ASUS ZenFone 5 ZE620KL

Advantages: 1. The appearance is very beautiful, the "mono-brow" does not look defective. Below is a minimal beard, and without it it would be almost as “iPhone X”.

2. The screen is really awesome!

3. The sound is excellent (stereo, powerful)! But because the second speaker is conversational, it is quieter and reproduces mostly high frequencies.

4. The battery, despite the fact that "3300mAh", I personally can, with average use, hold for one and a half days (I think due to artificial intelligence algorithms).

5. High speed flying! I do not play games, but I think everything will fly there.

6.NFC (Android Pay) is and it's cool!

7. The camera is double, it seems to be learning at the expense of artificial intelligence algorithms. Good thing is stabilization. We were pleased with the very fast focusing. Many settings and modes.

8. The "ASUS ZenUI 5" casing is really minimal and does not overload the smartphone with any crap, due to which "Android OS" is much cleaner (relative to previous versions).

Disadvantages: The camera has a lot of grain, which negates all its advantages. I hope this is possible to fix the next firmware.

Comment: Recently, the "5Z" went on sale with the most powerful processor and maximum RAM, otherwise they seem to be identical. I do not know who needs one, just the "five" I think that's enough for most people.
I expected more from the camera, but for most people this is enough. And who is engaged in a photo there are other devices with a big accent on a photo.

Advantages: 1) Screen. He is gorgeous, surveyors of YouTube do not lie
2) Sound speaker
3) Performance. Believe me, everything flies, 636 snapdragon is enough for everything and overpay for 845 Snap makes sense only to gamers.
4) Design. Chic. Just support in your hands.
5) Size. The screen is large, but fit in a fairly compact body. Of course, holding with one hand, you will not reach the top edge, but as a shovel, it does not look

Disadvantages: 1) I didn’t check the camera thoroughly, I’ll just say that it is sound. This is not a flagship level. I would like more quality.
2) Marked case. Prints will be visible.
3) Autonomy. Look, here people write about the day. If you constantly browse the social network and so on, watch YouTube, listen to music, then from 8 am to 6 pm he will live. But it's in a rather voracious mode.

Comment: Bought and never regretted. Asus made a gorgeous display, not to distinguish from amold. Do not pay attention to 636 snap. Everything opens and loads very quickly. Honestly, I click on some kind of site, blinked, and the page is already loaded) Taking into account 4g, of course. Definitely advise!

Advantages: Great smartphone! There is NFC, the camera shoots 4K, Full HD 120 FPS, HD 240 FPS. The screen is juicy, big, beautiful. It looks more like AMOLED, but it is IPS. There is a fingerprint scanner and face scanner. Flies in all games, does not slow down anywhere, There is a one-hand control mode, which is undoubtedly convenient. There is a Google Pay function, in fact, one of the points why I chose this smartphone. Lots of memory, i.e. 64 GB of RAM, 4 GB of RAM.

Disadvantages: 1.The face scanner does not always work.
2. Battery. This is quite a justified minus, because the smartphone is just a huge screen. But this problem is solved by an external battery.
3. Price
4. The camera is excellent, but in the dark light, for example in the subway, noise appears.

Comment: I advise you to take this smartphone as a camera phone. By the way, "monobrow" does not interfere at all. Before him was the LG Spirit H422. Of course, it is biased to compare these two phones, but this is just the sky from the earth. ASUS ZenFone 5 ZE620KL is for everyone!

Advantages: The display is something with something, until the last you will not believe that this is just an IPS matrix, in terms of quality, brightness and everything else, this is the purest Amoled, but not this is IPS.
The camera is for the middle class, the pictures are excellent, but I would like to point out more than the photo, but the video, thanks to the optical stabilization, takes very kosher
Design, whoever calls a cheap copy of an iPhone, the phone is incredibly beautiful, just hold the silver zenfon in your hands and you will understand everything
The shell is in any century the asus brought it to mind and it looks like a naked android with a couple of interesting features.
just the last thing I want to point out to the pluses is the connector Type c and Stereo sound

Disadvantages: It is a pity that there is no protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard, but then it would be too fat for that kind of money.

Comment: Perhaps the 5th generation of Zenphon is really the crown of the asus creation, they grew up as well as in the design and software plan.

Advantages: 1. Screen
2. Sound from speakers
3. Camera in good light

Disadvantages: 1. Camera in low light
2. Headphone sound

Comment: Prior to that, I used Zenfon 3, I decided to change Asus to 5. In general, satisfied, I knew that he took. But it was a disappointment, the quality of photos and videos in poor light, my 3 Asus shot at night much better. In reviews on a smartphone, either they are not silent about this, or they say it in passing! Those. at night, do not wait for normal images, it certainly saddens you. The rest of the phone is very good. It is a pity there is only moisture protection, but everyone already knows about this before buying, but the camera may be disappointing. Shoots very well during the day, very bad at night. Who does not bother, feel free to buy this device.

Advantages: Screen, camera, fast.

Disadvantages: Yes, the eyebrow as it straightens) Few branded applications.

Comment: Fit machine, no feeling, two weeks later, that you bought the wrong thing.
Good equipment, a headset, a case in the kit, moreover, a usb cable is more authentic, like in Samsung.
It seems that the processor is not top, but everything flies, the games draw almost everything to the ultra (WOT 30-60 fps, Asphalt, PUBG a step below the maximum settings).
The screen is just super.
The battery thawed out pretty quickly at first, then three updates have already been released, or something else, but now 6 hours of active screen is stable.
I also liked the main cameras very much, good detailing, hdr copes, but the contrast is too high, faces sometimes turn out to be red, I hope they fix it. Shirik during the day produces valid shots. And selfies are average.
The interface is similar to Samsung, in which it is better developed. Also, Samsung has better some branded applications, such as a music player, asus doesn't have it at all.
The print works moderately, but after, as I recorded my fingers two times, 10/10 is triggered.
In general, the smartphone is super, I use it with pleasure.

Advantages: - The screen is well unrealistically cool (IPS but looks like Amoled)
-Camera (probably one of the best smartphones up to 30k)
-Sound (stereo speakers + great sound in headphones)
-NFC and Type-C
- Battery (I have enough for 2 days of use)
- Shell (very bright with a million different settings)
- Performance (the interface is smooth and everything flies)

Disadvantages: Deficiencies are hard to find. There are likely to each have their own. For me, this is a hybrid slot for a 2nd sim or a memory card (I would like a separate slot for a card)

Comment: I decided to upgrade my Galaxy S6 to something new and decided to see what is new from new products. In the end, I chose between Zenfone 5, Nokia 7 Plus, Xiaomi Mi6 and LG G6. For me, the most important parameters in the smartphone are the camera, high-quality screen, nice design and NFC (used to pay for purchases using a smartphone). The processor power for me is secondary, as well as the autonomous operation time - I don’t play hard games, and the charge is important enough for a light day.
In the store I felt all the options, at first I wanted to stop at LG, but as soon as I turned it on and saw the screen, Zenfon realized that he was my future smartphone. The screen is just bombay cool! So bright and saturated with colors that I did not believe at first that it was IPS, and not Amoled. I was pleased with the design, I got used to the new format of the display with a cutout for a couple of hours of operation and I can say with confidence that this is a very convenient thing! Notifications do not eat off a part of the display, in the necessary applications the cutout is dimmed! Immediately in the store I tested the quality of the photo and then immediately fell off Xiaomi and Nokia - they shoot exactly worse than LG and Asus. To be honest, even my old Galaxy S6 shoots better than they. Yes, and their screens look dimmer. The quality of the photo in comparison with LG is close - it turned out better on LG somewhere, somewhere on Zenfone. Focusing on Asus is faster than on G6. In general, the camera is very satisfied! Also at work I compared 10 iPhones with the camera during the daytime and was pleasantly surprised that Zenfon shoots even better in some scenarios! I think that the best camera in the smartphone for 30t.r. can hardly be found. The sound is loud and clear, even at maximum volume. In general, the impressions of the purchase are only positive! If you doubt the choice - just come to the store and compare everything yourself on the spot and touch the device - it is really interesting! P.S. I will attach a couple of photos from travel in Norway, taken on a brand new device in auto mode. I’m sure you can make even cooler shots by hand, but this quality is enough for me =)

Advantages: - Excellent screen (bright, vivid colors, sufficient pixel density, good brightness, sensitive sensor)
- A good filling, sufficient for everyday tasks and not very demanding games.
- Build quality: no backlash, no creaks, everything is secure.
- Sufficient memory, both operational and flash.
- Great sound from external speakers

Disadvantages: - Not all notification icons are placed in the top line, because of this there is just an ellipsis and in order to see all the notifications you have to lower the curtain.

Comment: The phone fully met the expectations. Monobrow does not confuse but does not cause delight, in general, for me it is a neutral topic.
The camera takes pictures worthy of the middle segment of smartphones.Optimization of the system at the highest level, nothing flies and does not lag. Everything is smooth, without delays.
The sound of the speakers is just space, though I had to poke around a bit in the equalizer.
In hand, the phone is comfortable.

Bottom line: As a multimedia center for watching YouTube, surfing the Internet, and everyday use, the phone is good. I don’t play games much, so I can’t say anything for sure.
