Asus Zenfone Live In-Depth Review

By
Devesh Arora
-

Asus had recently launched its Zenfone Live in India and focusing on the audience interested in creating social live video content. Asus boasts this as the world's first smartphone with real-time beautification technology for live-streaming. The new Asus Zenfone Live's main selling point is its live beautification mode in real time, which artificially beautifies your face during live streaming. So, here is our in-depth review on the Zenfone Live.

Asus Zenfone Live

Design

The design is nothing to boast about and is something inspired from the Zenfone 3-series. The phone does have a 2.5D Gorilla Glass at the front and has rounded edges which make the smartphone comfortable to hold. One thing which really impressed us about the device is its weight. The Asus Zenfone Live weighs just around 120grams and 8mm thick, which makes it much lighter than other phones in the market.

 

The smartphone sports a 5.0" display upfront, a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, power key and volume rocker on the right, on the left you will find the dual hybrid SIM tray, on the back you find the camera setup with a LED flash and the "ASUS" branding, and on the bottom you find the speaker grill, microphone, and the micro-USB port. Zenfone Live is available in three colours Rose Pink, Black and Gold.

Software

The device runs on the Android 6.0.1(Marshmellow) out-of-the-box with the Asus’s Zen-UI skin layered on the top. The software is decent with a bundle of Asus’s apps that make the UI much better and adds some great features to it. The device has cold screen access with a double tap to wake and app launch shortcuts along with the features like flip to silence and an app lock built right in the core. There are some useful and unique apps like the Zenfit and the BeautyLive. There is not much needed to say about the Zen-UI. Its feature loaded and overall experience is truly amazing.

Camera

The Zenfone Live has a 13-megapixel camera at the back with a single LED flash. For selfies and some live streaming, it packs a 5-megapixel camera at the front with a selfie flash. Following are some pictures from both the cameras of the Asus Zenfone Live, which will help you to judge the quality and performance.

Battery

The 2,650mAh battery easily lasted a full-working-day with calling, internet surfing, and some casual gaming. For minimal to moderate usage the device can easily hold up a full day, whereas aggressive users can be a bit disappointed with the battery life lasting only 5-6 hours. However, the device gave me a SOT (Screen-on-Time) of about two and a half hours which can help me to conclude that the device can deliver a SOT of 2.5hrs to 3.5hrs, which is enough for a moderate user. The Zenfone Live doesn't support fast charging but can charge up in 2hrs as the battery is just 2650mAH.

Performance

The Asus Zenfone Live is not made for heavy gaming but can handle some light or medium games easily without any issues. The device won't face any lags with some moderate social media apps running in the background. A user won't face any issues until he throws some heavy games or apps on the phone.

Specifications

Asus Zenfone Live is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 clocked at 1.40GHz coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of inbuilt storage which is further expandable up to 128GB using a micro-sd card. The phone sports a 13-megapixel primary camera with single LED flash and a 5-megapixel front camera with a selfie flash. The device support most of the connectivity options like, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio, 4G LTE and it also supports VoLTE.

Pros

  • Light-Weight
  • Great Microphones
  • Live Beautification

Cons

  • A bit overpriced
  • No Fingerprint Sensor

Verdict

Asus with the Zenfone Live has made a good smartphone that everyone can appreciate, they also have become the market first to bring the Live Beautification feature for live videos with this. The phone as per us is a must buy if you are looking for a secondary smartphone, but if you want to use this as your primary device we would recommend you not buy this and go for some other smartphone in similar price range. Though Asus has kept their promise of delivering seamless live streaming videos, they still have missed out on features which have become a basic offering in this price range like the fingerprint sensor. Asus might have overpriced this phone a bit as you can get the Xiaomi Redmi 4 or the Redmi 3S which are similar phones but for a lower price.

The data traffic for every smartphone user in India will touch 11GB per month, by 2022

Smartphones are getting popular day by day and India has been bringing a lot of users to this world of network and technology. More and more people are getting connected and usage of the internet is increasing. The overall mobile subscriber base in India is likely to grow to 1.4 billion by 2022 and nearly one-third of them will be 4G users, says a report by Ericsson Mobility. China followed India with an addition of over 24 million mobile subscribers during the three-month period. India’s total mobile subscriber base is expected to grow to over 1.4 billion in the next five years of which 520 million will be 4G subscribers, the report said. India led the mobile subscriber’s growth globally with the highest net addition of over 43 million customers in January- March 2017, it said. The 5G service is expected to be operational in India by 2022 with a subscriber base of around 3 million, it added. “Based on the trend of deployment of LTE by telecom operators in India, we feel 3G will be the dominant technology in 2022,” Ericsson India, Head of Network Products, Nitin Bansal said.

Report 1

The “Ericsson Mobility Report 2017” also states that the total mobile data traffic in India is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 40%, reaching approximately eight exabytes of data per month compared to around one exabyte of data consumption by the end of 2016. By 2022, 97% of mobile data traffic will be through smartphones.

VoLTE

VoLTE subscriptions are estimated to reach 4.6 billion by the end of 2022. By this time, the VoLTE subscriber base in India is fixed at 370 million. “VoLTE represents a great opportunity for telecom operators in India who are looking to route voice calls over 4G LTE networks enabling lower cost per minute for voice calls as well as free up legacy spectrum bands for re-farming,” said Bansal.

Report 2

Network Technology

GSM remained the dominant technology in 2016, accounting for over 70% of total mobile subscriptions. LTE and WCDMA/HSPA technologies together are expected to represent 85% of all Indian subscriptions by 2022 while 5G subscriptions are forecasted to become available only in 2022 — representing at least 0.2% of total mobile subscriptions reaching three million.

Nubia has just launched the Z17 Mini in India and we have the first look for you on its gaming performance while split screening both Injustice 2 and N.O.V.A Legacy games on the Nubia Z17 Mini.

The Nubia Z17 Mini comes featuring a 5.2-inch full HD display. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 SoC. It comes in two RAM and internal storage variants - 4GB RAM/64GB internal storage and 6GB RAM/128GB of internal storage. All of this is backed by a 2,950mAh non-removable battery.

As for the camera, the Nubia Z17 Mini comes with a 13-megapixel dual camera setup on the rear. As for the front, the smartphone comes with a 16-megapixel selfie camera. All of the cameras use Sony sensors.

Nubia Z17 Mini gaming test:

We can see that the Nubia Z17 Mini ran both games that simultaneously on a split screen with no lag. Both of these games are top rated games for 2017. Also, Both these games are known to slow down smartphone performances.

Also Read: Nubia M2 Play to go on sale tomorrow exclusively via Amazon India

Nubia Z17 Mini is an extremely good smartphone as for it specifications, however, we think that the company might be asking a little more than the actual price the phone should sell for, just because its the first smartphone from the company to come with a dual camera setup.

We would have recommended the device to you if it was under Rs. 15,000, which would have been a fair price, however, you will currently be able to find much better smartphones at a lower price like the Xiaomi Mi A1.
