ASUS ZenFone 2 is the world's first mobile phone equipped with 4G running memory. It uses Intel Atom Z3560 quad core processor, and the PowerVR G6430 GPU performance is currently at the flagship level. The latest version of Anthare has scored more than 47000 points. However, while leading in performance, how about ASUS ZenFone 2? How about the appearance and sense of use? Here is the first experience of ASUS ZenFone 2.

As the flagship model in terms of performance, ASUS ZenFone 2 has changed its high-profile pricing strategy and played a cost-effective game. As a monster mobile phone with 4G running memory, the price is less than 2K, and the price performance is also very good. Of course, the cost performance ratio also brings about the simplification of accessories. The ASUS ZenFone 2 accessories I got are only the charging data cable and charging head.

The front face of ASUS ZenFone 2 has a high face value. It has a business atmosphere and is relatively simple. The integrated black front cannot be said to be very distinctive, but it has a sense of simplicity. This design is not unique to ASUS. Look carefully, it is more or less similar to LG G3 and HTC M8. Today's mobile phone design has many similarities. As for which type you like, It depends on my personal hobby. I have always liked this grand style.

The bottom of ASUS ZenFone 2 has physical buttons. At the same time, the design of the physical buttons and the bottom frame is based on the design of HTC flagship phones. Although the bottom frame is relatively wide, it does not look ugly, but has a texture.

The power key of ASUS ZenFone 2 is designed at the top, which is the most worthy of my complaint. The power key designed at the top is difficult to press. At the same time, the power key of ASUS ZenFone 2 is relatively short, which makes it more difficult to press the power key. This power key needs to be improved. Fortunately, ASUS ZenFone 2 provides the function of double click to light the screen, It can reduce the use of power button to a certain extent.

The back of Asus ZenFone 2 draws on the design of LG flagship series mobile phones, and the volume increase and decrease buttons are designed at the bottom. This design has been precipitated and verified, and the sense of use is relatively good. At the same time, the back of Asus ZenFone 2 has a 13 million pixel five element lens module similar to IPHONE6. At the same time, the large aperture of F2.0 must be remarkable in imaging, Follow up photos will be taken to experience.

The back of ASUS ZenFone 2 is designed in an arc shape and has a texture of metal wire drawing. However, the back of ASUS ZenFone 2 is not a metal back cover, but a polished texture similar to metal. Due to the arc shape design, the grip is very good. The bottom speaker also has a certain radian, so it will not be completely pressed on the desktop.

Although ASUS ZenFone 2 uses a 5.5 inch screen, due to the feel of the back arc design, there is little pressure to hold it with one hand, but it is still a bit difficult to fully operate the 5.5 inch screen with one hand.

Asus ZenFone 2 charging data port is at the bottom of the phone.

The back cover of ASUS ZenFone 2 is detachable. The advantage of this design can cover the position of the card slot, making the overall phone more harmonious and beautiful. Although the back cover is detachable, the ASUS ZenFone 2 battery is still not detachable.

ASUS ZenFone 2 high configuration version has 32G of large memory and supports dual cards and dual 4G. At the same time, the expandable memory is much thicker than some flagship phones.

The system of ASUS ZenFone 2 is very smooth at the beginning. Thanks to the large memory, multiple programs are not stuck at all, and the performance of Intel Atom Z3560 processor is also very good. The system UI of ASUS ZenFone 2 also adopts the popular flat design, which is different from the UI of conventional domestic mobile phones. The UI of ASUS ZenFone 2 prefers the international secondary menu form.

Asus ZenFone 2 is a smart phone equipped with 4G running memory. However, in addition to 4G storage, are other hardware performances reasonable? This is also what I want to know. After a week's experience, I also know a lot about the overall hardware experience of ASUS ZenFone 2. ASUS ZenFone 2 uses Android 5.0 based systems. After ASUS has optimized the system to a certain extent, ASUS ZenFone 2's system is more similar to that of international manufacturers, such as LG Samsung HTC, etc. Some functions are also very practical, such as double clicking on the bright screen, double clicking on the rest screen, The special symbols start APP and glove mode, which are similar to the native Android system, but also add some practical optimizations and retain the secondary menu mode. Users who are accustomed to using Samsung mobile UI are more or less accustomed to using domestic optimization systems such as Xiaomi System.

In addition to 4G large running memory, ASUS ZenFone 2 also uses the Intel Atom Z3580 quad core 64 bit processor. The performance of Anthare has reached 46 thousand points, which is very good. It is less competitive among mobile phones at the same price. The PowerVR Rogue G6430 GPU is also impressive in 3D graphics.

The ASUS ZenFone 2 screen uses the third generation glass of Corning Gorilla, which is often used on domestic flagship mobile phones. I have been using the screen in streaking for a week, and now there are no scratches on the screen. The ASUS ZenFone 2 screen performs well, with enough brightness, and the screen can be seen clearly in direct sunlight. The screen color is neutral on the whole, not bright, and not too cold. The contrast is high, and at 1080p resolution, the fineness is also very high. Many manufacturers like to use the concept of 2K resolution to promote. In fact, the 5.5 inch screen 1080p has reached a very delicate level with the naked eye. 2K resolution is also difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

ASUS ZenFone 2 has good color restoration, natural color scale, and good grayscale performance, which can display all grayscale colors well. On the whole, the ASUS ZenFone 2 screen is in line with the current level of flagship mobile phones, and its performance is relatively uniform in all aspects.

After talking about hardware and software, ASUS ZenFone 2's UI is ASUS's optimized ZEN UI. The depth of optimization is not like that of MI UI, FLY ME and other systems. The overall system is relatively simple, with some practical functions added. The previously mentioned "double click on the bright screen" will not be repeated. Let's simply look at the unique content of ASUS ZenFone 2. As shown below, ASUS ZenFone 2 has a power saving mode, This is not difficult to see in mobile phones today, but I want to complain that the energy-saving mode is turned on, which is very smooth and has no impact on basic functions such as web browsing and phone calls. But once you play the game, you can clearly feel the "stuck", so friends with ASUS ZenFone 2 must pay attention to whether the energy-saving mode is turned on when playing the game card, When ASUS ZenFone 2 is closed, it is not a problem to basically play any current large-scale games.

Asus ZenFone 2 also has a child mode. We know that bear children often play with our mobile phones, and they also mistakenly press applications such as the call network, causing unnecessary trouble. Asus ZenFone 2 has joined the child mode, and designated several software for bear children to play with, and other applications are locked up. In this way, there is no need to worry about the random pressing of bear children.

Asus ZenFone 2 also has a simple mode for users who don't pay much attention to smart phones. For example, parents are too old to learn how to use a touch smart phone., The addition of simple mode greatly facilitates these users to use ASUS ZenFone 2 easily.

In fact, ASUS ZenFone 2 has many more user-friendly software settings, but in view of the layout, we will not introduce them one by one. In general, ASUS ZenFone 2 is more optimized in terms of practicality, leaving behind the traditional domestic manufacturers' idea of installing software regardless of whether you use it or not. Although simple, it is very practical.

As the first 4G storage, ASUS ZenFone 2 is equipped with Intel processors. There are some disputes in the use. Personally, I have seen some people say that the Intel processor software is flashback and incompatible. As a digital player, it has been playing mobile phones and tablets for many years. When Intel processors just entered the Android system processor adaptation, there were indeed many software flashbacks, However, after such a long time of baptism, even HiSilicon Kirin processors have overcome this problem. As a world famous processor manufacturer, will there be any problems? In the actual experience, each has a good sense of use, and the operation is smooth and smooth. I also saw someone say that 12306 app has a flash back. After actual experience, it does have this problem, so I took another MTK processor 64 bit Android 5.0 phone to install 12306, and found that there was also a flash back. Personally, I infer that the reason for the flash back is the 5.0 Android system and 64 bit processor, This kind of problem requires that app manufacturers adapt new systems and 64 bit processors rather than new processors to old software. It is believed that 12306 will be upgraded soon to adapt to the new 5.0 system and 64 bit processors.

The following applications are many commonly used applications that I have created, all of which run perfectly. These include Taobao app, various video apps, and Weibo, qq， WeChat, etc. Everything runs perfectly.

Asustek ZenFone 2 has strong performance and is at the front end of the system. Although many mobile phone brands say they want to join the 64 bit system, Asustek is still ahead of Android 5.0, the era of Android L. New systems and new processors need to adapt to a certain stage. When the new system is perfect, the previous system version will soon be eliminated. The 5.0 system of ASUS ZenFone 2 will be more and more perfect.
