Asus Zenfone 5 Consumer Opinions and E valuations

It feels as an awful long time ago that Jonney Shih, the Chairman of Asus, stood up from CES in Las Vegas and with no shortage of drama introduced the new ZenFone range.

And it isn't any surprise it feels like an age has handed, since it's been eight entire months between the announcement of the ZenFones and the units being made available for pre-order by Asus in the UK.

This isn't the first time that Asus offers announced products and then not delivered them in a timely fashion and it is somewhat unfortunate.

Asus continues to be one of the more innovative Android device producers over the past couple of years with the PadFone and Fonepad ranges just a few of the evidence for that accolade. Despite the ZenFones being fairly regular by Asus standards they had been highly expected and it is actually with some excitement that I am able to finally provide a verdict on Asus' efforts.

I have been looking from theZenFone 5, the middle of a range of three (ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 6). The number in the name denotes the phone's screen dimension. The diminutive ZenFone 4 is the smallest, cheapest and least powerful of the three.

It's two larger siblings possess quite comparable specifications however, on document, the ZenFone 6 has the best camera and fastest overall performance.

The three models share a strong family resemblance and most interestingly Intel Atom systems on chip running them rather of the usual Qualcomm Snapdragon potato chips we have grown to be so used to. It is not every day I get to look from the back of a smartphone and see the Intel Inside logo.

The design of the ZenFone range is at first rather traditional and staid, however look a little deeper and there is an awful lot to like. The textured plastic underneath the capacitive buttons has a circular pattern to it not really unlike the back of an Asus laptop computer and the light shines away it in interesting designs.

It isn't distracting when using the phone but this adds a little interest to an otherwise fairly basic front.

Those capacitive buttons are in the correct order for an Android phone although I would choose them to be on-screen. The biggest issue with the buttons is that they are spread too far apart and they aren't backlit. That lack of backlighting is the first clue that this really is a budget phone.

On theZenFone 5there is a very vibrant and sharp 5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel screen. It is actually fair to say that the bezels to the sides of the screen tend to be a bit too large though. If you have used any additional Asus five inch tested phone, this one is basically the exact same size.

There's a 2MP front facing camera, proximity sensor, light sensor and notification LED above the screen. A complete array of sensors is nice to see because the cheaper ZenFone 4 does not have access to the light sensor and therefore doesn't have auto-brightness.

The back of my review ZenFone 5 is completed in this rather fetching red-colored, but this's also available in purple, white and black. Asus states the back feels like ceramic. It doesn't. It feels as though what it's: fairly fundamental plastic.

This is not really a criticism of the material; only at that price stage Asus has done well to make the phone as durable as this. The biggest problem with the back is when prone to fingerprints it's.

The 8MP camera with LED flash is installed above the Asus logo with a wide speaker grille beneath that Intel Inside logo.

Asus offers positioned the buttons and ports in sensible locations on the ZenFone 5 with power and volume regulates on the right side, microUSB on the bottom and a standard headphone jack up top.

Prise the removable back again open and you can observe the non-detachable 2110mAh electric battery, the microSD card expansion position and the SIM slot. A few markets come with dual SIM capability, but not the UK.

There are few compromises right here and even fewer when thinking about the power available to the ZenFone 5. That Intel Atom chip is a Z2560, which is a dual-core 1.6Ghz unit.

It facilitates Intel's HyperThreading technology that allows the operating system to see each physical core because two digesting cores, further improving performance.

Multitasking is excellent on the ZenFone 5 as it's a full 2GB of RAM. The 16GB of internal storage is generous for a device at this end of the market and the microSD card expansion means there is plenty of room for all your media.

In equalling the screen quality of the current lower cost Android champion, the Moto Grams, Asus has made the ZenFone 5 a great gadget for watching video and playing games. The screen is actually bright and sharp and nicely receptive. It is even usable outdoors in sunlight and the auto-brightness will a great work too.

All told, theZenFone 5package is rather excellent. The model I have here only facilitates 3G network bands but there is another design available for £20 (about US$32, AU$36) more that supports 4G and runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chip rather of the Intel Molecule. At simply £179 (around $290, AU$325), this 3G model is great value considering what you get.

Whichever design you get there is actually Bluetooth 4.0, solid GPS, and single band Wi-Fi. There's even a compass and a hall indicator, which is used for the optional cover that Asus sells that can switch the screen upon and off because it is opened or even closed.

Asus has done a great work with the hardware but what of the software? The ZenFone 5 runs Asus' brand new Android skin, Zen UI, which I find very pleasant and colourful. It has the modern toned design that is very much in vogue these days and is quick to operate. Unfortunately it just runs on Android 4.3, which is actually a real pity.

Part of the reason for the lower Android version is that Intel has been a bit slow in providing its update that supports Android 4.4 Kitkat and Asus isn't known for rapid software updates. The 4G design does operate Kitkat though and hopefully Asus may get allZenFone 5's up to date very soon.
