Asus ZenFone 6 Review

Tuesday, 2 December 2014

If you had carefully studied the buzz on social networking websites after the launch of Asus'

ZenFone series in India, it would look like the ZenFone 5 stole all the attention from its sisters.

The ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 4 could have seemed almost like little after an event. Despite this

step-motherly treatment by Asus, both phones are great devices in their own rights and are

low-priced too.



The ZenFone 6 is a low-priced phablet with great specifications. We thought its smaller brother

or sister ZenFone 5 set a really good test result for other phone companies in the budget part or

section, so in the same way and the same topic, we intend to find out if Asus has truly managed

to create the perfect mid-range phablet for the public.

Look and Feel

All three models in the newly-launched Asus ZenFone series share the same design way of

thinking and related to learning about how people think - mostly plastic bodies with a dash of

metal added for strength. The Asus ZenFone 6 review unit that we had was the Charcoal Black

version. The phone is also available in Pearl White, Cherry Red and Bubbly wine Gold.

Features and Specifications

Asus has fitted the ZenFone 6 with an Intel Atom Z2580 dual-core SoC clocked at 2GHz with

Hyper-Threading technology which allows up to four threads to run at once. The phablet also

has 2GB of RAM. Asus provides 16GB of internal storage, of which only 12.2GB is available to

use. This can be extended to up to 64GB using microSD cards.

The 6-inch screen has a resolution of 720x1280, which translates to a pixel density of 245ppi. It

has very good saturation in the colours that are displayed but is dim even at its highest

brightness setting. As a result of this, sunlight legibility takes a hit. On the other hand, viewing

angles are decent. Asus bundles an app called Splendid which can change to make better or

change to fit new conditions display settings such as color temperature, color and saturation,

though the changes aren't really noticeable.

Camera

Asus' camera app has been built from ground up. It features tons of manual options that pro

users can play around with. There are also a few filters that can be added before taking a

photograph. Multiple shooting modes are also available. Asus has created new things with its

Selfie mode, in which the rear camera can focus on as many as four faces and capture an image

automatically. It worked perfectly every time.


The 13-megapixel camera still does not hold a candle to the HTC Desire 816's shooter. As far as 

image quality goes, captured details are acceptable and there was no noise in our daylight 

shots. It's not bad - the 'but' here is that the camera draws attention to reds to create a pinkish 

small amount of color in captured shots.
