The Asus Zenfone 4 is a cute little phone that is a pretty good design effort from a company that doesn’t have a huge amount of experience in the field of phone-making. It’s plastic, has easy curves and features just slight tweaks from an archetypal small handset design.
First, you get colourful backs. Ours is yellow, and it has a nice, slightly metallic shade. We got to see it next to the yellow Motorola Moto G, and it lacks that phone’s slightly sickly green tinge. It’s nice. Other colours include pinkish red, blue, white and black. The more colourful Zenfones all have a hint of pastel to their shades to avoid looking too brash.
Asus has also plugged one of its design signatures into the Zenfone 4 – the concentric circles texture seen in its Zenbook laptops. There’s a bit below the screen with this look. It’s normally applied to aluminium in Asus’s other gear, but this being a 5999 phone, it’s plastic.
