      Asus Zenfone 5 Performance on a budget

      Asus Zenfone 5 Performance on a budget


      The Asus Zenfone has raised and turned quite a few heads in the smartphone segment. Not only has Asus managed to hit all the right notes with the Zenfone but has also dethroned the Moto G to be the next King of budget phones. Dont get me wrong here. Both phones are top notch when it comes to build quality and ergonomics. However, the main aspect where the Moto G falls short on is the performance and package contents. The G only ships with a MicroUSB cable. There is no headphone or even a charging adapter. The 8 GB and 16 GB versions sell for Rs. 12,499 and Rs. 13,999 respectively. The Asus Zenfone 5 on the other hand retails for Rs. 9999 (8 GB) and Rs. 12,999 (16 GB). Below is a comparison sheet of both the Zenfone 5 and the Moto G.

      CPU Hyperthreaded Dual-core 1.6 GHz Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
      GPU PowerVR SGX544MP2 | 533 MHz Adreno 305 | 450 MHz


      What�s in the box?!

      A charging head, a cable approximately 1.5 meters long, in-ear headphones, a warranty card and a user manual. So that sums up the whole package contents (with the phone obviously).

      The Zenfone 5

      For its size and build the Zenfone 5 is surprisingly light. It�s even lighter than the S3 which I had previously. It comes with a 5-inch IPS capacitive screen that has a pixel resolution of 294 ppi. The fit and finish is top notch and the rubberized rear (though plastic) adds an extra bit of confidence when held.

      The Zenfone 5 houses a non-removable 2110 mAh battery, an Intel Atom (Saltwell) processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, a PowerVR SGX544 MP2 GPU clocked at 533 MHz, 2 GB of LPDDR2 RAM, support for two micro SIM cards and an expansion slot that can accommodate a 64 GB microSD card. For under 10k, that�s one heck of a configuration.

      Booting and Installation

      Setting up the phone was easy however I did tend to get a bit lost trying to configure Asus�s free online WebStorage (3 GB). According to me, they should shift their personal customizations after the user boots into the OS. There was a point during installation where I couldn�t gain access to the home-screen. It took me a whole 5 minutes to find my way out.

      Bundled Software

      The phone comes with a decent set of bundled software. Apart from the already mentioneda Asus WebStorage the Zenfone 5 comes with their proprietary calendar, a �Do It Later� task manager, an audio wizard and a Splendid mode, which basically allows you to either enhance or adjust the overall color temperature. There are three more additional features which is the PC Link, Remote Link and Share Link; all housed inside one folder which Asus aptly named as the ZenLink.

      Performance

      For a budget phone the Asus ZenFone 5 returned a decent score of 19611 in AnTuTu X, giving it a lead of 1655 points over Samsung�s Galaxy S3 (which still retails for Rs. 20,000+).  The PowerVR SGX544 MP2 sets new standards when it comes to 2D (1651) and 3D (6738) gaming, beating the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Sony Experia Z and the Google Nexus 7. You can check the chart given below.

      AnTuTu X Benchmark
      2D Graphics 3D Graphics
      Asus Zenfone 5 1651 6738
      HTC One 1567 6421
      Samsung Galaxy Note 2 1492 4477
      Sony Experia Z 1451 5856
      Google Nexus 7 1642 5771
      Samsung Galaxy S3 1257 3701

      Both Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3 played flawlessly at their highest settings and with 1.2 GB of free memory at your disposal switching between apps has never been this smooth. 

      Headphone Performance
      If you love a little base in your music then you will enjoy these bundled headphones. I have personally enjoyed the Cowon EM1 for the last one year on the Galaxy S3 but they sound rather flat when used with the Zenfone 5.

      Let me put it this way, just to give you a comparison of the overall performance. The headphone bundled with the Zenfone 5 is what Cowon EM1 was with the Galaxy S3. And on a scale of 10 I would give it an 8.5 for audio. 

      They are small, extremely compact and snugly fit the ear with much ease. Also, the headphones come with 3 different size ear pads, thus allowing you to choose the one that fit you best.

      Battery Life

      The battery will last for about 7 hours to 7 hours 30 minutes with nothing left to spare. Here is how a very generalized test was conducted.
      Google Navigation: 15 min
      Music: 4 hours
      Web Browsing: 20 min
      Gaming: 25 min
      Movie @ 720p: 2 hours 20 min
      *Mobile network (3G) was left on throughout the testing process

      Do note that the Zenfone 5 was not operating on just one SIM, but on two. This also reduces battery as the phone needs to handle two networks rather than just one.

      If you are not a heavy user the battery should last for about 9 to 9 hours 30 min. But then again it all depends on usage.

      Verdict

      I have had this phone for a while and the overall experience has been astoundingly good. For Rs. 9999, I personally don�t think there is a better performing phone than the Asus Zenfone 5. Do keep in mind that there is no update to KitKat (4.4.2) as of now. So you will have to make do with JellyBean (4.3) for a month or so.

      Xiaomi Mi 3 Review Amazing Performance at a Crazy Price

      Xiaomi Mi 3 Review Amazing Performance at a Crazy Price



      Xiaomi has come out of nowhere and captured the imagination of the Indian market. We might be extremely brand conscious, but thats never stood in the way of a fantastic bargain. The upstart Chinese smartphone manufacturer promises just that - a Rs. 14,000 phone with specifications that match those of competitors products which cost twice as much.


      The Mi 3 looks great on paper, and if Xiaomi can pull off what its promising, it will throw the entire market into disarray. The effect could be far more significant than that of the Motorola relaunch in India, which has redefined our expectations and kicked competition into high gear this year. At the end of it, consumers gain the most, with improved choices and lower prices.


      We have the Xiaomi Mi 3 with us for review, so of course we put it through our exhaustive test process to see what all the fuss is about.


      The Xiaomi Mi 3 comes in a beautifully minimalist Muji-esque cardboard box with nothing but a small MI logo in one corner. The phone itself is snugly encased in a small cavity in the middle. It looks fantastic, but unfortunately the label on the rear and the text on the protective plastic are in Chinese. Theres nothing in the box other than the phone, a charger head, USB cable, and a small sheaf of papers (with a SIM eject pin much like Apples) - not even a headset. The papers are all in Chinese, and the charger has flat pins too. We hope the packages that end up in retail here are suitably localised.

      The phone itself looks good at first, but that impression doesnt carry through when you pick it up. Its very plasticky and feels a bit insubstantial even though Xiaomi advertises an "Aluminium-Magnesium alloy frame". The material quality is on par with that of similarly priced devices from Indian brands, so we have to remind ourselves not to expect too much.


      The Mi 3 has a unique design, with the black front panel set into a unibody plastic shell. Its sides are rounded but the top and bottom are flat, resulting in corners that dug into our palms when we held the phone. The screen is large enough that one finger wont reach all corners, but shifting it around in one hand is also difficult. The front face is protected by reinforced Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

      Theres a bright silver MI logo in one corner above the screen. The three capacitive buttons light up when the screen is active but are invisible otherwise. There is a large speaker grille on the bottom, with the Micro-USB port set off to one side. The 3.5mm headset socket is on the top, along with an oversized SIM card tray and secondary microphone. The power and volume buttons are on the right edge, leaving the left totally blank.


      The camera and flash are in the top right corner of the rear, and the rest of it is blank apart from another MI logo towards the bottom, right above a few regulatory logos and more text in Chinese. Overall, the Mi 3 is distinct, and wed go so far as to call it handsome, but theres no confusing it for a top-end Sony or HTC smartphone.


      Now comes the most interesting part. Somehow, Xiaomi has managed to cram all the components of a 2013 flagship into a 2014 budget phone. The spec list starts with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with four Krait 400 CPU cores running at 2.3GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU. The screen is a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920-pixel) IPS panel and the camera is a 13-megapixel Exmor unit with a dual-LED flash. Theres also 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage space, a 3050mAh battery, NFC, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and A-GPS with GLONASS.


      Its still a bit hard to digest the fact that all this hardware is contained within a phone that costs just Rs. 14,000. The Moto G, which has been the most obvious phone to recommend at this price ever since its launch is based on a Snapdragon 400 SoC and has a 720p screen - and that was what we considered a breakthrough in value devices just six short months ago.


      Theres only one shortcoming, but its a really big one. For some strange reason, the Xiaomi Mi 3 lacks a microSD card slot. With all this power at our fingertips, its a crying shame that storage space is limited to 16GB (only around 13GB of which is user-accessible). Xiaomi does sell a 64GB model internationally, but it is not being offered in India at launch time. If the company stays on track and keeps the price premium minimal if or when it does launch, there should be no reason to buy the 16GB version anymore.



      The Mi 3 runs Android 4.4.2, but for better or worse, its nearly invisible under Xiaomis custom MIUI skin. Right from the lock screen, you know its unique. You have to swipe downwards to unlock the phone, which takes some getting used to. You can also swipe in other directions to jump straight to the camera, phone or messaging apps. MIUI lets you define custom text that shows up on the lock screen, which could include your contact details so that people can return the phone to you if you lose it.

      Xiaomi has gone with a redundant Menu button rather than a dedicated Recents button - this is a waste, considering menus are always visible in Android 4.4. Long-pressing the button brings up a custom app switcher which shows you how much RAM is currently occupied, and lets you close all open apps with one tap.


      We arent huge fans of custom interfaces which merge the Android homescreens and app launcher pages. MIUI allows you to place custom icons in the app grid which are either shortcuts to a specific Settings page or independent toggles for functions such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Other widgets, such as a search bar, email preview, photo gallery and sticky note can also be sprinkled in with the app icons and shortcuts. This gets really confusing once you start filling up your homescreens.


      The notifications shade is also heavily customised. Quick settings arent visible immediately, which is a shame considering the available screen space, but you can switch to a tab full of toggles as well as a brightness slider. The Settings app also has a Quick Settings tab for options you need to get to frequently. You can tweak lots of little settings, such as the system font and font size, colour temperature, notification LED behaviour, capacitive button functions, and even the behaviour of buttons on a headset. We like having this much control over the phones functions.


      You can sign up for an Mi Cloud account if you want to sync data between devices, send messages (to other Mi Cloud users), and locate or wipe out your phone if its lost or stolen. The account is also required if you want to download additional UI themes (such as the overly cutesy India theme with kitschy icons and images of the Taj Mahal everywhere).


      Theres a Guest Mode which lets you hides sensitive personal information while others use your phone. The preloaded Security app lets you scan for problems, block troublesome callers, monitor data usage and review app permissions.


      MIUI also includes an updater app, a torch, a file explorer, an NFC tag utility, Facebook, Kingsoft Office and the Flipkart app, as well as custom Gallery and Music apps. Of course Googles usual buffet of apps is also present, but theyre all lumped into one folder. Even though there are duplicate apps, at no point did we see the usual annoying popups asking us which app to open a file or link in.


      Like the rest of its software, the Mi 3 has a custom camera interface. Its set to Simple Mode by default, but theres also an Advanced Mode that increases the number of controls available. There are easily accessible toggles the flash, HDR mode, panorama, filters and skin tone enhancement. Dig a little deeper and youll find settings for picture quality, sounds, watermarking, exposure settings, face recognition, saturation, sharpness and more.


      In Advanced Mode, youll also get focus controls including a dedicated macro setting and manual focus, ISO and simulated shutter speed control, white balance (including manual adjustment and measurement tools), and exposure compensation.


      Image quality is pretty good, though this is the one area in which we didnt feel as though we were testing a much more expensive device. Detailing could have been better and compression could have been scaled down a bit. Textures seemed to be indistinct even on objects in the foreground. Most of our photos, even those taken in daylight, came out with a slightly artificial feel, as though a creative filter had been applied.



      Indoors, lighting made a huge difference. Our shots of a room at night were quite terrible, even with plenty of light coming in from outside through glass walls. Noise was evident everywhere, and the edges of objects became indistinct.


      We were pleased with the low light performance outdoors and the powerful flash. Shots taken outdoors at night were of course noisy and slightly blurred, but looked good enough when scaled down to screen size. With a very steady hand, youll be able to get some nice shots. On the other hand, the front-facing camera isnt anything to get excited about.


      Performance
      Theres no doubt about it - the Xiaomi Mi 3 is outrageously powerful. It runs rings around anything in its price class and nearly doubles the scores we recorded with the Moto G, which was until now our gold standard for value and performance at this price point. The Mi 3 scored 26,308 in AnTuTu and 15,395 in Quadrant overall, whereas the Moto G scored 11,874 and 8,569 respectively. The Mi 3 maxed out 3DMarks Ice Storm test and managed 28fps in GFXbench, while the Moto G managed 5,629 points and 11fps. The numbers really do paint a startling picture.


      The Lenovo Vibe Z and Gionee Elife E7 have very similar specifications to the Xiaomi Mi 3 and interestingly, both of them performed significantly better than it in most tests - for example, their AnTuTu scores were 35,105 and 33,636 respectively. Its hard to pinpoint the exact reason for the Mi 3s lower performance, but then again it costs almost exactly half as much as either of these competitors. Its worth noting that we ran all tests on the Mi 3 in the standard balanced power mode, not the high performance or battery saver modes which are available in the Battery section of the Settings app.


      We had no doubt that the Mi 3 would play all our test videos, and it lived up to our expectations. Audio quality through the speaker was a pleasant surprise. 3D games ran well enough for our liking. Music and movies were loud and clear, though not especially detailed. Call quality was also quite good.


      With everything so far seeming too good to be true, we hoped that the Mi 3s battery wouldnt turn out to be a dud. The Mi 3 defied all our expectations and lasted for 9 hours, 44 minutes in our video loop test. Even in everyday usage, we were constantly surprised by how slowly the charge level dropped.


      The Xiaomi Mi 3 is a sensational product. Competitors, especially Indian companies, should be very afraid. If Xiaomi keeps going the way it has begun, it could easily take over the entire Indian market. Well have to wait a while to see how the companys after-sales network shapes up, but that shouldnt be a problem for long given how serious it appears to be about the Indian market.


      This phone might not have it all, but its got more than enough to tempt buyers who would have otherwise gone for the Moto G. It is by far the best phone available for less than Rs. 15,000 today (and by many measures could also be the best phone available for less than Rs. 20,000 or even more). We cannot wait to see how the industry responds to this new threat.
