ASUS ZenFone 4 2017 (ZE554KL) – The Dual Camera-Phone

One of the leading technology companies “Asus”, just released their new luxurious phone, with incredible technical characteristics and features. The ZenFone 4 has a 5.5′ IPS Display with 10-finger multitouch screen, on which you could clearly and brightly see the photos you take with the 12 megapixels dual-camera. They combined all the hardware needed for a super-phone, and it operates on Android 7 with new ASUS ZenUI 4.0 software.

You can find the phone on Amazon for nearly $500, which is really good for a phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 Octa-core CPU, 4GB RAM 64GB ROM. This smartphone is powerful, fast and really ergonomically designed. It’s worth the money and has everything you need in a phone. The dual-cameras are perfect for picture-lovers and I am sure that people will greatly welcome the idea of this 12MP monster!

Design

The design is amazing.The ZenFone phone feels, works and looks incredibly simple, yet is so sophisticated on the inside. The phone weighs only 165grams and has 155.4 x 75.2 x 7.7mm dimensions. On the front, the display is 5.5′ with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. It looks like the sides are combined with the display, but it’s actually not like that. It’s just the frame, that is really thin on the sides, which adds to the good presentation of any image.

The 8-megapixel front camera is located on the top left, next to the tweeter, while on the bottom there is one “home” button in the middle, with “return” touchscreen button on the left, and “task switch” button on the right. The “home” button work’s not only as a “menu” one, but also as a fingerprint locker, that recognizes only fingerprints added manually by you and adds to the security of the device.

Moving to the back, I have to admit that the phone reminds me of the ZenBook Flip 14’s lid, with that all-aluminum back panel. I really like the spun-metal surface effect because it adds to the design and it’s kind of a special symbol of the Asus “Zen” series. The dual-camera with the 2 color LED flash are located in the upper-left corner, and the ASUS logo is also featuring right in the center of the backside. The phone comes in Midnight Black, Moonlight White, and Mint Blue, which appeals to me most.

 

Specs and performance

Aside from the fact that it feels handy, it also backs that feel up with its quickly responsive actions. It’s a phone that has everything and is worth totally the price. In terms of storage, it has 64GB internal and 4 or 6GB RAM. If the 64GB internal storage isn’t enough for you, then you can find the micro-SD slot useful and you can insert a card up to 256GB. The phone features a Quad-Core 1.8GHz CPU, with Adreno 508 or Adreno 512 GPU.

The 12-megapixel dual-camera works more than perfect. It has geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR and panorama as built-in abilities. The pictures it takes are beyond limits, and by that, I mean that it has a wider see-zone than your own eye, great for panoramic pictures as well! The images are presented well on the IPS LCD capacitive display with 16 million colors on it.

It also records videos in 4K so it’s perfect for people who love art, movies or just watch videos on Youtube.The operating system that runs all these things is Android 7.1.1 (Nougat). It takes 36 minutes to charge the phone to 50%, which is really fast for such a powerful device and you will find it helpful when you’re in a hurry.

Sound

ZenFone 4 is built with dual speakers and multiple audio technologies to provide the best sound for entertainment and phone calls. Its stereo speakers deliver expansive, low-distortion sounds, even at high volumes. Two noise-canceling microphones remove unwanted environmental sounds for the best call quality and clear sound when recording videos or live streaming. The all-new DTS Headphone X provides theater-quality 7.1-channel virtual surround sound over headphones, that also come with the packaging.
