to inject something fresh into the company's lineup before the next generation arrives.

Asus established itself as a formidable competitor in the mid-range segment with the introduction and release of its ZenFone 2 last year. Since that time, they've diversified its ZenFone line with an assortment of variants – including this latest one in the ZenFone Zoom. Despite the camera-centric approach, the phone feels a bit underwhelming at the end of the day, partially because it is launching a whole year after its announcement.

So – the Zenfone Zoom is big, heavy, bulky and bloated with applications. And its LTE may not suit everyone. But despite all this, it’s capacious, powerful and it does have a USP, a Unique Selling Point, that lifts it from the Android mainstream. If, like me, your phone has to be your always-with-you-camera and if you find yourself wanting to add zoom into many daily shots, to get up ‘closer’ with your subjects, then this is definitely worth considering, warts and all.

The Asus Zenfone Zoom may have an optical zoom camera, but the image quality isn't worth Rs. 37,999. It's basically a Zenfone 2 with optical zoom, which doesn't make sense at this price range.

Asus ZenFone Max ZC550KL
It is apparent that Asus has capitalized a lot on its battery juice with the Zenfone 3 Max. Asus claims that its battery provides power to users through the day without recharge. Its high-capacity 4100 mAh cell is capable of standby of up to 30 days. Not only that, the battery is also capable of reverse charging, which means that the Zenfone 3 Max doubles up as a power bank to charge other digital devices such as other smartphones, and tablets. The Zenfone 3 Max is no less impressive design-wise. Just like the other versions of the ZenFone 3, it is built of a premium looking aluminum unibody frame with curves on its rear cover that feel comfortable to the grip. In addition, the display bezel is slim at 2.25 mm. The dimensions of the Zenfone 3 Max measure at 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.55 mm and it weighs 148 g. It is equipped with a 5.2-inch touchscreen display (screen-to-body ratio: 75%) with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. While the low display resolution is quite disappointing, it makes for a longer battery life. The Zenfone 3 Max is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Thanks to a MicroSD slot, the storage capacity can be expanded by up to 32 GB (which arguable lies on the lower side). As a bonus, 100 GB free space on Google Drive is provided to users for two years. The phone features a 13 MP front camera capable of shooting Full-HD videos and a 5 MP rear camera. The PixelMaster 3.0 camera is capable of various modes such as backlight (HDR), low light, real time beautification, night, selfie, and time lapse. The fingerprint sensor can be used for unlocking purposes and ID recognition, thus improving security and convenience. The Zenfone 3 Max is able to support up to two SIMs. Both SIM card slots support 3G WCDMA/4G LTE network band, but only one SIM card can connect to 3G WCDMA/4G LTE service at a time. In addition, the phone features an FM radio receiver. Its speaker is ICEpower enhanced and the dual microphone is fitted with noise cancellation for improved clarity. However, the real life tests aren’t that impressive. The device runs on Android 6.0 with ASUS ZenUI 3.0 and there is no news on any upgrades to the newer Android 7.0. Choices of colors available are titanium gray, glacier silver, sand gold, and rose gold. The ZenFone 3 Max will surely appeal to the average smartphone users. It is priced competitively and looks great. However, for users who are looking more into media or even performance, there are many other choices out there, but these will most probably not offer such a long battery life as the ZenFone 3 Max.

Long, longer, ZenFone Max. Asus launches a smartphone on the market that follows one goal: The ZenFone Max is to achieve ultimate battery life. This begins with the hardware in the form of a strong 5000 mAh battery and ends with energy-saving software solutions. Read in our report whether the mid-range handset by Asus manages to oust the present reference in our battery test.

Overall, it's a decent and respectable phone, but it's also in competition with the more modern entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi. At just S$299, the Redmi Note 3 is worthy of your consideration as it boasts a higher resolution display, smoother performance, a fast fingerprint sensor and a more premium design for only a little more than what the ZenFone Max commands. But you won't get a phone that lasts anywhere near the ZenFone Max, which is clearly the ultimate in battery life performance.

The Zenfone Max improves over its predecessor with a slightly better SOC and options to choose an extra gig of RAM. It still offers the stellar battery life that it stood for but what Asus fails to understand is that it’s 2016 and consumer expectations are skyrocketing! At the price, it competes with phones that perform much better and offer similar battery life. Let’s hope the next iteration is well thought of.

As you may have guessed by now, the only feature that we did like about the new Asus Zenfone Max was its battery. We also understand that no other smartphone offers a 5000mAh battery in this segment. So we think that the big battery is the only reason one should go in for it. If battery life is your priority and all you do is make calls, send WhatsApp messages and shoot emails this could be your smartphone.

The Asus Zenfone Max doesn't make a promise it can't keep. It's a true endurance champ, thanks to a massive 5,000mAh battery and longevity-driven design and hardware choices. The Snapdragon 410 chipset is one such compromise and perhaps the spot on the Max's spec sheet that's decidedly below par. Yet, it may very well be thanks to it that the Zenfone Max scored a 121-hour endurance rating, with some 20 hours of web browsing, and close to 16 hours of video playback. Qualcomm's lower midranger may not be quick, but it sure is frugal.

The Asus ZenFone Max (2016) is certainly a decent attempt by the company to capitalise on one of its best-selling recent products and infuse new life into it considering the competitors that have launched since January. The phone delivers improved performance to make it a little more capable, while continuing to offer excellent battery life and a good camera. Although battery life isn't up to the same stellar levels as the original, it's still more than enough to set the phone apart.

Now that it's fairly certain phone companies haven't come up with a miracle battery for cellphones, the next best thing is to figure out putting in as large a battery into a mobile as possible without increasing the overall dimensions and weight too much. That's exactly what several companies have started toying with. First the Chinese Gionee, with its Marathon M5, then Lenovo Vibe P1, and now the Asus Zenfone Max.

The design is another highlight of Zenfone 3 ZE552KL, it's put together like an expensive phone. An oleophobic coating over both glass panes would have helped avoid most of the smudging (and there's a lot of it). The chipset was a safe but boring choice, it offers just enough speed without topping the charts.

ZenMotion offers a variety of customisable touch- and motion gestures as well as One Hand Mode, which shrinks the display to a more manageable size. There are also Power management, Memory and Asus Customised settings menus, plus Themes, a separate menu for screenshot settings, and even two update offerings - system updates and ZenUI updates.

The Zenfone 3 is far from a flawless device — it looks outdated and bland, it’s got a skin filled with bloatware and its performance is nothing to write home about. However, in the areas where it excels, it truly makes its mark. The device’s camera has created a new benchmark for quality in my mind that, quite frankly, extends past mid-range devices to contend with many top-tier devices on the market today. It also has two-day battery life, something not many smartphones anywhere on the price spectrum can brag.

All things considered, the Zenfone3 isn't a bad phone. However, the Lenovo ZuK Z1 comes across as a much better handset, which is significantly cheaper. Moreover, you can get the much better Xiaomi Mi 5 for he same price.

All things considered, the Zenfone3 isn't a bad phone. However, the Lenovo ZuK Z1 comes across as a much better handset, which is significantly cheaper. Moreover, you can get the much better Xiaomi Mi 5 for he same price.

Asus Zenfone 3 can perform quite well to use Snapdragon 625 processor, although someone thinks it’s not enough, you may not be happy with the back design, but the rectangular fingerprint scanner makes you surprise. Although the auto mode is not perfect to take pictures, the manual mode can be a good solution. Right now you can enjoy coupon code ZenFonGB to catch it at $348.99 for three colors.

Asus manages to maintain its recognised appeal consistently with premium built from high to low-end devices and “straight to business” zeal when you unbox it. The ZenFone 3 feels refreshed for sure as compared to other similar looking mid segment phones. Moreover, it sports an all-new design which is different from its predecessors, as well as impressive innards. The entire charm lies with the front and back coated with glass. The feel and touch of the phone at the first glance, itself will have you admiring.

The Zenfone 3 (3GB RAM) model is an all-rounder for sure and it doesn't have much loopholes to complaint. Asus should also be congratulated for moving away from its older curvy and plastic design. But those who are not confident of handling a glassy device or do not like complex interfaces, should stay away from this.

Final Verdict Asus Zenfone 3 has been given a big design makeover and makes a late but slipping entry to the list of phones that use glass and metal for a beautiful look. But it does look like a fine device – shiny, glossy and premium, it looks everything. Only, in process, it becomes a slippery device to use. I would surely like my phone to be smooth in feel, but not a wet round soap. Asus Zenfone 3 has also gotten a great deal smoother on the inside too but the ZenUI is still a crowded space like it used to be and a lot needs to be done to make the smoother looker cleaner and leaner.

Which brings us to the crux of all this analysis – is the ZenFone 3 worth investing in? Our answer is simple: not if you are a benchmark junkie, but if you seek a good-looking compact device with great sound, a good display and good battery life, this has got to be one of the better options out there at its price point. This is perhaps the first ZenFone that is flauntable as well as functional.

The biggest strength of the old ZenFones was that they were very affordable and very reliable devices — you get a lot of smartphone for your money. The ZenFone 3, on the other hand, comes with a hefty RM1,699 price tag. Sure, you are getting an arguably better phone made from better materials, but if you’re spending this much money on a device, it needs to go beyond being just reliable and good. It also needs to make you feel special. And that’s something the ZenFone 3 just doesn’t do.

The ZenFone 3 is a strong showing from Asus and a good showcase of what the company is capable of when it puts all its effort behind a product. The funny thing is it isn't even the company's flagship device, and we are very much interested in what the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is capable of if the ZenFone 3 is so good.

Asus’ Zenfone 3 stands tall with its premium looks and great display, but with the boring old software and anaemic hardware, it’s hard to recommend it over the OnePlus 3 that is priced exactly the same and comes with plenty more. Go for the 5.5-inch Zenfone 3 if you prefer premium looks over raw power!

Overall, the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL is an awesome first step upwards to the upper midrange price range, featuring flagship level design and near flagship-level hardware and tech specs. Granted, the price tag of RM1699 is a lot higher than previous ASUS ZenFones but for what it has packed in, both in terms of design and hardware, the ZenFone 3 is offering a lot more than what it is worth. This includes a 4GB RAM / 64GB storage smartphone with 4K video recording for well below RM2K, something that you usually don't see with great design included. At the time of writing this review, prices have dropped to RM1449 (RM1279 this Merdeka) so there isn’t much discrepancy between overseas prices and Malaysian prices now.

The Zenfone 3 3GB / 32GB is priced at Rs. 21,999 and the 4GB / 64GB is priced at Rs. 27,999. The 4GB version price wise is competing with the OnePlus 3. If you compare OnePlus 3 and Zenfone 3 both the handsets are powerful, can shoot/play 4K, excellent camera and can play high end games, but technically OnePlus 3 is much more powerful (benchmark wise).

Any smartphone’s five basic pillars include design and display, performance, battery life, camera and software. Asus Zenfone 3 does well in three of those department while it’s camera is a passable one. It’s UI is something which may not appeal to everyone, especially if you have used a stock Android or Moto product.

A less flattering comparison with the Korean giant is the fact that like it, Asus too seems to be in a “release a slew of devices” mode. The launch of the ZenFone 3 saw a number of devices being released, leading to a confusion that is alas, rapidly becoming a given with some brands. Only two phones, however, came with the ZenFone 3 branding with no additional words (ultra, laser, deluxe, etc.). This was the ZenFone 3 with a 5.2-inch display, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage,

The device's greatest competitors are the OnePlus 3 and the Xiaomi Mi 5 as they both sport the Snapdragon 820 processor, full HD displays, and one of them even has 6GB RAM.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is an excellent all-round successor to the ZenFone 2 series. It has a highly attractive physical design for its price point, and it runs well for a sub S$500 smartphone. We also liked it because of how much the ZenFone has progressed over time and we usually don't expect smartphones of this class to get everything right, while looking good at the same time. The ZenFone 3 offers decent camera quality, functional processing power, and a clean enough UI, finished off with mindful consideration for its handling and looks. Without a doubt, it's a good all-rounder and a great mid-range phone for just S$498 (or S$398 if you opt for the smaller display size).

This year, Asus expanded the availability of the ZenFone 3 series, which means consumers should be able to easily get their hands on the new range. With the lowest pricing at Rs. 18,999, the ZenFone 3 range has definitely tried to shed the budget tag from its handsets but it will be interesting to see how well the phones do in the Indian market.

After all that’s said and done, ASUS’ upcoming Zenfone 3 is one of the best phones they’ve ever produced. It’s easy to make a great looking, great performing phone, but to make one with a price tag that’s under 20K – that’s the real challenge. While ASUS hasn’t released pricing for the Zenfone 3 yet, IF they follow international pricing then there’s a lot of value to be had for the phone (it’s expected to retail at right around 16K-17K for the larger 5.5-inch variant) despite its higher street price compared to last year’s model.

Just when we thought ASUS came to their senses regarding pre-installed software (AKA bloatware), they’ve managed to pre-load the Zenfone 3 with all manner of useless junk that most of us would probably uninstall. This is probably the worst part of the Zenfone experience, and while the phone’s hardware is more than enough to ensure the phone powers through all of the RAM-eating software that comes with it, we really hoped that they would calm down already when it came to bloatware.

Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG
Simplistic in design with great functionality, the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG is a budget orientated smartphone that will satisfy the requirements of many users. At first glance, the device looks close to premium with a build quality to match while the matte textured and rounded rear side allows for a good grip. There are five colors to choose from; black, white, blue, red, and gold. The Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG weighs in at 135 g with its removable Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 2070 mAh, which provides decent battery life, mostly due to the moderate power consumption of the hardware. Display on the device is a 5.0 inch IPS LCD touchscreen with HD resolution. Colors and clarity are decent with the 294 ppi pixel density display. Asus has not disclosed what glass type is used to protect the screen. Therefore, users should be extra careful when handling the device. A simple screen protector could add a small level of protection against unwanted scratches. Audio quality on the device is pretty good despite a mono speaker positioned at the rear. However, since it is at the back of the device, it is possible to cover it when placed on a table. The Android 5.1 Lollipop system comes with a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz paired with a Mali-400MP2 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and either 8 GB or 16 GB internal storage depending on the variant. This hardware combination makes using the device a joy as it can run most current applications with ease. To sweeten the deal, Asus has thrown in dual SIM capability and a microSD card slot to expand the storage capacity by up to 64 GB. At the rear of the device is a decent 8 MP autofocus camera with f/2.0 aperture for low light shooting and there is a rather low 2 MP front camera for selfies. Both of the cameras take decent photos and are good for a low-end smartphone. Other features found on the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG are Bluetooth 4.0, an FM radio module, A-GPS, and micro USB connectivity with USB OTG technology enabling users to connect thumbdrives and even external hard drives for data access. There have been complaints by users from the web that the GPS module encounters hiccups from time to time, but hopefully this is merely a software issue which can be fixed with a patch and not a design flaw. Users can opt for more premium protection with the View Flip Case, which allows important information to be displayed through the circular cut-out. In summary, the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG is a solid performing, and wallet friendly smartphone. Depending on your liking of the Asus ZenUI skin, it could be a no-brainer option.Specifications

ASUS ZenFone Go (ZC500TG) met our expectations as one of the best budget smartphones on the market. In taking a closer look at its capabilities, we discovered some drawbacks such as the not so durable battery (especially for video playback). The mobile CPU ensures reasonable performance but the exterior temperatures we measured are slightly higher than the generally accepted, and yet acceptable.

Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL
The Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL is designed and targeted towards those people who are seeking for something in the premium market segment that is affordable and is fully packed with many features. The case of the smartphone is made with fine quality aerospace-grade alloy that is milled to precision with 0.14 mm diamond-cutting technology. As a result, the smartphone looks premium, sleek and has a well-built craftsmanship. Moreover, Asus claimed the smartphone to be the world’s first full metal body smartphone that has an invisible antenna design which is actually somewhat true. The smartphone comes pre-installed with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with ASUS ZenUI 3.0 user interface. There are two different configurations for users to choose from in terms of processor, a 2.1 GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Quad-Core Snapdragon 820 processor or a higher clocked 2.4 GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Quad-Core Snapdragon 821 processor. Both of these processors come with the Adreno 530 GPU. However, it is suspected that the variant with Snapdragon 820 processor will be phased out soon. The Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL has 6 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and there is a choice of either 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB for internal storage. The storage capacity can be expanded by up to 2 TB using the MicroSD slot. But, that being said, the current portable memory market only offers MicroSD cards with up to 256 GB. The high-quality list of hardware ranks the smartphone in the flagship category and it is the intention of Asus to use the smartphone to compete against other brands in the high-end market segment. It sports a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 (Super Anti Scratch). The display has additional features such as Tru2life technology, Bluelight Filter for Eye Care, 10-finger capacitive touch screen, oleophobic coating that is resistant towards fingerprints and smudge, 60 ms touch response time for giving the user smooth gaming experience and support of glove touch. It has 23 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and 6P Largan Lens with features such as Auto Focus, 0.03 seconds auto laser focus, 32 seconds long exposure, and 4-axis optical image stabilization for producing steady photos. There are two LEDs for a real tone flash and the PixelMaster Camera Modes help really well in low lighting situations. On the front, there is a 8 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and 85 degrees wide-viewing angle. The smartphone also comes with all of the standard features found in all smartphones these days like accelerometer, e-compass, gyroscope, hall sensor, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, RGB sensor, IR sensor, and fingerprint reader. However, it lacks an FM Radio, Java capability, a barometer and a temperature sensor. Therefore users might have to purchase additional products if they would like to use those missing features. The ZenFone 3 Deluxe is available in three different colors; Shimmer Gold, Glacier Silver and Titanium Grey. It has a 3000 mAh non-removable battery with BoostMaster Fast Charging, which allows the user to charge the phone to 60% in 40 minutes and Quick Charge 3.0. With all of these features, one might expect the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL to be priced in the flagship category, but it isn’t. It is only slightly more expensive than many phones in the mid range segment. Hands on by: Jagadis RajaSpecifications

Late luxury. Asus' latest ZenFone 3 Deluxe flagship smartphone will also be available on the European market soon. With Qualcomm's current premium SoC, a high-resolution 23-megapixel camera, and a large 5.7-inch AMOLED panel, the handset features some technological highlights. But how will it fare in the test compared with other equally first-rate competitors?

We do not have any second thoughts about the phone being a beast when it comes to the spec sheet and its performance. But what we think is going to hit Asus the hardest in the case of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe is the price of the smartphone. Asus has priced Zenfone 3 Deluxe at Rs. 62,999 which is more than the double of what OnePlus is charging for OnePlus 3T which offers a similar processor. In fact, we did not really see a humongous difference between the performance of the Deluxe and Lenovo Z2 Plus and the latter just costs Rs. 15,000. Yes, the Zenfone 3 Deluxe is a Hulk in terms of performance and that 256 GB of onboard storage is a massive plus, but its Hulk-like price is likely to make consumers hesitate from investing in it, especially when you consider the level of competition around it.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe isn't a terrible phone, but it's extremely hard to recommend over its competitors. While its specs are decent, its software and camera drag it down. The price is also a problem; it is lower than most flagships' from larger companies, but other phones offer justification for their higher prices in the form of useful features. I would honestly hesitate to recommend this phone even if its MSRP were $100 lower, thanks to the existence of phones like the ZTE Axon 7 and the heavily-mentioned OnePlus 3T.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is an ambitious phone, but it doesn't quite deliver everything you expect at this price point. We liked the antenna-less rear design, but weren't too keen on the oblong-shape fingerprint scanner, and the rest of the design is quite derivative without any fresh elements that we haven't seen before.

This special edition ZenFone 3 Deluxe is priced at Rs. 62,999, which makes it a good flagship contender. It’s also the only Android option to offer this much onboard storage plus the ability to expand it further. With streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video now supporting offline viewing, it doesn’t hurt to have more storage.

At the end of it all Asus’s first flagship offering falls short of the competition. While the top-of-the-line specifications look great on paper, it’s the software experience that is either lacking, or gets in your way. I noticed how the software felt unnecessarily bloated. It seems to have taken away what should have been a buttery smooth software user experience. The same software showed its ugly face once again in the camera section where over processing leads to some flat-looking images. Asus really needs to take a complete u-turn when it comes to software keeping in mind where it’s headed (the premium segment).

With the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, Asus has devised a full-fledged plan to enter the premium market, something we never would've thought until few months back. Although the Taiwanese tech company is taking baby steps in this particular segment, it has managed to bring a worthy smartphone. Those who loved the Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL but are not willing to spend Rs 62,999, can buy the ZS550KL model with Rs 49,999. The lower-priced model comes with less powerful cameras, SoC and few other changes.

Asus may consider its ZenFone 3 Deluxe as a contender to the iPhone 7 Plus, Galaxy S7 Edge and Pixel XL. Unfortunately, despite Asus’ best efforts to make the ZenFone 3 Deluxe the king of the smartphone market, I doubt someone would be ready to pay Rs 62,999. That’s a high price to pay for this phone especially since it doesn’t exactly outperform the OnePlus 3T, which sells for Rs 34,999 for the 128GB variant and even packs a Snapdragon 821 processor and 6GB RAM. Yes, the standard has been raised too high.

Asus has improved a lot with this generation of Zenfone devices. The Zenfone 3 Deluxe in particular represents their foray into the flagship segment and truth be told, it is a pretty good attempt too. Unfortunately the competition is way too far ahead and without any defining feature, it is rather hard to recommend the Zenfone 3 Deluxe.

Despite what other people may think, the ZF3 Deluxe is a relatively good smartphone offering from ASUS. We like the overall design of the phone, as minimalist as it is, and despite its flaws (which can be addressed by software patches down the line), it’s been a great daily driver for us the past few weeks we’ve been using it.

Despite what other people may think, the ZF3 Deluxe is a relatively good smartphone offering from ASUS. We like the overall design of the phone, as minimalist as it is, and despite its flaws (which can be addressed by software patches down the line), it’s been a great daily driver for us the past few weeks we’ve been using it.

The ZenFone 3 Deluxe features a beautiful design, a great looking display, and comes with a ton of features, but so do a lot of other smartphones, and the Deluxe just falls short in too many key areas to make it really stand out from the crowd.

With phones like the Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Moto Z, and the iPhone 7 lurking just around the corner, this isn’t the flagship phone you should be spending 50k on. Both the Moto Z and OnePlus 3 make better, and cheaper options, while the iPhone and Pixel are better choices for those who can afford them.

Overall, the 5.7” ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a strong product, that compares well to other flagship smartphones in its class. There are other smartphones in this class with a few more features, but if you dig the ZenFone 3 Deluxe’s design and are shopping for an unlocked smartphone, we think you’ll be happy with its performance, battery life, camera, build and design quality.

Asus knows how to make over-the-top smartphones — with 6GB RAM and 256GB storage, it even beats most ultrabooks out in the market. That does not even count the Snapdragon 821 variant they have lined-up. When they held back, they did so sensibly — just like with the option for 1080p display to conserve battery life.

Those who are willing to spend another $270 should purchase a Google Pixel XL, which has one of the best cameras on the market and lasts 3 hours longer on a charge. If you want an unlocked device with a strong sense of style, plenty of performance and great selfie capabilities, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a good choice, but the camera could be better.

The ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a gorgeous phone with an eye-poppingly vibrant display and a UI to match. It's $500 price seems like a bargain when you compare this phone to similarly sized flagships that go for hundreds more, but budget-conscious users may prefer the $399 OnePlus 3, which has nearly identical performance, storage and screen quality.

Despite missing a premium software feel, the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe pretty nails most of our checklist as a flagship phone. And with an attractive pricing at P34,995 pesos or about $700 USD and with chart-topping performance, this makes the Deluxe more compelling flagship Android phone to buy. Although we’d still wish Asus should had fixed some of the software glitches before they’ve released it. Nonetheless, we’re really glad to see more takes from Asus on what’s a premium phone should be.

According to comparison between Xiaomi MI5S Plus and Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe., we know Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe has some advantages in design, craftsmanship, performance and camera, but Xiaomi MI5S Plus also has its own merits such as battery and price. If you are looking for a cheaper RAM 6GB Snapdragon 821 smartphone, Xiaomi MI5S Plus is a good choice, if you don’t mind the price, of course, you can try Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe first.

Asus Zenfone Deluxe has showed us its great ability in camera, performance and design, especially the hidden antenna design. Because Asus has made innovation and solution for better design that iphone can’t solve. Only one thing we may not be very satisfied is the price. According to the official, it will sell at 4,999 yuan, $833, which can be the best rival of Iphone 7 and Samsung Note 7. But right now Asus Zenfone 3 is available at $457.62, you can use coupon code: GB9% to catch it at $416.43.

What remains, though, is the same is 1080p resolution. You won't find a pixel-dense quad HD (aka 2K) panel like the Android rivals that Asus is trying its best to mimic. That new Snapdragon 821 processor sports 4K displays, but this one is far from that spec. I'm okay with Full HD 1080p displays on phones of this size, but the company does appear to be working on an Asus VR headset.

The front 8 MP camera also captures some great shots in daylight. Images captured under low lights tend to blur slightly otherwise is good for selfie needs. Due to its wide angle lens, it can cover a large group of people. The front camera records 1080p videos.

So should you buy it? The ASUS ZenFone 3 is available at ₹21,999. If you don’t run high intensive tasks and games, but want a beautiful looking smartphone with a great camera, it’s a yes. A great advantage for all the ZenFones is they are available in offline stores too. Furthermore, it also bundles earphones while many others don’t. But, if you want to run graphics intensive games and heavy applications that require more CPU power, we would suggest you look at the other similar priced smartphones before you buy ZenFone 3.

If you are in the market for a good all-round device and not really worried about the processor, then ASUS Zenfone 3 is a good buy at 21,999. It offers superior build, good software with decent performance, above average camera and decent battery life.

Its companion Zenfone 3 Deluxe uses a Super AMOLED display. I would certainly tell that if Zenfone 3 used an AMOLED display, the results would even more surprising. And well, it could be gone even better if the battery capacity had been increased to 3000 mAh at least. Nevertheless, Zenfone 3 battery life is much satisfying as compared to other smartphones offering a 3000 mAh battery.

If we talk about the pricing, Zenfone 3 is available at ₹21,999 while the Chinese flagships such as Xiaomi Mi 5 and LeEco Le Max 2 are very close competitors offering more performance and features with similar price. Having said that specifications is not the only thing to see while seeing the prices, it’s the overall experience with the device that matters at the end.

At Rs. 27,999, the Asus Zenfone 3 is not the best smartphone to buy for those looking for a whole package. You can consider this smartphone for its battery, and even the camera is above average, but as a complete smartphone, the Zenfone 3 is well behind the OnePlus 3 and LeEco Le Max 2.

Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL
Asus has just introduced the new Zenfone 3 Max, which focuses on delivering best possible battery life without making too many compromises. The result was a decent package that balances performance and price well enough, while still delivering its key objective. The phone is encased in a 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.6 mm sand-blasted aluminium alloy body, and weighs about 148 g. With a thin 2.25 mm bezel and 75% screen-to-body ratio, it allows for more display and less bulk. Its 5.2-inch IPS touchscreen is covered by 2.5D protective glass with oleophobic coating, so fingerprints will not be an issue. The screen has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, 16M colors and a brightness of 400 nits for easy viewing under direct sunlight. The Zenfone 3 Max runs on Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow with ZenUI 3.0 out of the box. The ZC520TL variant is powered by a quad-core Mediatek MT6737M SoC clocked at 1.45 GHz. This variant comes with the option of either 16 GB storage with 2 GB RAM or 32 GB storage with 3 GB RAM, but both have a microSD card slot which allows adding up to 358 GB. But the crowning jewel of the Zenfone 3 Max is its considerably large 4100 mAh battery. The phone’s ZenUI 3.0 brings super saving modes, which allows the phone to squeeze out more juice from its battery. The super saving modes are pre-configured to maximize every last milliamp, and, when enabled, can extend ZenFone 3 Max’s standby time by 36 hours – even when it’s as low as 10%. The Zenfone 3 Max’s ability to perform reverse-charging is what truly sets it apart from other devices on the market. Thanks to its large battery capacity, the Zenfone 3 Max can double up as a power bank to charge other digital devices. The Zenfone 3 Max has a 13 MP primary camera with f/2.2 aperture, autofocus, and LED flash. It can take high-resolution photos with zero shutter lag, and record 1080p videos at 30 fps. It also has a 5 MP secondary front camera with f/2.0 aperture, which shoots sharp selfies and is able to produce clear video chats. It is also notable that in one of the Zenfone Max 3’s PixelMaster modes, i.e. the Super Resolution mode, the device can capture multiple shots simultaneously for a single photograph with stunning 52 MP detail. The other two PixelMaster modes are HDR mode, which can see clearly through daytime shadow, and Low Light mode, which takes clear and bright photos, even in poor lighting conditions. Just below the rear camera is the phone’s fingerprint sensor, which unlocks the phone in 0.3 seconds. Swiping down the fingerprint sensor will summon the selfie camera, and the sensor also acts like a second shutter button, which can be tapped to snap a photo. The Zenfone 3 Max is truly one of a kind. It offers a good design and great battery life for just a fraction of the price. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Long battery life, limited performance. Asus' ZenFone 3 Max aims to impress with its high-capacity battery and satisfy all runtime-junkies. However, they will have to make compromises in other aspects as our test shows.

As we expected, the available 4130mAh battery is Zenfone 3 Max’s key advantage in its battle with the competitive models in this price range. Apart from ensuring high durability, it is also complemented by several battery saving modes which can significantly increase battery life between separate charges. They are part of the feature-rich Zen user interface by ASUS which complements the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS in the best possible way. Additionally, you get an HD display which ensures good enough image detail plus high brightness levels allowing easy use when outdoors.

Bottomline: If you’re looking for a great battery phone but don’t want to carry weight, then this is the right device with good overall performance, but a bit expensive. So, if you are ready to spend 18k then it’s a perfect choice.

If you’re looking to grab a member of the ASUS ZF3 family and have limited funds, then you can’t do any better than the 5.5-inch version of the ZF3 Max. It has many of the same features that both the ZF3 Laser and the smaller ZF3 Max have – big battery, fast performance and insane battery life – at a price that’s hard to beat.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL) is yet another quality smartphone from Asus. Although, it’s already above the Php10k mark making it a bit difficult to suggest among budget consumers who prefers long battery life. At Php10,995, it’s a good balance for what you’re getting and this makes it the second cheapest Zenfone 3 member you can purchase.

People already wants a phone with longer battery life and you are the one, consider it if you like the brand value. There are some alternatives to it like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which also comes to play when it’s a showdown for the battery runtime, but only if you want a phone without a recognized brand and yes, the camera of course. Even though its smaller sized form factor, I like the design, the camera, and its battery life. What I would expect here would be a better CPU at this price range. Overall, the long battery run is a deal breaker. Not to mention it can charge other phones, consider it also as a 4,100 mAh pocket power bank.

The only thing missing now is price – there’s no pricing for the 5.5-inch ZF3 Max in the Philippines yet unfortunately, but if India pricing is anything to go by, it’ll probably retail close to the SRP of the Zenfone 3 Laser. That’s why we think that ASUS may discontinue the ZF3 Laser, since their prices are so close to each other anyway. The 5.5 ZF3 Max having an almost identical feature set with the ZF3 Laser means that the two phones will cannibalize each other in the market if they’re both available.

The screen is visible in direct sunlight and color is rendering is also appropriate. But considering the price there are better options available such as Le eco Le Max 2, One plus 3 and Mi Max Prime.

It has a huge battery capacity of 4100mAh, which is not the highest but good enough to keep the device running for over a full day of use. There are other battery-focussed handsets too in the market but are priced higher.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max as they did. I appreciate the battery life and the build quality at this asking price of Rs 17,999, but that sluggish SoC completely ruins the experience for me. The camera is also lack-lustre. The elephant in the room is, of course, the Redmi Note 3, and that device sells for about Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000 less than the ZenFone 3 Max. It also offers a massive performance bump, a better camera and the same battery life. Why would anyone in their right minds pick a ZenFone 3 Max over the Redmi Note 3, at the current pricing?

Then there's the pricing. The ZenFone 3 Max (ZC553KL) will cost buyers Rs 17,999. That's right. It's mighty expensive and easily forgettable. Especially, when a phone like the Redmi 3S Prime offers so much more (even equally good battery life, at just about Rs 9,000) in actual usage. Not to forget, phones like the Moto G4 Plus and the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note are equally competitive.

ZenFone 3 Max Review: Maximised the battery experience The Zenfone 3 Max comes out as a decent smartphone to keep in your wish list. The battery output and camera performance are impressive. Even the performance will not disappoint.. The only issue that Asus needs to sort out at the earliest in to remove bloatware they need to give users freedom to choose what they want to download.

The ZenFone Max name no longer means you're getting a one-trick pony, as this new model aims to offer a well-rounded solution to aspiring smartphone buyers. This shows in the new aesthetics, improved display and cameras, and of course, solid battery life. It would have made a perfect rival to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3, but Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max in line with higher aspirations. Keep in mind that the ZC520TL variant does fall in the Redmi's price range but it doesn't seem to match up to it, at least on paper. It's also important that you check the model number behind the box carefully as its easy to confuse the two versions.

Even the performance will not disappoint.. The only issue that Asus needs to sort out at the earliest in to remove bloatware they need to give users freedom to choose what they want to download.

The ZenFone Max name no longer means you're getting a one-trick pony, as this new model aims to offer a well-rounded solution to aspiring smartphone buyers. This shows in the new aesthetics, improved display and cameras, and of course, solid battery life. It would have made a perfect rival to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3, but Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max in line with higher aspirations. Keep in mind that the ZC520TL variant does fall in the Redmi's price range but it doesn't seem to match up to it, at least on paper. It's also important that you check the model number behind the box carefully as its easy to confuse the two versions.

The Zenfone 3 Max is quite a decent smartphone and this is something that can be said for the entire Zenfone range. It however lacks a differentiating factor. In fact even within it’s own product lineup, Asus would find it hard to set the Max aside given that phones like the Zenfone 3 Laser too have really good battery life.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max will have a tough time measuring up to its own past model and rivals. For an extra S$50, you get a 1080p display and better battery life with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but the same price will net you the older ZenFone Max that comes with a larger battery capacity and significantly longer battery life - exactly what we expect out of a "Max" class ZenFone product.

The Zenfone 3 Max is more of an update rather than an upgrade for the Max series of the Zenfone. The smaller screen size is the culprit behind the shrunken battery capacity. While it’s still above the standard Android phone battery life, it’s not as impressive as before or even when compared to its Zenfone 3 siblings.

The ZF3 Max is shaping up to be a promising smartphone on its own right – we’re in the middle of the review process of the phone and the review should be out by next week. Stay tuned till then.

While the original Zenfone Max delivered insane battery endurance, it sacrificed everything else to get that legendary battery performance. That’s not the case with the Zenfone 3 Max – while it performs a little worse in the battery department because of the smaller capacity, it’s a better phone in almost every other category. ASUS compromised a little bit on the battery to give users a phone that’s not just a glorified powerbank, and they’ve succeeded.

The Zenfone 3 Max is available to buy now, priced at Php 8,995.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL
The Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is a huge 6.8-inch smartphone built for users who watch a lot of videos. Its massive 4,600 mAh battery can be charged quickly thanks to Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology, which will charge it from flat to 60% in just 45 minutes. It can even charge attached devices such as a power bank with a high current of up to 1.5 A. According to Asus, it’s the first smartphone in the world fitted with a 4K UHD TV-grade video processor, while a 6.8-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display delivers top notch graphics. Looking at the design, the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL features a sleek, diamond-cut all-metal unibody. The chassis of the smartphone is made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and a CNC special crafted metal body protects the ZenFone 3 Ultra. It is infused with the spirit of Zen: the embodiment of luxury, beauty and simplicity. It integrates invisible antennas design with a technology called PureMetal. The ZenFone 3 Ultra tapers to 6.8 mm at its thinnest edge, curving ergonomically for the perfect grip. It is finished with a chamfer all the way around, diamond-cut to mere 0.18 mm width, which is almost as fine as a single strand of human hair. For display, Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL features the ASUS Tru2Life+ technology which has motion-estimation and motion compensation (MEMC) algorithms for smooth, blur-free video that doesn’t judder. It also enables a 95% NTSC color gamut to deliver vibrant colours. Gorilla Glass 4 protects the screen from minor scratches and damages. As for audio, the ZenFone 3 Ultra’s SonicMaster 3.0 technology gives it supreme audio performance for entertainment or calls. Dual five-magnet speakers driven by a powerful NXP Smart AMP, give an expansive, high-volume output. From a simple test with music, the phone’s sound system is remarkable. It provides just enough bass without affecting its clarity. And for calls, SonicMaster 3.0 ensures the very best voice quality in VoLTE (Voice over LTE) calls even in the noisiest environments, with advanced noise cancelling and voice enhancement technologies. The ZenFone 3 Ultra features PixelMaster 3.0, which packs a 23 MP camera, 92 MP Super Resolution technology, large f/2.0-aperture lens and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for any distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds. It utilizes both optical and electronic image stabilization for blur-free shots and videos and a color correction sensor for true color photography. Besides that, it also features real-time HDR that properly shows the resulting HDR photo as framed. All these results in a rather good photo quality but it is still easily beaten by serious contenders such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and iPhone 7 Plus. Another thing to note is the lack of proper manual mode for the camera. The ZenFone 3 Ultra is packed with a 64-bit, Snapdragon 652 processor, which is quite a weird choice for a top-range device, and 4 GB of RAM. The ZenFone 3 Ultra also has 300 Mbps 4G LTE and intuitive fingerprint security that unlocks it in a fraction of a second. In short, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is a serious smartphone with some really cool features. For its price, it does an amazing job. Just don’t expect it to be a flagship killer and you’ll be fine.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is a massive smartphone. The display on the device is bright and vivid; however it has black bezel around it and the screen is not visible in direct sunlight. Carrying the smartphone with you is not as easy as you would think; it doesn’t fit inside the pocket as well. Camera performance is sharp and accurate in daylight conditions only, and not too accurate in low. Battery life is great. So, only if you’re looking for an enormous entertainment product, go for Zenfone 3 Ultra.

The phone is priced at Rs. 49,999 which in my opinion is a bad pricing. You will find much better phones in the price range. But then, people are still buying this phone because it does have something to offer i.e a huge display and Asus has used top quality components to build the phone.

This at first glance looks pretty decent and promise a lot, but as you use it does not stand out in many fronts be it the camera the or the heating problem I faced while playing games, even the big screen might be a dealbreaker for some. all in all, I will suggest there are many other options in this range with the similar screen size that might fulfill all the needs expected from this Phablet or tablet.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is a decent smartphone, but it doesn't make sense at Rs. 49,999. The Xiaomi Mi Max is pretty much as fast and a more colourful screen. The Zenfone 3 Ultra does have a better camera, but it still doesn't belong in the premium range.

It scores heavily on multimedia, battery and design, but the fact is that the biggest stumbling block for the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is likely to be its price of Rs 49,999. That is more than the Samsung Galaxy S7 at the time of writing and well above the likes of the OnePlus 3T, Moto Z Play and the Nubia Z11, all of which can compare favorably with it in terms of specs and performance in most regards. One area where the Ultra holds its own is in its role as a pocket theater, thanks to that display and sound with the battery chipping in to ensure that your videos go on for a while.

The ZenFone 3 Ultra is too big for one. Its sheer size and scale could be a major turn-off for many. Then again, it could have made a lot of sense for someone who is a multimedia junkie who loves to Netflix, or read e-books, or someone simply looking to replace their Android tablet with a full-functional phablet. But, it doesn't. If you're looking for a large phablet, you're better off saving (a lot of) money and buying the Xiaomi Mi Max. The only trade-off perhaps would be the camera, but all in all, the Mi Max is capable of hitting the ZenFone 3 Ultra straight out of the ball park, in every sense of the word.

Calling the Zenfone 3 Ultra, a phone, is a bit of a stretch. For that matter it transcends even the phablet category and is approaching small tablet standards. Marginally smaller than a Nexus 7, it really puts media consumption and battery life first. On those fronts, the phone excels with a very good screen though points could be deducted for it not being a Quad HD panel. The exemplary battery life further aids its claim of being a content consumption device.

If you are one of those who used to walk around with a full tablet to make you calls, then this might seem like a sophisticated upgrade. I am sure there are a lot of users who have genuine use for a smartphone that offers an extra-large screen and this will appeal to them. But I think a lot of buyers might get this for the camera and battery life, choosing to adjust and live with the larger build.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra left us with mixed feelings. While we really like the premium look and feel, the display, fingerprint sensor and software-based tweaks, the large size and occasional heating issues are the downsides.

If you like massive phones and have a lot of money to spend, the ZenFone 3 Ultra will be great to show off. We find that devices of this nature aren’t practical as everyday smartphones, but you might like to have something like this more as a tablet with a SIM card for mobile data and the occasional voice call.

If you are not sold on the large screen phenomenon, then you can look at the OnePlus 3 or the upcoming OnePlus 3T while saving over Rs 15,000 which will get you Xiaomi Mi Max as a backup device. You can add some more cash (if you can stretch your budget) and get Google Pixel or Google Pixel XL, the best Android smartphones out there.

Coming in with an RM2599 price tag and 6.8-inch full HD display, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is just 0.2-inches short of a full 7-inch tablet. Still, ASUS have done a very good job of shrinking the bezels so that it looks like a very large phone instead of a tablet phone. Featuring a flat and thin all metal design, the ZenFone 3 Ultra has "invisible antennas" or no visible antenna bands but is the only ZenFone 3 to put the fingerprint sensor in the home button (also the only one with a physical home button for that matter).

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra is, no doubt, the best phablet ASUS has ever made. A premium phablet, made out of metal and glass. It represents a massive upgrade in features and build quality over its predecessor, the ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE601KL). ASUS is definitely trying to move up the value chain.

If you are part of the target market that Asus is targeting for the Zenfone 3 Ultra, if you are one who wants and needs the size, and the overall immersive entertainment experience then this is finally the phone for you, finally, something Asus got right. Otherwise, if you were to it this phone against other with the same price range at P32,995 ($700US) then perhaps you should look elsewhere as there are far faster and better specs.

The Zenfone 3 Ultra is the biggest phablet that we’ve ever encountered so far this year, and its size is both its strength and weakness. On the upside, the phones huge display is a boon for people who watch a lot of movies and play games on the go. The downside is that it’s difficult to use as a daily driver, even if you have big hands. Its price too, is a limiting factor – at Php 32,995, it’s already going up against high-profile flagships that have better (but smaller) displays with nicer cameras and features.

With the Zenfone 3 Ultra, ASUS is not only trying to redefine the phablet, but also wants to set a benchmark on what a multimedia powerhouse smartphone should be. With that goal in mind, the company decided to just supersize everything. And if you’re the type who’s looking for a smartphone-slash-tablet, the Ultra seems like the almost perfect device.

ASUS’s 6.8-inch Zenfone 3 Ultra is a gigantic phablet decked out with hefty internals and a premium metal build. More tablet than a phone, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is ASUS’ attempt at making a high-end device that straddles the fine line between portable and unwieldy. Given the phablet’s flagship-level price, will ASUS succeed with the Zenfone 3 Ultra? Editor-at-large John Nieves explores that question and more in this video unboxing review.

Lastly the price, at RM2599 that shouts "flagship", that is not very convincing for a phone that only comes with mid-ranged Qualcomm Snapdragon 652. If and only if ASUS were to pair this phone with a flagship worthy SoC, it will definitely hold back quite a few potential customers because, at the same price, they can instead get a high spec ZenFone 3 Deluxe. Unless you're looking for a phone that is larger than a phablet for your day to day usage, then you might consider having ZenFone 3 Ultra in your pocket.

Aside from its sheer size, the Zenfone 3 Ultra faces an uphill battle as far as pricing is concerned. At Php 32,995, it’s already priced at flagship territory. ASUS is hoping the allure of a big-screen phone aimed at entertainment segment will be more than enough incentive for people to fork over money for the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Will it work? Only time will tell.

The ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is a good phone; for $200, you get a premium design, excellent battery life, and dual-SIM card support. With that said, there are also some significant drawbacks: the camera performance is just average, performance is bottlenecked by 2 GB of RAM, and the software design appears outdated.

As a whole, Asus did a commendable job at packing in a lot of smartphone into something that costs less than 1/3 of today’s premium flagships, at just $200. The design of the Laser might be a bit commonplace, but the nice materials being used for the phone’s construction do a great job at mimicking the look and feel of a much more expensive product.

Zenfone series from Asus is one of the very popular series of smartphones in budget smartphones category, however, not very popular in the mid-range segment. The latest in the Zenfone family, Asus Zenfone 3 laser offers a sleek unibody metal design. The smartphone is easy to use with one hand and offers decent daylight camera photography. Though, the images captured in low light are a little grainier. The smartphone offers a good performance and multitasking is also fun. However, if you’re looking for a device that could offer you both performance and battery life, than you can look for other smartphones such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Vibe K5 Note.

Asus ZenFone 3 Laser is a decent smartphone in the whole ZenFone 3 series. But despite the decent attempt at going with tried and tested way, there is no way that I would suggest this smartphone to anyone for the Rs 18,999. I would never pay this much money for a smartphone that has issues such as micro stutters and lags in operation, average camera and does not have essentials such as USB Type-C and fast charging in 2016.

The Laser series by the Taiwanese company has over the time spoilt us by offering good quality cameras at a comparatively lower price. The price is higher this time around, but while the device has scored well on the camera and the battery front, we feel it couldn’t really step it up in terms of performance – blame it on the processor perhaps. The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser scores a few brownie points but will find the going tough against the likes of the Lenovo Z2 Plus and Le Eco Le Max 2 which offer the top notch Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor at a similar price. We think the Laser definitely has its task ‘cut’ out when it comes to giving other phones in its price segment some stiff competition.

A premium looking phone from such a recognized brand can be better off competing for the spec-oriented devices. Not saying that the ZenFone 3 Laser is underpowered by its specs, people do expect other things rather than just specs. A good camera, a great design along with a better display and better battery backup, a phone that fits well in the hands may not be found in the phones that boast its hardware.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is the larger variant in ZenFone 3 series sized at 5.5-inch featuring laser autofocus and a metallic design along with 2.5D curved glass. ZenFone 3 series is now focusing on the premium segment rather picking up the highly competitive budget price bracket that is already dominated by the brands like Xiaomi, Lenovo, and LeEco. ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is priced at ₹18,999. We have shared our hands-on review below.

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has some points in its favour: I like the design, the camera is good but can be painfully slow in most situations, and the battery life will be enough for most regular users. The problem for Asus Zenfone 3 Laser isn’t competition from other phones, it is from the brand itself. The Zenfone 3 Max has a lot more battery on offer, and comes in a cheaper variant as well. Plus, there are phones with better processors like Lenovo Z2 Plus with Snapdragon 820 available at Rs 17,999 in the market. With the Snapdragon 430, Zenfone 3 Laser seems overpriced at Rs 18,999.

Priced at Rs 18,999, ASUS has priced the Zenfone 3 Laser at a premium. But looking at the specs offered by the device, it definitely feels underpowered at this price segment. Redmi 3S Prime sporting the same processor is priced 8999. So it is definitely hard to recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser at this pricing, probably the best pricing for this devicee would have been sub 15k. The only saving grace for this device is the camera, but then for this pricing the device is not the best value for money.

At the end of the day, the ZF3 Laser is a great mid-range phone that’s not out of reach for most working class Juans out there. It’s a solid performer, and can handle most, if not all, Android apps you throw at it. It has an impressive camera as well, and as long as you do your part, it’s capable of producing really good photos in a pinch. At Php 11,995, it’s slight more expensive than the ZF3 Max, but the extra cash you spend for it is worth it.

The handset can easily last one full day of use with light to medium use which I feel is decent enough for a 3,000mAh battery. If you are looking to buy a phone with great camera and a decent battery life then look no more, It has everything one looks for a daily use mobile. It looks great, has an impressive screen and a beautiful UI. I just wish Asus would have used a better processor, but even now it is one of the best camera phones you can buy under 20,000INR.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has a better camera than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, LeEco Le 2, Lenovo Z2 Plus and Xiaomi Mi Max. However, these phones are also miles ahead in performance. In my opinion, what those phones lack in the camera department, they more than make up for in others, and that’s why I wouldn’t recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser over them.

The biggest problem for the ZF3 Laser we feel is price. If ASUS launched this particular phone earlier, at least along with the ZF3 Max, it could have had a good head-start against all the other Snapdragon 430-equipped phones coming out this holiday season. As it stands it faces very stiff competition from several local and international brands.

Xiaomi's Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime (Review) are powered by the same octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, and are priced below Rs. 10,000.

Overall, the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZC553KL ticks all the boxes in terms of design, performance, battery life and price. Currently at RM869, it is well below RM1K and fairly affordable while providing a good, long-lasting smartphone experience that will satisfy Malaysia’s masses. It also looks fairly good with its thin metal body and could easily be mistaken for a more premium phone.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Max is a decent all-round product, with a good mix of features and performance. The design is good and the phone feels well built. The display quality is impressive and one of the best in its class. The performance for day to day is adequate and the battery life is excellent. It also ships with a fairly decent set of cameras. Overall, nothing that will blow you away but pretty good nonetheless.

Asus ZenFone AR ZS571KL
While the mobile AR and VR space tends to feel lackluster as of late there still seems to be some manufacturers trying to innovate and this time around Asus has tried to deliver by combining AR and VR hardware into the actual device itself. The device in question is the Asus ZenFone AR-ZS571KL, while the name may not roll of the tongue easily it seems promising. Powering this device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 SoC, up to 256 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM and not one or two but three front facing cameras. The amount of front facing cameras seems like a first in the entire industry yet it is as convincing as your regular smartphone, everything on this phone screams over the top. However how does the chassis fare? While every ZenFon was different in terms of material choice it seems that Asus has chosen a metal frame backed by leather for the casing this time. Overall rigidity of the phone remains satisfactory with minimal flex. Moving on to the display the Asus ZenFone AR-ZS571KL sports a 5.7-inch 1440p super AMOLED display which is very vibrant and bright. Naturally as this is an AR/VR phone one should note that Asus claims that one of the main features is the ability to mix virtual objects into the real world just by viewing through the phone’s display. Through Google’s computer vision software and the phone’s sensors the ZenFone AR is able to allow for spatial awareness and motion detection. This allows the phone to detect how far it is away from walls and objects. What’s more interesting is the learning experience and games such as Solar Simulator which brings space into your room. The ZenFone AR also has support for google daydream and runs all of the same software. As VR/AR devices tend to get hot Asus has promised that it will use an “Advance Vapor Cooling System” which should keep temperatures in check while utilizing the AR/VR function. Naturally AR wouldn’t be able to function without the cameras, which the Asus has 3 of them mainly its 23 MP, 8 MP and a depth sensor. With all of this hardware battery life might take a nosedive, fortunately Asus has chosen to use a 3300 mAh battery which is decent for a phone of this size. Of course, you can’t get everything you want but at least the ZenFone AR is preloaded with Android 7 Nougat which should keep this device up to date. Final words being, while this may not be the first AR phone it is actually both the first AR and VR phone which is well optimized for its given use case, however users should give this device some time to iron out any other kinks just in case.

Enhanced Reality. Asus's ZenFone AR combines Augmented Reality with Virtual Reality: it is, after all, the first smartphone ever certified for Google Tango as well as Daydream. The most interesting question is whether or not its AR- and VR-features justify its high price of approximately $770.

To conclude, the Asus Zenfone AR does a pretty impressive job in handling most of the virtual and augmented reality apps. Though the whole AR and VR experience work really good, still, it is just not the right time to buy a smartphone just for these experiences, as it really needs to grow at an exponential rate to offer more to the consumers, especially in terms of productivity and everyday usability.

The Asus ZenFone AR came just at the wrong time. It's one of those strange cases where all of its technological advancement is redundant straight out of the box. As surprised as we are to see it launched, it's still kind of exciting to see what Tango could have become.

If you're an early adopter of next-generation technology or perhaps a developer looking to make inroads in AR/VR, the Asus ZenFone AR is technically the only phone in the market right now to support both these technologies out-of-the-box. As for the rest of the world, well, can we have a moment of warm appreciation for Asus? Raise a toast maybe? The company just created history after all.

If you’re an Asus fan, we suggest waiting for the ZenFone 4 Pro to see if the problems found here are remedied in the company’s true flagship device. If AR is super important to you, then you can buy the ZenFone AR and know that you’ll have a decently performing phone with dreadful battery life, heating issues, and an inconsistent camera behind its marquee feature. Otherwise, in the $600 - $700 range – and even below this – there’s a wealth of better options. The LG G6, OnePlus 5, U11 – even the Galaxy S8 is now within this price-point. It’s hard to see why anyone should choose the ZenFone AR over these better executed, better looking, flagship heavyweights.

The good news here for ASUS is that the ZenFone AR is a good phone overall. Though it is rocking a previous generation Snapdragon 821 SoC, it is still a pretty fast handset. It also has copious amounts of storage and memory, a premium design, quality cameras, and some nifty tricks that are made possible by ZenUI. And while the AR and VR experiences are limited at this point in time, there are some cool apps to play with now, along with whatever might be in the pipeline from developers going forward.

The ZenFone AR is reasonably priced on Verizon at $648 or $27 per month. This is a good price for a high-end smartphone with unique AR capability. It is built well for the enterprise with AR/VR, high-capacity RAM and storage, and more. I would like to have seen some level of water resistance for field use and the phone does heat up with extensive AR use.

Overall, the ZenFone AR is a really powerful smartphone. The benchmark scores speak for themselves, carrying out graphic demading games, AR and VR performance which is just great, very good camera quality and the DIY cardbox VR viewer is a nice touch. However, at this moment there aren't too many engaging AR and VR apps for the ZenFone AR, not to mention the annoying heating issue that appears on the four sides of the device. I think the battery could use some improvement as well, maybe adding more up to 3500mAh or more so that you can have more time for AR and VR.

Lenovo's Phab2 Pro might have been first, but the ZenFone AR's superior hardware makes it the best Tango device yet. That's not really saying much, though: The Tango experience isn't much better than it was a year ago, and there still isn't much there to win over people who haven't already bought into Google's AR vision. If you're already tantalized by the potential of augmented reality to change how we see the world, the ZenFone AR is worth looking into. For literally everyone else who just wants a damn good all-around smartphone, there's little here for you.

For $699, the Asus ZenFone AR is a solid phablet that serves as a showcase for the potential of AR. The slimmed-down design and relatively powerful hardware make it more accessible to the average user than the Phab 2 Pro, but it also costs $200 more. That price puts it in competition with flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8, which is a smaller, sleeker, more powerful, and generally better phone in every regard. Unless you're an early adopter keen on experiencing AR, the Galaxy S8 remains our Editors' Choice for phones in this price range. If you're looking for a more affordable option, the OnePlus 5 is half the price and includes a dual-sensor camera with optical zoom. AR on phones might be the future, but the ZenFone AR shows we aren't there quite yet.

While I would recommend the phone for its overall capabilities, I am not sure it is time yet to buy a phone just for AR or VR. For anyone to do that these technologies have to be able to offer more for the consumer in terms of usability and productivity. Also remember, this is not a cheap phone by any standards, thankfully Asus has packed in only premium features in the phone.

The Asus Zenfone AR is an incredible piece of kit for those looking for something AR- and VR-ready, as it’s the only smartphone to boast both Project Tango and Google Daydream support. The AR capabilities are incredible, although it’s somewhat limited by the apps available on Google Play at the moment. Moving beyond that, the smartphone is sleek, gorgeous and features an incredibly detailed WQHD display that’s more than enough to display the highly detailed images you’ll capture on the rear-facing 23Mp snapper. The only downside to this amazing piece of tech is the software – it features ZenUI on top of Android 7.0 along with a fair bit of non-removable bloatware.

The Asus Zenfone AR is a great demo for augmented reality and Daydream virtual reality, even if it shows AR is begging for more great apps. However, it’s a tough sell when the phone costs as much as a Galaxy S8 Plus but has a less striking design, no water resistance and less power.

The Asus Zenfone AR is an incredible piece of kit for those looking for something AR- and VR-ready, as it’s the only smartphone to boast both Project Tango and Google Daydream support. The AR capabilities are incredible, although it’s somewhat limited by the apps available on Google Play at the moment. Moving beyond that, the smartphone is sleek, gorgeous and features an incredibly detailed WQHD display that’s more than enough to display the highly detailed images you’ll capture on the rear-facing 23Mp snapper. The only downside to this amazing piece of tech is the software – it features ZenUI on top of Android 7.0 along with a fair bit of non-removable bloatware.

The Asus Zenfone AR is a great demo for augmented reality and Daydream virtual reality, even if it shows AR is begging for more great apps. However, it’s a tough sell when the phone costs as much as a Galaxy S8 Plus but has a less striking design, no water resistance and less power.

In January at CES in Las Vegas, we got our first look at the Asus ZenFone AR. It's the first phone that lets you use Google Tango AR and Google Daydream VR, and on Wednesday we were finally able to get our hands on it to review.

The ASUS ZenFone AR has an average battery uptime for a phone that does regular smartphone tasks expectedly, and it’s sufficient for performing its intended AR purposes. If we’re looking strictly at the ZenFone range, this is certainly ASUS’s most powerful phone to date, even if it has subpar imaging performance for its class. Moderate phone capabilities aside, the ridiculous asking price begets certain baseline smartphone expectations, which ASUS seems to actively work against on multiple points –they are listed below.

The ZenFone AR is an example of a new direction that the smartphone industry could head in. Instead of simply beefing up the internals, Asus offers a set of new experiences on a single smartphone. What the ZenFone AR offers at the moment is unique, but it is a niche product for people who might have a use for AR, rather than a great phone which also has that feature. If you want to be among the first to experience AR, or simply show off, this is the phone for you.

At a price of Rs 49,999, the Asus Zenfone AR is offering an excellent display, brilliant camera, a flagship processor - all the specs that are part of any other flagship smartphone. But that's not it, with the combination of augmented reality and virtual reality, there is no doubt that the Asus Zenfone AR has a significant edge over its competitors.

The only problem is whether AR will be worth paying big bucks for. All those extra cameras aren’t cheap, and if you don’t plan on using the tech, the ZenFone AR is undeniably expensive. It’s also using an older-gen CPU, and camera quality isn’t quite up to scratch compared to the other big-name phones doing the rounds right now.

To sum up, the Zenfone AR does gives us a glimpse of the future, but talking about current scenarios, it is still in very niche stage. The implementation of Tango looks promising, but there are not many apps available in the market to support this technology. As for the specs are concerned, the smartphone does sports some interesting hardware and will surely give a stiff competition to the likes of OnePlus 5, LG G6, Apple iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8.

But in truth the ZenFone AR may turn out to be more of a technology demonstrator than a product that will fly off the shelves. Shoving multiple cameras and top-tier hardware in a phone like the ZenFone AR isn’t cheap, and while ASUS hasn’t said a word about pricing (we’ll all have to learn about it on the 24th), we expect it to be at least as expensive as Samsung’s Galaxy S8+.

All in all the Zenfone AR is one cool device because it features a technology not found in most smartphones. Tango provides the user with a different level of mobile experience and gives you a glimpse into the future of Augmented Reality. However, that coolness currently has its limitations as not a lot of apps have been developed for it yet, but here lies its potential as well.

That’s pretty much it for this quick unboxing and review. We’ll be using the ZenFone AR as our primary phone in the next few days, hopefully we’ll be done with the review process by next week. We still have no price point for the phone, but considering its positioning expect it command a premium price.

Regardless, I’m definitely looking forward to the Asus ZenFone AR. It’s a promising little device, and while Google Tango is still in relative infancy – the technology is only available on the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro for now – the ZenFone AR may help push the technology further. Let’s just hope the ZenFone AR won’t cost an arm and a leg when it’s officially available for purchase.

You also get USB-C charging, a standard headphone socket, a physical home button with an integrated fingerprint sensor. So, even without Tango and Daydream, the ZenFone AR is definitely a noteworthy flagship phone. It packs powerful tech, an excellent screen, and impressive cameras into a slim form factor - and we're looking forward to really giving it a whirl when it releases in the second quarter of 2017.

Even without the dual whammy of augmented and virtual reality tech, the ZenFone AR is an exciting phone. It certainly looks very nice - particularly compared to the previous Tango phone, the far chunkier Phab 2 Pro; it really is impressive that Asus has managed to pack all that tech into a smartphone this slim.

Props to Asus for cramming both Daydream and Tango into a phone that looks this good, but good luck to anyone who can use ZenUI on a daily basis without running into a wall. Still, I haven’t ever been this excited to fully review an Asus phone. Bring on the Tango.

As for the camera, it’s pretty good. Its optical zooming capabilities are not amazing, but it’s a nice feature to have. I just wouldn’t buy the phone solely for that reason. Since the phone’s focus is in large part on its camera, this is pretty disappointing. At the end of the day, it can take some nice pictures, but they won’t compare to those coming from high-end handsets. The battery is arguably the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom’s best feature, not its camera.

The Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is a smartphone in an uncomfortable position. None of its big features – neither its dual cameras nor its giant battery – end up really panning out in quite the way Asus clearly hoped, and while they don't utterly disappoint, they're far from the major selling points they were meant to be.

If you can put up with Asus' terrible bloatware, the Zoom is actually a decent midrange phone with amazing battery life. The dual-camera features are useful, but not really a must-buy. If you want great design and don't need dual-cameras, the original Asus ZenFone 3 ($254.99 at Amazon Marketplace) still feels like the better buy (even though it's a year old).

The $329 ZenFone 3 Zoom sits between the $299 Moto G5 Plus and the $399 ZTE Axon 7 in terms of price. With its gargantuan battery, dual-camera setup with telephoto zoom, and host of unique features, it manages to stand out, which is more than you can say about many phones in the price range. And with its recent update to Android Nougat, the software experience is far better than it was at the beginning.

ASUS just released a huge-ass Android 7.1.1 Nougat update for the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom smartphone. Amongst the many updates and upgrades is a new Portrait Mode. Software bokeh may not be new, but the ZenFone 3 Zoom Portrait Mode promises a better looking and more accurate bokeh effect, thanks to the way it uses its dual camera system.

The Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is a really interesting phone. Its performance is similar to that of less-expensive budget phones, its display is on a par with those of handsets costing hundreds more, and it has dual rear cameras with OIS and a 2.3x optical zoom. But the ZenFone 3 Zoom's best feature isn't even the camera; it's the phone's epic battery life. I just wish this phone's software and interface were more up-to-date, both in terms of design and version number.

The Zenfone 3 Zoom brings high-end camera features to the mid-tier with somewhat mixed results, pairing it with an incredibly competent design and packed feature set. This is one of the best values available in 2017.

The Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is a really interesting phone. Its performance is similar to that of less-expensive budget phones, its display is on a par with those of handsets costing hundreds more, and it has dual rear cameras with OIS and a 2.3x optical zoom. But the ZenFone 3 Zoom's best feature isn't even the camera; it's the phone's epic battery life. I just wish this phone's software and interface were more up-to-date, both in terms of design and version number.

The $329 ZenFone 3 Zoom sits between the $299 Moto G5 Plus and $399 ZTE Axon 7 in terms of price. With its gargantuan battery, dual-camera setup with telephoto zoom, and host of unique features, it manages to stand out, which is more than you can say about many phones in the price range. But it's 2017 and Android O is around the corner, so we can't overlook the fact that the Zoom comes running two-year-old software. That's why the G5 Plus remains our Editors' Choice on the more affordable end: It features similar hardware, along with newer software and a greater likelihood of updates, no to mention compatibility with every major US carrier. For $100 more, ZTE's Axon 7 is nearly a year old, but it just received a Nougat update with Daydream support, putting it nearly on par with current flagship phones for nearly half the price.

To top it all off, the brand took a sudden leap in design, delivering a product that looks far more premium than its price point. There are some minor issues, including bloatware and lacklustre performance, but it still offers an exceptional value and is worth consideration on the strength of its stand-out camera and battery alone.

The Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is a respectable mid-range smartphone. Its Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and a whopping 5,000mAh battery is more than enough for an everyday smartphone. Its dual-camera setup also does a decent job, but we’re not quite certain if all of these are worth the ZenFone 3 Zoom’s RM2,099 price tag.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom ZE553KL finally delivers as the flagship killer that ASUS envisioned the first ASUS ZenFone Zoom to be but with a more balanced processor, enhanced cameras, slim metal body and extremely long battery life. Improving in nearly every aspect from the original ZenFone zoom, it also helps that the ZenFone 3 Zoom ZE553KL is fairly affordable at its current lowest price of RM1888 (the RRP is RM2099) and should give those looking for a performance photography device an excellent cameraphone option compared to today’s flagships (which are all well above RM2K).

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom is a smartphone that deserves attention and success, the company has already proven the reusability of optical zoom in today's smartphones with the previous device, which has inspired the iPhone 7 Plus' camera setup, and it done an even greater job by combining the best features of the ZenFone 3 and Max into one single device, fixing things that are once broken and doing things that the iPhone 7 Plus' camera can't achieve. For the things that ASUS has offered in the ZenFone 3 Zoom, its RM2,099 price tag no longer feels expensive, because the phone has a battery size and camera that no other can compete within the same price range.

After requests from our TechNavers we recently tried out the 4K video recording capabilities of the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom ZE553KL. Featuring both Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom also offers up to 12x zoom (5x zoom in video recording mode), a dual rear camera with a dual Pixel camera sensor, 5000 mAh battery and more for just RM2099. The current pricing has dropped somewhat below RM1.9K though, which should make the ZenFone 3 Zoom even more of a flagship killer. You can check out our unboxing and hands-on video previously or see how stable 4K video recording is below.

The ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom is not the company’s first “zoom” smartphone. In 2015, they released the original Zenfone Zoom, however, it didn’t get enough traction considering the price and competition. After two years, ASUS revived the Zoom lineup with a fairly strong combination of premium build, dual rear cameras, capable specs, and large battery.

Overall, the Zenfone 3 Zoom is a mid-range phone with some compelling camera specs and a large battery. We really need to spend more time with it before we can say whether it can capture better photos than competing handsets, and it would be good to know how much the thing costs before giving it two thumbs up. Asus has said it is coming in February, but it's staying quiet on price and availability.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom intensely focuses on the two areas of the smartphone we really care about – the camera and battery life. Its camera specs either tie or best the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and iPhone 7 Plus, and we’re anxious to see how it fares when we take real life photos.

In addition, ASUS is serving up a host of manual controls in its camera app, with options for controlling things like exposure values, ISO, shutter speed, and the focal length. This reminds us of the Pro mode on the Huawei Mate 9, and the two are actually quite similar (Huawei has an extra setting for autofocus mode).

As so much of this phone rests on its optical zoom toting camera, I can't really make too many judgements on it without thoroughly testing it. But the camera specs sound strong, so I do have high hopes. That 5,000 mAh battery is another feature, and I'm wondering how long it could possibly last.

That’s pretty much it for this hands-on. No official price has been set for this phone in the Philippines as of yet. From what we can surmise, the pricing for this phone will fall close to the official SRP of the original ZF3, which may result in ASUS officially canning the 5.5-inch ZF3 and replacing it with this model. That’s our take on it anyway. The phone will hit stores worldwide by February.

Asus Zenfone 3S Max
The Asus ZenFone 3S Max smartphone was launched in January 2017. The Zenfone Max was one of the most successful models in Asus's smartphone lineup. Now, Asus has launched another variant called the Zenfone 3S Max, which comes with a bigger 5,000 mAh battery and runs the latest Android 7.0 (Nougat). The bigger 5,000 mAh battery eliminates battery life worries, with enough power to get through a full work day and even beyond. It can last up to 34 days in standby mode too. The ZenFone 3s Max includes five battery-extending technologies to squeeze even more power out of its battery. Super saving mode smartly adjusts screen brightness and other functions. Furthermore, it closes all network functions for a longer standby time. All phone, SMS, and alarm functions work well in this mode. It is recommendable for long standby times & low battery scenarios. The Zenfone 3S Max comes with a full metal unibody design but with a few design changes compared to the other models in the Zenfone 3 range. The 3S Max has a physical home button on its front side, which also doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. This is the first phone from this company to feature a front fingerprint scanner. The camera placement is different. It is on the left top corner of the rear whereas Asus usually places the camera in the centre. As for colour options, it has Gold and Black. As for the screen, the ZenFone 3s Max’s contoured (2.5D) glass touch screen is matched around the back by a gently curving rear cover that feels natural to hold. The ZenFone 3s Max has a 5.2-inch high-definition display for great detail, and intense brightness for easy viewing even under the harsh light conditions with 400 nits brightness. With a thin 2.15 mm bezel and remarkable 75% screen-to-body ratio, it’s more display with less bulk. The Asus ZenFone 3S Max is powered by a 1 GHz octa-core MediaTek processor and it comes with 3 GB of RAM. The phone packs 32 GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256 GB via a microSD card. The Zenfone 3s Max comes with Android 7.0 Nougat along with the ZenUI out-of-the-box. As for cameras, the Asus ZenFone 3S Max packs a 13 MP primary camera on the rear and an 8 MP front shooter for selfies. The primary camera is a PixelMaster camera that captures beautiful, high-resolution photos with zero shutter lag. It also features a dual LED real tone flash. Besides that, the ZenFone 3s Max also features a front fingerprint sensor. It unlocks it in a fraction of a second with its 360-degree fingerprint recognition ability. Five fingers fingerprints can be added for complete convenience. In terms of audio, the Zenfone 3s Max has an enhanced 5-magnet speaker that offers high clarity, low distortion and loud sound. In addition, the ZenEar earphones from ASUS offer crystal clear sound with its Patented Damping System and Transmission Tube designed to deliver crystal clear and detailed sound. The ZenFone 3S Max is a good device especially when the price is considered. It also happens to offer one the longest standby time on a smartphone.

Finally the question arises whether you should buy Asus Zenfone 3S Max or not? I really don’t know why a customer would spend 14K on a smartphone that is only a powerbank. Powerbanks are already available in market, a smartphone on the other hand is something else. There are flaws in the Zenfone 3S Max and it’s not the best value for money. You can look for the other options available in market like Lenovo Vibe K5 Note, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Huawei Honor 6X.

The Asus ZenFone 3S Max costs Rs. 14,999 and as such, it slots in between the two ZenFone 3 Max models which were launched late last year. This creates a bit of overlap and confusion in Asus's lineup, especially since by all indications, the larger battery doesn't help much. Overall, we expected more from this phone's headline feature, especially since it has only that to use as a weapon against the potent Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and the recently launched Honor 6X (Review). We hope that software updates do something to improve battery life - and while Asus is at it, we'd really like to see some common sense applied to ZenUI as well.

Asus Zenfone 3s Max lives up to the battery claim, but the overall package is still far from perfect. At Rs 14,999 you are essentially paying to get the extra-large battery in a more compact form factor. However, the market has options like Redmi Note 4 or Lenovo K6 Power, which offer a better overall performance. If it was priced lower, the Zenfone 3s Max would have made more sense.

Zenfone 3S Max is priced Rs 14999 and this is quite a high price for the device considering the specs. Also, if you look at the competition there are many devices offered with better specs at a lower price point. But there are some good aspects for Zenfone 3S max which you cannot ignore and the foremost one is the excellent battery life. Also, the device runs Android 7.0 (one of the few devices in the budget segment to have it) and has a premium build. If you are looking to watch movies and want high performing battery, without a doubt, the Zenfone 3S Max makes sense, but if you are looking for an all round device, there are better alternatives available.

The Asus Zenfone 3S Max surely impressed when it came to quality construction and stellar battery life. In fact, it could have hit the performance balance as well, provided Asus had reduced on the bloat ware and increased the RAM to 4GB. But it did not and for now the Zenfone 3S Max cannot hold its own against the mighty Redmi Note 4 (or even the Note 3 for that matter).

If battery life is what you want, the Zenfone 3s Max presents one of the best options on the market. There’s not many other options with a 5,000 mAh unit built-in and especially so with such a compact body. The design too is visually appealing though a bit understated. However, we weren’t very satisfied with the performance which always seems to be catching up. Additionally, we found the camera to be rather disappointing. All this makes the Zenfone 3s Max a one trick pony.

It is also an upgraded variant from the last year’s Zenfone Go 5.0 LTE. The 2nd-gen device with the model number ZB500KL sports almost similar specifications as its predecessor. From the front of the device, it looks similar to last year’s Zenfone Go 5.0 LTE with Asus's famous concentric circles design below the capacitive buttons. While the volume rocker is now placed on the rear of the device, the power button sits on the top edge of the device. The device sports an all-metal body and sports a front facing home button.

The fingerprint sensor that comes embedded into the front facing home button can detect from 360-degrees. As for operating system, it runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. Its 2,600 mAh battery is supposed to give 16 hours of talk time on a 3G connection and 13.7 hours of Wi-Fi browsing.

Among the entry-level phones ASUS has released in the past few months, the ZenFone Live L1 is one of their better offerings. Aside from the much-improved ZenUI and better internals, ASUS gave the ZenFone Live L1 a more competitive price at a hair below Php 6k. As far as pricing is concerned, ASUS made the right move on making the ZenFone Live L1 more affordable than its predecessor.

Big and basic are what you get if you plunk down $110 at Best Buy for Asus' Zenfone Live (L1), the company's first phone to use the stripped-down version of Google's Android operating system, Android Go. The budget Go versions of phones are slowly arriving in the US, and are appealing if you want something a little more flexible than prepaid but can't stomach the high prices of the hot new phones.

Asus Zenfone Live is pitching the ability to improve your Live video as the USP. I would have not thought that such a USP is possible. But in the age of selfie cameras and Live videos, anything goes.

The phone is available at ₹9,999, but the pricing seems not convincing when we compare the phone with the existing Chinese rivals. The performance may not meet the current app demands, chances are, the overall experience of the phone might let you down. Good for you if you all do is live video sessions on the Facebook, Instagram or any similar Social app.

We would say that while there a few things about the Asus Zenfone Live that we liked, there were many aspects that disappointed us. While the display, software and beautification app are plus points, the performance, heating issues and average camera are downers.

The Asus ZenFone Live claims to be the first to have live beautification for social media. It somewhat delivers on that front but there are too many sacrifices. The choice of an outdated processor for the ZenFone Live is highly questionable and the missing fingerprint sensor does not help its case.

Asus Zenfone Live ZB 501KL is dedicatedly made for people who love live streaming. The smartphone has one of the best microphone setup installed inside it that delivers unmatchable audio recording at its price tag. For people who frequently go online for live streaming and want to get a smartphone for it, Zenfone Live is a good choice. However, if you’re looking for a smartphone for multitasking, Hardcore gaming, lots of video playback and an overall swift interface, Zenfone live would not be the best option for you.

Overall, the smartphone has its shares of hits and misses. The device comes with a lightweight design, coupled good display and decent camera performance in broad daylight. But the phone let down with a heavy user interface, struggles in low light conditions and has an average battery life. Though the real-time beautification camera is tempting, but when it comes to sheer performance, the device is an underdog when compared to the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 4, Lenovo K6 Power and so on.

Asus Zenfone Live is looks good, give premium feel, is light weight and heat-up is well under control. Camera is average and so is the battery life. Not sure if Selfie lovers would actually will use the live video beautification mode. But if you look at the price of Zenfone Live – Rs. 9,999 it is way too pricey for the outdated hardware they have used.

The Asus ZenFone Live is a one-of-its-kind smartphone if you're into live-streaming. Even then, 9 out of 10 times, you're better off buying another phone than Asus's one-trick pony. The ZenFone Live has been found lacking on almost all the other fronts both on paper and in terms of real world usage to an extent that it's surprising that such a phone even exists in today's world. It's highly recommended that you give this one a skip.

The Asus Zenfone Live fails at what it set out to do. It's livestream beautification feature is a gimmick that doesn't really come in handy. In addition, the phone doesn't perform very well, nor does it have any stand-out features worth spending on. It's not a good buy.

The ZenFone Live is a first of its kind smartphone targeting the ‘live-generation’. It’s a good idea which hasn’t been implemented very well. The phone itself cannot match its competition. It is running on buggy software, powered by an old chipset and offers very low-end features. While the dedicated app to make live broadcasts is decent, there isn’t much to it apart from adding a filter. A fully loaded app would have made some justice.

ASUS’ ZenFone Live lives up to its promise of beautifying you in real time. It’s the first smartphone we’ve encountered with that particular feature, and should keep you looking fresh AF whenever you start streaming on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

While we wrap our review, we can’t help but conclude that the Zenfone Live, sans the BeautyLive feature, is what could have been the latest Zenfone Go. Nonetheless, we’re glad to ASUS opening up live streaming to the masses. If only ASUS partnered with a telco to sponsor the data costs, it would have been a complete package.

Despite ASUS launching several Zenfone 3 devices last year, the Taiwanese company has always had a hole in its lineup in the budget segment. And while price cuts have brought down the pricing of the 5.2-inch Zenfone 3 Max to under 10K, there hasn’t really been a solid smartphone contender for the budget market since last year.

The problem confronting it is that while its parts are very good, the entire sum of them does not gel as well as some of its competitors. We got a much smoother overall experience from two of its closest rivals, the Moto Z2 Play and the Honor 8 Pro, with the latter packing in a higher res display and more consistent cameras as well as a large, if slightly smaller, battery. Also looming on the horizon in this price segment is the OnePlus 3T which has got a price cut and in spite of its advancing months, remains a formidable performer. The ZenFone Zoom S has a lot going for it in terms of individual parts, but unfortunately, nothing that makes it compelling on its own. It is a very good option but stops just short of being a great one.

The ZenFone Zoom S isn’t particularly well built and neither does it have a great camera or zoom feature. To top it off, the price is rather high at Rs 27,000, pricing the device just shy of the OnePlus 5. The device’ competition in this price range includes the Honor 8 Pro and the Oppo F3, both of which, I believe, offer a more compelling feature-set and better camera system.

Its dual camera system, said to be the main highlight of the phone, still needs a lot of work. But then that's the case with every other dual camera phone. Even the mighty iPhone 7 Plus. Take the second camera away, and the ZenFone Zoom S doesn't necessarily disappoint. It does not have a ground-breaking camera -- the Honor 8 Pro is miles ahead for instance -- but let's just say, you won't be buying this phone for its camera alone. In fact, I advise you not to buy the ZenFone Zoom S for its camera. Buy it for the other things that it brings to the table: a premium all-metal design, an eye-popping AMOLED display, a tried and tested mobile processor with good amounts of RAM and internal storage, quite the latest in software and a massive 5,000mAh battery. If I were to be a little more precise, buy it for the all-round package.

So, if you talk about the overall package, the device falls slightly behind the likes of Honor 8 Pro or the Moto Z2 Play. The latter two are known for their good cameras, sleek design and stock Android OS. But if you are a photography enthusiast or a heavy user, the Asus Zenfone Zoom S's camera and battery can be said to be the reason why the smartphone is almost there yet falls short of ticking all the boxes.

The Asus ZenFone Zoom S is another good option in the sub-Rs. 30,000 price segment. It’s also attractively priced at Rs. 26,999, making it a tiny bit cheaper than the Moto Z2 Play. However, its biggest selling feature - the cameras - aren't what they are hyped up to be. While the rear camera does perform well in most lighting scenarios, light metering isn’t often a hit or miss affair, and HDR doesn’t always deliver satisfying results. We didn’t have many complaints about the other aspects of the phone though, as it’s built well, offers decent performance, has a vivid display, and good battery life.

The ZenFone Zoom S has 64GB of storage, which is expandable using a microSD card (up to 2TB). The new Asus device is available in Navy Black and Glacier Silver options. With its price and features, the ZenFone Zoom S will be competing against the likes of the OnePlus 5 and Honor 8 Pro in India. It will be interesting to see whether camera quality will be enough to set it apart from these popular options.

The ASUS ZenFone Zoom S isn't exactly special or new given its design and its choice of features. We’ve already seen how it’s possible to bring a dual rear camera setup to a mid-range device from two years ago. For ASUS, their take of this feature is coupled with a premium-looking body, a good mainstream processor and a Main Camera that’s far better than its predecessor; it is also within the conventional price range for similarly classed/featured phones. Unfortunately, the S$678 ZenFone Zoom Sunder delivers for its price tier as consumers would expect more than just average capabilities.

Asus ZenFone 4 Max ZC554KL
The Asus ZenFone 4 Max is a mid-range smartphone that completes with Snapdragon 430 SOC, 4 GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch HD display, and a 13 MP dual rear-facing camera. The highlight of the ZenFone 4 Max is undoubtedly the 5000 mAh battery. If users are interested in long battery life or wide-angle photography, this phone is immediately worth consideration. The ZenFone 4 Max has some other battery tricks too. The included PowerMaster app provides tools and diagnostics to squeeze even more longevity out of a charge while monitoring battery health. The phone allows for reverse charging through a packaged USB on-the-go cable, meaning a user can top off their headphones, smartwatch or other mobile device using the ZenFone as an external power pack. For appearance, the ZenFone 4 Max is made predominantly of metal, and the backside is a clean hunk of aluminum with breaks near the top and bottom. At the front, with big bezels, a rectangular fingerprint sensor/home button and mirrored capacitive navigation keys, this Asus handset could have been built by other companies. At 181 g (6.4 ounces) and 9 millimeters thick, the device is a bit more cumbersome, most probably due to the big capacity battery, which is bulkier. The Asus ZenFone 4 Max is powered by quad-core processor and it comes with 4 GB of RAM. The phone packs 64 GB of internal storage. The storage capacity can be expanded by up to 256GB via a microSD card. The ZenFone 4 Max is a competent performer for less demanding users. Exploring the world in Google Maps, streaming video on YouTube and juggling tabs in Chrome didn't slow the phone down. As far as the cameras are concerned, Asus has taken this lesson to heart with the ZenFone 4 Max, providing the camera with two lenses: one 13-megapixel shooter with a f/2.0 aperture and electronic image stabilization, and a wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field-of-view, rated at 5-MP. Switching between camera lenses on the ZenFone is easy, thanks to a toggle located right above the shutter button. As for the display, the ZenFone 4 Max features a 720p LCD display which is 5.5 inches large. The ZenFone's display gets pretty bright. The ZenFone 4 Max delivered a peak brightness of 461 nits, surpassing the 433-nit average. This may not be the best panel among competitors, but the ZenFone's screen has its advantages. Although the ZenFone 4 Max runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box, it also employs Asus' ZenUI custom interface. Asus ZenFone 4 Max accepts two Nano-SIMs. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, FM, 3G, and 4G. Sensors on the phone include a Proximity sensor, an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor and gyroscope. The Zenfone Max series has always been the focus for those who prioritize battery life over other specifications. This version is no different. It has great specs for a mid-range device and provides a extraordinary battery life. Its main competitor is the Xiaomi Mi Max. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Marathon runner. The ZenFone 4 Max is supposed to combine maximum battery life with awesome photo quality. Accordingly, it is equipped not just with a dual-camera, but even a wide-angle lens. That said, all that glitters is not (rose) gold, as we found out during our camera tests.

If all you care about is battery life, the ZenFone 4 Max may be the phone for you (although even then, you should take a look at the Nokia 2), but if design, display, camera, performance, or features like NFC and 802.11ac Wi-Fi (which honestly should be standard on all phones by now) are at least somewhat important, look elsewhere.

If all you care about is battery life, the ZenFone 4 Max may be the phone for you (although even then, you should take a look at the Nokia 2), but if design, display, camera, performance, or features like NFC and 802.11ac Wi-Fi (which honestly should be standard on all phones by now) are at least somewhat important, look elsewhere.

The cheapest ZenFone 4 is a perfectly serviceable smartphone with great battery life and dual cameras, all for $200. Unfortunately for Asus, other drawbacks make this phone difficult to recommend over the budget competition.

We must say, Asus’ first of the Zenfone 4 lineup has us encouraged. Retailing for $200, competition is plentiful, but the Zenfone 4 Max makes a respectable case for itself. We love how fluid and snappy the device is, throwing in a gigantic battery didn’t hurt either. Better yet, it doesn’t feel like its packing 5000mAh in there judging by its weight, though it most certainly is. While the dual camera has its issues, it is certainly competent for the price point. The display's 720p resolution and washed out colors do make our hearts (and eyes) hurt when viewing anything other than full screen media or relatively large text, but all in all, we’re happy we met you, Zenfone Max 4, and we can’t wait to meet your siblings.

The phone market is currently in serious need of a smartphone that can fill the gap left by the Lenovo P2. If the Zenfone 4 Max can deliver on even a fraction of the company’s battery claims, it could be the phone that plugs it.

The Zenfone 4 Max has only one specific purpose, and that is to provide enough battery life to last you more than a day. It isn’t spectacular, however, and other than the wide-angle double-lens camera, I personally think the Zenfone 4 would be a better choice despite the slightly higher price tag, if you really are looking for a basic phone.

The Zenfone 4 Max, is a mix of the old and the new. It has the old Snapdragon 430 CPU, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, and HD display found in its predecessors, but with a new and more attractive design, dual rear cameras, and larger 5,000mAh battery. With an SRP of Php9,995, the Zenfone 4 Max is designed for users who are looking for a device with features found in more expensive devices but can withstand heavy usage and doesn’t break the bank.

Surprisingly enough, ASUS has toned down the amount of bloatware in ZenUI, their custom interface that’s layered on top of Android Nougat. Instead of more than 20 apps updating when we first setup the phone for our use, the app list has been whittled down to less than 10. There’s far less pre-installed crap on the device this time around, and while we still want a mostly pure Android experience on our phones, this particular compromise is more than okay.

Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro ZD552KL
The Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a phone that wants to appeal to the social-networking, selfie-loving crowd. The ZenFone Selfie Pro opts for a 12 MP selfie shooter. In addition to that, it features a secondary, wide-angle selfie camera on the front, and a Portrait Mode for both the front- and rear-facing snappers. Asus is clear on the selling point of this device, having given it the name Selfie Pro, and reinforcing this by printing “We Love Photo” on the box. The main camera has a 16 MP sensor that takes relatively good photographs. As for the selfie camera, the software can stitch together the images taken with dual 12 MP sensors on the front to create effectively a 24 MP image. This results in beautiful-looking photographs that are detailed and well lit. The case is 6.9 mm thick, with ASUS managing to keep the rear camera protrusion to a minimum on such a thin case. The device feels good in the hand though thanks to its rounded corners. The device is wrapped in matte-finished metal and has a thin profile, which feels quite pleasant in the hand. There are three colors available: black, red, and a combination of gold and white. The case feels high quality and stable. For display, it has a 5.5-inch AMOLED Full HD panel with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. The imagery is sharp and, thanks to a very elaborate screen color customization menu, a user can get either very punchy colors or a very subdued and easy-on-the-eyes look. AMOLED displays are now common in mid-range smartphones. These offer rich colors and absolute blacks, but typically at a cost of a lower maximum brightness. Lower maximum brightness caused user experience in viewing display out in the sunlight to be not always a great experience. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, while graphics are handled by the Qualcomm Adreno 506. This is a popular SoC choice for current mid-range smartphones. The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, the combination of which makes it comparable to similarly priced smartphones. The device supports microSD card expansion or dual-SIM card slots. The device ships with Android Nougat 7.1.1 and has security patches dated December 2017. Asus uses its ZenUI on the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro which the company made minor visual changes from stock Android and pre-installed some additional apps. There is a theme gallery, which allows for further UI modifications. Furthermore, ASUS has installed a Mobile Manager app, in which cached data and notifications can be blocked for each app and one which supports a security scan feature too.

Fire-red selfie machine. The ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s salient feature is its high-resolution dual front-facing cameras. This is coupled with good battery life, and it is all housed in a metal case. Can the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro do enough to compete with the strong selection of mid-range smartphones?

The Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro is made for selfie lovers. The front camera is impressive but when you compare it with the shots taken with the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual, the Selfie Dual does a better job (bokeh looks much better).

Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a well made smartphone and at Rs 23,999, the price may seem a slight bit more than competition. Dual-front facing cameras with wide-angle option and a softlight LED bulb means that it is a boon for the selfie enthusiasts. However, I must add the caveat that the exposure can be off at times with the front camera. If Asus could resolve this shortcoming with a relevant software patch, then the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro could easily achieve some of the objectives it has set out to. Overexposure of surroundings in daylight with the front camera shots is annoying.

The Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is certainly not a bad phone. Its hardware is just right for an upper-midrange device, its user interface is smooth and its customizations are actually fun to play around with. Its thin profile and metal build make it look and feel like a premium handset, yet it still holds a rather large battery and definitely lasts a while. Its display is a pleasure to look at and can be set to taste, whether you love super-punchy colors or soft and subdued ones.

The Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro makes a big promise with its 24MP "duopixel" feature, but it's actually not very useful. That makes it an unfavourable choice for selfie lovers, and there are better options out there. Vloggers will probably like the 4K selfie videos feature, but there's not much more worth recommending this phone for.

There’s no denying that the front shooter is impressive, but what makes the phone a less viable option is the price-tag of Rs 23,999 which is expensive. The phone makes sense only for people who’d buy it solely for the selfie camera.

The Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is a pretty feature-rich offering at this price level, and we’d say it's a better bet than Vivo’s V7+. If you’re into vlogging on your smartphone, then you’ll appreciate the 4K recording support with the front camera. We don’t get why Asus had to resort to gimmicky features like the 24-megapixel DuoPixel mode, when the Sony sensor is capable of good things by itself. ZenUI 4 certainly looks leaner, but not much has really changed beneath the surface. Our main concerns here would be the weak sunlight legibility of the display and the fact that the cameras (all three of them) really struggle to give satisfactory results in low light.

To conclude, the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro does sport a sleek look and it is certainly one of the slimmest smartphone available in the market. However, when it comes it clicking selfies, the phone does a good job when the lighting condition is good, but there is a loss quality when you switch to the wide-angle lens. The rear camera does a decent job as well. Coming to the performance, there isn’t much to complain, but the battery backup is not up to the mark. Considering the price tag and specs and performance it offers, the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro looks a tad overpriced smartphone, especially when you get the same specs around Rs 15,000 in India.

But if you are someone who loves to click selfies and can make good use of that feature, then you should definitely put your money on this one.

Other than this all the other specifications are similar to any budget smartphone available in the market. The price of the phone is a huge deterrent even though the performance and looks of the phone do stand out. There are alternatives like the Vivo V7+ which sells for Rs 21,999 if you're looking for a selfie smartphone. The Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie delivers what it promises but perhaps isn't worth the price it commands. In that sense, Asus might have just scored a self(ie) goal!

To conclude, the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro offers a sleek design and it surely one of the lightest and slimmest devices available in the market right now. The dual front cameras do take some selfies in our initial testing. However, looking at the sheer specs sheet, it looks a bit overpriced in nature. As for the competition is concerned, it faces a stiff competition with the likes of Gionee A1, Oppo F3s, Motorola Moto G5S Plus and Honor 8 Lite, as the first two devices take good selfies, while the other two scores good marks in the overall performance.

The ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro is almost a perfect selfie smartphone, if it wasn't for the somewhat subpar 5MP camera sensor performance, it could have easily been the go-for selfie smartphone in the Malaysia market (#soclose). If you don't really mind about that, then go for it. The 24MP DuoPixel technology is great, same goes for the rear camera, it is a compact device, has good battery performance (but not for intense gaming) and the Selfie Master app should prove to be a favourite for selfie lovers and vloggers too.

ASUS is definitely back in the selfie game with the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro. It came a bit late, though, considering that its competitors, namely OPPO and Vivo, have already established a strong presence in the market with their selfie-centric devices. Still, it’s a worthy offering given its slim and premium body, AMOLED display, fun yet capable cameras, and improved ZenUI 4.0.

With how the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s front cameras perform, I can’t help but feel that this is not the best at its price. However, the overhauls and upgrades make it worth looking for those who are willing to shell out more than the usual. With a commanding PhP 18,995, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro’s performance and features fall a bit short but is still reliable for a day-to-day use.

ASUS ZenUI is still on board, and while we’d still prefer a lighter UI overall this year’s iteration is much better compared to the bloat-ware ridden mess last year. There’s only a few additional apps that are installed when we got the device, which makes for a more pleasant experience.

With the Asus ZenFone 4 Selfie, the Selfie series is accessible to a lot of people. Users get a decent front camera and live beautification mode can be useful if you are into vlogging or doing Facebook Live videos. For the price, the ZenFone 4 Selfie has decent hardware, but the performance of the rear camera is below average. If you intend to take a lot of selfies or use the live beautification mode, then the Zenfone 4 Selfie works as a good tool. If you don't mind spending more, the ZenFone 4 Selfie Dual Camera at Rs 14,999 has dual front cameras consisting of one 20-megapixel selfie shooter and another 8-megapixel one with a wide-angle lens. You also get more RAM and storage, though we haven't tested the phone out yet, so we can't speak for its real world performance. If you are on a strict budget and looking for an all-rounder, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review) would be our pick.

The ZenFone 4 Selfie (dual camera version) looks gorgeous, is easy to wield, and includes all the selfie hardware and software prowess an enthusiast could ask for. It beats contemporary selfie experts that are expensive and primarily competing in offline markets – both in terms of features and price. The bottom line is that if you are looking to buy or gift a selfie phone this festival season, the ZenFone 4 Selfie (dual camera version) feels like a great option.

Check out sample shots below.

If you can get past its lackluster design and dated display, you will find a device that performs decently and packs a punch with its selfie capabilities. With similar internals as the Zenfone 4 Max, we’d even go so far as to say that it’s a Zenfone 4 Max with less battery capacity and an improved front camera system. With an SRP of Php13,995, it doesn’t break the bank, but the only way for you to justify purchasing it is if you want an ASUS device that can take great selfies – and in that regard, the Zenfone 4 Selfie is awesome.

If you’re the type who loves taking selfies or taking photos with a big group and you’re looking for a reasonably affordable phone that can capture moments – both in front of you and behind the scenes – then the Zenfone 4 Selfie is a good choice. It’s a pretty good alternative to the slightly more expensive Selfie Pro, which is P5,000 more expensive. But if you can afford it a bit more and you want a phone that can deliver slightly better results, then go ahead and pick the latter.

ASUS made a mistake by not continuing their original ZenFone Selfie when they launched it two years ago. That was an oversight on their part, just as the market for selfie phones exploded thanks to their rivals. ASUS has rectified that mistake, offering an extremely solid selfie offering at Php 13,995. The biggest challenge right now is trying to convince users to shy away from their competitors and see value in the products that they’re offering.

All in all, The Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 4 Pro are both improvements over previous Zenfones. The ZenFone 4, in particular, is a solid option in its price point, so we’re pretty confident in saying that there’s never been a better time to try out a Zenfone – especially if it’s the Zenfone 4.

We like the design and the feel of the Zenfone 4 Pro and the hardware certainly paints in impressive picture. There's some side-stepping you might have to do to tame Zen UI, although Asus has also reduced the bloat in its Android skin - while also promising that there will be an Oreo update coming down the line too.

The global price for the Zenfone 4 Pro has been set at $599 or Php 30,773; expect it to come up a bit more when it hits our shores. Local pricing and availability should be announced on Saturday, so stay tuned.

At RM1099, the ASUS ZenFone 4 Max Pro’s is the clear winner in terms of battery life, no smartphones will of the same class would be able to match its insane standby and usage time, it is therefore a worthy upgrade over the previous ZenFone 3 Max for what it is intended for. However as a ‘Pro’ smartphone, I have expected more than just an increase in battery size, things like the dual camera system is something that I could without, and I would rather trade it off for either Quick Charge 3.0 or a better processor, but let’s face it, there’s no perfect smartphone out there.

The ZenFone 4 Max Pro is basically a slightly better-equipped twin of the ZenFone 4 Max. The “Pro” moniker is just there to emphasize its inclination to mobile photography, hence, the improved camera spec. There’s the Snapdragon 435 but all you’re getting is a faster modem. We’re disappointed that it doesn’t offer anything other than that. ASUS could have justified its existence by equipping it with 64GB of storage to make room for more photos and videos.

Overall, the ASUS ZenFone 4 Max Pro offers a lot more in terms of value for just RM100 more than its predecessor’s initial asking price tag. Granted, you can now get the ZenFone 3 Max for around RM620 or so, but it cannot beat the better battery life and dual-rear and front selfie camera experiences offered by the very much refreshed ZenFone 4 Max Pro. We expect this initial price tag of RM1099 to fall fast as well (update: at the time of writing this review it is now RM979), but the value it offers in terms of features and functions should keep many Malaysians happy.

The Asus ZenFone 4 is something of a Marmite smartphone. Slim, relatively light and possessing an above-average main camera, punchy audio, solid battery life and decent build quality, Asus gets a number of important factors right for this upper-midrange handset. However, the list of potential gripes is equally as long, with the ZenFone 4 outfitted with a slippy back, average screen, and, for the price, only a Snapdragon 630 chipset.

Overall, I really top handset. I’m only sorry that it’s not available on the big networks here in the UK, so you’ll need to go through Amazon or Tesco for £449.99 or perhaps on a plan via Carphone Warehouse. It is a fantastic handset and priced well considering the quality and speed of it.

All in all, it is definitely a good phone for £450. It doesn’t really do anything special, but if you want a solid mid-range phone that doesn’t have any serious weaknesses, the ASUS ZenFone 4 will likely appeal.

All in all, The Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 4 Pro are both improvements over previous Zenfones. The ZenFone 4, in particular, is a solid option in its price point, so we’re pretty confident in saying that there’s never been a better time to try out a Zenfone – especially if it’s the Zenfone 4.

And that's where I feel it comes to a sad conclusion. The ZenFone 4 is an excellent phone, but it's one that many may pass over because of its price. If the ASUS thing takes your fancy, the entry-level ZenFone 4 Max with an enormous battery is £200 less. But at £449, you're paying a fairly high price for a mid-range device. Ultimately, that's where it comes unstuck.

Overall, the ZenFone 4 is still a pretty good phone. My favourite features have to be the beautifully compact design, excellent battery performance and the camera is quite good too and it handles games quite well. The 8MP wide-angle is still okay in certain situations, but seriously, they really need to fix the connectivity performance. You may also find that your ZenFone 4 lags at times, so always be sure to check if there are any software updates because during my three weeks review, I've updated it three times already and I'm sure they will continue to roll out more.

Here’s the thing — the ASUS Zenfone 4 is underrated. People don’t get to see how good it really is because they’re immediately turned off by the price. Other flagship devices are just a few thousand pesos more so it’s hard to not consider other options. The hard reality is that the ZenFone 4 faces a tough competition at its current price point.

Probably doesn't signal the start of an Asus assault on our phone-buying habits, but the ZenFone 4 is perfectly potent - if a little too stuck in its ways when it comes to software.

All-in-all, the Zenfone 4 (SD630) is pretty much similar to its more powerful twin – same attractive and premium build, Super IPS display, and good camera quality. The only difference is the slight decrease in performance. Still, this device is capable of handling multiple tasks and a worthy addition to the Zenfone 4 lineup.

Combining two equally-performing cameras in a 5.5-inch device with a bloatware-free ZenUI and a good battery life to boot, the ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie Lite has something good to offer with its Php7,995 price tag. The device itself is a testament that the company can bring down the now-premium ZenFone device line to the lower mid-range smartphone wars by offering something that could be your choice this holiday season.

The Verizon exclusive Asus ZenFone V has a sleek build and specs that pack a punch for a very affordable price.

Asus has created a phone that could only compete on Verizon's tiny roster. At Big Red, you can still get an iPhone 6s for $70 more or the Moto Z2 Play for $20 more, both of which will offer better battery life and are likely to take better photos. In totality, though, the differences between these three phones aren't huge. If you're a Verizon customer, you will be getting a lot of value for $380, as the Asus Zenfone V is a premium-looking device with fast internals, but just don't be surprised if your friends on other networks lord their superior OnePlus or Honor devices over you.

Would I recommend the Zenfone V for the budget conscious consumer? Absolutely, but… It doesn’t live in a vacuum. For a few dollars more, Verizon’s Moto Z2 Play has a better AMOLED screen, more premium aluminum build and support for a growing number of Moto Mods. Best Buy is currently offering last year’s Galaxy S7 edge for only $14.99/mo, which is a much more premium device for less than the Zenfone V. Unlocked Motorola phones like the Moto G5 Plus are more than $100 less outright (with lesser specs to match).

As similar as many phones look and feel these days, there's typically one quality you can point to that a handset does particularly well, that differentiates it from its competitors. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find it in the ZenFone Max Plus.

It’s a great choice for people looking for a decent phone under the Php 12, 000 price tag. Well, it can do every mundane stuff and has dual cameras, an 18:9 display, a decent battery life, and both fingerprint scanner and face unlock – all of that for just Php 11,995.

The Zenfone Max Plus is certainly a strong contender despite its late arrival to the 18:9 train, although that late arrival also brings with it missed opportunities and a few hiccups. The device offers decent performance along with an above average display, respectable cameras, a clean UI with appreciated features, and an immersive audio experience when plugged. Not to mention it also has a thin, light and sturdy frame.

On paper, the Asus Zenfone Max Plus M1 checks most boxes that make it a pretty good option for those looking for less than Php 12,000. You’ve got an 18:9 display with great pixel density, an improvement on its dual cameras, premium build quality, and great battery life that makes it live up to its given name as the Taiwanese company’s Battery King. The chink in its armor is the MediaTek processor that may leave heavier users wanting a bit more power under the hood, so keep your usage habits in mind if you are looking to pick up the M1.

That’s pretty much it for our unboxing. No price has been set for the ZenFone Max Plus M1, though we really are hoping ASUS prices this thing correctly compared to its competition. The mid-range, 18:9 market has been especially vicious in the past few months – ASUS really has to set a good pace in terms of pricing at the start of the year to gather momentum.

For a battery-centric smartphone under Php8k, the Zenfone 4 Max Lite is definitely one of the entry-level devices that we will put on our recommended list. It has decent camera quality and long battery life. While it is a toned-down version of the Zenfone 4 Max, the performance is sub-par but it can be used as a device for streaming videos, browsing online, and playing light-to-moderate games. Overall, this smartphone is a good traveling companion or when going on hikes thanks to its long battery life.

When I review entry-level phones, I don't expect much and I'm conscious of the fact that I'm not the target audience. But even with that in mind, and taking into consideration its affordable S$258 price tag and great battery life, the ZenFone 4 Max is hard to recommend. When even the S$150 Nokia 2 has an aluminum frame on it, there's absolutely no reason why the ZenFone 4 Max should be entirely plastic. The year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 costs S$1 more than the ZenFone 4 (you can actually find it much cheaper now) and boasts a full metal build, a larger, higher resolution display, a better rear camera, a more powerful processor, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity.

Asus ZenFone 5Z ZS620KL
One could argue that the Asus Zenfone series was one of the pioneers in the affordable smartphone category. The Zenfone 2, in particular, sparked the “Cheap and Good” trend among smartphones. But with so much competition from various Chinese companies, Asus has been losing its market share in this category since the Zenfone 3. The Zenfone 5 is set to make a comeback for Asus into the top seller league. As with previous generations, Asus has used the same name for all their 2018 models. They all sit under the Zenfone 5 name, but defer in terms of target buyers and specs. The Zenfone 5Z sits at the top of the chain of 2018 models. Covering almost the entire frontal part of the phone is a 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels. The display has quite high brightness and is really good, despite not being an AMOLED display. It comes in the latest 19:9 aspect ratio, and the top part has a notch that covers a slight portion of the display. Just like the iPhone X, Huawei P20 Pro and various other new devices, the notch takes a bit of time to get used to. However, it is necessary to maximize the display on a smaller device. The body of the Zenfone 5Z is made of aluminium and glass, giving it a sleek and neat look. The back of the device has a metal shine to it. The entire phone weighs 155 grams and measures 7.9 mm in thickness.
The smartphone comes with the latest processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 845, also seen in most of the current flagship devices such as the OnePlus 6 and Samsung Galaxy S9. The processor is paired with an Adreno 630 GPU, ready for some serious gaming. The Zenfone 5Z comes with various memory configurations to choose from. For built-in memory, buyers can choose between 64 GB, 128 GB and even 256 GB of storage. This is paired with either 4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. The second sim-card slot of this phone can be used to expand the device’s storage by up to 512 GB. In the camera department, the Zenfone 5Z comes with a dual-camera setup consisting of a 12MP and an 8MP shooter. It features dual LED flash, 4K video recording and HDR mode. The selfie camera is a single 8MP unit with Full-HD video recording capabilities. Initial reports on the cameras are not so great when compared to other flagship devices. However, this could improve with some app updates. Other features of the device include the latest Bluetooth 5.0, which allows multiple simultaneous connections; a rear mounted fingerprint sensor; USB Type-C for charging and data transfer; and a 3300mAh battery to power it all. The Zenfone 5Z is also equipped with two speakers for clearer and richer sound effect and a traditional 3.5mm earphone jack for personal music playback. Like its predecessors, the Zenfone 5Z has managed to squeeze a lot into a very affordable price tag. However, the competition is tough, and there are many other choices out there from Xiaomi, Huawei, OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo that can come close to it.

The ZenFone 5Z was clearly aimed to kill the “flagship killer,” the OnePlus 6. At 29,999 (~$430) rupees in India for the base variant, it undercuts the OnePlus 6 by a big 5,000 rupees. With the performance it pulls, the base variant is good enough for most people.

Like we said earlier, Asus’ 'Make in India' plans seem to be slowly bearing fruits in the form of competitive price tags for its devices. This not just brings the brand back into the race but also makes it grab the pole position in the Rs 30,000-Rs 40,000 segment. At the given price, you get a smartphone that has a flagship processor, good cameras, above-average performance, a decent display and a package that is value for money. So, in all we can say: This actually kills the 'flagship killer'.

With the Zenfone 5Z, ASUS is taking the fight to the competition. This is a really good phone at an exceptionally good price and OnePlus should be worried. Is it better than the OnePlus 6? Not quite. The camera still needs a bit of work. The display is no slouch but is just very slightly superseded by the one on the OnePlus 6. All of that can easily be negated though if you are on a budget. Priced under Rs. 30,000, the Asus Zenfone 5Z is exceptional value for money and gives you so much for phone for your buck.

We suggest you wait for our full review before you commit to getting one, but if you really want one you can head over here to pre-order your own until June 17. You’ll be getting a couple of freebies with the phone, specifically a soft case, JBL T450 headset and a ZenPower Slim 3000 power bank with every purchase. The phone is priced at an affordable 29,995.

At this point, the upcoming OnePlus 6 has quite a lot of catching up to do because if the Mi Mix 2s doesn't come to Malaysia in June, the ZenFone 5Z will take over the mantle of flagship killer instead, especially as rumours from industry experts indicate that ASUS could have learned their lesson from the previously somewhat overpriced ZenFone 4 series. This could mean that they'll be bringing in their 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version or that the price for the ZenFone 5Z could actually dip below RM2K. How much do you think the ASUS ZenFone 5Z will cost in Malaysia? How much would you pay for it? Stay tuned to TechNave.com.

Tempting pricing is what probably raises the potential for success of the new Asus Zenfones. The Zenfone 5 and 5z impress with notched full-screens and well-specked main camera, while the Lite model has not three but four cameras and a trendy screen. The Max (M1) brings long-lasting Oreo experience and dual-camera on the cheap.

In retrospect, the new ZenFone 5 phones are really Asus’ most exciting phones yet. They’re well-designed – albeit not very original – they look and feel premium, and their software is quite possibly Asus’ most polished version of Android yet.

The Zenfone 5Z is, without question, the most impressive smartphone that Asus has ever put out. Yes, it may look like an iPhone X knock-off at first glance, but look under the hood and you'll find one of MWC's most impressive smartphones.

As was the case with some previous generations, for this fifth generation Asus ZenFone, the focus is on the cameras. With AI support for everything possible—even the ringtone—and Corning Gorilla Glass covering both sides, buyers should find themselves holding a high-performance, intelligent and rugged smartphone with a dual camera. Read on to find out what level of performance you can expect of this new ZenFone.

All in all, I would definitely recommend the ZenFone 5 to anybody looking for a smartphone in the mid-range segment, especially those looking for a device that strikes a balance between performance, entertainment, and smarpthone photography.

At £349.99, the ZenFone 5 is a very solid option to have. Its new design is predictable, but it brings a flagship feel to the phone without adding several hundred pounds to the price tag. It is also £100 cheaper, at launch, than the ZenFone 4 – a smart move which confirms the ZenFone series as a low-to-mid range family, a position I think it is best suited to compete from.

If you’ve yet to encounter an Asus’ smartphone, the ZenFone 5 might be the device with which to jump on-board. That’s not to say you should leap without trepidation, however.

The Asus ZenFone 5 is a bit of an enigma. On the outside it looks like a pretty standard handset, but it starts to reveal more as you delve into what's on offer. The various elements under the AI banner are often scattered across different settings, which is a missed opportunity. Asus should bring them together somewhere, even though they aren't really deal-makers.

The ZenFone 5 is an attractive package at an attractive price. It's far enough away from the likes of the OnePlus 6 to be a contender in a true mid-range price bracket, and while questions linger over future software support, the ZenFone 5 is mostly a winner.

Asus is no stranger to the smartphone industry’s unforgiving flagship segment. The Taiwanese phone maker has tried its hand at the higher end market by releasing a medley of more expensive variants. However, that didn’t pan out quite as the company hoped it would. Affordability was the key reason Asus’ phones took off and that image didn’t sit well as Asus shifted gears towards the premium league. Now, with a budget hit (ZenFone Max Pro M1) at its back and a seemingly better strategy in place, Asus is ready to make a comeback. And its kicking things off with the new ZenFone 5Z.

So, did ASUS manage to pull off an AI-driven cameraphone for the midrange? With a super affordable price of RM1299 for the ASUS ZenFone 5 ZE620KL the short answer is a resounding YES! Thanks to the better rounded video features and new AI Scene Detection the ZenFone 5 ZE620KL delivers a more complete AI-driven cameraphone experience but again it is something that could still do with a bit more fine tuning (something ASUS could probably do with coming updates).

Asus isn’t the only company experimenting with AI optimisations, however. HTC and Huawei have also been pushing the tech for a while now. But if the features operate in the way that Asus is claiming, then the ZenFone 5 could carve a unique place for itself in the mid-range market, where currently camera performance is still very hit-and-miss.

The ASUS ZenFone series first earned its reputation by having phones with good specs at reasonable price tags. The ZenFone 5 (ZE620KL) is certainly one of those devices. For under Php20K, it offers a large high-resolution display, powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset, 4GB of RAM, good dual-rear cameras, and Android Oreo out of the box. The company may have flopped with the ZenFone 4, but with the ZenFone 5, it looks like they’re getting back on track.

After two years of pricing mis-steps, ASUS finally has a solid mid-range offering in the ZF5. Retailing at just under 20K at Php 19,995, the ZF5 is worthy comeback phone for the Taiwanese brand that has managed to rekindle the old flame that many of its previous (and current) users felt when they first announced the ZF2 and ZF2 Deluxe. The design may have been heavily influenced by a more premium brand, but there’s no denying the value that consumers get at the price point.

ASUS uses a combination of 52 different expressions to mimic yours, and it can also be used in video calls or live streams on social media. The company doesn't use a 3D depth camera for this, and it's instead trained its algorithm on hundreds of thousands of 2D faces with different expressions, lighting conditions, and angles. The algorithm then makes use of this data to approximate a 3D model of your face.

The ZenFone 5Z will retail for €479, so ASUS is looking to be one of the most affordable flagships with a Snapdragon 845 SoC. The 5Z is slated to be available in June.

Tempting pricing is what probably raises the potential for success of the new Asus Zenfones. The Zenfone 5 and 5z impress with notched full-screens and well-specked main camera, while the Lite model has not three but four cameras and a trendy screen. The Max (M1) brings long-lasting Oreo experience and dual-camera on the cheap.

We're expecting the ASUS ZenFone 5 ZE620KL, ZenFone 5Z ZS620KL and ZenFone 5 Lite ZC600KL to arrive in Malaysia in late March to April 2018. If the ZenFone 5Z comes in priced around RM2200 with a Snapdragon 845 processor, would you get it? Anyone interested in the other two ZenFone 5 smartphones?

Finally, there's AI Charging, which will learn from how you charge your phone to help preserve the battery in the long term. For example, if you often keep your phone plugged in overnight, AI Charging will top it up to 80 percent and keep it there until early in the morning, before bringing it all the way to full just before you wake up, which Asus claims could as much as double the battery's lifespan.

Asus has made an incredibly beautiful looking device here and if the pricing is right, it could be a flagship competitor to watch out for. That said, it does look like one particular phone already on the market.

In retrospect, the new ZenFone 5 phones are really Asus’ most exciting phones yet. They’re well-designed – albeit not very original – they look and feel premium, and their software is quite possibly Asus’ most polished version of Android yet.

The ZenFone 5 won't be to everyone's taste, but the design is excellent and there's some great tech at work here. We're expecting it to be competitively priced, too.

We’re not yet convinced by the camera scene recognition - it’s something digital cameras have been doing for years, after all - but last year’s ZenFone 4 delivered great photos for the price. Hopefully it’s a case of more of the same for 2018.

In the briefing experience, the ZenFone 5 Lite handled well and once again presented as a much more premium device than the specs would have you expect. The camera and other apps were quick and responsive, and it took excellent pictures — albeit not quite as good as the ZenFone 5.

The ZenFone 5Q, on the other hand, is a “safe” design for a segment that relies on safe choices. It lacks a notch (which in itself is not a bad thing) - but this alone brings up mental images of phones that cost less, of which there are quite a few. Add to this an older version of Android and so-so all-around performance, and it quickly drops to near the bottom of any decision matrix.

With the ZenFone 5Q, Asus has produced yet another reasonable proposition for budget buyers, with speedy performance for the price and a long-lasting (albeit slow-charging) battery. And once again, it's hampered by a laundry list of features that look good on paper but mean almost nothing in the real world.

The Asus Zenfone 5Q turns out to be a pretty solid performer. Asus’s push for capable photography continues to impress us with its results, and efficiency in the OS has led to improved battery life – something Zenfones have shown a distinct need for in the past.

The midnight black color of the Asus ZenFone 5Q is now available for $299, which is about £225 or AU$400. In the US it sells at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H, Newegg and Abt. You can also buy it in moonlight white from Amazon, B&H, and Newegg.

For a mid-range device, the ZenFone 5Q was able to handle almost everything we threw at it thanks to its Snapdragon 630 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The 6-inch 18:9 display offers a good viewing experience which is good for those who like watching movies or playing mobile games. Imaging-wise, it’s promising and good enough for casual users, but as a selfie-oriented smartphone, it failed to impress. Still, we recommend this phone for its merits, especially if it is priced right.

Tempting pricing is what probably raises the potential for success of the new Asus Zenfones. The Zenfone 5 and 5z impress with notched full-screens and well-specked main camera, while the Lite model has not three but four cameras and a trendy screen. The Max (M1) brings long-lasting Oreo experience and dual-camera on the cheap.

Overall, we found the 6GB RAM ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 to be a nice value buy, especially for those who need that longer battery life. The larger memory does mean there’s more storage in the device and the 16MP camera upgrades certainly do help in taking better photos or even selfies. So if you didn’t buy the 3GB RAM version before due to the cameras, RAM or storage, then this 6GB RAM version is definitely the device to get but to know more, we'd suggest reading the 3GB RAM versions review.

Overall, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has very capable set of cameras which won’t disappoint you under well-lit conditions, be it the rear or the front facing shooters. Under low light as well, images look usable, but something like a Redmi Note 5 Pro would serve the purpose better despite having a narrower f/2.2 lens. So, if you’re looking to get the 6GB variant of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and were sceptical about its camera performance, we hope we’ve made your job easier with this review.

I like what Asus has been doing with its smartphone this year. The ZenFone Max Pro M1 with 6GB RAM is a great example that the company has finally understood that people will instantly buy smartphones from good companies if they come with a great performance per rupee value. The Zenfone Max Pro M1 with 6GB RAM does exactly that.

The new 6GB version of the ZenFone Max Pro M1 is an extremely capable smartphone, and is well worth its Rs. 14,999 price tag. Battery life is stellar, performance is great, the software is fluid, and build quality is top-notch. The rear camera setup is also improved, and captures more more detail in all lighting conditions. However, there are a few rough edges. The rear camera's autofocus is unreliable, and the front camera is not really an upgrade compared to the lower-end variants.

Unless you can pick up the ZenFone Max Pro M1 at one of ASUS’ borderline ridiculous flash sales on Lazada. During this sale, the phone will be retailing for just RM599, which at that point is just an absolute no-brainer.

All in all, the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is a worthy upgrade from the ZenFone Max M1. The device produced a vibrant display and it was able to withstand heavy games like Asphalt 8. Furthermore, it was able to take decent photos. The Asus smartphone did great on the battery category as well and it was able to live up to its title. Of course, the final decision will still depend on the user.

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is definitely a commendable mid-range smartphone.

Clearly, the highlights of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 are big 5,000mAh battery and stock Android experience. But it has own demerits and grapples with some major issues. If you just want to buy a phone for a high battery life, Zenfone Max Pro M1 is worth considering. But if you’re looking for a well-packaged phone, Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro are worth considering.

With solid design and solid camera performance, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 won’t turn heads or take excellent photos (unless you’re an experienced photographer like Peter M Tan) but the big battery and RM699 price tag make it a great new entry level device for the new ASUS ZenFones, setting the bar high for other entry-level devices.

The ZenFone Max Pro M1 goes official on May 31st 2018 with an expect retail price of RM699, there is however a 6GB RAM model being mentioned to us during the briefing, which will obviously perform much better than my current review unit with a better main camera system, ASUS is definitely giving Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 a run for its money for what it has done on this phone, especially if you prefer a clean Android experience and want to have that insane battery life.

The last couple of years really saw brands duking it out in the mid-range but we’re seeing the battle spill on to the sub-10k price point as well. While there are a lot of choices to consider in this price bracket, there’s only a handful that offers the same lasting power that the “Battery King” line of devices offer. If you’re looking for a device that has the ability to last a full day without having to top it up with a power bank or a power outlet, the Asus Zenfone Max M1 should definitely make it to your shortlist. On top of that, you’re getting a nice and tall display plus a decent processing package that can still handle the day-to-day and a bit of gaming too.

So here's the thing. If you're planning to buy the Redmi Note 5, you should drop that plan, and get yourself a ZenFone Max Pro M1 instead. If you're planning to buy the Redmi Note 5 Pro, you should go buy it, but make sure you check out Asus' new phone too, just in case. For now, even Asus is selling the ZenFone Max Pro M1 through weekly sales on Flipkart. Like Xiaomi with its Redmi Note 5 Pro. To say that the ZenFone is more readily available than the Redmi won't exactly be fair for now. Both the phones have their own merit, and while I still like the Redmi Note 5 Pro more, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 is the most formidable opponent it can get at this point of time.

The Zenfone Max M1 is yet another device that seems to fall short in delivering on its promises. The phone could’ve easily been a strong contender in the budget segment if not for its disappointing battery.

But it also has its shortcomings such as lack of Corning Glass Protection and oleophobic coating to the display, below par camera and battery experience, which makes us feel that Asus seems to have missed a great opportunity.

The same processor is available in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, but it cost you Rs 14,999 for the 4GB of RAM. The significant change is in the software and the stock Android experience could be a gamechanger for Asus only if it delivers timely updates, which it has promised incidentally. All in all, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro makes a compelling pitch to try the brand if you haven't done it before.

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (ZB601KL) is the latest ZenFone Max model to be released by ASUS. It follows up on the success of the ZenFone Max Plus M1 (ZB570TL) we saw just a few months ago, and directly challenges the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.

The strengths of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 lie with its massive 5000mAh battery and stock Android 8.1 Oreo operating system. With a little better design and camera performance, the handset would truly have been a complete package to break the monopoly of the Xiaomi Redmi Note series in the budget segment. Stopping the Xiaomi juggernaut will require more than this from Asus. Having said that, the handset will pose a serious threat to the Note 5 series and surely gets our stamp of approval.

The sides offer a power button and volume buttons on the right, a dual SIM tray on the left that hooks up a separate microSD card slot. The bottom offers loudspeakers, a micro USB, 3.5 mm headphones jack, and a microphone. On top, there’s a second microphone with no other ports.

To conclude, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) certainly looks a device that could change Asus' faith as it bears some really impressive specs for the price point coupled with some premium looking design and near stock Android experience. The device will surely face a fierce competition with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and from other Chinese players like Infinix, Tecno and more.

The ASUS Zenfone Max Pro (M1) is a well-rounded smartphone where the sum of parts is greater than the whole. It’s a very capable phone, but we need to dive deeper and use it for a longer period with extensive testing before sharing a final verdict on the same. That said, the initial impressions are mostly positive, considering the pretty good pricing.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is an impressive handset that actually competes with the Redmi Note 5, in fact it is much better in almost every area and the price is just Rs. 1000 extra, makes sense to go with the Max Pro M1.

Asus is going to get a lot of attention because of the pricing of the Zenfone Max Pro M1, and it's positioning itself squarely as a Xiaomi killer. The specifications match those of the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but there are a few extra perks such as the bigger battery, dedicated microSD slot, and front flash. However, the prices are more in line with those of the Redmi Note 5, which is one rung lower in Xiaomi's lineup. We also now know what the Moto G6 lineup will be like, and it seems that there won't be any challenge from that corner in terms of specifications, at least.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro can take on the best in the market with ease. Like most Asus phones, the spec-sheet is maxed out with the best mid-range hardware. That includes latest stock Android and a 5,000mAh battery, two features which solve the biggest pain points people tend to have when making a purchase at that price range. The phone even manages to take on the formidable Redmi Note 5 Pro, save for the imaging prowess, but the pros easily outweigh the cons. In all, it’s always good to have a choice of clean stock UI without compromising on the performance.

Also, the reasonable price of the Zenfone Max Pro makes it a favorite in the mid-range smartphone section. You will have to pay Rs.10,999 for a 3GB / 32GB phone and Rs. 12,999 for 4GB / 64GB phone. It would be exclusively available on Flipkart from May 3, 2018.

Asus ZenFone 5Z ZS620KL
One could argue that the Asus Zenfone series was one of the pioneers in the affordable smartphone category. The Zenfone 2, in particular, sparked the “Cheap and Good” trend among smartphones. But with so much competition from various Chinese companies, Asus has been losing its market share in this category since the Zenfone 3. The Zenfone 5 is set to make a comeback for Asus into the top seller league. As with previous generations, Asus has used the same name for all their 2018 models. They all sit under the Zenfone 5 name, but defer in terms of target buyers and specs. The Zenfone 5Z sits at the top of the chain of 2018 models. Covering almost the entire frontal part of the phone is a 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels. The display has quite high brightness and is really good, despite not being an AMOLED display. It comes in the latest 19:9 aspect ratio, and the top part has a notch that covers a slight portion of the display. Just like the iPhone X, Huawei P20 Pro and various other new devices, the notch takes a bit of time to get used to. However, it is necessary to maximize the display on a smaller device. The body of the Zenfone 5Z is made of aluminium and glass, giving it a sleek and neat look. The back of the device has a metal shine to it. The entire phone weighs 155 grams and measures 7.9 mm in thickness.
The smartphone comes with the latest processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 845, also seen in most of the current flagship devices such as the OnePlus 6 and Samsung Galaxy S9. The processor is paired with an Adreno 630 GPU, ready for some serious gaming. The Zenfone 5Z comes with various memory configurations to choose from. For built-in memory, buyers can choose between 64 GB, 128 GB and even 256 GB of storage. This is paired with either 4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. The second sim-card slot of this phone can be used to expand the device’s storage by up to 512 GB. In the camera department, the Zenfone 5Z comes with a dual-camera setup consisting of a 12MP and an 8MP shooter. It features dual LED flash, 4K video recording and HDR mode. The selfie camera is a single 8MP unit with Full-HD video recording capabilities. Initial reports on the cameras are not so great when compared to other flagship devices. However, this could improve with some app updates. Other features of the device include the latest Bluetooth 5.0, which allows multiple simultaneous connections; a rear mounted fingerprint sensor; USB Type-C for charging and data transfer; and a 3300mAh battery to power it all. The Zenfone 5Z is also equipped with two speakers for clearer and richer sound effect and a traditional 3.5mm earphone jack for personal music playback. Like its predecessors, the Zenfone 5Z has managed to squeeze a lot into a very affordable price tag. However, the competition is tough, and there are many other choices out there from Xiaomi, Huawei, OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo that can come close to it.

After a series of lackluster ZenFone sales, Asus launched the ZenFone 5Z in July this year to appeal to those who value flagship-grade performance at an affordable price. The ZenFone 5Z goes against the reigning flagship-killer champion, the OnePlus 6, and it offers a similar feature set for much less dough. Does the ZenFone 5Z have what it takes to be a worthy contender to the OnePlus 6 or has Asus cut deep corners to reach more pockets? Let's find out.
Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ZB602KL
The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ZB602KL is under the most popular series of smartphones ASUS has ever produced, and for very good reasons. They are mid-range smartphones with good performance and an incredible battery life. Featuring a massive 5000 mAh battery, the latest midrange Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, pure or stock Android and more, this new disruptive device could shake the foundations of the value market. Going for a metal body much like the previous ZenFone Max Plus M1, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 features a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display. Because the bezels are very slim, this results in a tall and slim device that fits quite comfortably one handed. The matte back is a bit slippery though, so a user might want to slap on the extra value bundled casing. Turning on the device, a user is introduced with the super crisp 5.99″ display with FHD+ resolution. The display is very beautiful. In fact, it doesn’t look like this device even belongs in the tier it says it is. The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is the only device in its class with a 1,500:1 contrast ratio. 450 nits brightness and 404 PPI pixel density do additional justice in delivering the vivid finishing. On the front of the screen, there are no more physical capacitive buttons, instead, the navigation keys swipe up. Also on the front is an 8 MP front camera while a rear fingerprint sensor is on the back, with no stretch required. The ZenFone Max Pro M1 still packs in a 3.5 mm audio jack but still offers a micro-USB port on the bottom. On the back in the top left corner, there is a slightly raised dual rear camera hump, 13 MP for this version (16 MP for the higher-end versions) with the second 5 MP camera sensor taking the depth effect or Bokeh (a blurry background effect) data. There are no gaps in the build and the smartphone feels solidly built. It's a nice design, but it probably won’t turn heads a second time though. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 clocked at 1.8 GHz bears 4 performance cores and 4 power saving cores constructed around 14 nm lithography which used to be something that was once hogged by the high-end smartphone devices. If a user is just a couple of generations behind, this will be a massive upgrade without burning user’s pockets, that’s for sure. Overall, Asus has done a very good job with the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, offering an affordable yet midrange device dedicated to long-lasting performance and gaming. The ZenFone Max Pro M1 won’t turn heads or take excellent photos but the big battery and price tag make it a great new entry-level device for the new Asus ZenFones, setting the bar high for other entry-level devices.

The lack of NFC lets the phone down but if this isn’t important to you then the combination of large screen, amazing battery life and stock Android Oreo should be enough for you to consider if you want to spend as little as possible on a smartphone.

Asus Zenfone Lite L1 comes with good display, imaging sensor and battery backup, which is good to see at the price. However, 2GB RAM on the phone might just not be enough if you are into downloading and testing new apps more often. This budget smartphone from Asus is ideal for those who want a device to run casual tasks that include a few phone calls, taking a few selfies in between and texting on WhatsApp.

The Asus ZenFone Lite L1 is priced aggressively at Rs. 6,999 but is available for Rs. 5,999 during Flipkart Festive Dhamaka Days sale. The Snapdragon 430 is slow compared to the newer processors that are available in other phones in the market, and the 2GB of RAM creates another bottleneck holding this phone back from delivering a fluid experience. If you are on a strict budget, you might want to consider the Xiaomi Redmi 6A (Review) instead, otherwise we would recommend that you put in a little more money and opt for the ZenFone Max M1 (Review) instead or look at other alternatives like the Realme C1 ₹ 6,999 (Review).

Zenfone Lite L1 seems to be an interesting smartphone which comes with all the basic things, which is required for first-time smartphone users.

The Asus ZenFone Max M1 comes loaded with a good design language and the display looks bright. The user interface is clean and the battery performance is on par with the rest of the competition. However, using a chipset of 2015 has its own share of hits and miss. It would have been better if the company opted for an advance chipset like a MediaTek Helio P22, which is present in Lenovo K9 and Xiaomi Redmi 6, or even Snapdragon 435. Event Realme is offering a better Snapdragon 450 chipset with its Realme C1 budget offering. The camera needs some fine tuning and overall, if you are considering to buy this smartphone, then you should check for its competition first.

The Zenfone Max Pro M2’s great entertainment focused system with improved display technology and superb speaker system is unparalleled when compared to any smartphones in this price range. If you enjoy using your smartphone to watch movies or just to browse YouTube, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a good choice. In terms of performance, we found that the Zenfone Max Pro M2’s was slightly faster than the HONOR 10 Lite, but this does not justify the additional $S60 price tag. If you are willing to spend this extra money for a all-rounder in this price range, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 will be a good choice.

Overall, the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a good upgrade to the Max Pro M1 when is comes to performance and camera at an additional cost of Rs. 2000 compared to the predecessor. Even though this doesn’t have the same metal build, the design looks attractive. However, it misses out on the USB Type-C port and fast charging once again. If you are looking for a smartphone with good battery life and performance in the price range, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 at a starting price of Rs. 12999 is definitely a good choice. The phone is available exclusively from Flipkart.

You can probably tell by now that the ZenFone Max Pro M2 has a towering lead when it comes to battery size and as mentioned before, that is indeed its biggest feature. If battery life is all that matters to you, then the ZenFone Max Pro M2 is your best bet, and you won't be making any major compromises in other areas with it. However, if you want a better camera, or more powerful performance, or more feature-rich software experience, there are a lot of other choices out there, which are worth considering.

I honestly didn't want to be harsh on this phone but facts are facts. I personally think ASUS might have shot themselves in the foot for "rushing" this too soon (the predecessor was only released back in July 2018) due to competition which is understandable. If anything, the price tag itself is still a good reason to get the phone, but not so much for gaming purpose. Just my two cents.

There’s no doubt that Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) builds on the success of its earlier variant. The starting price is Rs 12,999 for the 3GB RAM option, though we had the 4GB RAM option for review. Asus is also offering a 6GB RAM variant at Rs 16,999 for those who are interested.

Priced at Rs 14,999 for the 4GB RAM/64GB storage variant, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 has more than cosmetic upgrades over predecessor Zenfone Max Pro M1. Except for camera performance, where it delivers better results than the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Realme 2 Pro but fails to match the output of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, the M2 beats most smartphones in its segment. However, the phone would turn out to be a complete package only if its imaging output is improved through future software upgrades.

Still, at Rs 12,999 for 3 GB/ 32 GB, Rs 14,999 for 4 GB/ 64 GB and Rs 16,999 for the 6 GB/ 64 GB variants, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 is very competitively priced. However, it faces a lot of competition and some would say it does not feel as irresistible a deal as the M1 had (it started at Rs 10,999), especially considering that the Redmi Note 6 Pro starts at Rs 13,999 for the 4 GB/ 64 GB variant, and comes with better cameras and software. There are also the likes of the Realme 2 Pro, the Honor 8X and the Nokia 6.1 Plus which match it in terms of style quotient. The Pro M2 thus has a much tougher path to navigate than its predecessor did. That said, it is one of the best blends of style and substance we have seen at its price point. If the camera is not very critical for you, and you can put up with a slightly old flavor of Android (albeit a very clean one), this is, as they like to say in Hollywood, a contender.

The ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is the first ZenFone to use the eye-catching Wave finish — a dynamic optical finish exquisitely created using a glossy 16-layer coating — that looks beautiful from every angle, showing an ever-changing interplay of light and shade. The 3D-curved rear design is not only comfortable to hold, but also gives it a truly luxurious look, and even with all its new upgrades the phone is still superbly slim.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 has all the elements of a reliable, powerful mid-ranger. It's for those who want a steady performer that can both handle the daily tasks and heavy gaming and lasts long thanks to a massive 5,000mAh battery. It's also a good device to stream videos on. However, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 doesn't have the best camera on offer in that price range. It also has clean stock Android UI which may not ring well with fans of custom launchers like MIUI or ColorOS. Read the review below to find out how the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 square up against its rivals.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is surely an upgrade to the Zenfone Max Pro M1. The smartphone comes loaded with a new design language and the performance is better as compared to its predecessor. The battery is impressive and the user interface is clean. The cameras could have been better and there is no option to hide the notch. Overall, if you looking to buy a new smartphone and your budget is around Rs 15,000 then this can be considered as a good option.

For a phone that starts at Rs 12,999, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is by far the most well-rounded smartphone you can get your hands on. Barring camera performance, where the Redmi Note 6 Pro beats it, the phone outclasses and outlasts every other phone under Rs 15,000, making it a great all-rounder with best in class battery life.

The overall experience with the Zenfone Max Pro M2 has been absolutely great. From camera to day-long battery, Asus’ latest handset gets most of the things right for its price point. If you’re looking for a phone under Rs 16,000 in India, Asus’ Max Pro M2 is definitely worth considering.

The specs are pretty good, price is too good, design is awesome, camera quality is excellent and battery life is awesome. A really good buy for price starting from Rs. 12,999. If you are not a gaming user you can go with 3GB/32GB variant.

I think the Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a fantastic phone. It's just that when compared to the likes of the Nokia 6.1 Plus, Xiaomi Mi A2 and Redmi Note 6 Pro, it is not an all-out winner. It's as good as what the other companies offer, not more not less. Just like other phones in the market, it has its strong points, and it has some parts that could have been better. For example, it has better hardware than the Nokia 6.1 Plus, but not the better design or the Android 9 Pie. In terms of camera, I believe the Redmi Note 6 Pro is better, but then the Zenfone Max Pro M2 comes with stock Android (a big advantage, I will say) as well as a better battery life.

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 has some big shoes to fill, as it predecessor, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 has been a strong presence in this segment. Asus has definitely got our attention by giving this phone a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and a big 5000mAh battery.

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 is another phone that is competing for a slice of the mid-dange pie. It’s been marketed pretty aggressively as a competitor to the Realme 2 Pro that was released not too long ago, so it will be interesting to see if it stands up to its claims. We would really love to put it through its paces as well, given the opportunity.

Now, for a quick review, this was already pretty comprehensive and the reasons that we couldn’t call this a full review was because of the pre-release software on the phone plus the fact that, as of writing this article, we don’t know the official price tag of the Max Pro M2 just yet. We’ve heard whispers and have even seen its price released in Russia that amounts to about Php 14,000.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 seems to be a pretty interesting device. The phone is equipped with a new design language, which has now become a standard in this price band coupled with some good display. The computing power seems to be competitive and it would be interesting to see whether it will be able to compete with likes of Realme 2 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, and the other Pros from different smartphone manufacturers.

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 is definitely an upgrade from the half-a-year-old ZenFone Max Pro M1. It provides better performance, cameras, and audio. However, the battery life did not meet our expectations. Given the large capacity, I feel like it should have lasted longer. We hope that this can improve with some software updates.

Asus announced the budget-oriented ZenFone Max (M2) smartphone in India last month targeting the sub-US$150 user who wants a capable smartphone that gets the basics right. The Max (M2) comes with decent specs and significant improvements over its predecessor, the ZenFone Max (M1). However, does the Max (M2) have what it takes to compete against similar offerings from the likes of Xiaomi, Honor, and Realme? Let's find out in our hands-on review.

ASUS' execution with the Zenfone Max M2 is the most value-driven move we've seen on a smartphone so far. It lives to its name by giving you more than a day's worth of power without the necessary sacrifice on performance. Whether it be gaming or just extensive media consumption, the Zenfone Max M2 delivers the perfect deal thanks to its updated Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor, stock Android experience, refreshed design and its 4,000mAh battery.

The ASUS ZenFone Max (M2) has an inferior chipset – the Snapdragon 632 – which under-performs in games, making it unsuitable to be called a “next-generation gaming” phone. The 720p display is not only low in resolution, but the colors are washed out too. It does have an extra gigabyte of RAM and has better camera lenses compared to the Max Pro (M1), but the quality is still poor.

The ZenFone Max M2 definitely leaves me with a good impression overall, especially in the performance aspect. It has a good screen size but with only HD+ resolution, great brightness range, decent sound quality, decent camera quality at good lighting conditions, and longer lasting battery life as compared with the Max M1.

We’re not going to lie. There are definitely a ton of solid options if you’re looking for a phone for less than Php 10,000. Some definitely have more muscle under the hood than the M2 but the main selling point for the Battery Kings of Asus are their lasting power and they’ve never disappointed on that end. It’s got enough juice to last for hours of gameplay if you treat your phone as a handheld console and even longer if you use your device primarily for social media purposes. There are compromises to the Asus Zenfone Max M2 but if battery life is your priority it’s definitely worth your consideration.

The problem, however, is that at a starting price of Rs 9,999, it finds itself in a zone where it needs to be a deal maker much more than a deal breaker. And it is here that things go wrong. For while the Max M2 does not get too much wrong, it does not deliver top of the line performance or features in any department either. There are phones that look better and perform better than it at a price point that is similar or just slightly above it, and the biggest examples of it are perhaps the Zenfone Max Pro M1 and the Redmi Note 6 Pro. The Zenfone Max M2 does not do too much wrong, but its fault is that it is not exceptional in its zone either. And perhaps it was designed that way – to be someone that props up its Pro cousin without overshadowing it. Or at least that’s how it strikes us.

On the whole, Asus Zenfone Max M2 at a starting price of Rs. 9,999 is a potential smartphone apart from a few nitpicks. This device offers a large decent screen, upgraded processor, and a huge battery. While the camera may not be great, it is decent for the price, but the company could have offered Full HD+ screen instead of HD+ screen. It is available at an offer price of Rs. 9,499 from Flipkart for a limited period.

Juicing up the phone is a 4000mAh battery. While that’s less than the previous model that Asus released, we’re guessing coupling it with the power-efficient SD632 plus that 720p display should give it a ton of lasting power as well. We’ll run more test to confirm but it should be capable of lasting at least a day and a half or maybe even two days.

This is where the phone truly succeeds, the phone provides a great amalgamation of user experience, performance and battery life to the buyer.

The Asus Zenfone Max M2 result is a mixed bag. The phone offers some good computing power and the battery is impressive. The user interface is smooth, though there is a need to adding some extra features. The display is average, though the cameras are a big let down. Overall, the smartphone seems to be a decent option, if you are ready to compromise on the camera front.

However, the biggest threat the Max M2 is its own big brother -- the Zenfone Max Pro M1. At almost a similar price, the Max Pro M1 offers the more potent Snapdragon 636 chipset, a full HD+ display and a bigger 5000mAh battery. Asus is aware of that and hence positions the Max M2 for those who want the notched display over a powerful chip. I can't figure out why users should choose a big display over a more well-rounded smartphone. Till the ZenFone Max Pro M1 stays in the market, the Max M2 can be a tough sell.

It’s hard to find fault within the ZenFone Max M2. It may not look too different from the previous model, but it is so much better in many ways – a better display, dual rear cameras, an improved processor and much more.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 ZB630KL
The Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is a mid-range smartphone with great appearance and features. It is a masterpiece of design with a seamless appearance and a truly luxurious feel. The new back cover design on the ZenFone Max Pro is sure to grab attention. The eye-catching Wave finish looks beautiful from every angle, showing an ever-changing interplay of light and shade. It may look sleek, but the battery inside the ZenFone Max Pro is big. Its 5.000 mAh high-capacity battery has the stamina to endure longer than ever thought possible: lose themselves in non-stop gaming, immerse in endless movies, or just browse or talk for as long as users want. The ZenFone Max Pro is powered by the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform, incorporating the Qualcomm AI Engine, for smooth, responsive and power-efficient performance. It gives the ZenFone Max Pro effortless power, delivering the ultimate experience for mobile gaming and multitasking, and making it easy to achieve whatever user want to do. The ZenFone Max Pro has a 6.3” all screen FHD+ display with a resolution of 2,280 x 1,080 pixels. The high-quality display, with its wide 94 % color gamut, 450 nits outstanding brightness and a 1,500:1 high contrast ratio, makes everything on the phone look clearer and more vivid. Besides that, the ZenFone Max Pro is the first ZenFone to use the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6, which is designed to withstand multiple 1-meter drops. This protection isn’t even included in some of the most expensive flagships at the moment. The dual-camera system in the ZenFone Max Pro uses high-end hardware to take photography to new heights. With its high-resolution, incredibly light-sensitive Sony IMX486 sensor, ZenFone Max Pro takes any subject in its stride, so user will enjoy more-realistic photos at any time of day or night. Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) get rid of camera shake for blur-free handheld shots and videos, with accurate focusing on any subject. For gorgeous portraits and close-ups, the second camera on the ZenFone Max Pro uses depth-sensing technology to create an artistic ‘bokeh’ effect, putting the subject in sharp focus while blurring the background. The intelligent dual-camera system in ZenFone Max Pro is quite advanced. With advanced AI Scene Detection, user can concentrate on the subject, and get perfect results every time. The ZenFone Max Pro revolutionizes mobile photography, giving user a simpler, smarter way to capture and share every magic moment. For a superb audio experience, the ZenFone Max Pro uses a five-magnet speaker with a metal voice coil, driven by a powerful NXP low-distortion smart amplifier that delivers powerful, detailed and crystal-clear sound. As a conclusion, the ZenFone Max Pro is certainly an improved version of its predecessor, ZenFone Max Pro (M1). Besides that, it is also budget friendly, thus suitable for users who have a lower budget, but still want a decent performing smartphone, especially on camera.

Starting at 12,999 rupees in India, and about $320 in the U.S. via Amazon, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a well-rounded affordable smartphone that punches above its weight. There are upgrades across the board from the last generation. Asus really moved the line forward, rather than adding small iterative changes.

If long-lasting battery life is a priority when you choose a smartphone in the mid-range scene, then we can definitely recommend giving the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 a look. It’s what the Max line from Asus has always promised and it’s what the Max Pro M2 delivers with a bit more oomph under the hood too.

If you're on a tight budget for your next phone purchase, and you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, right now, there's no better purchase than the Max Pro M2 - if it gets stocked in retail.

Asus ZenFone 6 ZS630KL
The ZenFone lineup from the Asus brand has been a commonly spoken name since its first-generation announcement back in 2014. It is one of the pioneering smartphone models which had propelled Android smartphones to the status of relevance and popularity they have acquired in this day and era. Establishing itself as one of the forefathers of the Android movement, Asus continues to shoulder the responsibility to cater to modern societal needs and thus unveiled the sixth generation ZenFone with a unique take on some of its core features. The Asus ZenFone 6 shines under the glimmer of light with two color options – Midnight Black and Twilight Silver. It features an all-screen NanoEdge display measuring up to a total of 6.4 inches with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 92 percent. The frontal display alone rivals those hailing from the Apple brand such as iPhone X and iPhone Xs. The absence of punch-holes and notches renders the main screen as immaculate as possible. On top of that, the screen is protected by the extraordinarily tough Gorilla Glass 6 from the Apple-approved Corning brand. Users will not see nary a crack anytime soon while being able to immerse themselves in the wonders of the ZenFone 6’s ingenious display. The Asus ZenFone 6 garnered global recognition and hype through the debut of its Flip Camera. The Flip Camera is a design borne from the idea of reducing bezels in order to create the ultimate all-screen frontal display. This Flip Camera is not simply a gimmick nor a marketing ploy – it is a dual camera setup which can be rotated to the front to assume the role of a selfie camera. The Liquidmetal construct permits the rotation to be carried out and controlled through the usage of a stepper motor. In layman’s term, this understandably translates into the fact that the advanced materials that are used in constructing the Flip Camera are alloys of the light but tough variety, which is facilitated through the incorporation of an interior motor to control its movement without the risk of jamming or breaking. The introduction of the Flip Camera as a bold move-away from traditional mobile photography does not suggest that Asus has resorted into cutting some corners. The dual camera setup, rather surprisingly, is equipped with a 48 MP main camera and a 13 MP secondary camera. The surprises do not stop there, as these cameras also support the flagship Sony IMX586 sensor, which functions as a superb motion tracker, and also the Quad Bayer technology for large-pixel levels of light sensitivity. Needless to say, Asus went all out with the camera aspect of the ZenFone 6, and it is by far, one of the most impressive efforts to be seen on an Android smartphone to this date.

The previous year's model was already a solid budget flagship phone - even if the actual release took some time. Now, it's successor is here, offering powerful technological advancements, an innovative flip camera and a large battery. We will ascertain whether or not this is sufficient in the following test.

For $499, the Asus Zenfone 6 is an absolute steal. Many flagships costing $1,000 or more don’t offer the number of features found in the Zenfone 6. Moreover, the new user interface makes this phone a joy to use. The Zenfone 6 may not have wireless charging or an official water resistance certification, but it does have many things that people care about, and even more features power users will appreciate. The headphone jack, expandable storage, notification LED, and quick actions toggle are all nice extras. These features sit on a strong foundation set by the Snapdragon 855 processor and healthy dose of RAM. It’s hard not to recommend this device at the price.

Every phone manufacture is chasing the fully notch-less display but there’s always something that’s been in the way – the camera. ASUS may have just found a way around this issue. The ZenFone 6 by ASUS features a beautiful 6.4” notch-less display whilst maintaining a fully functional front facing camera with a trick. The dual cameras found on this phone are mechanically able to flip around to face you but this does come with a few disadvantages. Is this feature a game changer or a gimmick?

The Asus 6z is a solid follow-up to last year’s Zenfone 5z. Asus has utilized the strength of its engineering department to come up with the flip camera that offers selfies in a quality that no other smartphone can offer today. It offers a far more refined OS than previous seen on an Asus smartphone, one which is fast, smooth and impressively close to the feel of stock Android. The battery life on this phone is exceptional, and the performance doesn’t leave room for complaints. However, the Asus 6z fails to deliver a “wow” factor, that would set the experience of using the Asus 6z, or even owning the 6z apart from any other phone in this price segment. In reality, the best reason to go for the 6z over anything else in its class is the price of the smartphone, its combined performance metrics and the fact that it has a headphone jack. If you’re on a budget and can’t really up-spend on a OnePlus 7T, the Asus 6z really is a very good alternative.

My first impressions of the ZenFone 6 are resoundingly positive. I wish I could have spent a lot more time with the device, and I can’t wait to use it as my daily driver. I was mesmerized by the notchless, bezeless display and I can’t wait to become a true selfie king. While the ZenFone 6 lacks features like an on-screen fingerprint scanner and the best display, these shortcomings likely helped keep the phone’s cost under $1,000 CAD. Speaking of price, Asus has priced the device at $799 for 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There’s also a model priced at $899 for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of memory. It’s important to note, however, the handset has expandable storage. MobileSyrup will have more on the ZenFone 6, ROG Phone II and other Asus products in the coming weeks.

While the ZenFone 6 lacks features like an on-screen fingerprint scanner and the best display, these shortcomings likely helped keep the phone’s cost under $1,000 CAD. Speaking of price, Asus has priced the device at $799 for 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There’s also a model priced at $899 for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of memory. It’s important to note, however, the handset has expandable storage. MobileSyrup will have more on the ZenFone 6, ROG Phone II and other Asus products in the coming weeks.

Boasting some top-end specs, the Asus ZenFone 6 has a lot going for it. Its automatic flip camera is an innovative solution that enables the device to use the same sensor and lens hardware for both front- and rear-facing shots. The image quality of the dual-camera setup is generally good, with nice color, well-controlled noise, and excellent autofocus, although some exposure and white balance instabilities mean it’s not quite a top performer. The lack of a tele-lens also meant lower scores for zoom and bokeh. Video performance is excellent overall, though, making the Asus ZenFone 6 a serious contender for any smartphone video enthusiast.

If you need the best of the best and have the cash to throw at it, a flagship device like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is really good, but if cash is tight or you simply don’t want to spend $1,000 on a phone you’ll be getting rid of in less than 2 years, the ASUS Zenfone 6 is a phenomenal option. Seriously, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better phone at $500. And even if you do, it definitely won’t be able to match the selfies you’ll get from this flip-up camera. Be sure to jump into the comments and let me know what you think about the Asus Zenfone 6. The phone’s not perfect, but it’s price, unique camera system, and massive battery make it one of my favorite devices of 2019.

Asus provides two versions of the ZenFone 6. The entry-level specification, which we tested, comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That costs £499, which is a competitive price when rivals such as OnePlus are continuously pushing up their prices. The 8GB/256GB version costs another £100, but even that undercuts the ZenFone 6's competition.

You can get a better camera or a nicer screen for a couple hundred dollars more with the OnePlus 7 Pro. You can spend a couple hundred dollars more than that to get phones that are genuinely luxurious, like the iPhone XS or the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. You can spend way less and get a slower processor or a smaller phone. Even though it seems like your phone choices are dwindling, that’s not really true. There are tons of options.

With the flip camera onboard, the ASUS 6z manages to deliver a seamless full view display with small bezels and a great screen-to-body ratio, no notch interruptions, whatsoever.

The unique flip camera means you get to take selfies with the main 48MP shooter at the back, and there's no cutout at the front. You also get a clean user interface with a ton of customization options and fast updates. Put it all together, and you get a great overall package.

The Asus 6Z is what we would classify as a real all-rounder. It might lack the pizzazz but is a very good offering that will have competition worried. Asus 6Z’s main competition will come from the OnePlus 7 which costs a bit more for similar specs. Asus 6Z is the most affordable phone with the fastest processor in the market. That’s a big plus for the 6Z to go with a sturdy design, impressive performance and more than capable cameras. Not to forget that the 6Z is truly an all-screen display albeit not as good as OnePlus 7. Considering all these aspects, you have to say that Asus might just have a winner on its hands.

Overall, the ASUS 6Z is a good successor to the 5Z at a starting price of Rs. 31,999 for 6GB RAM with 64GB storage version, but the 128GB storage version at Rs. 34,999 is Rs. 3000 more. It is also Rs. 2000 more than the OnePlus 7 128GB model. If you are looking for a flagship smartphone with a good battery life, no-notch screen, smooth performance and a good selfie camera, this is definitely a good choice for the price. If you can spend more for the AMOLED screen, in-screen fingerprint scanner and a splash-resistant body and don’t care about the 3.5mm audio jack or the notch screen, the OnePlus 7 is better. The ASUS 6Z goes on sale starting today, June 26th at 12 noon exclusively on Flipkart. To summarize, here are the pros and cons of the smartphone.

There are more "affordable" flagship phones than ever on the market right now. However, ASUS manages to stand out from the crowd with a focus on battery life, clean, fast software, high-end specs and a unique approach to smartphone photography. There are trade-offs for sure: This is a big, chunky, heavy phone with an average-looking screen that lacks some common features like water resistance.

The Asus 6Z offers a well-rounded camera experience and the biggest advantage of that flip camera is the fact that both rear and front-facing images are extremely detailed, and the versatility of the wide-angle camera can also be utilized on the front. At a starting price of Rs 31,999, it is directly competing with the likes of OnePlus 7 and Honor 20. Both these phones are known to be inconsistent when it comes to the camera performance and Asus 6Z definitely holds an edge over here.

However, if these shortcomings don’t seem major to you, the Asus 6Z is shaping out to be a great option starting at Rs 31,999. The OnePlus 7 retails for Rs. 32,999 and does almost everything that the 6Z does, except for the flip-out camera of course, and the big battery. But the reliability of Oxygen OS and the brand’s fan-base are the biggest threats to what otherwise is a smartphone that does basically everything, and does it well.

Priced at Rs 31,999 for the 6GB RAM and 64GB storage variant, the Asus 6z is a well-packaged product in the midrange segment. Consider this smartphone for its unique motorised flip-camera module, sturdy build, easy-to-use operating system and all-round performance. But the phone’s multimedia handling capability falls short when compared with other smartphones in the segment. This, however, might be improved through a software upgrade in future; until then, it is not the best for multimedia enthusiasts who like streaming videos on the go.

Sadly, the Flip Camera is itself the Asus 6z's Achilles Heel -- despite giving us possibly the world's best front camera performance, the implementation feels vulnerable to daily abuse and if it stops working, you are stuck with a phone that has no front cameras. Asus says that the module is tested to last five years and it's up to you whether you are ready to take the company's words. In India, the Asus 6z rivals the OnePlus 7, Pixel 3a XL and the Honor 20. Compared to all these phones, the 6Z is closer to the OnePlus 7 in terms of performance, compared to the Pixel 3a XL concerning the camera performance and is a solid all-rounder like the Honor 20. Most importantly, it undercuts them all with its pricing and to me, that's a deal you can't miss.

Asus has thought of plenty to do with the rotating camera module and has tried to compensate for not having an immediately available front-facing camera, but it might take some getting used to. The main advantages of this design are that you get a clean, notch-free screen, and very high-quality selfies. On the downside, face recognition isn't as frictionless and the mechanical module does need to be handled with care.

It does have a 1080p display but that does help the killer 5,000mAh go on for days and I don’t think you miss it much. Now what’s the cost? Well the ASUS ZenFone 6 starts at a surprising $499 for the 6GB/64GB model and tops out this version for $699. If you are looking for an alternate to the Pixels and Galaxies of the world you might want to look at the ASUS ZenFone 6.

The performance and battery life offered by the ZenFone 6 are enough to earn it a space on our list of best Android phones available today. Those factors would be impressive enough on their own, but when you consider you're paying a couple hundred dollars less than higher-profile Android phones but getting comparable performance and a longer-lasting device, it really reflects well on the ZenFone.

In all honesty, the 48 megapixel camera on here might not be used a great deal. If you leave it on this setting you’ll get no zoom, no HDR+ and no effects. You’ll be switching it down to 12 megapixels (in 4:3) or 9 megapixels (in 16:9) pretty quickly. Although, those photos really are very good.

But just because Asus isn't a major player in terms of sales volume can't take away from what the Zenfone 6 represents: it feels like a reset; a fresh start for a company looking to attract a new audience. There's plenty of quirks to attract too, from the Flip Camera to the massive battery capacity.

Come in for the cool motorized camera, stay for everything else - that's pretty much what the Zenfone 6 is all about. That is, if you manage to look past its not quite stellar display - other than that Asus has managed to pull off quite the package for a very reasonable price. Easily some of the best possible selfies you can get from a smartphone today is only the flip side to an excellent camera experience across stills and video, in daylight or at night. And you'll have no problem making it through the night either thanks to the biggest battery this side of the midrange. Add to that some nice-to-haves that are increasingly harder to find in the high-end segment like a headphone jack, a status LED, and a dedicated microSD slot, and we can see how the Zenfone 6 makes a really compelling case for itself.

The biggest unknown here is the fact that it’s still not clear if ASUS Philippines is bringing this phone over to the country. Reps for the company haven’t given a concrete release date as of yet, and there’s a big chance that ASUS skips the Philippines when they officially roll out the ZenFone 6.

The device’s clever rotating design means that the ZenFone 6 can use a much larger image sensor in its primary camera for selfie images than most dedicated front cameras. Add a well-tuned autofocus system, a dual-LED flash, and an excellent camera software implementation into the mix, and it is no surprise Asus’s new flagship achieves excellent results for detail, noise, color, and several other tests, making it the new number one in our DxOMark Selfie ranking. It’s on par with the very best rivals for still images—but this said, while not perfect, it is in a league of its own for video, making it the current best option for mobile video creators recording selfie footage.

The ZenFone 6 is a phenomenal smartphone, offering an innovative Flip Camera system that not only provides high-end front- and rear-facing cameras, but allows for a full-screen display free of hole-punch cameras or notches. Combine that with high-end internals and all-day battery life, and you've got a great, all-round smartphone.

The Asus ZenFone 6 is certainly intriguing, thanks to its revolving camera module and impressively large battery, but there's stiff competition out there that might undercut the otherwise promising value for money on offer here.

Asus’ latest could easily have been another run-of-the-mill Samsung/iPhone impersonator, so it's refreshing and, dare we say it, quite exciting to see something a little different. Sure, the flippable camera is a fun quirk, but it could be genuinely game-changing for front-facing video recording and shooting at otherwise hard-to-reach angles. We just hope the motor system is as robust as Asus assures us it is. Throw in that heavyweight Snapdragon 855 and 5000mAh battery combo, and you've got a flagship to be reckoned with.

The Asus ZenFone 6 feels both familiar and unique at the same time. The fact this handset has its unique rotating camera and a huge 5000mAh battery may help it stand out from the rest of the Android crowd.

The Asus Zenfone 6 is probably one of the best offerings from Asus. The phone is equipped with a premium design and the display looks sharp in our opinion. The hardware is top-notch and the camera innovation is probably one of the best we have seen in a smartphone. The battery is impressive as well and the user interface looks quite clean as compared to the previous generations. As for the competition is concerned, it will face stiff competition with the likes of OnePlus 7 Pro, Google Pixel 3a XL and Samsung Galaxy S10e.

The Zenfone 6 embodies everything that’s great about smartphones in 2019. It doesn’t follow trends set by Apple and Samsung, it doesn’t just adopt the features other manufacturers have chosen, and it doesn’t repeat mistakes that have hurt Zenfone models in the past. Asus has taken a step back, relaxed, and thought about what it needs to do to compete this year. The Zenfone 6 is the result, and it goes its own way in a very special fashion.

The Zenfone 6 will be launched in Europe at the same price as the Zenfone 5z - €499. That's both uncommon in a world where each year new models in the same lineup get pricier, and quite the bargain for what the phone offers.

At $499 to start, the ZenFone 6 looks like a compelling value. The Flip Camera could be our preferred mobile shooter for selfies, so long as it holds up well in everyday use, and so long as that 48-MP sensor delivers like we hope it will. And the handset's 5,000-mAh battery might make the latest ZenFone the best flagship to have in your pocket if longevity on a charge your top priority.

Asus ZenFone 6 Edition 30
If you want to feel special by just having a smartphone, here is your chance. Asus is celebrating their 30th anniversary with a signature smartphone, called Zenfone 6 Edition 30. Is there anything new compared to what we already have in hand? I mean compared to current Zenfone 6 models. Only 2 things. More RAM and more storage. That is the only difference from the hardware point of view. Then what is the point you might wonder? It is exclusivity. There will be only 3,000 units manufactured. Even if this does not sound too much exclusive, it is still somewhat limited. What will you get in return? A special box, a card that will give you VIP priority for repairs and customer service as well as 30 month guarantee. Since pricing it not yet announced as the time of this article, it would be very hard for me to make a comment on this. In order to justify this purchase, there has to be a purpose behind it. Paying for something more just for a special box and 30 month of guarantee is just not okay to me. There are a few reasons behind it. First of all, given the competition on the market, in 2 years there will be already better models with better configs, cameras etc. Even today’s flagship models will become average in 24 months. So, extended warranty may not mean much in this sense. Increased storage and RAM can resonate better to justify the price once it is announced. Who should buy this special model then? If you are a collector or if you are an Asus fan, I would say go for it. It can be a special gift to someone as well. But other than that if you don’t think you would need the extra 4 GB RAM and 256 GB space over the regular Zenfone 6, it would be money wasted. For some, it can even be a status symbol, but maybe for a very limited time. I am not criticizing the value of the smartphone or anything else, overall the Zenfone 6 is a great phone with all its features and what it brings to the table. But, this Zenfone 6 Edition 30 should not be seen as a regular model. It is an anniversary model. Therefore it has to be handled differently. If you are planning to use it everyday, then it may just be extra money spent for a phone. If you are just going to get it for your collection, sure it makes sense to me. If I were to buy this model, I would not use it. Just keep it and maybe sell it after 20 years? I am pretty sure there will be some interest. Otherwise, just for a daily usage a Zenfone 6 is more than capable. Hands-on article by Ümit Yılmaz GüneşSpecifications

Asus Zenfone 7 Pro ZS671KS
The ZenFone 7 Pro is built to defy the ordinary, according to the manufacturer. Its evolved Flip Camera provides three high-quality cameras front and rear – it is a feat that no other phone can match. The ZenFone 7 Pro excels at everything it does, with a pin-sharp AMOLED display, superb performance from the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865 Plus Mobile Platform with ultrafast 5G capabilities, and incredible stamina from its high-capacity battery. As for the display, the ZenFone 7 Pro uses a 90Hz/1ms AMOLED NanoEdge display. AMOLED technology is widely used in smartphones due to its great color reproduction ability and very deep black hues. Users will experience very smooth scrolling and enjoy true-to-life colors. It also features DC Dimming technology to reduce screen flicker in low-light conditions for comfortable viewing anytime.
As for the hardware specification, the device is powered by the latest flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, which makes the ZenFone 7 Pro the ultimate all-round performer. It features fast LPDDR5 RAM, and its UFS 3.1 ROM, the fastest flash storage, provides a massive storage capacity, as high as 256 GB. The ZenFone 7 Pro is also a leader in mobile photography. It features triple front and rear cameras mounted in the unique Flip Camera module. This motorized flip-up module is equipped with a 64MP f/1.8 main lens, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle lens, and a 8MP f/2.4 triple zoom telephoto lens, so it is easy to capture very good-looking photos. The ultra wide-angle camera creates expansive landscape photos that capture everything users can see. They can also take amazing macro shots that highlight every detail.
As for power, the smartphone is equipped with a Li-Po 5000mAh, non-removable battery that can be charged up to 60% in 34 minutes through the included 30W charger, or fully charged in 93 minutes. The Zenfone 7 Pro is 3G and 4G capable. It has a built-in GPS receiver and near-field communication (NFC) function, which can transfer content to and from other NFC-enabled devices. Furthermore, the Zenfone 7 Pro has dual SIM capability, which means users can insert two different SIM cards and use them simultaneously on one phone. In conclusion, the Asus ZenFone 7 Pro is an innovative device with high specifications. It targets high-end users who want a very good camera on their smartphone. However, because of the higher price tag, a higher budget will be necessary.

The latest to join the Asus family is the Asus ZenFone 7 Pro, the direct successor to the ZenFone 6 with some improvements. As far as the display is concerned, it is obviously larger, and the flip-up camera has an additional lens. There is also less bezel on the top and bottom chin of the device. In terms of the fingerprint sensor, it has been shifted from the back of the phone and integrated within the oversized lock button mounted on the right side. Just like other phones that have gone with button-based biometrics, such as the Samsung Galaxy S10e, the ZenFone 7 Pro’s large button has some give but is nevertheless accurate and fast in reading fingerprints. However, it does take some getting used to, because there are high chances of the button getting accidentally pressed.
Apart from that, it is worth noting that the flip-up camera takes up a bigger chunk of the top section of the back, yet does not feel large or weighty. When the phone is popped open by switching to front-facing camera mode, the gears and mechanisms spinning in the phone can literally be felt. However, it does not jostle the grip and is definitely much quieter than the grinding buzz of the ZenFone 6. While it does not necessarily feel heavy, at 230 g, the phone still weighs more than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and most other flagship smartphones. It is definitely undeniable that the camera flip motors are partially responsible for the weight, but the massive 5,000mAh battery also contributes to it.
As far as the display is concerned, the Zenfone 7 Pro’s notchless 6.67-inch AMOLED Full-HD display definitely looks sleek, especially given the rarity of smartphones with truly seamless screens. While it is obviously slightly bigger than the 6.4-inch display on the ZenFone 6, the reduced bezels make it look even more streamlined. It should be noted, however, that there is no in-screen fingerprint sensor on this phone. In terms of its camera, the ZenFone 7 Pro carries a flappable three-camera array, allowing the usage of the same cameras to take pictures on the front and back. The main camera is a 64MP f/1.8 shooter with OIS, along with a 12MP ultrawide camera that includes a respectable but not industry-leading 113-degree field of view. Finally, there is a 3x optical telephoto lens that maxes out at 12x digital zoom.
In terms of the camera performance, the main lens can record video in up to 8K at 30fps, while the ultrawide camera can capture video in up to 4K at 60fps. The photo modes that take advantage of the flip camera, like the subject-following motion-tracking mode and auto-panning panorama, return as well. As for the other components, this phone packs a Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G chipset, an Adreno 650 GPU, 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage (expandable by up to 2TB via microSD). Overall, it is definitely a great device to be explored.

The Asus ZenFone 7 Pro offers real benefits over its predecessor, but lands in our database closer to the better phones from last year than to this year’s leading contenders. Overall image quality is satisfying and the ZenFone has no trouble producing good-looking photos under most conditions. But the competition at the top is fierce: missteps in the handling of high dynamic range scenes, significant artifacts, and a problematic bokeh mode drag the score down compared to the top performers. Zoom performance is much improved thanks to the new telephoto camera, but its image quality is not up to what we see from the best available today, especially at longer zoom ratios.

The Asus ZenFone 7 Pro’s unique swiveling camera unit means the same sensor and lens are used for capturing rear camera and selfie images. The concept really works out well, with the Asus delivering excellent results in many Selfie test categories, especially texture and exposure for both Photo and Video. The only real downside of using a comparatively large image sensor for selfie capture is a narrow depth of field and therefore slightly blurred backgrounds in holiday or group selfies. Most users will be willing to accept this, though, and overall the ZenFone 7 Pro is an easy recommendation to any selfie shooter, especially vloggers and others who frequently record selfie video clips.

The whirring action of the flip-up module wouldn't have been enough to hold our attention if it didn't carry capable cameras and there wasn't a fine smartphone attached on the other end.

The Asus ZenFone 7 Pro is a very interesting phone, indeed. In a world, where in-display fingerprint scanners, punch-hole cameras, and wireless charging seem to be the trend, this phone dares to do things a bit differently. It trades some of these “modern” features to offer users a hefty 5000 mAh battery, an exceptional 92% screen to body ratio with no notches or cutouts eyesore, and, of course, possibly the best selfie camera out there, for it’s actually the main camera system flipped up.

The Asus Zenfone 7 Pro is an impressive flagship phone with a triple-rear camera array that flips around to the front to improve your selfie game. While it won’t outdo the best photography-focused phones on the market, the top-tier specs make this phone competitive with, if not a step ahead of, most other flagships on the market. Just don’t expect it to handle water or dust well.

So, in the end, it’s the flipping mechanism itself that steals the show, rather than the cameras it’s serving. It’s a striking feature, but it doesn’t guarantee great pictures. The Zenfone 7 Pro is a phone for people who want cameras that flip, not people who want the best cameras in the first place.

It’s kind of hard to position the ZenFone 7 and 7 Pro in the market – if they were perfectly performing devices, then those prices could be rationalised, however as a matter of fact, there’s some lacklustre aspects to them. ASUS has to either really up their camera processing game in the coming months with firmware updates, or quickly reduce the pricing to something that’s closer to the $560 mark at which the ZenFone 6 was released last year.

It's no secret that phone-makers have been experimenting with hiding their front-facing cameras in an effort to deliver an uninterrupted display. Last year saw Samsung launch a family of A80 phones with reversible pop-up cameras. Oppo's Find X ($677 at Walmart) had a motorized pop-up selfie camera and OnePlus followed quickly behind with its own OnePlus 7 Pro ($680 at Amazon). Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Asus was also on board: Its Zenfone 6 had a camera module that flipped from the back to the front (and vice versa) and eliminated the front camera altogether.

The Zenfone 7 builds on the winning formula of last year's model and brings upgrades in areas where we found the 6 was notably lacking. The OLED screen is a most welcome sight, and Asus didn't just pick any OLED, but went to Samsung and got what appears to be a really nice panel at first glance. The addition of a telephoto camera addresses another pain point with the Zenfone 6 - zoom is now on the table as well, but there are advancements across the board.

The ZenFone 7 and ZenFone 7 Pro seem to present a worthy upgrade over Asus' compelling bargain flagship from last year. We'd hope the new devices offer a relatively inexpensive path to a lot of performance and that trio of unique cameras, but then we don't quite know how much they cost yet.

Overall, the ZenFone 7 feels like a very solid phone with quite a lot of potential. The only thing of note here that I guess would be a negative is that it’s a very large and quite heavy phone, although it has reasonable ergonomics so it’s still pretty usable.

The Asus ZenFone 7 Pro looks to be a top-end device, with lots of high-end spec plus some novel features that should entertain users – and it offers a flip camera to ensure that your display is notch-free.

The Zenfone 7 builds on the winning formula of last year's model and brings upgrades in areas where we found the 6 was notably lacking. The OLED screen is a most welcome sight, and Asus didn't just pick any OLED, but went to Samsung and got what appears to be a really nice panel at first glance. The addition of a telephoto camera addresses another pain point with the Zenfone 6 - zoom is now on the table as well, but there are advancements across the board.

The ZenFone 7 and ZenFone 7 Pro seem to present a worthy upgrade over Asus' compelling bargain flagship from last year. We'd hope the new devices offer a relatively inexpensive path to a lot of performance and that trio of unique cameras, but then we don't quite know how much they cost yet.

Overall, the ZenFone 7 feels like a very solid phone with quite a lot of potential. The only thing of note here that I guess would be a negative is that it’s a very large and quite heavy phone, although it has reasonable ergonomics so it’s still pretty usable.

More than a year after Asus impressed with a flipping camera on its flagship Zenfone 6, the company is back with the Zenfone 7 Pro. The phone's standout feature is a swiveling camera that smoothly flips over the top of the phone to take selfies. It also sports a large uninterrupted display, 5G connectivity, a blazing-fast processor, fast refresh rates and a massive battery. Alongside the 7 Pro, Asus launched a base variant called the Zenfone 7.

Asus already shows on paper that a powerful configuration can also be packed into a small smartphone with the Zenfone 8. We will find out what it is capable of in the end in our review.

The Asus Zenfone 8 has nailed its particular niche: a small Android phone with top specs and a reasonable price. If that’s what you want, then look no further. But if you are searching for better camera or battery endurance, then you might want to consider an alternative such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.

As a whole, the ZenFone 8 is a great phone facing greater competition. It’s also both a good and unique smartphone because of its compact size, worthy features, and palatable price, even if it’s not particularly flashy in any aspect. We welcome having more options in Singapore’s flagship Android space and finally, we can recommend a capable, high-end compact Android phone that's not from Samsung. The trickier question then is should you choose the ASUS ZenFone 8 or the Samsung Galaxy S21 when hunting for a compact flagship phone? As iterated earlier, the Galaxy S21 has the upper hand in non-stock Android UI experience all through its operating system, a better camera system with its dedicated telephoto lens and a more capable, advanced and yet user-friendly camera interface, wireless charging and a more polished phone design as a whole. Where the ZenFone 8 gets the nod is its overall performance, much better battery life and being a tad more affordable. So it's a matter of which set of experiences do you want more out of your device.

Asus’s “big on performance, compact in size” phone isn’t that big on audio performance: If you’re looking for a masterful audio phone in the same price range, other models, such as the Black Shark 4 Pro, would make a far better choice. If its non-audio features are your priority, know that the Zenfone 8’s speakers deliver decent in-game audio and good playback at softer volumes, along with fairly good sound attributes in videos filmed with the rear cameras.

At $629, the Asus Zenfone 8 is not only a worthy alternative to the iPhone 12, it's a high-value Android flagship that's actually easy to hold. It has the same power as its full-sized competitors, a crisp OLED display, spectacular cameras, and a durable build. What's missing? Support for Verizon customers, mmWave, and wireless charging. If these omissions take the Zenfone 8 out of the running for you, we still have a few options for you. For shoppers who want a flagship with the latest-and-greatest hardware, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is a solid choice that's just a little larger. If you simply care about a phone that will serve you well over the next several years but won't break the bank, the Google Pixel 5a (our Editors' Choice among midrange phones) fits the bill perfectly.

The Asus ZenFone 8 offers a crisp display, flagship performance and a great camera set-up, all for an extremely competitive price - managing to outpace its sister phone, the ZenFone 8 Flip. The smaller design is a solid option for those who don’t want to settle for a big phone. The battery life isn't great, but providing you’re happy to use it in durable mode and can savour that 120Hz display, you can make it last through the day. Overall, this is a contender in the smartphone market for 2021.

In my opinion, it only lacked a camera with a telephoto lens and inductive charging. Everything else - is in line with my expectations for the flagship smartphone from 2021. Asus ZenFone 8 offers top performance, complete equipment and a great display. It even has a minijack and a waterproof casing, and it also takes good photos and videos. Battery - also nothing to complain about. Will you say that other flagships offer similar possibilities, and Zenfone does not stand out with anything special? And which phone can be completely covered with a palm ?! Yes, you can complain about little things - but the whole thing is really extraordinary. Fact - mainly due to the compact dimensions. But apparently size does count...?

Launched in May 2021, the Asus Zenfone 8 is one of the currently most compact flagship-level smartphones. But don’t let the small package fool you. The Asus comes with top-end hardware, including a 5.9-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 2400-pixel resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line 888 chipset. In the imaging department, the Zenfone 8 features a dual-camera setup. The primary shooter uses a 64 MP Sony sensor with Quad-Bayer technology and is optically stabilized. The ultra-wide camera widens the field of view to match that of a lens with 14.3 mm (35 mm-equivalent) focal length. You can record up to 8K footage at 24 frames per second in video mode. Let’s see how the Asus Zenfone 8 fared in our DXOMARK Camera tests.

The display of Asus Zenfone 8 is vibrant and flagship-like although lags are a bit behind ROG 5. It goes without saying, the phone has an overall compact form factor which makes a lot of sense for those who want a powerful phone in a compact. On the contrary, you can just let it go if you don’t want a phone with a smaller size. The battery falls in the average size considering the battery size in the Android sphere. The charging speed is considerably slower than any flagship phone except Apple and Samsung.

As a whole, the ZenFone 8 is a great phone facing greater competition. It’s also both a good and unique smartphone because of its compact size, worthy features, and palatable price, even if it’s not particularly flashy in any aspect. We welcome having more options in Singapore’s flagship Android space and finally, we can recommend a capable, high-end compact Android phone that's not from Samsung. Where the ZenFone 8 gets the nod is its overall performance, much better battery life and being a tad more affordable. So it's a matter of which set of experiences do you want more out of your device. The ASUS ZenFone 8 is available for purchase at an official recommended price of S$999 (8GB RAM + 256GB storage), with a S$1,099 alternative (16GB RAM + 256GB storage). If you’re convinced that it’s a flagship phone worthy of your money, you can purchase one from ASUS' online store.

There is no denying that Asus has packed as much hardware as it could into a small and ergonomic box. Sure, some of the myriad software features are underbaked, overwhelming, or even bothersome sometimes — warnings about app power consumption are a prime example. Perhaps some of that cruft should be cut out, but it's easily ignored or turned off. When you settle into the Zenfone 8, the end result is a fluid experience with plenty of utility and lots of lasting power to boot.

Whether you should buy the Asus Zenfone 8 phone or not apparently depends on your needs. Remember that you are spending a considerable amount of money. So it would be better if you get most things on a smartphone. With that budget, the company could take care of the battery features as well. This battery will often upset you because of its low capacity and there is no wireless charging support. But, you won’t see many phones compared to this one if you’re looking for alternatives. It has a brilliant processor, camera and screen specs that you can’t miss. You can still check out the OnePlus 9 5G, but you also need to commit to some important features.

The Asus Zenfone 8 is a solid flagship phone at a sub-flagship price, though inevitably there are compromises: there’s no telephoto lens or wireless charging, and it misses out on its predecessor’s novel flip camera that let the rear lenses rotate forward to take selfie shots. You can still get that camera in the limited-release Asus Zenfone 8 Flip, but the regular Zenfone 8 delivers top-tier specs at the most affordable price since the OnePlus 6T.

The ZenFone 8 fills a void in the Android market for a full-specced, small-sized device. The Google Pixel 4A is around the same size, but it’s decidedly a budget device with a step-down processor, plastic chassis, and fewer niceties like an IP rating or a fast-refresh screen. Aside from battery life, which is manageable, you give up very little in the way of flagship features to get the ZenFone 8’s small form factor. All that said, the ZenFone 8 will be the right fit for a specific type of person, and I can heartily recommend it to my fellow small phone fans. You’ll get flagship-level build quality and performance quite literally in the palm of your hand.

All in all, the ASUS ZenFone 8 checks most of the requirements needed for a compact flagship device. It's lightweight, powerful, has good cameras, and the battery performance is respectable. However, you shouldn't get it just because it's cheaper than dedicated gaming phones. With a starting price of RM2699, there's not much to nitpick because there aren't many Android phones that come with this size and have high-end specs. The closest option would be the Xiaomi Mi 11 at RM2999, which has the same price as the ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip. If you prefer the iOS experience, then there's the iPhone 12 mini starting from RM3399.

With that said, we have covered ASUS Zenfone 8’s main issue – thermal management. Using the High-Performance mode with 120Hz enabled results in a rather uncomfortable experience, as the entire device slowly builds up heat. On the other hand, even at 58-59°C on the processor, and playing games at a maximum brightness outdoors, the device didn’t seem to want to shut down, which is good… probably.

As iterated earlier, the Galaxy S21 has the upper hand in non-stock Android UI experience all through its operating system, a better camera system with its dedicated telephoto lens and a more capable, advanced and yet user-friendly camera interface, wireless charging and a more polished phone design as a whole. Where the ZenFone 8 gets the nod is its overall performance, much better battery life and being a tad more affordable.

There’s definitely a market for smaller, more compact flagships in the marketplace since not everyone is comfortable handling big phones. What I really like about the ZenFone 8 is that it doesn’t really compromise on performance to deliver that small phone experience. It’s also rather affordable too considering the price – making it a great device for anyone looking for a compact flagship that won’t break the bank.

The ASUS Zenfone 8 8GB + 128GB is priced at PHP 34,995, while the 16GB + 256GB model is at PHP 39,995. Those are lovely price tags for a flagship smartphone, especially the base model. This also puts the Zenfone 8 as one of the most affordable 16GB RAM-equipped smartphones in the Philippine market. It’s not a simple decision to make, though, considering that in that price range, you’ll also start considering the likes of the OnePlus 9 5G, Xiaomi Mi 11, ROG Phone 5 Classic, and even the Zenfone 8 Flip. But if you really want a smartphone with a compact build and have the most RAM for the budget, get the Zenfone 8. But if you want more cameras, a larger screen, and smoother gaming performance, you might want to explore other options.

Asus is betting a small phone will make a big impact. It bills its new midrange ZenFone 8 as the "ultimate compact Android phone." The ZenFone 8 has a crisp 5.9-inch AMOLED display, respectable battery life, dependable cameras, stereo speakers, and powerful internals that by some measures rivals the $1,200 Galaxy S21 Ultra's performance. All this is crammed into a lightweight and slender chassis, making it one of the most compact 5G phones around.

With the Zenfone 8, ASUS is bringing a compact flagship back to Android. Like Apple’s iPhone 12 mini, the Zenfone 8 proves that small handsets don’t have to compromise on performance or specs. It’s a niche category for sure, but one with a vocal following. Kudos to ASUS for taking the plunge and making a small phone with premium materials, a gorgeous display, competitive shooters, great audio, outstanding performance, and clean software. If you’ve been waiting for a tiny but mighty Android flagship, the Zenfone 8 is the one. The only truly missing feature here is wireless charging. While that’s important to us, many of you won’t care. The Zenfone 8’s middling battery life is an issue, though -- one that it shares with the iPhone 12 mini -- but thankfully, it’s manageable. Ultimately, with no direct competition and a rumored $599 US price tag, this small flagship is a big winner.

However, if what you’re doing doesn’t require those kinds of specs, you can opt for the cheapest variant which comes with an RTX 3060 that powers a 144Hz FHD display instead at RM8299.

If you’re looking for something a little different when it comes to your laptops and smartphones, ASUS has gotta be one of your go-tos. Using the company’s dual-screen laptops over the past couple years has changed what I expect from a mobile computer … and the latest ROG Phone is so well-equipped, it tempted even a non-gamer like myself. Compared to those envelope-pushers, ASUS’s two new Zenfones are far tamer offerings. That’s because they’re trying to appeal to a more mainstream audience, while still offering features other manufacturers have mostly written off. The question is whether either one goes far enough.

The Zenfone 8 looks promising, but pricing will play the biggest role in determining our recommendation. At $599, it's a pretty good deal; at $799, not so much. Carrier support is also something to take into consideration, and we want to see if Asus makes a commitment to multi-year OS updates. We'll be tracking the release of the Zenfone 8 here, so check back soon for more details and a full review when the phone becomes available. In the meantime, our pick for the best small phone remains the iPhone 12 mini.

You can still get that camera in the limited-release Asus Zenfone 8 Flip, but the regular Zenfone 8 delivers top-tier specs at the most affordable price since the OnePlus 6T.

The Asus Zenfone 8 is a great phone, though its availability might leave some confused. But the hardware is excellent, the software is great, and the cameras perform way better than expected (especially after the extreme disappointment I had with the ROG Phone 5’s cameras). You’re getting a ton of phone with the Zenfone 8 and it’s definitely the best small Android phone, handily beating the Pixel 5 in every way except camera performance.

By not following the blueprint of pretty much every other Android phone, Asus has found a niche for the Zenfone 8. If you’re after an iPhone 12-sized Android phone with top-tier specs then this device is shaping up to be an excellent option.

ASUS's first shot at a compact Android flagship is one of the best small, high-end phones you can buy. Between its fast performance, two capable cameras, and a pocket-friendly form factor, this is a fantastic overall package. But you may be waiting longer for Android OS updates, and there's no wireless charging.

The Asus Zenfone 8 is a rare occurrence. It's a unique phone with a niche of its own, but this wasn't enough for Asus. They've built an enthusiast's smartphone with brilliant execution and a laundry list of features you rarely see all in one place, not even in larger devices. Much like with its ROG Phone lineup of gaming phones, the Zenfone 8 is a non-compromise device built from the ground up to excel in all important aspects of smartphone operation.

While I’m sure Asus would be happy to own this market by itself, I hope this portends more small(ish) Android flagships. I love using the gigantic Galaxy S21 Ultra, but the Zenfone 8 proves that there is no reason why you need to sacrifice performance for a more compact design. The Asus Zenfone 8 has earned itself a place among the best smartphones available today.

Finally, there’s the continued issue of availability and limited releases depending on country and markets. I had asked ASUS about their recent track-record of having extremely slow roll-outs, with users sometimes waiting months to be able to purchase the phones in their specific region or country. Similarly, the Zenfone 8 series don’t have any concrete sell date or more specific pricing beyond the European start prices showcased in the above slide. ASUS had replied that they’re aiming to do better this year, but again shying away from disclosing any more concrete per-country availability information.

Making a smartphone purchasing decision is tough, but for small phone lovers, there aren’t many choices. The ZenFone 8 joins the incredibly small list of compact flagship phones, and it makes a splash by jumping straight up to the top of the list. ASUS doesn’t ask you to compromise on the performance, battery life, display, speakers, or software, and even if the cameras leave a bit to be desired, the competitive price makes up for it.

And finally, we come to the iPhone 12 Mini, of course. Is it the Zenfone 8’s only real competitor? I don’t think so. It’s smaller and probably easier to operate (although those hard edges really hurt your hand) but it’s also more expensive and the battery life is underwhelming, to say the least. The iPhone 12 Mini is also an iOS device (duh, obviously) and people don’t change sides all that often.

There’s always a sacrifice to be made with smaller phones. Asus tried really hard to make the Zenfone 8 a top-performing flagship in a small, easy-to-use piece of hardware. It very nearly got everything right, yet just a few things hold the Zenfone 8 back. The most glaring issues to me are battery life and the camera. While the battery life is generally good, flipping on features such as the always-on display takes a noticeable hit on battery life. Furthermore, while the main camera gets the job done, the ultra-wide camera falls behind the competition. The Zenfone 8 also doesn’t support the optical zoom that many of its competitors do. There’s still plenty to like.

All that said, the ZenFone 8 will be the right fit for a specific type of person, and I can heartily recommend it to my fellow small phone fans. You’ll get flagship-level build quality and performance quite literally in the palm of your hand.

There's a lot to like about this compact phone - which will suit many looking for a smaller flagship. There's a great display, quality build, and good cameras. But it heats up quickly under load so it's not for gamers, while the fingerprint scanner is irritating in use.

The Zenfone 8 Flip comes with powerful hardware and a well-equipped camera. The fact that the latter can be flipped to the front is also a special highlight. We will find out what Asus' smartphone does in everyday use in our review.

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip has the largest battery capacity (5000 mAh) in this comparison. Coming with a 30W charger, it has the same global score as the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (Exynos); but both the Asus and Samsung devices come in behind the OnePlus 9, thanks to its outstanding charging experience and better efficiency. The table below shows the battery capacity, tested charger, display type and resolution, and processor specifications for all three of these Premium devices. The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip does not offer a very good charging experience, but provides more than 2 days of autonomy with moderate use.

Asus continues to push the design envelope with its Zenfone smartphones in 2021. The standard Zenfone 8 launched as a super-compact flagship and is now joined by the larger “Flip” model, featuring Asus’s innovative motorized flip camera solution. Basic phone specs on the 8 Flip remain top-end, boasting a Snapdragon 888 chipset running Android 11; 5G connectivity; and a large 6.67-inch, 2400 x 1080-pixel AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate.

This phone is priced similarly to the OnePlus 9 and arguably offers a better camera system and a superior battery. You get a 6.67in AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and that awesome 5000mAh battery. That’s a lot of bang for your buck. It’s less expensive than iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Mini, two of the only handsets that offer superior performance and speed. And it’s considerably less expensive than 2021 Android flagships such as OPPO Find X3 Pro, OnePlus 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The Asus Zenfone 8 Flip smartphone is a decent smartphone. If you can afford a high price, this phone would be your best choice. If you want to get a good deal, there’s no argument about it. It offers lots of great features like a fantastic screen, brilliant processor, and long enough battery life, and ready for the future 5g support. The innovative flip camera is enough to surprise your neighbors. It is hard to find a better alternative. Asus has a big name so you can expect quality from this phone. But if you want an alternative option you can check the Axon 30 Ultra smartphone.

And finally, the price at RM2999. Oof, I think it’s a pretty okay price but the price gap between the Zenfone 8 Flip and the compact Zenfone 8 is quite justifiable – just that I think ASUS placed too many eggs into the Zenfone 8 basket. It’s still a good phone as it is right now – but having OIS could bring the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip to perfection. I’m very salty that the fact that there’s no OIS.

The ability to access all three rear-facing cameras on the front of the display is great too, particularly for those that shoot vlogs and take high-quality selfies. There is an issue though; it seems Asus doesn’t want the ZenFone 8 Flip to steal the spotlight from the smaller ZenFone 8. The 8 Flip features a lower display refresh rate and less RAM, and it doesn’t offer any kind of water resistance, optical image stabilisation or a 3.5mm headphone jack – all features of the standard model. The 8 Flip remains tempting, but the decision to ‘clip its wings’ means it can’t truly compete with some of the best flagships out there. It really comes down to whether you want that motorised camera or not.

The ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip is a great flagship for anyone looking for a high-performance device that won’t break the bank in the Philippines. If you’re willing to look past the quirky motorized flip camera then there’s plenty of things to love about this flagship device. Our review for the ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip in the Philippines confirms that it’s a great flagship phone if you’re looking for a device that has powerful internals as well as a big, gorgeous, notch-less screen. While it doesn’t have niceties like wireless charging or IP protection, it’s still a great deal considering how much it is.

The ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip is priced at RM2999, which is a pretty interesting. In practice, it is a great device, especially if you plan on shooting a lot of vlogs, where the flipping camera will come in handy. The 8K30 selfie video capability is not common at all, so that’s where the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip has an upper hand. The software user experience of the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip is also quite nice, with truly useful features, instead of just cramming everything and the kitchen sink into it and calling it a day. There are quite a few areas where it doesn’t quite match the competition though. It loses out on some fancier features like OIS, 120Hz refresh rate and ingress protection, all stuff that similarly priced devices are offering nowadays. I do understand why the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip can’t offer an IP rating, but OIS and a higher refresh rate are both features offered by its own sibling, the ASUS Zenfone 8, which makes the device we are looking at here all the more lackluster as a 2021 flagship.

At PHP 39,995, the ASUS Zenfone 8 Flip offers an interesting balance of features, from the ability to use the main camera for selfies to the gaming chops of its ROG siblings and a relatively slimmed down Android skin with a lot of hardware and software customization. By itself, it can be a compelling option if you can get past the flipping camera. However, with the Zenfone 8 being marketed as the flagship with a smaller 120Hz screen and proper IP certification, it will be up to you to weigh if you like a better selfie camera and a bigger screen than a more compact phone with a better display and proper protection.

In this sense, the Zenfone 8 Flip is neither cheap nor unique, and that might make it a tough sale for a challenger brand like Asus. Unless they somehow make the Zenfone 7 vanish into thin air, it's tough to recommend the new, more expensive model for the few upgrades it offers. The good news is Asus probably wouldn't mind whichever model you pick up - and both deserve a consideration.

Actually, the real alternative here is the previous model - the Zenfone 7/Pro. It offers pretty much the same experience, the design is similar, the size and weight are practically identical too. If you like big and heavy phones, you can check out the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, although its display is spoiled by a cutout, despite having a secondary selfie display in the camera bump.

Upon first impressions, the Asus Zenfone 8 Flip packs a functional camera design, premium build quality, and an incredibly large battery to the table. I was quite impressed with Zen UI as a skin, and the full-screen display is just such a joy to use. Of course, this phone isn’t without its downsides. There’s no wireless charging and the screen tops out at 90Hz. Meanwhile, the camera system, while innovative, isn’t the best of performers even for its €799 price point. Still, the overall experience is relatively premium, but it’s tough to swallow the €799 price tag considering last year’s Zenfone 7 series gives you most of the experience for a significantly cheaper price.

ASUS has set the pricing of the Asus 8Z at Rs 42,999 in India, and at that price, it appears to be a very solid value for money proposition overall. There is a beautiful display, a powerful flagship processor, faster RAM and storage, a fantastic primary camera, great software, and the most important thing, a compact form factor in this smartphone. Furthermore, it has an IP68 rating, which is something that is not found on competing phones. When it comes to games like BGMI or COD: Mobile, the phone is more than capable of handling whatever you throw at it. It’s important to note that the chipset warms up quickly. In addition, the phone’s battery life is low, the charging time is long, and the selfie camera is lacking. However, there is no doubt that the advantages dominate the drawbacks of this phone. The ASUS 8z is an all-in-one compact smartphone. To sum up, the Asus 8Z is an Android smartphone that resembles the Apple iPhone 12 mini.

Undoubtedly, Asus 8z emerges as a fresh option in Android smartphones for someone who is looking for a compact device without leaving the performance factor behind it. With its rich viewing experience, good rear camera output along with its strong and comfortable build quality, the Asus 8z has impressive output but with some flaws. As nothing is perfect! The average battery life and slow charging are just some factors that one can’t neglect, especially when you know that you need to pay Rs. 42,999. Hence, keeping its miniature factor aside for a while, there are a lot of better options for your consideration at the same price range. If you are looking for better camera performance, then there is Oppo 7 Pro with an even larger battery life under Rs. 40,000, but have to settle with a 90Hz display. Well, with the almost same price, the iQOO 9 adds the fast charging option to the table. And with a bit higher prices, the Xiaomi 11T Pro and Moto Edge 30 Pro can be a good option with a more powerful battery, better camera, and quick charging.

Flagship smartphones have gotten quite powerful over time and in the pursuit of better hardware, most devices have grown in size. Most smartphone screens are now greater than 6 inches, and that makes one-handed use difficult. The Samsung Galaxy S22 is one of very few Android smartphones to launch this year that offers flagship-level performance in a small package, but it also commands a steep premium. This is where the Asus 8z offers better value. It has a unique combination of premium build quality, powerful hardware, and compact size at its price level. However, if you don't want to limit yourself to Android, the Apple iPhone 12 mini (Review) and iPhone 13 mini (Review) also offer great performance. While the iPhone 13 mini is more expensive, the iPhone 12 mini is within reach, and we've seen its price drop below Rs. 40,000 during sales. The Asus 8z isn't flawless. The compact body limits battery capacity, and while Asus has tried its best to optimise battery life, this phone is just no match for those with physically larger batteries.

It’s a bit of a complex question really. There’s no doubt that Asus has made, if not the best a decently equipped Android smartphone that’s smaller than rival phones. It’s the most powerful small Android smartphone without a doubt. It fits easily in one hand and I can fit in the pocket of my skinny jeans. Priced at Rs 42,999, Asus 8z is a comfortable phone to carry around but at the same time, the size limits adding a bigger battery or more camera lenses. I don’t know whether or not the Asus 8z can compete with the best phones from the likes of Apple and Samsung, but I see a new wave of small premium phones making their way into the crowded market with a particular audience in mind.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is particularly attractive with its compact design. At the same time, the Asus smartphone also offers very powerful hardware with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, 16 GB of RAM, and a gimbal main camera. Find out in our review whether a purchase of the lightweight smartphone is worthwhile.

Still the best small-sized phone on the market in 2023, the Asus Zenfone 9 delivers excellent performance and highly capable camera hardware. However, there are a few minor gripes that let it down, including charging speed, image processing, and its thickness.

For those that want a compact smartphone, but don’t want to compromise on performance, the ASUS Zenfone 9 is a good option, and on paper it offers a great combination of three cameras, all with auto-focus. However, around this price point, you don’t need to spend much more money to find a smartphone with a triple camera setup on the back, giving additional telephoto options, such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 or S23. In terms of image quality, the Zenfone 9 offers some mixed results, not as good as the results you’ll get from Samsung, Google, and Apple. The main camera gives images that just didn’t quite hit the mark, and the camera seemed very prone to lens flare when the sun was in the frame, or even outside the frame. This is a real shame, as the Pixel 7 and Galaxy S22 are both available for less than the Zenfone 9. The ultra-wide angle camera performed well, and for those that want a selfie camera with auto-focus, this could be a good option. Especially if you need a smartphone to have a headphone socket. But for the photographers out there, it’s likely you’ll be happier with a different phone. Video stabilisation is impressive, and this could be another aspect of this smartphone that would make it a strong contender. If the price drops further over time, this could be considered a bit of a bargain, especially for those looking for a compact phone.

The Zenfone 9’s unique design, compact size, Bluetooth and audio features (including a headphone jack!), and hardware gestures combine to offer a package that does enough differently to warrant your attention. ASUS’ minimal Android skin is paired with customizable gestures to make the phone your own without cluttering up the interface. Performance is swift while battery life is long enough to cover essential day-to-day tasks with no problem, but this isn’t a phone built to convert the big-screen power user. The Zenfone 9 is a fine little handset, even if it’s not quite fully fleshed out to give the bigger names much to worry about. The lack of wireless charging, middling dual camera setup, and single storage capacity should give you pause for thought. You can easily find more hardware for your buck on today’s market, and most other phones will be kept up to date much longer, though they might take up a bit more space in your pocket.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is a small phone with a headphone jack that can easily fit in a pocket but that's about where the positives end which is a shame as there's a definite market for compact smartphones but they do need to offer more than just a small size. If you can look past the small display and underwhelming camera performance, you might opt for the Asus Zenfone 9 simply because it's a small phone but for most, the price will be too much of an ask.

Asus’ Zenfone 9 is still worth picking up if you’re looking for a compact flagship that’s a little different. The software extras complement a well-put-together, functional little hardware package. With solid audio, design, and performance firmly under its belt, the handset nails the smartphone fundamentals and then some. However, it’s far from a slam-dunk recommendation. The poor software pledge, so-so camera package, and the absence of wireless charging undercut the handset’s value proposition. Even with a notable discount, even an affordable flagship phone should be looking at several years of more support at this stage. Unfortunately for the Zenfone 9, Asus plans to forget about the handset too soon, and likely so will many prospective buyers.

But overall, as a full package, it doesn't truly, fully deliver on the dream of having all of the features every top-of-the-line device out there has, just in a small package. There are still compromises. And that's why we can only cautiously recommend the Zenfone 9. We think you should look at it side-by-side with the Galaxy S22, and pick the one that has the most upsides and least downsides for your personal use case. That's not to say that the Zenfone 9 isn't a great phone. It is. It could have been better had Asus really gone all-in with the 'flagship specs and features in a small phone' mantra. Perhaps the Zenfone 10 will remedy that in the coming months.

The Asus Zenfone 9 smartphone does things right with no less compromise with the latest features. Though, there’s no denying that there are a few minor flaws with not having wireless charging, a telephoto lens, slow night mode results, and more things. But on the other hand, the phone brings a top-end chipset, long-lasting battery life, and a 3.5-mm jack port are the primary selling point of this phone. Overall, the Zenfone 9 is a compelling flagship offering, which brings a compact design layout, and it is totally worth your money. Aside from this, if you are looking for an alternative smartphone option, we would suggest you go with the Google Pixel 7 is a fabulous choice to look into the future.

If you’re after a compact Android phone with high-end features and tons of grunt then it’s hard to go past the Asus Zenfone 9. It’s not quite a great all-rounder, but it ticks a lot of boxes, such as image stabilisation, a headphone jack and the support for high-quality wired and wireless audio. That said, if you’re willing to accept a handset that’s a fraction wider and heavier than your options at this price point open right up – including the slick Google Pixel 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S22 standard model. They might not be quite as compact, or quite as powerful, but they’re impressive all-rounders which impress in other ways.

Although it’s not the perfect “small” device, and there is a lot of stiff competition at its price points, we really like the ASUS Zenfone 9 and also like the direction ASUS took with this phone. The Zenfone 9’s performance is stellar, it takes very good photos, battery life is good, the textured back provides excellent grip, and the small form factor and gesture controls make it ideally suited for one-handed use. ASUS obviously put a lot of thought into the design and features of the Zenfone 9. For users in the market for a smaller phone, the only real caveats to consider are the lack of a true telephoto camera and wireless charging. We suspect, however, those two things aren’t going to be deal breakers for many folks. The ASUS Zenfone 9 has a starting MSRP of $699 for the 8GB/128GB model, while the 16GB/256GB model we tested here is priced at $799. Order one between today and October 15th as part of ASUS’s pre-order promotion and the company will throw in a set of ROG Cetra True wireless headphones (a $99 value). There are some excellent devices, like the Galaxy S22 and OnePlus 10T available in the Zenfone 9’s price range that offer some additional features, not to mention devices like the Pixel 6, though the Pixel doesn’t perform nearly as well. Still, all of those devices are either bigger or have some caveats of their own.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is one of the most enjoyable-to-use Android phones I've reviewed all year. Its new design is fresh and appealing, performance is blistering, and its compact body will come as a sweet relief to anyone who bemoans the ballooning state of modern Android flagships. Any iPhone users looking to make the switch to Android, meanwhile, will struggle to find a phone that makes the transition any easier. It’s not without its flaws, however, and there’s definite room for improvement. The Zenfone 9 arguably either needs to be a little cheaper, or it needs a little more refinement for its newly elevated asking price. That design, while sharp from most angles, falls short from the front, and the phone lacks wireless charging. Meanwhile the camera, while mostly solid and impressively steady, isn’t top of its class, and throws up some weird artefacts in low-light shooting. It’s still a hugely impressive effort, however, and a phone that faces very little competition within its pint-sized flagship niche.

That pleasantness extends to the experience of using the phone to do day-to-day things. It feels responsive and polished. The built-in speakers are better than average. If I forget to charge my wireless earbuds, I can just plug in wired headphones. The power button even does what it’s supposed to when you hold it down for Pete’s sake! Realistically, the Zenfone 9 is destined for cult classic status in the US. It doesn’t work on all carriers in the US, and the American public has spoken loud and clear that it wants big phones. For not much more money, the Samsung Galaxy S22 is a better choice for most people, with broad carrier support, a telephoto camera on every model, and a solid five-year security support policy to back it all up. I just hope that something like the Zenfone 9 can remain an option in our current duopoly for small phone superfans like me.

In terms of availability and pricing, ASUS haven’t provided any details, retail pricing or availability for the Zenfone 9, however, it is Ausdroids understanding that the Zenfone 9 could be around the same if not similar pricing to the current Zenfone 8 device of 2021. If it is the same price or at least close to, then it could be worth it but without pricing, I honestly can’t say either way if it is worth forking out for the Zenfone 9.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is the compact phone of choice, making few compromises to deliver a flagship experience in a smaller package. There's plenty of power and performance, with good cameras only marred by the lack of telephoto. The design is attractive and the build is quality, including waterproofing. Still, the phone is let down through the software - bloat and app duplication are compounded by relatively short support, with only two years of updates.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is one of the most enjoyable-to-use Android phones I've reviewed all year. Its new design is fresh and appealing, performance is blistering, and its compact body will come as a sweet relief to anyone who bemoans the ballooning state of modern Android flagships. Any iPhone users looking to make the switch to Android, meanwhile, will struggle to find a phone that makes the transition any easier. It’s not without its flaws, however, and there’s definite room for improvement. The Zenfone 9 arguably either needs to be a little cheaper, or it needs a little more refinement for its newly elevated asking price. That design, while sharp from most angles, falls short from the front, and the phone lacks wireless charging. Meanwhile the camera, while mostly solid and impressively steady, isn’t top of its class, and throws up some weird artefacts in low-light shooting. It’s still a hugely impressive effort, however, and a phone that faces very little competition within its pint-sized flagship niche.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is, simply put, the best small phone today. But even if the size thing doesn’t matter, the Zenfone 9 is an absolutely great value, particularly in the North American space. To get a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, a gimbal camera system that really works, a vibrant display, in a well-designed package that’s easy to hold, for just $699? Absolute no-brainer recommendation for most people. I’m glad Asus had the foresight to pivot the Zenfone series to a smaller form factor to differentiate itself from the sea of smartphones because as much as I enjoy how every 2022 flagship is a good performer, I am starting to feel a bit of boredom as they all look and feel the same. The Zenfone 9 is a breath of fresh air.

Back to the question – does the world really need a small superphone? Of course not – it needs climate crisis solutions and honest politicians. Do you need a small superphone though? That’s the real question here. At £699, the Zenfone 9 is one of the lowest-cost Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 smartphones around. It’s the only top-tier compact option on the market with gaming phone power, and could be perfect for anyone sick of the oversized overlords of the Android flagship world. It’s also bursting with value. From the touch-sensitive, customisable Smart Key, to the autofocusing ultra-wide and selfie cameras, and hard plastic shell in the box – the list of value adds is as long as the phone is short. We expected the gimbal-stabilised primary camera to be great across the board – but while its video capture impresses, stills performance is less stunning. We would have also loved wireless charging. Imperfect as it may be though, the Zenfone 9 is a very good, compact phone that checks a lot of boxes left unchecked by the competition.

You have to pay for something small and nice... unfortunately, in my opinion it is quite salty. In our market, Asus ZenFone 9 comes in three versions: 8+128 GB, 8+256 GB and even 16+256 GB. The cheapest model costs 799 EUR, the average version is 849 EUR, and the top model is 899 EUR That's just how much flagships cost at the moment! Nevertheless, I have such a strange feeling that this smartphone could be a little cheaper - then it would definitely be a hit. With prices at the level of competing flagships, well - it tempts primarily with its compactness. Yes, you must admit it, but it is impressive.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is a great little phone at a price you can’t help but be excited about. At the time of writing, the Zenfone 9 is faster than any competitor’s handset in virtually every area. That’s probably because Asus is first out with a mobile based on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. But that still means that all existing models offer less raw performance than this one. The Zenfone 9, by the way, is a nifty little thing that fits in most pants pockets. The screen is colourful and stylish. But too small if you like watching movies on your phone. Mounting a mobile camera on a gimbal is so unusual that only Asus could come up with it. But it actually works, and it can both stabilise video footage and give sharper stills in the dark. All in all, the Asus Zenfone 9 is one of the most attractive mobile phones right now. It’s unlikely to change Asus’ status as a niche manufacturer. But consider going against the mainstream by buying one.

For us in the US, it’s tough to recommend the Zenfone 9. I really like this phone, and if it had the Pixel’s camera, it’d be my new daily driver. But in the US, it’s tough because we don’t have a release date or a price yet. It is coming to the US, but we don’t know when. And it’ll also only be available unlocked, as ASUS does not have carrier relationships, which means it’s not going to sell super well here. That also means ASUS is likely not in a huge rush to bring it Stateside. But if you are in Asia or Europe and are looking for a good, small and compact smartphone, then look no further than the ASUS Zenfone 9. At €799, it’s pretty competitive. Considering the smallest Galaxy S22 is €50 more. Keep in mind that the €799 price is for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, not the 16GB/256GB model that we have here.

If small and powerful is what you want from a smartphone, the Asus Zenfone 9 delivers, but it’s not quite the full flagship phone experience in a tiny package some may still crave, and the reason why is pure physics. The size of the battery and the complexity of the camera are constrained due to the size of the phone. You simply can’t fit a whopping battery and six cameras inside. You end up with a compromise. If you don’t care much about a really fantastic, feature-packed camera but want the overt power to play the latest games and multitask to your heart’s content — but in a phone two-thirds of the size of a Galaxy S22 Ultra or Pixel 6 Pro — it’s a strong option. However, if you plan on making full use of the Zenfone 9’s ability, the battery life may not always keep up. The screen, although attractive, isn’t as bright as we’d like either. Asus is very good at making capable, exciting smartphones for small segments of the phone-buying public.

Setting out to make a proper flagship in a tiny body, Asus did a lot of things right with the Zenfone 9, with only minimal compromise. If we have to point out its missteps, those will include the lack of wireless charging (all the bar phones above have it, and so does the Flip) and the missing telephoto camera. These are both more or less understandable omissions, given how both take up valuable space. The rather slow Night mode implementation had to be mentioned, but it's more of a niggle in the absence of other flaws and one that could potentially be fixed in an update. The rest of the Zenfone 9 is actually pretty great, starting with the water-resistant build and eye-catching design. The large circles on the back aren't just for show, and camera performance is respectable with autofocus across all lenses and a particularly impressive video stabilization capability. The latest top-end Qualcomm chipset delivers excellent performance and is also decently efficient, which results in class-leading longevity when coupled with the YoY increase in battery capacity.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is a phone that is proudly different from the others, at least as far as its design is concerned. Its small size and thin aspect ratio, along with its retention of the 3.5mm headphone jack, are unusual choices, and it is undeniably good to see all of these make rare appearances on a high-end phone and broaden the range of options for consumers. From our brief time with the phone, the screen seemed good rather than great, likewise with the camera system, though we need more time with them before we can reach our final conclusion. However, we’re expecting great things from its processor, which has already proved itself on other flagship devices, and the battery too could be highly promising.

Still, the Zenfone 9’s unique design, compact size, Bluetooth and audio features (including a headphone jack!), and hardware gestures combine to offer a package that does enough differently to warrant your attention. Asus’ minimal Android skin is paired with customizable gestures to make the phone your own without cluttering up the interface. Performance is swift while battery life is long enough to cover essential day-to-day tasks with no problem, but this isn’t a phone built to convert the big-screen power user. The Zenfone 9 is a fine little handset, even if it’s not quite fully fleshed out with the necessary features for the price Asus is asking. The lack of wireless charging, middling dual camera setup, and single storage capacity should give you pause for thought. You can easily find more hardware for your buck on today’s market, and most other phones will be kept up to date much longer, though they might take up a bit more space in your pocket.

ASUS says that engineering resources constrains are the reason it can only deliver two platform updates to its phones, but when you consider that all other phones in this category will get at least one more Android OS version update than the Zenfone 9, it is a letdown. That said, there really isn't another device that quite manages to deliver the combination of hardware, cameras, and clean software in such a small chassis, so if you're still on the lookout for a small flagship, your search ends here.

The Asus Zenfone 9 is very close to being a world-class, compact flagship smartphone, but its camera falls short of excellence and it misses out on wireless charging. Despite those drawbacks, it’s still an incredibly powerful, stable, compact Android phone with long-lasting battery life, a great screen and some charming smart features.

Palm-sized smartphones are becoming increasingly rare, so the Zenfone 10 is just right: it promises a lot of power in a compact format at comparatively moderate prices. Find out in our review whether buyers have to make compromises.

If you want a compact Android handset without sacrificing performance then the Asus Zenfone 10 is hard to beat. But the balance of price and features is not quite perfect: a few tweaks could improve the value proposition. If you’re looking for a great allrounder then you’ll need to weigh it up against the likes of the Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S range. One key question to consider is whether you really need all of that grunt, when a few features like the camera quality and charging speeds lag behind what you might expect at this price point.

I have to say there have been some improvements over last year’s Zenfone 9 with the new Zenfone 10 and honestly I am still a little baffled by the device given it is still a much smaller device compared to other high end devices which then Zenfone is technically marketed for. That being said, if you do prefer a small device that still offers high-end features and capabilities, alongside having a 3.5mm audio jack and offers a good camera and user experience, then the Zenfone 10 could be the device you are looking for. In all honesty, it is a device that could persuade me to rethink bigger is better, not that I am a size queen!

I think that it is the compact size, combined with flagship capabilities and equipment, that make this smartphone so unique. Do I recommend it? Honestly, I wouldn't buy it for myself because it's a bit too small for me. But those who need a small smartphone will be truly satisfied. They don't have to make any compromises, because with this Asus they will get everything that's best, only in a compact form. Finally, a few words about prices. As you might expect, they are as flagship as the equipment of this phone. Starting from PLN 799 for the basic 8/128 version, the average 8/256 can be purchased for EUR 849, and the 16/512 for EUR 929. These are not exaggerated prices, they are adequate to what this phone represents in terms of equipment. It's simply a flagship in a smaller package.

The Asus Zenfone 10’s display performance was in line with other screens in its category. Although the Zenfone 10’s maximum brightness, which we measured at 980 nits, was not as high as other devices. The device’s screen readability was well-adapted to indoor and low-light conditions. The display stood out with its great color rendering in all lighting conditions, achieving a color score that was only a few points away from the top. However, when viewing the screen at an angle, the device showed visible irisations in alternating green and pink colors, depending on the angle viewed. The Zenfone 10’s touch and motion performances make the device well suited for gaming, despite some image aliasing on highly detailed games such as Asphalt 9. When viewing HDR10 videos on the Asus Zenfone 10, the screen adapted its brightness correctly, with a fair rendering of dark tones, but mid tones were flat amid a visible green cast over the display.

If you want a really small Android phone, and want better camera performance, then you’d be better off looking at the previous version of this phone, the Asus Zenfone 9, which has a better set of cameras. Alternatively you should look at the Samsung Galaxy S23, and S22, which both feature a triple camera system with a telephoto camera. Like the Zenfone 9, however, the 10 offers some mixed results, with the main camera performing the best, but worse than other phones on the market, with lens flare being a problem. There’s a reasonable but downgraded ultra-wide-angle camera, and a downgraded selfie camera. It’s unfortunate that this phone can’t seem to match or compete with Samsung or Google. There are other phones available for less that offer better cameras, and better photographs.

The Asus Zenfone 10 delivered a balanced performance in the DXOMARK Audio tests, doing quite well in both playback and recording. The device’s main drawbacks in terms of audio quality were a lack of treble in playback, which resulted in a slightly muffled and dark sound, as well as a high sensitivity to wind noise in recording, despite a dedicated wind-noise reduction function. Playback performance through the built-in speakers was consistent across use cases, whether listening to music, watching movies or playing games. As a recording device, the Zenfone 10 delivered the best results with vocal memos, but performance was also great with the main camera app.

Like Zenfone 8 or Zenfone 9, Zenfone 10 is definitely worth buying. And at a reasonable price for such a good device. The advantages are, of course, the small size, quality build, processor, smoothness and software solutions offered by ASUS in combination with customised pure Android, 3.5 mm jack, design and long-lasting battery, which the Zenfone 8 could not boast of, which I had to charge sometimes up to three times a day. The disadvantages include slightly weaker cameras compared to competitors, lack of even greater evolution compared to its predecessor, no eSIM, for some, “only” 30W of charging, short support (up to two versions of Android) and sluggish and unstable software updates. If you have a Zenfone 8, then upgrading to the Zenfone 10 will be a huge positive leap, while if you have a Zenfone 9, then you should only upgrade to the 10 if you need wireless charging and the latest version of Android for as long as possible.

The Asus Zenfone 10 is the definition of an iterative upgrade, with a few small upgrades (and one or two downgrades), however, Asus hasn’t fixed many of the issues and dubious choices of the Zenfone 9 – the price is too high for what you get, the chipset is unnecessarily powerful and the cameras and charging speed are just ‘fine’. If you’re dead set on getting a mini mobile, it’s worth considering, but otherwise, move on.

At $699, the Asus Zenfone 10 competes closely with the OnePlus 11, Google Pixel 7 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S23, all three of which field better software upgrade policies (three-to-four years versus Asus' two) and are made by brands that you can trust for after-sales support. There are really two types of users that I'd recommend the Asus Zenfone 10 to: Compact phone enthusiasts and audiophiles who seek a modern handset that still has a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you're on either end of those spectrums, or both, no other phone will serve you better.

It's the best small phone for fans of compact handsets, but the Asus Zenfone 10 could pull users away from Samsung and Google flagships with top-quality performance and battery life. If you can forgive its more limited photography options and the shorter-than-average software support window, the Zenfone 10 is a top choice.

The ASUS Zenfone 10 is a compact smartphone that easily fits in a pocket but the display feels a bit too small when in use. You only have 2 cameras on the rear and it's a shame there's no telephoto lens built-in as this would have really added to the types of photos you can capture with the Zenfone 10. Photo quality is generally good but some results are overcooked which not everyone will like. The ultrawide lens does perform well, though, as does 2x zoom and the bokeh is lovely, too. The inclusion of gimbal IS is great, helping keep shots steady and the lag we found on the Zenfon 9 seems to have been fixed on the Zenfone 10. Another plus is the headphone jack and waterproof rating. Price is another slight hurdle as while it's not too expensive, it's not reasonable enough (yet) to make it a smartphone you'd not question buying. Give it some time for the price to come down and this compact smartphone could be one you take a look at.

If you need a small phone in 2023, the Zenfone 10 is the best option by a long mile. ASUS has once again managed to deliver a phone that delivers all the features you want in a high-end phone in a chassis that's designed for one-handed use. There's even a 3.5mm jack here, and you get wireless charging as well. Throw in a clean software with extensive customizability, IP68 ingress protection, and decent cameras, and you get a phenomenal all-round package. I would've liked a zoom lens as that would've made the Zenfone 10 just that little-bit more suited for my own needs, but other than that omission, there isn't anything missing here.

The Asus Zenfone 10 is another cool glass of water in a smartphone desert populated by lumbering supersized flagships – especially now that the iPhone Mini line is no more. It’s small, smart-looking, and eminently capable. The improvements over the Zenfone 9 are admittedly few and far between, and I would have liked to have seen more progress in the design and camera categories, not to mention charging speeds. It’s never good to see smartphone prices going up either, though that appears to be the norm in 2023. Performance and battery efficiency have taken a step forward, however, and the provision of wireless charging removes one glaring area of compromise from the Zenfone package. Overall, the Zenfone 10 is the best – and indeed only – genuinely compact flagship on the market, but it’s one that’s still just a few tweaks away from being a definitive statement.

The Zenfone 10 is an impressive phone with a spec sheet rammed full of everything you could possibly ask for. It’s got amazing battery life, top-tier performance, a headphone jack, and some of the most customisable software going, all in a phone that’s actually going to fit in most pockets. Despite this, it’s a premium-priced phone that has below-flagship cameras. If you don’t care about having the best phone camera then you won’t mind, but you can get a better shooter, and spend much less, with the Google Pixel 7a. Asus also needs to do better with software support. A phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will perform well for at least five years, but Asus only promises two Android version updates with four years of security patches. But if you don’t care about Android’s latest features then this is still an excellent small phone with battery life that defies belief.

There are not too many compact smartphones in the market at the moment. Even Cupertino has retired its compact Apple iPhone 13 mini form factor. Our list of the best compact smartphones provides a nice overview of the current situation. The newest device to make it to this list is the Asus Zenfone 10, which is not only compact but also technically quite capable. It features Qualcomm's latest and fastest Snapdragon processor, which can sometimes get quite nasty when it heats up the aluminum chassis when under load, and a 5.9-inch AMOLED screen that also has a decent refresh rate. At the back, we find a relatively unspectacular-looking dual camera that takes excellent photos during the day and at night, of which the 6-axis gimbal is responsible for such results. What's great about this handset?

It's unclear how big the demand is these days for sub-6-inch phones. But I'm more certain of the fact that the Zenfone 10 has pretty effectively cornered it. It's hard to find anything comparable for a phone this size. The next smallest Android phones we'd recommend would be the 6.1-inch Google Pixel 7a or basic Samsung Galaxy S23, or perhaps the Galaxy Z Flip 4 since that foldable device can close up small when needed. But while these phones at least match the Zenfone in most areas, they're either more expensive, not as powerful or not as power efficient. Unless you prioritize photo quality more than compactness, the Zenfone comes out on top against all of these devices.

I might not personally be a fan of its design, but the Asus Zenfone 10 is a solid smartphone for the money – especially for those sick of giant 6.8-inch displays on smartphones. It’s not nearly as compact as Asus might have you believe, measuring in not much smaller than an iPhone 14 Pro, but the 5.9-inch AMOLED display is at least easy enough to use one-handed. There’s also some cool camera tech on offer, including a new six-axis gimbal stabilisation system that helps reduce blur in both photos and videos, and it makes taking long-exposure shots much easier, negating the need for a tripod. It’s just a shame that the core camera tech is near-identical to its predecessor, meaning there’s no real upgrade to camera quality compared to the Zenfone 9.

After spending a good amount of time living with the Zenfone 10 as my everyday phone, the lasting impression I'm left with is one of a phone that easily slots into life with minimal fuss but also does a lot of stuff really well. It doesn't come with a lot of the caveats you usually have to put up with to have a small phone. There's no "but the battery's rubbish" or "but it's not very powerful" or "but it hasn't got a very good display". It ticks all the right boxes and does it in a phone that's compact, practically designed, and a pleasure to use thanks to the option of using stock Android software. No phone is perfect, and that's certainly true of the Zenfone 10 with its slightly disappointing ultrawide camera. And - to some - the texture and material of the back might just put you off. But if you're in the market for a flagship-powered phone that isn't the size of a house brick, this is the one I'd recommend to most people who don't have the budget to cough up the extra money for the Galaxy S23.

If you want the best phone around for one-handed use, the Zenfone 10 is it. From the compact size to Asus’s software optimisations, it’s a pocket powerhouse that’s low on compromises. The phone’s weakest area is its camera – specifically occasional glitches with colour processing and low-light photography, and that says something as the camera isn’t bad at all. In fact, it’s good and a marked improvement over the Zenfone 9 – no small feat considering there’s no new hardware here. If you want a big screen for gaming and watching, the obvious alternative is the superb OnePlus 11 – a similarly specced and priced phone with a considerable bump in size. For anyone after excellent performance, features, sound credentials and internals at a reasonable price in the smallest package possible, though, nothing can touch the Zenfone 10.

Like any retail purchase, this fully depends on your needs. For me, the answer is a resounding yes, as I wish there were even more small phones on the market. I'm nostalgic for the days when tech kept shrinking, and while I'm normally using a giant device like the ROG phones, this reprieve using the Zenfone 10 is an absolute breath of fresh air. I'm now more reminded than ever that there used to be a time when my phone wasn't the absolute center of attention, demanding it with its size in my pockets. Using the Zenfone 10, I have to keep checking if it's even in my pocket. That's how light it is, and I absolutely love it. Just know what you're getting into before you buy. Large hands will have trouble typing, gamers won't see as much detail on such a small screen, and you surely won't want to perform demanding work on the thing like you would on something larger.

I started out this review talking about how ASUS makes niche smartphones, and you really can’t get much more niche than a compact phone. The Zenfone 10 is great, however, it’s size is going to make sure it is not a best-seller. Most want a larger screen, not a smaller one. But for those of us that want a smaller phone, this is going to be perfect, since it does not sacrifice anything.

Asus hasn’t gone mad with updates over the Zenfone 9. It has the latest Snapdragon chip, more megapixels on the selfie camera, version 2.0 of the gimbal, and introduced wireless charging. It is the ideal companion device to the massive, powerful, and pretty crazy ROG Phone 7 in Asus’s range, but looked at in isolation, it struggles to find its place. It’s competent, pretty, and powerful, but there’s not much that makes it really special. The size and weight are consistent with its main competition, which aren’t really thought of as “compact” phones at all, and anyone missing the 5-inch Sony XZ2 Compact will still find it too big. Wireless charging certainly isn’t a reason to get excited, which leaves the gimbal camera as the top (only?) technical reason to choose the Zenfone 10 over any other phone.

The Zenfone 10 continues in the footsteps of the 8 and the 9 and brings heaps of performance into an easily pocketable package. Its small size doesn't get in the way of achieving excellent battery life, the Snapdragon chip isn't all too bothered by the compact body, and there was room for the usual headphone jack, but also for the addition of wireless charging. All that is great, but there's just not a whole lot of new stuff about the Zenfone 10, and some of the new stuff rubs us the wrong way. We're not entirely sure that the gaming-only 144Hz refresh rate on the display counts, and we most definitely aren't thrilled about having to change the camera section heading from 'AF all around' to 'AF gone'. And while allowances can be made for the absence of a zoom camera on a phone that small, that argument wears thin next to competitors with proper triple-cam setups.

The Asus Zenfone 10 is basically everything the iPhone mini should have been. Pocketable and powerful, while still offering marathon battery life. Not only is the size appealing, but it offers unique and colorful styling that is almost as rare as a small flagship phone in 2023. While I wish Asus had more thoroughly nailed the entire camera experience, the primary camera and selfie cameras are good enough, that I think most users will be satisfied, despite the disappointing ultra-wide and lack of a telephoto lens. The only outstanding question on the Asus Zenfone 10 is the cost, but if Asus brings it in at around the same $699 as its predecessor, this is going to be an easy pick for one of the best phones of 2023. If you need a phone right now or don’t want to spend over $500, the Google Pixel 7a is the clear alternative, but if you value performance and battery life over cameras, you’ll want to wait for the Zenfone 10.

The Asus Zenfone 10 isn’t just the most powerful compact model on the market right now. It’s one of the most powerful Android mobiles on the market altogether – and in terms of speed, it’s on par with the best from Samsung, Xiaomi and OnePlus. At the same time, the Zenfone 10 has the best image stabilisation of any phone, paired with a pretty good camera section. Despite all these advantages, it’s unlikely to change Asus’ position as a niche manufacturer. The brand loyalty of mobile phone buyers is too strong for that. But if you need a mobile phone that fits in a normal pocket and can take pictures under really difficult conditions, it’s impossible to ignore. If you already have a Zenfone 9, you can safely skip the Zenfone 10. There are small improvements and the speed is 15-20 per cent faster. But it’s not a revolution. Better wait until next year, when we might hope that Asus may give us a telephoto lens.

The Asus Zenfone 10 is a triumph. Forget the smaller size for a second – this is every bit the flagship phone. Sure, the camera is a little underwhelming compared to the best on the market, but it's still more than enough for all but the most hardcore of power-users. The video performance more than makes up for it, too. If you enjoy taking videos – particularly while on the move – I can't think of a single device which outshines this. It's effortless to use and the results are really beautiful. The main appeal here is that smaller format, though. For a long time, users looking for a flagship device in a small size have been forced to compromise on something. The Zenfone 10 means that's no longer the case.

We're very pleased that, despite all the rumors, Asus decided to stick with the compact idea for the Zenfone 10. Some leaks suggested that the company was going to scrap the "small flagship" philosophy and go bigger. Fortunately, we have our next compact flagship, and even though some people might call it the Zenfone 9S or 9.5, it's still one of the best compact Android phones on the market. The camera situation is probably the most disappointing one, robbing the Zenfone 10 of a perfect score. Sticking with more or less the same hardware weighs the Zenfone 10 down when other manufacturers move rapidly forward in this department. That being said, the gimbal stabilization onboard is still one of the best on the market, and adding Adaptive mode allows people to produce amazing videos in almost every possible scenario.

Reviewing the Asus Zenfone 10 after two weeks, with an unboxing, full camera verdict, gaming performance and battery life. The Asus Zenfone 10 is one of the best phones of 2023, hot competition vs the Pixel 7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra etc - and my favourite mini smartphone. Here in the UK, that price starts from £749 although you can pre-order and get £50 off. Bargain! The Zenfone 10’s weakest feature is that camera tech, which is good but not as dependable as the Pixel or Galaxy. Low light is more of a struggle and at the moment this phone has focus issues, something that'll hopefully be sorted in an update.

The Zenfone 10 from ASUS continues the small phone trend. You get a 5.9-inch screen with 144Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a main camera supported by a gimbal system. The software of the ASUS Zenfone 10 is good as ever -- Android 13 with lots of customizations.

The big reason to have your eye on the ASUS Zenfone 10 is, ironically, its small stature. With a compact 5.92-inch 120Hz FHD+ display, this is a small flagship Android phone built in the guise of the regular Apple iPhone 14, Samsung Galaxy S23, and Google Pixel 7 rather than their gargantuan powerhouse siblings. Still, the ASUS Zenfone 10 doesn’t leave us wanting for high-end features. An IP68 rating and solid-sounding speakers are a staple of ASUS’ setup, while 15W Qi wireless charging is a new addition to the series this year. There’s even a headphone jack; a feature long absent from its aforementioned rivals. Performance is rock solid thanks to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, healthy 16GB RAM, and ample 512GB storage on the model I tested. The handset also comes in 8GB/126GB and 8GB/256GB memory options too.

I might not personally be a fan of its design, but the Asus Zenfone 10 is a solid smartphone for the money – especially for those sick of giant 6.8-inch displays on smartphones. It’s not nearly as compact as Asus might have you believe, measuring in not much smaller than an iPhone 14 Pro, but the 5.9-inch AMOLED display is at least easy enough to use one-handed. There’s also some cool camera tech on offer, including a new six-axis gimbal stabilisation system that helps reduce blur in both photos and videos, and it makes taking long-exposure shots much easier, negating the need for a tripod. It’s just a shame that the core camera tech is near-identical to its predecessor, meaning there’s no real upgrade to camera quality compared to the Zenfone 9.

After spending a good amount of time living with the Zenfone 10 as my everyday phone, the lasting impression I'm left with is one of a phone that easily slots into life with minimal fuss but also does a lot of stuff really well. It doesn't come with a lot of the caveats you usually have to put up with to have a small phone. There's no "but the battery's rubbish" or "but it's not very powerful" or "but it hasn't got a very good display". It ticks all the right boxes and does it in a phone that's compact, practically designed, and a pleasure to use thanks to the option of using stock Android software. No phone is perfect, and that's certainly true of the Zenfone 10 with its slightly disappointing ultrawide camera. And - to some - the texture and material of the back might just put you off. But if you're in the market for a flagship-powered phone that isn't the size of a house brick, this is the one I'd recommend to most people who don't have the budget to cough up the extra money for the Galaxy S23.

If you want the best phone around for one-handed use, the Zenfone 10 is it. From the compact size to Asus’s software optimisations, it’s a pocket powerhouse that’s low on compromises. The phone’s weakest area is its camera – specifically occasional glitches with colour processing and low-light photography, and that says something as the camera isn’t bad at all. In fact, it’s good and a marked improvement over the Zenfone 9 – no small feat considering there’s no new hardware here. If you want a big screen for gaming and watching, the obvious alternative is the superb OnePlus 11 – a similarly specced and priced phone with a considerable bump in size. For anyone after excellent performance, features, sound credentials and internals at a reasonable price in the smallest package possible, though, nothing can touch the Zenfone 10.
