The New Features of Asus ZenFone 5 Z

Most of the other features that were enhanced were in the camera, so let's quickly have a look at the camera and the interface hasn't changed a lot. However, there are some new features added to the camera app. As you can see, we are now in the camp mode, get life filters, let me bring some objects nearby so that you can have an idea of this Android device and its various features. If you just swipe from top, you get these filters and you get the live preview, which allows you to easily select which one you want.

Another new feature is the "Let's just go back" option, which is for advanced users who want raw support. To access it, you have to go into the pro mode, where you can find settings like camera resolution. Now, in the pro mode, we have raw and JPEG as options, allowing you to get RAW files if you are an advanced user.

This feature is also added, which is a nice thing that they have implemented in my Frank opinion. Let's just go back to the auto mode for now, and I don't remember this, but now we even have the panorama mode. Panorama mode was not present earlier, but it has been added to the camera app.

Another feature that I liked is if you go over here, "Video" whatever, which will come back later. We also have this anti-flicker option, earlier it was at 50 or 60 Hz, and now it's fixed. This means that you won't get flickering in your videos anymore. You can just keep the anti-flicker on auto, and it will automatically detect whether to use a higher frame rate or not.

Frankly speaking, if you're shooting video, just keep it on auto, and let it manage it for you. This is also a very nice addition that Asus has made to the ZenFone 5 Z camera app. Another feature that I've noticed is that now in the pro mode, you can use the flash travel and also in terms of electronic image stabilization in the video. Now, the camera actually does Electronic Image Stabilization even at 60 fps for 1080p video earlier it was not the case.

Also, in the 18:9 aspect ratio, the camera stabilizes the video, which is a nice addition. You can switch this option on and off as you like. In the pro mode, there's also an option to use Electronic Image Stabilization in the video. This feature has been added to make the video stabilization better.

Another new feature that I've noticed is OAS (Optical Audio System) during the video shooting. This system automatically adjusts the audio settings based on the conditions of the recording environment, and it gets the best results possible from EIS or Y. This means that you can get high-quality audio even in different environments.

Now, if you shoot 4k video specifically, there's a possibility that the handset might get warm due to increased power consumption. However, Asus has implemented a feature to give you an idea when the handset is getting heated. If it gets too hot, you'll be warned, and you should stop your recording to avoid damage.

Lastly, I've noticed that even in the HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode, the camera is doing a lot better job now compared to earlier builds. The white balance is also improved in the pro mode, which makes a big difference if you're using this feature. The front-facing selfie camera has also seen an improvement, with slight enhancements in image quality.

Overall, Asus has made significant improvements to the ZenFone 5 Z's camera app and other features. These updates are sure to please users who were looking for better performance from their smartphones.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjith and I had actually reviewed this Asus zenfone 5 about two months ago and during that time it has actually received two major software updates in fact the large software update has added a lot of new features to this device so in this video I'm gonna have a look at what this new update does to the Asus zenfone 5 Z so let's now move to my desk and let me actually show you the features so here we have the issues and font Phi Z and let me actually show you one thing first our face unlocking has always been there on this smartphone but what you have to actually do is you have to actually press the power button and then bring your face and unlocks but now they have implemented this feature left to wait for example the phone is just like this and if you just lift it like this as you can see it wakes up and unlocks so to enable this what you have to do is obviously do the update and here go to the display settings and check this option left to check the phone so whenever you left your phone and if your faces there it just automatically analog just like the iPhone 10 and it works very well and the next thing is about these we have the Lisa virtual buttons for navigation home and all those things but let's say you want gestures that's also actually implemented in this and to enable that again you have to go to the settings go to display and a navigation bar now enable this known as navigation gestures now as you can see that home button and all those things are actually gone and now to go back to the home you have to just swipe like this and it goes back to the home let's say you want to go to the multitasking bar how do you do you just swipe from here to the top and you get to the multitasking tray but let's just go back over here let's go back to the home and for back for example you are in the browser let's say you are browsing this website or whatever you want to go back one level you just do this swipe and you go back so again the swipe gesture is also there and it actually works very well once you can be used to it it's very easy to actually use this one and now for notice most of the other features that were enhanced were in the camera so let's quickly have a look at the camera and the interface hasn't changed a lot but now as you can see we are in the camp we get life filters let me bring some objects nearby so that you can have an idea this Android and all these things and if you just swipe from top you get these filters and you get the live preview so you can easily select which one you want another thing is that let's just go back is that this is for advanced users if you would like to have raw support that is now provided for that you have to go into the pro mode here you are in the pro mode again as you can see go to the settings and go to the camera resolution and go at the last as you can see we have raw and JPEG so if you are an advanced user who wants or RAW files you can get that now in the pro mode so this one was also added this is nice thing that they have implemented in my Frank opinion let's just go back to the auto mode for now and also if you go here I don't remember this but now we even have the panorama would correct me if I am wrong if they have it was there already but yeah we also have the panorama mode here so that's what it is let's just go back to the auto mode and another thing that I liked is if you go over here video whatever we'll come back to that later we have this anti flicker earlier it was at 50 or 60 Hertz fixed now I have noticed that you can just keep it on auto and it automatically detects for example then you don't get that flickering what do you say it's that you sometimes get in the video so this is also a very nice addition and frankly speaking if you're shooting video just keep it on auto and let it manage it that's also a nice addition that they have done also another thing that I've noticed is that now in the pro mode you can use the flash travel and also in terms of electronic image stabilization in the video now it actually does a is electronic image stabilization even at 60fps for 1080p video earlier it was not the case and also in the 18 s to 9 aspect ratio it does yes so those options have been added as you can see video stabilization you can switch it on and off that is the EIA status also added up to 60fps so that's also a nice addition also during the video when you shoot the video that has OAS as well as es so depending on the conditions it will automatically adjust it and get the best results of what it wants from E is or Y so that's also another addition also you might have noticed if you shoot 4k video specifically the handset tends to get a little bit warm again every handset at 4k tends to get very warm if you use it and some even actually stop after five minutes of video but that's not the case on this one but again if there is some more heating issues when you shoot 4k videos for example it might happen after seven eight nine minutes or whatever it will give you a warning over here overheating it won't stop automatically but that will give you an idea that the handset is getting heated so you should stop your recording so that's also a nice feature that is added and also in Pro Mode now they have improved it and the noise is a lot less compared to the earlier bed so that's also a nice thing and I've noticed that even in the HDR high dynamic range it actually is doing a lot better job now and also in the Pro Mode the white balance is a lot better now compared to the earlier build so again if you are using that Pro Mode you will notice that difference and I have also noticed slight improvement in the front-facing selfie camera that we got with this so those are some of the improvements that I have noticed and this is the thing that I just accidentally found for example when you're shooting the video earlier the audio quality was okay but it was recording only actor for example let's just go back it was recording only actor what do you say 92 kilobits per second but now the audio recording while you shoot the video is bumped up to 192 kilobits so the audio is a lot more crisper so these were the improvements that I've noticed with the zenfone 5 Z with the latest but it's nice to see that Asus is continuously adding new functionality and improving the performance of the zenfone 5 Z so if you have the as in phone Phi Z and if you have applied the update would love to know your feedback so guys that's it for now for this quick video thanks for watching this is Ranjit and I hope to see in my next video dica guyshi there this is Ranjith and I had actually reviewed this Asus zenfone 5 about two months ago and during
