The main character of this issue - ASUS Zenfone2 64GB version Let's have a look~
Finally, I am willing to take photos with a camera. The previous evaluation photos are really horrible~
1. Unpacking brief comment
Since Zenfone2 won the 2015 Hanover IF Design Award, the box should be printed with a big IF logo. The Intel INSIDE logo on the side also indicates the Intel lineage of zenfone2. In addition, no detailed parameter configuration is marked on either the side or the bottom, and only a few icons on one side represent the characteristic functions of zenfone2.
The packing box adopts a drawer opening design, and the packing box contains: PC, fast charger, data cable, manual and warranty card. The fast charging head supports a charging speed of 5V=2A or 9V=2A. Officially, it can be charged to 60% in 39 minutes.
Seeing the phone made me feel like I saw a Korean phone. Samsung's factory membrane a few years ago would also be printed with various features of the phone. On the factory film of Zenfone2, we can clearly know that Zenfone2 mainly focuses on photography, high screen proportion, high performance, etc. Zenfone2 adopts a 5.5 inch 1080P screen, uses IPS+technology, has a pixel density of 403PPI, and is covered with the third generation Corning Gorilla glass. Its durability is guaranteed. On the front are light sensors, distance sensors (two sensors can be seen in strong light), recessed long earphones, 500w pixels, wide-angle cameras with an aperture of 2.0, Andro's Three Heavenly Kings and the lowest concentric circle design. The body size is 152.5 * 77.2 * 3.9~10.9mm (thickness will be mentioned later). The overall weight is 170g. For a mobile phone with a non metal body, the weight is too heavy.
Tearing off the original protective film, we can see the red metal brushed back cover. However, the back cover is plastic. The plastic is not inferior to the metal brushed texture of LG G3. It seems that the workmanship of ASUS is very good! The back is a true tone dual color temperature flash, 1300w f/2.0 large aperture ultra wide angle camera, equipped with PixelMaster technology, volume key, Intel inside logo， Array speakers. This volume button is worth mentioning. It is similar to the back button of LG series, but the power on wake-up button is on the top, and LG is not placed on the back. (How can I have such ugly hands? It must be the light.)
The top is noise reduction mic, unlocking key, 3.5mm standard headphone interface. On 5.5 inch mobile phones, even though the screen proportion is higher, the size of the phone is difficult to hold with one hand. It is not a wise choice to put the unlock key on the top! However, Zenfone2 supports double clicking the bright screen and double clicking the lock screen, which largely solves this problem. However, as a mobile phone manufacturer, the user's feel must be taken into consideration 。 At the bottom are the microUSB interface and mic.
There are no buttons on both sides of the body, but it can be clearly seen that Zenfone2 is somewhat like the double arc shape of HTC ONE E8, which makes the thinnest part of Zenfone2 3.9mm, and the thickest part only 10.9mm.
There is a notch on the right side of the fuselage for us to open the rear cover. After opening the back cover, you can see the TF card slot supporting up to 64GB expansion, sim1 supporting 4G and SIM2 only supporting calls. SIM1 supports dual 4G of China Mobile and China Unicom. Although the mobile phones that support TF expansion are very conscientious now, it is simply unbearable to remove the back cover and not replace the battery.
NFC contacts are on the back of the case.
When I found more than 3 pages of built-in applications after booting up, my heart almost collapsed. However, since I didn't get a new machine, I couldn't rule out the software installed when I used it before.
When I first used leiitutu, my heart almost collapsed and I didn't respond directly. Then the subsequent tests all returned to normal. Figure 2 Is the score details of subsequent tests. It's not a performance monster to be crushed by Meizu mx4. The boss is not satisfied! Leitutu has run between 4w4 and 4w9 for many times.
Summary:
Advantages: good workmanship, excellent configuration, dual 4G, strong back shell texture.
Disadvantages: The back shell is plastic, and SIM2 cannot use data flow. The back shell can be removed but the battery cannot be replaced. The screen lock key is located on the top of the body and is difficult to operate. The whole machine has a heavy sense of cheapness.
2. Features
Zenfone2 adopts the Zen UI based on Android 5.0, with many features: memory cleaning, power saving mode Zen motion、 Screen color adjustment, etc. This transport and storage destruction technology is really awesome. Once it is turned on, there is only about 3GB of transport and storage available. After a while, there was only 2GB left, but fortunately, there was no memory shortage after such a long time. There are also many power saving modes to choose from. The system default is the balance mode. Zenfone2's ultimate power saving mode is to turn off animation, turn down brightness, reduce frequency, and disconnect. Generally, it is the same as the ultimate power saving mode of HTC and Samsung, but obviously Samsung and HTC will save more power. (black home screen and disconnect all connections)
Action: Long press or slide up on the desktop to call up the "Management Main Screen" interface, where you can customize the desktop in depth. Slide down on the desktop to call up the notification bar. Double clicking the lock screen is also limited to the desktop. The Home key slides up to call up the Baidu app. It can be set to call out the single hand mode. The multi task key can be set to hold down for screen capture.
In addition, the Zen UI also comes with a simple mode, which can be easily used by the elderly and children. The simple mode is similar to the extreme power saving mode of HTC.
Zen UI also has a visitor mode, which can finally use the visitor mode introduced since Android 3. x. I am no longer afraid of the bear children rummaging through my mobile phone. Ha ha ha ha!!!!
Summary: Featured functions are rich and practical, and humanistic services are provided. (No obvious defects found)
3. Actual use
As a 78 fag, you must be able to use metaphysical curves. The green line is 60 frames, and if it exceeds the green line, the frame is dropped. In the actual experience, Zenfone2 performs well without obvious frame dropping and stuttering, but the screen does not follow suit, which may be related to the screen material.
3.1 [Photograph] (some descriptions are written on the picture, and some functions have been marked with red circles)
3.1.1 Basic camera interface and shooting mode
Of course, the highlights should be framed for special instructions. Zenfone2 adopts 1300W, f/2.0 wide-angle rear camera+500W, f/2.0 wide-angle front camera.
The default automatic mode photographing interface of the latter camera is as follows: the top is for setting, switching to the front camera, flash switch, and the bottom is for mode selection, shutter, photographing video switching key, and album. There are 18 modes to choose from, among which we will focus on manual mode, dim light mode and delay shooting. The diversity of shooting modes has greatly enhanced the playability of zenfone2, as well as its PIXEL MASTER technology.
In the album interface, we can quickly flip through photos by pinching two fingers. Sliding upward can quickly delete photos. When you manually delete the wrong photo, there is also a remedy to undo the deletion, but undo can only restore the recently deleted photo. The interface is similar to the multitasking interface of Windows Phone, and photo restoration is also a particularly practical function.
3.1.2 Manual mode
In manual mode, the adjustable contents include aperture, shutter speed ISO、 Exposure and white balance. Shutter speed: 1/2s~1/500s, ISO： 50~800, exposure: - 2~+2, white balance: 2500k~6500k. There are still many adjustable parameters, which are very useful for audiophile users, but not for ordinary users, but I can not, but you can't do without the deep-rooted consumption concept, so manual mode is more and more common in cameras of major mobile phone manufacturers.
3.1.3 Other modes
From left to right, they are: time recovery, ultra clear mode and time delay photography.
- The principle of time reversal is to present the images that appear 3 seconds after you press the shutter and 1 second after you press the shutter, and then you can choose your favorite images during this time.
- Ultra clear mode and OPPO's 51m pixel photo are the same principle, and multiple photos are combined into 51m pixel photos. In the ultra clear mode, there are 38m, 32m, 24m, 20m, 15m, 13m and 10m image quality options. (reminds me of Nuoji pureview)
- Time delay photography is a video formed by automatically taking a picture every few seconds. The minimum interval is 1s, and the maximum interval is 5s. In this mode, there are more controllable parameters than the delay shooting of the iPhone, and it can be adjusted by itself. Playability up!
3.1.4 Sample (pictures in automatic mode on Zenfone2 and iPhone 6 are compressed)
Manual mode:
Ultra clear image quality: (The image has been severely compressed! The original image displays well on the mobile phone)
51m lower picture quality.
Weak light mode: (when the light is not turned on, the human eye can no longer distinguish the shape of objects, but zenfone2's weak light mode can barely see the shape of objects) In low light mode, only 3m and 2m can be selected for imaging.
3.2 Battery Mobile phones are becoming more and more unusable, and the power is as touching as a diabetes insipidus. Just like my iPhone 6, it charges three times a day, and nobody needs to play with the phone! (I am a heavy mobile user) Zenfone2 is equipped with 3000mAh battery and its own fast charging technology. The official said that 60% of the battery will be charged in 30 minutes. Let's test it.
During the charging process, the screensaver will display the words "charging fast". When the power exceeds a certain value, the phone will predict the time required for you to fully charge. This screenshot is taken when charging for 30 minutes. At this time, the charge is 42%. (Charging starts after automatic shutdown.) It takes just 70 minutes from 0% to 100%, which is good compared with other mobile phones that can be fully charged within 2 hours, but the actual charging speed is still far behind the official charging speed. After testing, it can last about 6 hours under heavy use (use time). At night, the standby power failure rate reaches 6%, which I can't praise. (Balanced mode, non intelligent power-saving mode) It seems that even the 3000mAh large battery is difficult to have good endurance under the 5.5 inch screen.
3.3 Screen The screen has always been one of the weaknesses of Zenfone 2. Even if the IPS+technology is adopted, the full fitting panel and the third generation gorilla glass cannot resist the thick sense of cheapness of the front panel. However, it is a 2k mobile phone after all, and it may be a little poor if you want it to be a compelling phone. The screen parameters are impeccable, but what about the color? First, a set of contrasts against a red background. On the left is HTC ONE M7, and on the right is Zenfone2. It can be seen that the Super lcd screen adopted by M7 displays more transparent red, while zenfone2 is more profound. In terms of visual angle, zenfone2 has obvious color deviation, directly changing from red to pink.
Other colors: It can be seen that yellow is the worst on the Zenfone2 screen. Bright yellow directly turns into fecal yellow, and the screen color is obviously green, especially in the case of white. White directly reverts to silver gray. I think I'm going blind. In the last picture, there is obvious light leakage under the black display, which shows that the workmanship of ASUS is still not guaranteed to be particularly exquisite.
It is worth mentioning that Zenfone2 has its own color temperature regulator, which can customize the screen color temperature according to users' preferences. It also has its own color temperature in three modes: balance mode, eye protection mode and bright color mode. The color difference can be directly felt through the icon color in the white box.
3.4 Daily use We all know that Intel chip has been developing for several years on the mobile terminal. The first Intel chip smart phone should be MOTO's Fengli mobile phone. However, compatibility has hindered its sales. A few years later, when using Intel chips for mobile phones, compatibility is no longer a problem. At present, most of the software and games on the market are compatible, but a few games will encounter the problem of flash back. Mainstream software has been well compatible, so users need not worry. As a 64 bit Intel chip, some netizens said that this configuration can be used for wining. In fact, on Zenfone2, it's hard to avoid some clumsy plans. The startup time is about 35s, which makes me crazy and overturns my view that the higher the configuration, the faster the startup speed. (After all, it only takes 18 seconds for the i9300 to boot up) Maybe it is related to flash memory. After all, SSD computers can boot much faster than HDD computers.
4. Summary Advantages: low price, high configuration, smooth operation, excellent performance of PixelMaster camera (especially in weak light), and rich features. Disadvantages: problems with screen calibration, Atom CPU compatibility, and battery life need to be improved. Comprehensive: high cost performance, worth buying.
Note: This evaluation failed to conduct a comprehensive in-depth evaluation, but focused on the places consumers often use. Please also point out the shortcomings.
