Now, traditional PC manufacturers have begun to transform to different degrees in the post PC era, and some focus on enterprises Some industrial users embrace mobile Internet. ASUS, as the leader of PC, also chose the latter and launched its own brand product ZenFone. The first product of that year was obtained by using Intel chips A lot of foresight, coupled with ASUS's rock quality gene, has gained good market reaction. Recently, ASUS launched the latest Zenfone selfie。 As can be seen from the name, this machine focuses on shooting, especially selfie. This time, I will take you to see the charm of this divine camera.

appearance

——————

Selfie still uses Zenfone's family style packaging, with irregular round holes on the side, which is highly recognizable

Selfie has not changed much in appearance. The biggest feature of the 5.5 inch 1080P screen is its big eyes

This large front 1300W F2.2 88 degree wide-angle camera head is also the biggest feature of selfie. It looks very impressive. I once wanted to use the word "Zhagu" as the title

The chin is still the distinctive symbol of Zenfone, and concentric circle processing brings better texture and touch

Compared with the flat panel, the back of selfie looks more colorful.

The biggest feature is the volume button, which is rarely placed on the back.

The switch is also rarely placed on the top of the machine. In addition, the back is ergonomically designed, and the curved back plate makes the holding feel better

The rear camera is also 1300W, but the aperture is increased to F2.0, and also equipped with dual color fill light

Opening for external horn

The side of selfie is quite simple. There is no power button, no volume button, only the auxiliary opening for opening the back cover

There is also a USB interface at the bottom

Selfie is one of the few machines that can replace batteries at present. I hope this good habit can continue

3000mAh large battery provides longer endurance

Selfie's secret weapon: laser focusing module, providing high-speed focusing experience

Selfie's charging head is relatively small

system

——————

The system plays an important role in the ease of use of a machine. All major manufacturers have launched their own customized UI in order to obtain a more beautiful look and feel and a better operating experience. Asustek's is ZenUI.

The default mode of ZenUI adopts the secondary menu mode closer to the native system, which is not gorgeous in UI

ZenUI's shortcut menu is good, intuitive and rich

For the primary menu mode that is more suitable for domestic users, ZenUI also provides a switching mode, which is very considerate. In addition, selfie also supports the screen out gesture function, which makes use more convenient. The display of the taskbar is a unique bookmark form, which is closer to the style of the PC and looks very luxurious.

Now everyone's systems are beginning to integrate some common functions for everyone to use, without having to download the APP, Selfie has integrated its own management software: ASUS Smart Housekeeper. For our commonly used traffic management and self startup.

In terms of hardware configuration, Selfie is not outstanding. The Snapdragon 615 processor is equipped with 3G memory, but the system control is quite smooth.

Selfie's main feature is the photographing function, especially selfie. Here we will focus on testing Selfie's photographing system.

app

Selfie's photo taking interface is quite simple, easy to use, focusing and shooting. But it provides a wealth of manual adjustment options, including white balance, ISO， The step EV adjustment of 0.3 and the ultra long exposure time of 32 seconds provide considerable space and convenience for the creation of pictures.

yes For general users, selfie provides 17 photographing modes, 12 filters, and 10 levels of real-time beauty adjustment, especially HDR and real-time filters, which are quite easy to use. For girls who like taking selfies The temptation of beauty is irresistible. In addition, the timing shooting function provided by selfie is quite good, which makes it easier for us to take beautiful photos without clicking the photo button.

The system also provides a post software, allowing us to create more.

White Balance&Exposure

Selfie's white balance is still very accurate. There is no obvious color deviation problem, but the exposure is slightly conservative. Many scenes need to increase exposure compensation.

color

Selfie's color is more realistic, and it does not use high saturation to please the eye, especially for colors that are easy to overflow, such as red and yellow.

Weak light

Due to the sensor, the weak light performance of the mobile phone has always been weak. Selfie's performance is OK but not surprising. Even if the weak light mode or night view mode is turned on, the noise in the image quality is still obvious.

focusing

Selfie's focusing is a big surprise. Selfie is equipped with a laser focusing system. Both the focusing speed and the focusing accuracy are very good. In particular, the focusing performance under weak light is completely different from that of ordinary mobile phones. It can be completely described as fast, accurate and ruthless.
