  • Asus Zenfone Zoom Review- Pros and Cons

    Asus is known for innovative products. It never shy away from experimenting with hybrid devices. The latest addition is Zenfone Zoom. The main USP of the device is its innovative 3x optiocal zoom camera.

    We have seen smartphones like Galaxy K Zoom which offered 10x optical zoom. But that is more of a camera rather than a smartphone.  Zenfone Zoom is an attempt to provide good camera without compromising on the comfort of smartphone.

    Zenfone Zoom with Optical Zoom

    Zenfone Zoom sports premium uniobody aluminium frame. The volume and power buttons are placed in the right side of the device. There is also a dedicated camera shutter button and a instant video recording buttons. The back cover is actually made up of plastic but with leather finish.  This gives a good grip and it is comfortable to hold. In summary the design and build quality is satisfactory.

    Zenfone Zoom houses 13MP rear camera and 5MP front facing camera with Pixel master 2.0. The primary camera has 10 element HOYA lens with 4 stop OIS. Unlike other optical zoom devices, there is no protruding lenses in the device. Asus has arranges 10 element lenses in such a manner that they function to arrange the maximum light. The camera also assisted by Laser auto focus and Dual tone LED flash.

    Interms of camera performance, It produces good output in the outdoor conditions. The images taken has good details and colour. In indoor and low light conditions,  performance is just average in auto mode. Thanks to manual mode. If your play with manual mode with ISO, shutter speed settings, you can take impressive images with good details even in low light. It provide ISO setting upto 3200 and shutter speed of 32s. With manual settings, I felt it really takes good images for a smartphone standards.

    Zenfone Zoom Camera Sample

    Asus Zenfone Zoom is powered by 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor with 4GB of RAM and PowerVR G6430 GPU. It has 128GB of internal storage and support for microSD card upto 128GB. The device runs on Android 5.0 with ZenUI. Asus Zenfone Zoom has 3000 mAh battery.  In my couple of days with Zenfone Zoom as primary phone, i have never faced any lagging issue. Multi tasking was smooth and not faced any heating issues even when playing high end games. Battery performance is decent. It lasted for a complete day. The call quality was good and signal reception also excellant.

    Asus Zenfone Zoom sports 5.5 inch IPS full HD display with resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. The screen has Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.  The viewing angles, brightness and color saturations are good. But screen is reflective. Hence outdoor legibility gets a bit hit. Overall display quality is good.

  • Honor 5X Review- Pros and Cons

    Huawei’s sub brand Honor range of smartphones are developed and positioned to compete in the budget and midrange smartphone segment. It was intended to target developing markets like India.

For the price of Rs.12,999 in India, it offers lot of features such as metal body, good screen, decent camera and finger print scanner.

    Huawei Honor 5X

    Fingerprint scanner on the Honor 5X is remarkably accurate. With the fingerprint scanner, you can, not only unlock your phone, you can set different apps to open with different fingerprint. It is dual sim smartphone which accepts one nano SIM card and one microSIM card. Both sim slots are 4G enabled.  Honor 5X is backed by 3000 mAh battery . The battery with normal performance mode turned on, easily lasted for more than a day.

    Honor 5X sports 5.5 inch IPS LCD screen with resolution of 1920×1080 and 401 ppi pixel density. The screen to body ratio is 72.2 percent.  The display screen offers wide viewing angles and  good colors (plus a color temperature adjustment option in the settings). One demerits about the display is it does not have oleophobic coating, hence it attracts smudges from even casual use.

    Honor 5X houses 13 MP primary camera with single-tone LED flash and variable focus, and a 5-megapixel front camera with fixed focus. The primary camera can record 1080p videos and secondary camera is capable of recording 720p. There are plenty of video modes and options available for both the camera such as panorama, all-focus, HDR, slow motion video, watermark, audio note ,beauty, food, time-laps and bunch of manual controls, filters and settings.  The primary camera captures photos with excellent colour and detail in good light.  Low light shots, colour and details bit off. Overall camera performance is decent. The front facing camera performance too good, considering the price. It also takes relatively sharp shots from the 5MP sensor even in indoor lighting.

    Lets us summarize Honor 5X review by segregating the features into merits and demerits. The device will compete with the likes of Letv Le 1S, Lenovo K4 Note, Moto G Turbo etc.
