In a market in which a phone is launched every fortnight,
how does a company make a difference with the right features and the right
market price? Well Asus has recently launched the Zenfone 2 and it has
definitely caught my eye with its quality offering at a price of INR 22999/-. As
a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogger I have my own reasons to shortlist the Asus Zenfone 2 for my next phone buy and
believe a lot of you might have the same reasons. No kidding, this phone is
actually an answer to my ideal smartphone need.
I love the design!
The latest offering from the stable of Asus definitely has
an eye catching design which can give a lot of costlier phones a run for their
money. What I found more exciting were the options for the back covers which
weren’t only in different colors but also in different textures. I’m going to
get all the back covers!!
Battery life is
superb
Being a blogger, my phone is a vital part of my work since I
do a lot especially related to social media through my phone. I use my phone for
atleast 6 hours a day and so need one to last much longer. Asus offers a 3000
mAH battery which practically lasts for a day and a half of normal usage. The
phone charges from 0 to 100 in almost 1.5 hours.
Accessibility and usability is awesome!
This ZenUI comes preloaded with motion gestures. With the
help of these you can start an app without unlocking the phone. To top that, the
phone can be unlocked or locked by just tapping the phone screen. In the drop
down menu some very useful shortcuts have been added to access some utility
apps which won’t be seen on any pure android phone.
The display is fabulous!
My current phone
has a 5 inch screen and I need something slightly bigger, brighter and crisper
because my work involves a lot of photos and videos. Packed with a 5.5 inch
1920*1080 fHD display with a pixel density of 403, everything on this phone looks
pretty.
It’s scratch
resistant J
My daughter has a bad habit of throwing my phone. No matter
how careful I am with my current phone, it has a fall regularly and gets
scratched. Asus has made the screen of the Zenphone 2 with corning glass 3
which makes the screen super scratch resistant which is a huge boon.
It’s my perfect
multi-tasking partner
Apps which are always on constant use on my phone include
apps such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Emails, and loads of other
video and photo editing softwares. My requirement is a phone that can handle
all of this without even the minutest of lag. The Zenfone2 comes packed with
the combination of a 64 bit Intel Atom Quadcore processor and 4 GB DDR3 Ram
which makes it smooth as butter thus making it a top contender.
Super storage
In a day I generate atleast 200-500 MB of content for my
blog while searching for pictures and videos and also editing them. This phone has
an internal memory of 64 GB which will let me stay worry free atleast for 2 to 3 months without backup.
Such an amazing
camera
There are a lot of phones that promise you a good camera but
none that I know live upto what the Zenfone 2 offers. Like everyone else it
comes with a 13 MP back and 5 MP front camera but what differentiates it is the
pixel master for low light pictures. It increases the brightness of the
pictures up to 400% and makes it simple to click even in the dark. You can
adjust the shutter speed thus letting you take those creative pictures in the
night. The autofocus mood while you’re recording a video gives you that high
end feel of a DSLR.
I did a lot of research and after trying the a lot of the
other biggies including phones that cost double, the ASUS ZENFONE2 in my
opinion is definitely what I am going for!!!
