OOTD, Pictures clicked with Asus Zenfone 3 | Review

Hi guys,

I have reviewed many Asus phones including the tab before, read all HERE. I have to say this Zenfone 3 is the most exciting one, coz of the camera!

Colors: Moonlight White, Shimmer Gold, Aqua Blue, Sapphire Black

Price: Rs.21999/-

It comes with USB-C type charger, user guide, headphones with additional caps.

The Zendesign and front and rear 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass makes it look elegant and classy (also scratch free) and the design has won a few awards already!

Absolutely love the sleek design and the metal outer frame, plus it is very light weight!

PixelMaster 3.0 packs a 16MP camera with the latest Sony® IMX298 sensor, six-element Largan lens with a large f/2.0 aperture, and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds. Optical and electronic image stabilization for blur-free shots and video, color correction sensor for true color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.

The TriTech ultra fast 0.03s auto focus is the first of its kind and exclusive only to Zenfone 3. For the first time in the smartphone world, the engineers at Asus have combined three focusing technologies — laser, phase detection and continuous auto-focus — into one harmonious system. The optical image stabilizer prevents any blurry/shaky photos coz of hand movements.

The 64MP Super Resolution and Real Time HDR makes the pictures look absolutely true to life and super vivid and sharp! The pictures in Super Resolution mode are better than DSLR’s too! But of course, the files are very heavy in size.

Zenfone 3 not only looks amazing and has a fabulous camera, but also comes packed with power! It has 4-bit, 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon™ 625 processor, 4GB memory and desktop-grade Adreno™ 506 graphics performance. This powerhouse processor has revolutionary 14nm Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs) to deliver full-on performance while reducing power consumption by 35%. World’s First 14nm Snapdragon processor with with 64-Bit Octa-Core CPU @2.0Ghz : S625 is much more powerful than previous generation thanks to new full 8 core @ 2.0Ghz. 2016 S625 is around the same level of performance of 2015 S800 series. 14nm is the most advance process technology in 2016. FinFet LPP technology increase the powering saving more than 35%. As conclusion, S625 is not mid end processor , it’s middlle-high end processor with great user experience.

It has 4G/3G dual-SIM bay for complete flexibility for up to 300Mbps (Category 7) downloads via either card, and the latest 802.11ac technology for Wi-Fi connections that scream at up to 433Mbps. ZenFone 3 even offers accelerated charging, with a five-minute top-up adding two hours of talk time to the powerful 3000mAh battery — and reversible USB-C for any-way-up connectivity convenience! The USB-C also ensures that the phone never heats up while getting charged or while playing games/surfing the web.

It has 4G LTE and works on Android Marshmallow. It comes with both 5.2 and 5.5 inch display size, this is the 5.2 inch one in Shimmer Gold, love the halo it creates.

The camera of course comes with all the classic Asus features like HDR, Super HDR, Panorama, Selfie Panorama, Sepia, Beautification, Time Lapse, Slow Motion, etc. It also has an in built editor with various filters/frames and some basic editing options.

The 16MP rear camera is super sharp and clear, I have clicked some pictures and they are all raw/unedited, I have only resized them as each picture was around 3MB!

Also used the front 8MP camera for some selfies. Front camera also has Beautification, HDR Pro mode, etc. I have clicked in normal Auto mode, Beautification mode and in HDR Pro.

Auto
Beautification
HDR Pro

I am loving the pictures!

Game Genie, Sonic Master, Finger print sensor are some of the other fabulous features to look at!

All these features and specs definitely deserve a price much higher, but 21999 is a steal for Asus Zenfone 3! I believe it has everything one needs in a smartphone from camera to battery life to performance! Total value for money! You can check more or buy them on Flipkart www.flipkart.com/zenfone-3

How Asus ZenPad 8.0 Makes My Life Easy

Hi guys,

I know a lot of gadgets and Asus is being reviewed on the blog, but being a blogger who is 24/7 online on all social media platforms and keeps clicking and uploading and tweeting and snapchatting and doing live beams or youtube or blogging all the time, apart from emails, invoices, following up on payments,etc. is tough! Phew :/

And smartphones, tabs, gadgets make our life easy and sorted. I was using the Samsung Galaxy 2 Tab since years and it is quite old now, so I was looking for a new tab with all the advanced features and got the Asus Zenpad 8.0 at the perfect time. I love how a tab is not as inconvenient as a smartphone and still easy to carry around and work with.

It runs on Android 5.0, with the ZenUI overlay, almost the same as with other Asus smartphones. It comes with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of  internal storage (expandable upto 128GB), and LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and a 4000mAh battery. The battery lasts really long!! One of the main reasons why I love it.

The Zenpad comes with a charger. There is a separate audio cover and the cover’s charger at an additional cost of Rs.3000/-

It has interchangeable covers in black, white and grey. It is 8 inches in size, so easy to carry around and quite light weight (350g). Fits in my smaller handbags too.

Front Cam Beautification Mode

It has 8MP Rear camera with f/2.0 which is pretty decent, has Tru2Life technology which captures pictures as vivid and clear as in real with no change or modification in colors or brightness. It catches every minute detail and the pictures are very sharp because of the PixelMaster. The front cam is 2MP, both cameras are without flashes. It is not the best camera out there, but pretty good for a tablet. Compared to other tablets, the camera is top notch. The camera has all the features as in their other smartphones (Read more in my Zenfone 2 Laser Review HERE)

Pic clicked with Zenpad, see the colors are more true to real life.
Front Cam Selfie with Beautification Mode

VisualMaster optimizes all aspects of the display — including contrast, sharpness, color, clarity, and brightness — resulting in an incredibly realistic viewing experience.

It runs smooth with many apps open too, inspite of 2GB RAM. Only gets a bit slow during gaming and gets a little heated up too. But for regular browsing , updating, it is perfect. I can even blog on the go with this!

Asus Audio Cover

The sound can be amplified with the audio cover. ASUS Audio Cover (Sold separately) is an entertainment accessory that brings cinematic, 5.1-channel surround sound to ASUS ZenPad 8.0. DTS-HD Premium Sound and SonicMaster technology provide further enhancement, ensuring the ultimate audio experience on ASUS ZenPad 8.0. It has 6 speakers including a subwoofer which means 6 x sound volume and one charge gives 6 hours battery life. It practically works as a bluetooth speaker with better quality. You can carry it around in your car or a house party or anywhere. You just need a party playlist in the Zenpad and your are sorted. The look and feel of the Audio Cover is excellent, it looks like a diary and makes for a perfect case for the Zenpad.

I can blog, update my social media, or watch YouTube videos loud and clear with the Audio Cover and do a ton of stuff from making notes to clicking pictures to sending invoices to doing live beams on Fame or Periscope with this.

Priced at Rs.14,999/-, it is one multi- tasking device that will sort your life. It has definitely sorted mine! If you are looking for a new handy tab, then look nowhere else, coz Asus Zenpad 8.0 is your answer.

Do you use a pad or tablet? Which one?

Asus #HarPalHappiness Offer This Diwali

Hi Guys,

Diwali is around the corner and it is one festival where a lot of exchange of gifts take place. We receive many gifts and give out many, though most of the times the gifts are cliché and not something necessarily useful for the person.

I always believe in gifting people something they would actually like and use, rather than something which would get piled up in the showcase for years.

I had gifted by husband a new phone few months ago but unfortunately his phone got stolen 1-2 weeks ago and currently he is using one of my old phones. I was planning to gift him a new phone this Diwali as it is the perfect timing. I am so glad Asus India has come up with this amazing offer this Diwali!!

Asus India is brightening up lives this Diwali with the “Har Pal Happiness Offer”, where customers buying a ASUS Zenfone will get a chance to win Flipkart gift vouchers worth Rs.1,000 every hour. And, one lucky customer will also stand a chance to win gold vouchers worth Rs.25,000 every day! The offer is available HERE.

Now that’s a win win! I get to gift someone and make that person happy plus I win myself some vouchers too 😉 I don’t mind that at all.

Gift Yourself Happiness. Because if you gift an Asus mobile this Diwali, the chances are you’ll win a gift for yourself too! The offer ends on 11th November, so make sure you utilize the offer soon.

I am definitely gifting one, are you??
