Asus Zenfone 5Z takes on OnePlus 6(Asus)
Asus is taking a leaf from OnePlus’ book by delivering a smartphone that comes with top-of-the-line specifications and affordable price tag. While OnePlus has cemented its position as ‘flagship killer’ with back-to-back successful devices like OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 6, Asus is looking to do the same with its latest offering, Zenfone 5Z.
Apart from the high-end specifications, Asus Zenfone 5Z is really aggressively priced. Available with a starting price of Rs 29,999, Asus Zenfone 5Z is one the cheapest phones to come with Qualcomm’s best processor, Snapdragon 845. The base model also features 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage. In comparison, OnePlus 6 base variant (6GB + 64GB) is available for Rs 34,999.
Asus Zenfone 5Z impresses on the specifications sheet, but we know that stuffing top-of-the-line specifications doesn’t necessarily mean better performance or quality. We’ve been using the Asus Zenfone 5Z for quite some time now. Here’s how the phone fared as a flagship smartphone in general and if it’s worth a choice over the OnePlus 6.
Design
The phone is pretty handy as well and fits perfectly into one’s hand. You have the fingerprint sensor at the rear centre which is quite comfortable to use, and fast as well. The phone’s aluminium body is wrapped in a 2.5D glass in two colours of ‘Meteor Silver’ and ‘Midnight Black’.

The reflective metal-glass back gives off a very premium look. You can fiddle with the colours of the display and change according to your preference. There’s also a blue light filter for better readability in low light.

Performance wise, the phone works pretty smooth on normal usage and even during multi-tasking. Games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) on the Zenfone 5Z was a good experience altogether with the full-screen display and no lags.
The 3,330mAh battery lasts well throughout the day on a full charge. This counts for normal usage of the phone like calling, messaging and using social media. The phone has survived pretty well on battery as low as 10% with the power saving mode turned on.
