If you already forgot the Zenfone 5 specifications let me refresh your memory. The Asus Zenfone 5 is a midrange smartphone powered by the excellent Kyro 1.8GHz Snapdragon 636 chipset alongside 6GB of RAM for the best of multi-tasking purposes. The handset features a 6.2-inch LCD IPS display with 2246 x 1080 pixels of resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio confirming the presence of the infamous notch on the top of the display. On the camera department, the Zenfone 5 carries a dual 12MP camera setup on the rear and a single 8MP selfie-snapper on the front.
Last but not least, the smartphone is fueled by a 3,300mAh battery, carries the 3.5mm headphone jack, aluminum build, Dual SIM and microSD card support. While the smartphone is already available in Europe, the UK costumers are eagerly waiting for a release, thankfully it won’t take so long now.
It’s a great phone! Been using it for 4 weeks now, switched from an Essential and never looked back.
