The Asus Zenfone is technically a mid-range smartphone, but it certainly doesn’t act or feel like one. Things aren’t particularly different or unique in terms of design, and the inspiration from existing devices is obvious, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and the build quality is definitely solid. It’s made of plastic like its predecessors, but the phone doesn’t feel cheap in the hand and is very well put together.Asus states that the Zenfone 2 is a 5.5-inch smartphone in the body of 5-inch smartphone, but while the device is fairly manageable when it comes to one-handed use, it’s certainly nowhere close to what Asus claims, and in fact isn’t even the smallest in this size category either. A lot of the girth has to do with the somewhat thick bezels along the sides of the display, and the chin below it that houses the capacitive keys. That said, the Zenfone 2 is still a very sleek looking device overall, even if I do wish it was slightly smaller for an easier handling experience.
Pros:
Great build quality
Bright and vivid screen
Fast charging technology
Customizable UI
Fantastic performance
MicroSD expansion
Affordable
4 GB of RAM
CONS
Mediocre battery
Average camera
Weak speaker
