Asus ZenFone 5 is a solid cellphone launched many years ago, packed with a good size 5" multi touch capacitive display, a very fast 2000 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.
Asus decided to design this phone using a high-tech 2000 megahertz Dual-Core processor, bundled in a Intel Atom Z2580 chip with a huge 2 GB RAM. A nice aspect of the Asus ZenFone 5 is its quite big 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD card slot, enough to store hundreds of apps without any problem.
This device is sold in a lot of color variations like black, purple, red, white and gold. This device is quite a compact device, given that it presents a 5 inches screen and it is just 5.83" long and 2.87" wide. This device's thickness of 0.41 inches is a little bit far from current standards, but it still feels quite comfortable in the hand. Asus has made a really good design job making this cellphone weight only 5.11 oz.
This device includes a interesting 5-inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels composing the display. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This cellphone provides wi-fi capability (although it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a wireless modem), HSPA+ 4G data connection, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This phone features two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. This cellphone also shoots videos in Full HD 1920x1080. In addition, the camera has a few useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash, geo tagging and digital image stabilization.
This phone also includes a handful of interesting features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone counts with a 2110 mAh high capacity Li-Polymer replaceable battery that can keep it running for several hours, although you may need to charge it if you use it too much.
This phone is being sold for 165 dollars, not cheap for this type of phone. This cellphone is a very good choice for you if you will use it for playing games, need this phone for work or will use this phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks.
