Review: Asus Zenfone 2

When it comes to smartphones, what drives your choices? If looks and materials are important to you, the bulky, plastic-shielded Asus Zenfone 2 won't make your shortlist. But if all the stuff under the hood counts for more points, then the gigantic, hulking shape of the device won't matter to you as...
Pros:
  • Snappy and rare high-end Intel processors and plenty of RAM
  • Handy gestures can launch specific apps from standby
  • Fully customizable skin
  • Ultra-cheap, considering what you get
  • Comes with 5GB of free cloud storage forever, and 100GB of Google Drive storage free for two years
Cons:
  • Large bezels, poor choice of materials, and too large of a body
  • So much plastic! Heavy, hard to work with one hand
  • Capacitive buttons are not illuminated
  • Comes with a ton of redundant apps that are a chore to get rid of

At a very affordable $119.99, the price point is definitely the best aspect of the ASUS Zenfone 2E, making this one of the easiest entry points into the world of Android. Not a lot of smartphones feature such a low price tag, and even those that are commonly considered budget-friendly, including the...
Pros:
  • -Design is spartan
  • easy to handle -Replacement back cover (black/white) included -Expandable storage -Battery has potential

Initially presented at CES 2015 , the Asus Zenfone 2 – the world's first smartphone to ship with a 64-bit processor and 4 GB of RAM, was a bit of a showstopper. But perhaps the most spectacular part of the Zenfone 2 isn't its specs sheet, but its price: the ''lighter'' version of the Zenfone 2, with...

  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 64-bit CPU
  • Customizable ZenUI
  • Pixel Master low-light technology
  • Premium looks and build quality
  • Dual-SIM and microSD card slots

Asus ZenFone 2

Designing a phone for the middle of the market is tough. A flagship device gets all the bells and whistles, while a low-end device gets the bare minimum to hit its target price. In the middle, however, the OEM needs to find just the right balance between design, features, performance, and price.
Pros:
  • Price ? Performance ? Audio quality ? ZenUI
  • microSD support ? Dual Active SIM
Cons:
  • Ergonomics ? Display brightness
