Where the wealth of wisdom
flourishes, there starts human’s form of mettle, satisfaction and curiosity.
Under the boon of Science for twentieth century, people around us have been
breathing in technology in sacred incarnations of the Personal Computer, the
Mobile and the Internet. What indeed, could have been better, radical and
innovative in this Age of Evolution, to the human race!
One such boon here, for the
psyche in the world of mobility is the new Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML).
A premium gaming brand for motherboards and other PC-s, Asus had made its mark
dating back to almost two decades of glory and fame down the path of
competition in computer peripherals and PC-s. In recent past, Asus mobiles are
slowly becoming their hallmark.
Asus is known for the quality in
the build and performance of its devices and the all-time positive feedback and
the word-of-mouth promotions successively added the seed to its popularity. With
a minimal market share of 7.4% in Q42014 [EQ], Asus mobiles had seen a soaring
growth of 402% which never failed to tell. Now in 2015, one of its flagship
mobiles have been the Zenfone and ZE551ML has proven all quality standards
exceeding consumer expectations, including those of color accuracy and color
Gamut chart, AnTuTu, Vellamo, Quadrant and CPUMark, NenaMark 2 and GFXBench.
With its powerfully sleek
ergonomic body design, it has won a tremendous score over customer choice in
the most economic or pocket-friendly mobile handset in the range of Rs. 10,000
to Rs. 20,000. The Value-for-Money has a
jaw-dropping ratio of 11.4% taking into account the project cost and shadow bid
which surpassed every other budget smartphone in this price range, such as
Xolo, Micromax, Oppo, RedMi, Karbonn and alike.
The
first thing a typical mobile-buyer would feel in hand, is the iconic
concentric-circle textural design which had put the engineering team of Asus to
test. With the tough and theoritically scratch proof Corning Gorilla 3 screen
protection, The ZE551ML boasts of a 5.5” IPS density screen along a 1920 x 1080
pixel resolution. The color density and reproduction which stretches to provide
an enormous 403 ppi density, viewing angles and tough response ar beyond par
excellence than any other competitor in its price range. The Zenfone in its
uniquely modeled Zen UI provides for everything an Android user may ever crave
for in customization and optimization of performance. To fuel it and yet keep
it cool in the processors, Asus is using a 64-bit Quad Core (maxed to 2 by 2
cores) in Intel Atom Z3560 clocking the max at 1.8 Ghz. The processor
temperature gets peaked to 45 degrees while playing graphically overdriven
games like Modern Combat 4, C.O.D. Strike Team, Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8 etc.
This temperature is normal as the Intel processor hyperthreads whenever
multiple cores take the heave.
It
is no mighty a beast in performance if its not strong at the lens and the pixel
density in the offering. The Zenfone 2 stacks in potentially inculpable 13
megapixel rear auto-focus with 4128 x 3096 p.d. with dual-LED flash and F/2.0
aperture lens and 5 megapixel front-facing lenses which is capable of providing
4k videos in full High definition at 30 FPS with zero shutter lag. Though
initial launch premiere reviews of the handset didn’t bring appraised feedback
about the picture qualities on paper, but Nenamark 2 score of 60FPS just breaks
the ice of all critics.
As
far as the package goes which comes out-of-the-box, the Zenfone 2 features the
latest Android 5.0 lollipop powered by a decent Lithium-polymer 3000 maH
non-removable battery and a special add-on for “fast charging” which allows the
device charge upto 60% in just first 40 minutes! The Zenfone 2 is even
bio-friendly to keep in the pocket of your denim or your shirt and you would
not be searching for earplugs in haste, if a call rings up- thanks to the SAR
value as low as 0.35 W/Kg.
Now, the sacrament of this
handset at this price is providing a 4 GB RAM which even some of the modern
PC-s do not come boxed with. This piece here, is one of its kind in the world
of mobility for the 21st Century and beats all other peers hands down when it
comes to the build, design, quality, camera, performance, battery or the
amazing special features it comes preloaded. ZenMotion, SnapView, Mini Movie
are just a handful of some other gifts the buyer gets alongside of.
Needless to say, rolling out the
next Android hallmark, post the Android One, Google may choose Asus to bless
with the next flagship Google mobile considering the quality standards,
hardware specifications, benchmarks and promise of service that Asus delivers
to its overwhelmed customers. Rest assured, this gizmo in your pocket would
keep you happy at the end of the day as it meet both your ends of budget and
what Asus offers you in a steal!
