Asus Zenfone 2 launched officially in India with price tags

Hello guys this is Santhosh kumar back for a compact review of the Asus #zenfone2 pricing and the features.

I just saw the live streaming of the #Asus zenfone 2's launching ceremony online via facebook. This phone has created a very huge hype that got almost everybody's attention in the tech communities. The reason is the whooping 4GB of RAM. Yes you read it right It's a whooping 4GB of RAM which is included in the phone.

I was very eagerly waiting for the pricing of the phone because I got hyped more than Asus even. I got so excited that I sleep thinking of the releasing date in India and the pricing. That much mad is what i got into.

The phone features a massive 5.5 inch FHD (1920x1080) display which is a IPS one. So the clarity needs no words to explain the crispness of the display. The next feature is the screen to body ratio. It offers a screen to body ratio of 72% which makes the device feel like using a 5 inch device instead of making the user feel like holding a 6 inch phone in the hands.

When i wrote hands... this thing came into mind. The phone has a super curved arc back which provides a sleek design for the phone which also provides a great grip and hence the chances of slipping the phone from the hands is much lesser than any other phone out in the market. 

But don't worry about slipping the phone into your pockets. The phone fits very well into the pocket so that the phone does not feel big even though the screen size is 5.5 inch. The camera is another big feature that uses #PixelMaster technology which offers a very great low light photography shots.The PixelMaster technology provides photos that are 400 % brighter than other cameras.  Two photographers who are known for their works in the photography came to the launching ceremony of zenfone2 and they spoke about the camera features that this phone offered.

They even showed some shots took in Paris and India which came out to be very good. It's not just a mobile camera it offers the experience and control of a DSLR offerings.

The front camera is incredible too. The angle and the aperture offers  selfie panorama which will not miss out anybody in a #selfie or #groupfie. The back camera is 13 MP and front camera is 5 MP. 

Another feature I personally say is the #ZenUI. 

It offers much more optimizations for the smoothening of the phone and also enriched with customization facilities of the phone starting from theme of the launcher to font of the phone.

I found this personally very interesting because I personally neve have the stock android theme. I uses third party launchers or anything else. But Asus has helped persons like me to change everything. Or for changing some settings you might need to root your phone which will return "warranty void.". With zenfone you can natively customize the ZenUI.

The performance of the phone is not a problem indeed. 

The prime version of the phone houses an Intel 2.3 GHz quad core processor which is a 64 Bit one, PowerVR G6430 coupled with massive 4GB of RAM. With this Asus gets the name for producing the world's first 4GB RAM phone producer and Zenfone gets the name. 

The touch responsive is the fastest of all the phones out in the market : 60ms.

Finally the price point. Zeonfone 2 is being launched in India in 4 variants.

5.5" HD 2GB RAM 16GB Rs12999

5.5" FHD 2GB RAM 16GB Rs14999

5.5" FHD 4GB RAM 32GB Rs19999

5.5" FHD 4GB RAM 64GB Rs22999

These are the official rates announced by the CEO of Asus Mr.Jeff Chery if I'm not wrong.

Asus also unveiled a lot of other cool accessories for the zenfone 2 like zenflash, lolliflash, smart protection cover and much more. Soon I'll be writing posts about them. So stay tuned.

Will I go for it?

Yes defenitely I will go for this phone. For the specifications this phone offers the price is great and it is completely wort the money. The camera is however a let down. Still as days passed Asus pushed an OTA update which improved the camera performance a lot. Still not up to the mark like the OnePlus One. The camera also offers the digital stabilization which will only suppport 720p. For me these problems just didn't bother much because I hardly can pass one day without my two sim cards and the memory of OnePlus One is not at all enough for me. Still, there are some rumors about the next iteration of the OnePlus's device which will be relesed by Q4 of 2015. I can't wait till then. So I placed an order on Flipkart for the Zenfone 2.
