Maybe in some areas like low-light, the Lumia 920 may come ahead, but overall the ZenFone has a shockingly good camera and mind you it's expected to cost less than Rs 20,000. The ZenFone 5 is arguably the best camera phone south of Rs 25,000, and that includes the Nokia Lumia 920 and this is saying a lot. Videos are still, and the colours are very realistic and the quality of audio capture is also very good.

The ZenFone also offers a number of manual controls like ISO, camera resolution, white balance, exposure, in addition to a number of live filters.įor video too, the ZenFone showcases brilliant imaging pedigree. Its low resolution does not help with detail and is best used for video calls instead of selfies. The 2-megapixel front facing camera is passable at best. In our testing this mode worked quite well, though one has to set how many faces it has to detect before taking a picture. It clicks a couple of images, so the user can choose the best picture. The camera is able to detect a face and shoot away. Interestingly, for selfies, Asus wants users to be using the rear camera for which it has added a selfie mode. Other modes include a beautification mode, a Panorama mode, a time rewind mode, a smart remove mode, a GIF animator and also a mode for detecting smiles.

The camera software is also very intelligent in the sense that it automatically notifies the user to switch to the low-light mode whenever it's applicable.Īsus packs in a lot of modes in the camera software. The night mode does a decent job of taking shots in near darkness, but the real cool mode is the low-light mode, which takes photos at a poultry 2-megapixel resolution, but is able to enhance an image with dollops of light even if it is being taken in near darkness. There is a HDR mode, which does a great job of enhancing the highlights. In our testing this mode worked very well, though sometimes shaking hands allowed for the subject to get blurred. Adding to this is the fact that it's 10.3mm thick and weighs 145 grams.Īsus offers a brilliant depth of field mode, which stiches a couple of photos together to blur the background and lock focus on the targeted subject. This means the phone becomes a little unwieldy and one-handed usage on the phone is almost impossible. In terms of height it's a rather tall device, taller than even the BlackBerry Z3, which is a very tall smartphone in its own right. It's essential shape remains rectangular, but it has curved edges. We dropped the phone quite a few times and it survived without any scratches on the back. The back has a matte finish, which feels nice to hold and is extremely solid. On the back it has a beveled polycarbonate back that appears the phone to have a uni-body chassis, but in reality, the back can be removed revealing the microSD card slot and dual-SIM slots. In the week we used the phone we found that it was getting scratched very quickly. While that is true, it also has the propensity to get scratched very easily. It adds character to the rather blocky and rectangular shape of the device. Asus uses its signature 'concentric' circle pattern at the bottom of the display. Its front is built primarily out of glass and metal.
To say the ZenFone 5 is built like a tank is an understatement. The 8-megapixel camera, the flash and the loudspeaker can also be found here. The back gloriously shows off the Asus logo in tandem with Intel's branding.
