4. Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG (16 GB):
In July, Asus had launched 3 NEW PHONES
with its new Zenfone series of phones exclusively on flipkart. And at this price we have got the Asus Zenfone 5 (16 GB) which is really a great phone. It has got the 1.6 GHz Intel dual core processor with 2 GB RAM which deliver exceptional performance and good multi-tasking and its very good for gaming also. The 5 inches HD screen and the display is very good, it has also got the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. One more thing I loved about the phone is, it has increased display sensitivity so you can use the phone even while wearing gloves, this is great for winter season. The phone’s design is sleek and beautiful. It has got very good camera and it runs on the latest Android OS. Okay, now one thing I felt could have been better is the phone’s UI, it runs on Asus’s own ZenUI which is good but it can be made even more good looking. Overall this phone is a very good buy. And guys here is the key, both the 8 GB and 16 GB versions of this phone have got the same specs and are expandable, so its much better to go with the 8 GB version as it will save you 3,000 Rs.
