Its major drawbacks are its camera performance and battery life, which are also problems being experienced by HTC One M9, the latest flagship smartphone of HTC, a heavyweight in the business. Its screen is also pretty ordinary but in terms of what’s important to the users like the capability to process data faster, operate all the needed user apps, and make the smartphone really meet user needs, the Asus ZenFone 2 is really comparable to today’s flagship smartphones.
While it’s exactly not better than any of the current flagship smartphones of the major market players, the fact that the Asus ZenFone 2 can hold its own against those handsets on any given day is more than enough of a major achievement for the Taiwanese tech company.
The recently-released Asus ZenFone 2 may be a mid-range handset in terms of its $299 price tag, but it has features that cannot be found on some flagship smartphones that are worth $600 or more. The good thing for cost-conscious buyers is that the Asus ZenFone 2 has variants that even costs lower than $299.
And that is basically what makes the ZenFone 2 and its predecessor tick among the smart and economical buyers of current generation handsets. Why spend so much money on a branded flagship smartphone when you can get its features plus some more with Asus ZenFone 2?
