First about the build quality- This phone is amazingly crafted. It's a beauty, does not feel at all like a 7k phone. build quality is premium. back panel in white
color does not attract any finger prints. It has matte finish. Again the phone is very light in weight and very slim does not feel bulky at all. Perfectly fits in hands
and in pocket. Design is very sleek & better than Moto E (very bulky) and Redmi 1s (cheap quality).
Display- This phone comes with a corning gorilla glass 3 protection; you might not get it on any phone in this
range. It resists scratches and fingerprints. But the display quality is average. 480X800 resolution seems to
be pixelated. It has 240ppi density. Colors
seems faded away, poor color reproduction. And also screen is so reflective. It also does not have light sensor that means you have to manually change brightness
everytime according to the environment. a qHD display might have been done well. I am not satisfied with
display as compared to Moto E and Redmi 1s. Display touch screen responsiveness is very good with soft touch and asus glove technology, you can also use the
phone with wearing gloves. Performance- This phone works like a charm, shows the
power of intel. It has 1.2ghz Intel Atom z2520 dual core processor which actually has 4 CPU's due to the hyper threading technology(as I checked in CPU-Z) hence it
works as a quad core processor. It does not lags at all with a very smooth performance. The combo of this amazing processor and 1GB Ram makes it a powerhouse under 7k. Not even a single lag or hang problem in regular use. I played many casual games
like temple run and subway surfers and heavy games like asphalt 8 and real racing 3, it runs them smoothly without a single lag. Yes it heats a lot while playing
heavy games(but not more than Redmi 1s) as battery is non removable but for regular use it is fine. 4.5GB is available memory and also has SD card slot. Android
4.4 kitkat comes pre installed only in this zenfone (not zenfone 4,5 and 6).
Camera- The 8 MP camera is a decent one. As it comes with the pixelmaster technology by asus, the low light shots are just striking. Flash is also powerful. Picture
quality is a lot better than Moto E and Redmi 1s. zoom is average. Front camera is miserable, very low quality just 0.3 MP not recommended for selfies. disappointed with front camera. Multimedia- This phone can play full HD videos but as I mentioned earlier that display feels pixelated, hence
video watching is not a great joy on this phone but normal. Audio clearity from loudspeaker is good but volume is not that loud, lower than other phones. But
headset sound quality is very good (tested with Creative EP630; you dont get headset with this phone).
Call Quality- The call quality of this phone is average.
Volume is high but the quality of volume is strictly average, feels like the voice is cracking. But cannot demand much for this price.
Battery- The big issue of all android phones is battery. The battery life of this phone is average. with light use it can go a whole day.But charging is very fast (0-100 in 1
hr 20m) For me, with wifi on, music playback of around an hour on speaker, a little bit gaming, 2 hours of web
browsing and etc, the battery lasted for a day. Gaming and audio on speaker discharges battery very quickly on
this. You might have to charge it in the evening. It is better to carry a small power bank for this phone as battery is just 1750Mah. Overall- This phone is truly a vfm because asus is a very good brand and it is best buy for 7K (if you dont trust
Xiaomi).
