Ergonomics
Display brightness
Mediocre battery life
Weak speakers
Awkward power-button placement
A bit heavy
The phone has a cheap bulky feel and an unintuitive button layout. Its non-swappable battery delivers only decent life. The price is too high for its above-average capabilities
Too. Much. Bloatware
It isn't the prettiest phone on the block
But it will do
Big and heavy. Dim screen. Heavy Android skin. Too much bloatware
Disgusting amount of bloatware
Camera falls apart outside of ideal conditions
Generic design with bad button layout
Large bezels
Poor choice of materials
And too large of a body. So much plastic! Heavy
Hard to work with one hand. Capacitive buttons are not illuminated. Comes with a ton of redundant apps that are a chore to get rid of

Even though ASUS isn't renown with its mobile devices, we are sure that the Taiwanese company is on the right track. ASUS' flagship smartphone might be missing some key features that are present in today's top-tier handsets like the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy...
The Asus Zenfone 2 is a pretty good phone with some features that make it borderline great. It has a processor that's fast enough to handle anything you can throw at it, a big screen that looks great for reading, web surfing, gaming, or watching videos...

I was extremely impressed with the Zenfone 2 overall, and after a couple of weeks of constant use I find that I could easily make this my daily driver. From the snappy processor to the fantastic touchscreen (with an excellent IPS display panel under it)...

Battery life, Middling graphics performance, Lackluster camera
The ZenFone 2 isn't as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S6 nor the HTC One M9, but it's also half as expensive. When you consider the value proposition (or bang for your buck, as it were), it's hard to really knock Asus' latest. While it occasionally falls...
Throughout the course of this review you may have noticed that I often compared the ZenFone 2 to high end smartphones like the Galaxy S6, the iPhone 5s and 6, the LG G3, etc. You may have felt that it was unfair to do so, as those smartphones will cost an...
Aggressive $199/$299 price, Deep & thought out ZenUI experience, DualSIM, Speedy recharging time, Camera can take some nice looking HDR photos
Conventional looking design, Call quality can be challenging, Not as smooth with gaming, Thin sounding speaker quality
Asus is smart for attacking the entry-level segment of the market, as opposed to breaking into the high-end, which means tangling against some of the juggernauts floating about right now. Spending an intimate amount of time with the Zenfone 2, we're confi...
