ASUS ZenFone 5 - Best mid-range Phone of 2018?

2018-05-08
this is the iPhone 10 I mean the zenfone 5 and with it costing just around 400 euros it's looking quite good spec wise the phone is featuring a Snapdragon 636 SOC which during my couple of days with it so far has provided enough power to the level that I hadn't noticed that much of a difference in speed compared to my one plus five and it's also really efficient so it doesn't consume a lot of power and it doesn't get that hot either it's paired with either four or six gigs of ram the Agena 509 GPU a 6.2 inch 1080 by 2246 IPS display 64 gigs of storage and a 3300 milliamp hour battery it's of course running Android 8 darou and it's got dual a I cameras one with a normal view and one with a wide-angle lens and more on those later now let's just get this out of the way first yes it does look a lot like the iPhone 10 it has a very similar looking notch a glass back and the camera is placed vertically just like on the iPhone 10 now I like the design but with it being so similar to the iPhone I think it lacks creativity now don't get me wrong it does feature some design traits that are not from the iPhone like for example this sunburst effect centering in on the fingerprint sensor and while also the fact that it does have a headphone jack but I just think they could have made something a little bit more original overall though I have loved the time that I've spent with it so far the display with its tiny surrounding vessels is awesome even though it is an OLED the colors are great it gets fairly bright outdoors and thanks to the small bezels it's much more immersive than a phone with big bezels the knotch was a little bit weird at first but after a couple of hours with it I stopped noticing and caring about it now battery life so far has been pretty good the phone has been able to get me through a day with about 20 percent charge left now I'll talk more about the battery life in my review of this phone as the first couple of days aren't really good indicator of what the long-term battery life will be in terms of speed I am satisfied now for the price this is a great performer it has been able to do everything I have thrown at it so far without any crashes or hiccups and just breezing through the OS is also a pleasant experience I wouldn't call it flash of speeds but it'll certainly fit most people's needs so what's this AI camera all about well what it does is it recognizes the kind of subject that you're taking a photo or a video of and then adjust the settings automatically to make it a better shot tailored to that subject the actual recognition works quite well with normal subjects like the sky food and pets and it does choose good settings to make your shot a bit better looking but sometimes it really gets things wrong like here when I pointed the camera at my watch it suggested it was food and tell me if I'm wrong but I don't think my watch is edible so I'd suggest that the camera only does it's a I think if it definitely knows for sure what the subject is because when it's for example senses that a watch is food it does change the settings according to what would be best for food and instead of making this shot better it'll make it worse so yeah it's cool technology but it isn't revolutionary now I'll talk more about how the camera performs in the review of this watch but so far it's been good for the price not quite on the level of flagship phones but not too far away from those either it's pretty cool that you can get a lot of the trendy features that you would mostly see on flag shapes on a mid-range phone so it's got the small bezels and the dual camera setup and a really premium glass on glass design if you want to know more about this phone I am going to be reviewing it in a week or two so make sure you are subscribed to not miss that and also if you have anything in particular that you would like me to test or talk about in that said review make sure to leave a comment down below and I'll do my best to help you out so with that said thanks for watching feel free to leave a like if you this video useful and I'll see you guys in the next video peace
