Asus Zenfone discussion thread - Z4, Z5 , Z6
Great Bang for the buck Devices By a bigger brand like Asus these are bound to give Motorola a run for their money who shook the market with Moto E
Will talk about Z5 first as this phone looks to be the Best of the best Under 10,000 rs
The CPU is Intel 1.6 ghz dual core Atom Z2560 .
CPU PErformance -
the CPu performance is so much faster than the usual cheap cortex A7 found here . The processor is more powerful than A snapdragon 400 and as well as Mediatek Octa 6592 in real world applications
though being an intel cpu it could have problems with some apps we will have to wait for the detailed user reviews but bigger apps and games are working fine
GPU PErformance ...
The GPU is faster as well beating out Adreno 305 in snapdragon 400 .. but is slower than MAli 450 in mediatek octa
Hence overall
Mediatek 6592 > intel Atom Z2560 > Snapdragon 400
since there are no snapdragon 400 phones in this range it easily beats out all other phones.. and even beats Moto G easily ..
then the main part that makes this phone stand out is the RAM .. it is confirmed that the RAM is 2gb in the 8 gb Variant ( Rs 9999 )
this is the first time we have got 2 gb ram in under 10,000 rs category and that too from a reputed brand like Asus , not even local players could beat that..
Camera is great as well for the price ( probably the best )..
No doubt the days for Micromax , xolo are over.. for 15k Price bracket Xiaomi takes the Cake with Mi3 and for 10k Price bracket Asus Zenphone eats everyone
Their is literally no competition for these phones.. they are their own competition
Awesome entry into the indian market.. well done asus and xiomi
