Appearance and workmanship
ZenFone2 series classic packaging, trapezoidal drawer design, the side pierced holes are the characteristics of the product.
Accessories including manuals, charger and data cable.
Charger is a compact, but only 5.2V/1A output, for a 3000mAh battery machine is slow, we recommend daily use 5V/2A charger.
Design and ZenFone2 highly coincident, positive is a black panel and the back is curved detachable rear cover. Frosted arc back cover material, feel quite comfortable and fingerprint resistant ability is very good.
Forehead Central massive 13 million megapixel front-facing camera is the most conspicuous feature of machine, its dual color Flash on the left side, is placed vertically on the right side of the receiver, there are hidden on both sides of the light sensor and status indicator.
Chin Zenfone series of concentric lines and three diamond touch keys.
Camera is laser focusing sensor on the left, is a two-color Flash on the right side, below is a concentric circle patterns for the volume button, back button design, it was only Asus and LG.
Below is a whole row of speaker holes, and the speaker itself open on the right side.
Top from left to right are noise microphone, power and headphone jack with concentric lines.
Is the microphone at the bottom and micro-USB interfaces.
Volume key and power key at the top on the back design, pretty clean on both sides of the fuselage, only cover opening slot placed on the box to the right.
The rear cover of the machine and the battery can be removed, this design now can keep the same only Asus and LG. Double Micro-SIM card slot machines used, 1th to insert TF card above the card slot.
Official White/red/pink/blue/gold/grey color powder matte back cover, as well as Zenfone2 crystals on the back cover.
Different angles, diamond back cover will not have the same reflective lines, touching the handle is also very chic is estimated to be stamped in a sister paper of the MoE.
The weight of the machine and hand and Zenfone2 are similar, although the machine body is large, but curved back and rounded corners are nice gripping feel. Just Cavalli iPhone 6 Case
Screen
ZenFone 1080P fitting Selfie with 5.5-inch screen, 403PPI, up to 400 nits brightness, 71%NTSC color gamut. We got the same 5.5-inch 1080P MX5, red rice Note2 contrast, MX5 as the AMOLED screen.
In default mode, ZenFone Selfie the maximum brightness for 375 nits, than red rice Note2 341, and MX5 328 nits must be high, in the Sun can have a certain visibility.
United 100% highlighted white, ZenFone Selfie hair colour slightly yellowish, relatively near to the standard color temperature and red rice, Note2, slightly red, at the top of the bottom left are obviously uneven brightness MX5 yellow is actually a more serious, but led to screen a special optical filter in front of the camera is red.
On black shows, MX5 a screen light almost is the best-performing; ZenFone Selfie the brightness a little pressure, and to some extent uneven light distribution.
Primary colors display, very close to ZenFone Selfie and red rice Note2, MX5 is a screen natural, more vivid.
Displays a color picture. ZenFone Selfie to be more elegant, and tends to have a slightly yellow, dark red details enrich the m Note (last sun set).
Side angle
Die diagonal
On the viewing angle, ZenFone Selfie well, its lower brightness degradation under large angles, and no obvious color cast. Red rice and Note2 in large angle the apparent brightness of the down side, diagonal position appeared to be a certain degree of blue and MX5 will appear more obvious color changes depending on angle, also a bit of an exaggeration.
Summary ZenFone Selfie screen shows a more balanced, no apparent weaknesses. Of course, in this day and age, normal IPS screen still will not be much difference. Only thing to note is that, the minimum brightness of the system is higher than General models, shadows may be bright.
The system UI
Machine equipped with ZenUI based on Android 5.0.2, it should be outside the city, most customized Android system. System complete and functional depth beyond the custom of many ROM have been approaching MIUI. Author of its very high, is summarized in a single sentence, it is from Taiwan and flyme MIUI mix.
The desktop provides two-tier desktop (application drawer) and domestic users are used to single-layer desktop model, for their own switch.
Bring up the settings menu/notification bar, automatic classification, even the wallpaper and desktop plug-in transparency, folder style, text font/size/color to choose.
Shortcut button icon notification bar large, calculators, power and Acceleration, startup management, Blue design of the filter, are relatively rare.
System comes with unified follows Android standard, it even can do the MIUI.
Tool application is complete, to-do, handwritten notes, even the mirror (mirror's front-facing camera for the scene), laser (laser focusing distance between sensor and object, precision is still relatively high), no need to install third-party applications.
The best color temperature adjustment option for the time being, native support for call recording, and the rare call duration statistics.
Also comes with the elderly and children mode and double-click the home button to activate the one-arm model.
Domestic interest-screen gestures (rate of screen painting designs directly to open different applications), double-click the lock screen/screen functions, ZenUI was renamed as Zen gesture.
Is very close to city, State to have "power management, boot from Kai, notifications, shielding, flow management," four heavenly guardians, with no sense of endearingly. However this version of startup management radical than Green Guard, part of the background download process will be killed, hoping future versions can be larger cleanup is long.
Performance and fluency
Performance of ZenFone Selfie by Gao Tongxiao 615 Dragon (4 nuclear 1.0GHz+4 nuclear 1.5GHz A53 structure) +3G +32G ROM memory, supports up to 128G TF card expansion.
We made apply equally to Xiao long 615 HTC D820, MT6752 charm-Blue Note, long 410, and the use of Mycophenolate Mofetil in Samsung Galaxy A5 as a contrast.
CPU computing power test
GPU graphics performance tests
Flash speed test
ZenFone Selfie performance in accordance with Xiao long 615 performance, running performance and HTC with the SoC D820 mutual win, although certainly Meizu really • flagship charm blue Note1 MT6752, but taller than Xiao long 410 section.
Worth noting is that the mycophenolate mofetil 615 Dragon is equipped with a very fast flash memory chip that reads performance significantly outstrip the competitors at the same level, in common usage, and the big game on the speed of opening, there will be more obvious hardware advantages.
Reflected in daily use, the fluency of the machine is higher, GPU renders curves is quite beautiful (curved frames not just over the green line shows in more than 60 lower smoothness is better). Exaggeration is that machine to install 20 apps, speed has been significantly affected. If not specifically stated that is very hard to realize machines with mycophenolate mofetil 615.
Photo experience
ZenFone Selfie front and rear-facing cameras are 13 million pixels, pre-F2.0 aperture and is equipped with a laser focus modules.
Camera interface of the machine simple, stand-alone photo and video buttons, using inline the setting menu.
ASUS PixelMaster photography skills, except in the late proof algorithm, also made 17 models. Super clear picture quality, depth of field mode, ultra low light mode, slow-motion, almost covered the camera you have seen in the industry.
Rare is the function mode. Now phone cameras is generally divided into two kinds of design ideas, one is represented by the Apple Samsung Advanced Auto mode, the other is the domestic models represented by the model.
And ASUS is walking in the middle of the manufacturer, the camera automatically recognizes the scene and featured photos of pop-up mode. Writer is supportive for this design, so you can avoid the automatic modes errors of judgment, and shortens the time of mode switching.
Preview mode, the machine will automatically take two vision pictures of Coke, you can adjust the background blur level.
Left for days on back right for the smart background removal. The former LivePhoto similar to the iPhone, will automatically take 2s images before shutter designed for motion capture; take pictures while the latter is used to clean up after bystanders in the process.
Machine comes with a professional model, white balance/exposure compensation/ISO/detailed regulation of the shutter speed. More impressive is that the longest exposure time could be transferred to 32 seconds, long exposure shot stars are not a problem.
Imaging
Machines in 50cm close range enables laser focus, characterized can guarantee no matter how dark the scenes focusing speed and accuracy. In daily use, the focusing speed of the machine and fast Imaging. In addition, the machine picture for background processing, don't have to be a pose, after opening night scene HDR mode and experience are not affected significantly.
Machine's automatic metering and white balance is accurate and stable than most domestic machines. Slightly warm yellow patches, F2.0 large aperture to bring a good blur effects.
Normal lighting sample
Low light sample
Very low light sample
Under very low light, machines can also maintain the correct metering and filmed a little bit higher than the naked eye can see the proofs, turn on night mode will have a more significant quality improvement. Lens flare is relatively clear, need to pay attention to avoid strong light source when taking photos.
Set magnified 100% screenshots
Critical eye, it belongs to the 13 million pixels at normal levels, macro flower flower detail can also complete shows.
Left on automatic mode and right for the HDR mode
HDR mode appears on the white balance after a certain amount of green, but its effects are obvious shadow detail at a glance, and no ghost phenomena occurred.
Left on automatic mode and right for Super clear mode
Ultra clear patterns of time takes about 5 seconds, but apart from the addition of picture details, joined a powerful sharpening algorithms, like Zhang Rui, raising several levels, in need of critical eye group photo or picture, it is worth opening.
Left rear camera proofs and right for the front facing camera proofs
Double ZenFone Selfie 13 million pixels camera is an important selling point, but didn't really think ASUS comes with almost exactly the same camera. Imaging/wide angle range of the front and rear cameras, critical eye are very close, it is very violent in a front-facing camera is configured.

Left set iPhone6s, right ZenFone Selfie proofs
Left on automatic mode and right for the beauty mode
On the comparison, even front-upgrade to a 5 million pixels iPhone6s, its wide scope and details still are 13 million pixels and beaten by ZenFone Selfie.
And the beauty of its open-up mode, and enhance the brightness of the face and the appropriate Microdermabrasion treatment, incidentally, change the white balance of proofs, make a character more natural colour, the effect is fairly obvious. Even more terrifying is the self-timer mode you can manually control face/skin/big grinding eye effect or even the manual mode ... ... Front-facing camera and its par, I'm afraid it's just beautiful phone.
Battery life and heat
ZenFone Selfie most common 3000mAh battery capacity of 5.5 inch models, but the CPU used is Xiao long 615, author of its expectations are not high. But may benefit from optimization and more aggressive management, machine battery than expected durable battery life Note, Note5 scores than the same volume of millet are better.
Ambient temperature of 29.8 degrees, 30 minutes after the big game, front below the highest temperature appeared on camera right, to 41.8 degrees, maximum temperature of 40.9 degrees on the back. As Xiao long 615 model, which is quite cool.
Summary
As designed, front-facing camera ZenFone Selfie very impressive performance, plus rare front double Flash color temperature, so that it can provide almost "around the clock" self portrait. Good system, fluency and bring to life beyond daixiaolong 615 model performance.
Price, still not officially released in the Mainland, but according to the version of NT $ 6990 price (equivalent to 1400 Yuan), count 17% of the country's consumption tax, the line price is estimated to be around 1600. The price sounds is not high, however in 2000 and fluency worrying picture, front of the N3 and 3000 stall, it has become a cost effective and available most camera models ... ...
