Asus ZenFone 5 Review

Dual SIM     See other variants reviews Score: 59.2 / 100

Asus ZenFone 5 is a mid level phone launched some years ago, in 2014, coming with an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor clocking at 2 GHz, a 5-inches screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera.

Asus decided to build this phone using an exceptional 2000 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, packed into a Intel Atom Z2580 chip and a big 2 GB of RAM. A nice advantage of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite large internal storage memory and an SD card slot, enough to store hundreds of applications and games without any trouble.

The Asus ZenFone 5 is much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone of this size. This cellphone is available in many different color options like black, purple, red, white and gold. This phone is a compact phone, taking into consideration it features a 5" display and it only has 5.83" long and 2.87" wide. The Asus ZenFone 5 is quite slim and comfortable, whereas it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones nowadays, with a thickness of 0.41 inches.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. It also films videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). The camera also counts with a few useful characteristics: auto-focus, flash, geo tagging and digital image stabilization.

This cellphone is equipped with a good level 5 inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look very good. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone offers WiFi capability (although it can't share it with other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) data connection, which is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Asus ZenFone 5 has dual sim so it is able to use two different carriers or phone numbers at the same time.

This cellphone features a 2110 mAh incredible Li-Polymer battery providing the Asus ZenFone 5 a quite long battery life.

This phone also includes a couple of useful features such as Bluetooth (4.0, EDR) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Asus is selling this phone for 175 dollars, which is very expensive for comparing with other similar cellphones. This phone is the right one for you no matter if you want a cellphone to play tons of games, want a work cellphone or will use it mainly for social networks and internet browsing.
