Asus ZenFone 5
Asus ZenFone 5 includes a large IPS panel and a reliable dual-core Intel processor. The device is really thin – just 10.3 mm at its thickest point. The other dimensions are 148.2 x 72.8mm and a weight of 140 grams. The screen has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels – the same as the 6 inch ZenFone. That means this model has a better pixel density (294ppi). Similar to the other models of the same series, the ZenFone 5 has the PenTouch and the Asus GloveTouch display technology. That means you can use the screen with gloves or a stylus. Asus ZenFone 5 includes an efficient dual-core Intel processor clocked at 2 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. This model also benefits from a good 8 MP backside camera and a 2MP video calling shooter. The main camera has a wide aperture lens, image stabilization, PixelMaster technology and backside illumination. The phone includes just 4 GB of storage, but there is a microSD slot for expansion. The operating system is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with ZenUI on top. The phone can update to Android 4.4 KitKat soon. Finally, the battery provides you enough power for the daily tasks – it has a capacity of 2050 mAh. | |
