Looking for a nice looking mid-range smartphone that is value for money, comes with great camera features and yet offers high performance in gaming? We present you with ASUS ZenFone 2 and here’s the reason why:
1. Affordable & Readily Available
With a price tag of S$499, you will be getting a smartphone with a Quad-core 2.3GHz Processor, 64GB storage (or S$429 for 32GB) and 4GB RAM that is ready to take on most of your video and gaming needs everywhere you go. Additional storage space of up to 64GB can be added via the microSD card slot, which many of the new premium smartphones no longer support this type of expansion.
Unlike its competition under the same price category, ASUS ZenFone 2 do not require any invitation or constant refreshing the online store webpage in the morning to make a purchase for this affordable smartphone as it is readily available at retail outlets & via contract plans with Singtel, Starhub and M1.
ASUS ZenFone 2 is also the only smartphone currently in the market to offer BoostMaster Fast Charging Technology at under S$500. We will describe more about this technology below.
2. Camera With Useful Features
ASUS ZenFone 2 also comes a decent 13MP camera that is packed with useful features like Super HDR, Low Light Mode, Beautification for flawless selfie and Depth of Field mode to take DSLR like bokeh shots. Pictures speaks louder than words, here are the examples taken using the ASUS ZenFone 2:
ASUS also launched an optional accessory, ASUS LolliFlash, which is a compact dual-colour LED light that can be easily attached to your smartphone to provide ample light in low light conditions, delivering realistic skin tones in your selfies.
3. Design & Colour Choices
With a ergonomic arc back cover and premium brushed metal look finishing, the ASUS ZenFone 2 is comfortable to hold and nice to “show off” without the hefty price tag. ASUS ZenFone 2 also comes in a variety of colours, which include that flamboyant Red for those who seeks attention from the crowd.
The volume button have also been moved to the back of the phone to get that beautiful thin edge that is only 3.9mm thick and giving a ergonomic way of triggering the shutter when taking selfie or when adjusting the volume for your music.
4. Fast Charging & Good Battery Life
BoostMaster Fast Charging Technology licensed by Qualcomm enables you to charge the phone at twice the speed, so you can get up to 60% of your phone in less than 40 minutes. If you need to get out of the house in 10 minutes, BoostMaster will give you up to 4 hours of talktime via 2G network and 2.7 hours of talktime via 3G network.
Even without the BoostMaster, ASUS ZenFone 2 manage to last over 1.5 days with moderate usage for gaming, messaging and calls, which is quite good for smartphone these days.
For emergency, ASUS ZenPower power bank (optional accessory) have a capacity of 10,050mAh battery but yet it is no bigger than a credit card. It also offers high-speed, high-efficiency charging with up to 2.4A output, so it can quickly puts life back into all your devices.
5. ASUS ZenUI
ASUS ZenMotion makes it easy to quickly launch the camera with a simple and intuitive “C” gesture on sleep mode screen or “V” gesture to make a call or “e” gesture to open the email browser. By “double tapping” on sleep mode screen it will instantly wake up the phone. There’s a SHORTCUT for everything.
With SnapView, by entering different screen lock password or pattern when the device is in sleep mode, you can keep your personal content private and your professional life secure, with cross-space notifications to manage both spheres.
Just swipe up on the home screen to launch the ZenUI Launcher and start customizing from Themes to Font style to the type of animation for scrolling, ASUS ZenUI can be easily customized to suit your liking.
