Asus Zenfone 5Z AMA _ FAQ - Your Questions Answered

**Asus Zenfone 5Z Review: Unpacking its Features and Performance**

Yes, it does have an inbuilt quad recording feature, so you don't have to worry about it. I did test it, and it works, and this is my experience with ETH (Electronic Image Stabilization) does it support dual apps or apps known feature? Yes, it does have a built-in functionality of dual apps, so you don't have to worry about it. There is an app called Mobile Manager on this one, and it has various functions, dewlaps are also there, and you can also unlock apps with this one. For example, I've logged this app, and now I have to use my fingerprint to unlock it. So, yes, all those features like dual apps blocking love apps are built-in; you don't have to worry about them.

**Cutting Corners**

I would say the biggest place where I think Asus has cut corners on this phone to achieve this kind of pricing is in the second camera. Like the fact that it's a wide-angle camera, not a telephoto lens that's a good thing because with the wide-angle lens, you can get a lot more and that can be useful when you're traveling somewhere, you can't go back; you get a lot more fighter picture. However, if you look at this wide image and you zoom in, the detail is actually not that much. The reason for that is the wide-angle lens is just 8 megapixel shooter, and with the wide angle lens, it's actually capturing a lot more. So, in fact, it should have been a higher resolution instead of 8 meg pixel; it should have been a 16 megapixel shooter. So, that is one area where I felt that Asus did a little bit of cost-cutting.

**Front Camera and Video Recording**

Instead of the 8 megapixel wide-angle lens, they should have gone with the higher resolution 16 meg pixel because to be very frank, the wide angle lens performance again if you zoom in and pitch a little bit; the detail is simply not there in the wide-angle pictures. The front-facing camera is actually good, doing something best or did they compromise with the front-facing camera? Yes, the issues with phone max pros front facing camera was not that good but this one is actually good, young here are some of the sample shots that I've taken with the front-facing camera and as you can see it's doing actually a very good job. Even it has the portrait mode with the front-facing camera and even a few I assume.

**Video Quality**

And also, I'm shooting this part of the footage with the front-facing camera of this Asus Zenfone 5 Z and as you can see I'm an outdoor conditions are very overcast day today and the audio that you're hearing is also being captured by its internal microphone. This smartphone claims to support the electronic image stabilization hence I'm just walking and you guys be a judge and let me know what do you feel about the video recording with its front-facing camera and how was the stabilization? Many of you have also asked me how is the video quality that does video stabilisation with this Asus zenfone 5 scene so I just shot these two videos one is at 1080p another one is that four came very quick sample with the rear facing camera of the asu's and forth 5 Z and I've kept this at 1080p can also shoot at 4k.

**Testing and Review**

I've kept this at 1080p can also shoot at 4k I'm just walking as you guys can see to give you an idea how is the video stabilization it has optical image stabilization also with the main camera. Let's also check the focusing speed skies in focus if you just pull out so the focusing is really fast let's also test in 4k how is the stabilization so these are the common questions that I was getting regarding this smartphone if you still have any other questions regarding the smartphone do post your questions in the YouTube comment section below I'd definitely try to answer them and I'll also be posting the full in-depth review for this device in by next week or so. So, again still if you have any other questions to post them and I'll try to include them in my review.

**Conclusion**

So, guys that's it for now for this video and if you are still not subscribed to my YouTube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for watching this is Ranjith on how to see you in my next video take care guys you\\n

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjith al and this video we'll be doing the FAQ and the AMA for the Asus zenfone 5 Z and I've already posted this unboxing a few days ago and I have been using this smartphone now for the last 6 days so I'll be answering the most common questions that I was getting from you guys and I've also asked exuse officials about some of the questions that you guys have asked so first let me actually answer the questions what I had posted a sufficient and their answers and quite a few of you have asked me about this one this is regarding is the Asus zenfone what'd he say Phi Z waterproof or splash proof and clearly the issue sufficient said that there is no IP rating for the what you say issue zenfone 5 C so no water resistance but again this is also common with almost all the other smartphones in this range for example even the 1 plus 6 and even on a 10 do not have any IP rating second question a lot of you guys were asking this regarding this screen its has it's having IPS great screen I'll talk about the spring later but many of you asked what about the screen contrast ratio and the issue sufficient said that the contrast ratio is 1500 s21 what does it mean actually it's actually good the its IPS great screen hence the viewing angles are good and it also supports one more thing that is known as the wide gamut and actually yes it does make a difference so the screen quality is good next question is regarding the software update cycle and you guys have asked what about the software update cycle and how many Android OS updates can we expect and it's official said that at least as the iron rod P is confirmed and security updates for the next two years next question is regarding the a su su zenfone 5 regular one Snapdragon 6:36 that was launched in the international markets and many of you have asked me to ask this question will it be launched in India they said that as of now they cannot comment about that one so yeah looks like that might not be launching in India so yeah this looks like gonna get that this one only the asus zenfone 5 C and this is again another question that quite a few of you have asked and this might be for advanced users but anyways I posted this question to Aces official many of you were asking is the camera2 api enabled if not any plants they just said that camera2 api is not enabled as of now my francs addition to asus team with a new software update if you guys can really enable that do enable that if possible and some of you have also asked this question what about FM radio support because that's generally not found on many smart phones that come with the powerful chipset and the official said that this a Zen phone Phi Z actually officially supports FM radio so that's what it is so these were the questions that I pushed it to issues officials now let me quickly jump between the questions that you guys asked and first was from Pawan does it have a physical LED notification light and many of you have actually asked me and yes it does have a physical led notification light in the knotch yes and it works it's a multicolored LED notification light this is by de neige she's asking can a I slow charging at night be disabled in case of fast charging at night and yes quite a few ever also you have also cha asked me about AI charging that is one thing that they mention about it and yes the nice you can definitely disable AI charging and in fact when you get this phone the AI charging is disabled by default so you have to go inside the settings and actually enable that so yeah you have complete control over the AI charging this is by Praveen that support true dual 4G volte fast charging and your thoughts on performance and camera yes it does support true dual 4G volte and yes it also has fast charging and the charge is supplied in the Box is actually a fast charger it's a Qualcomm quick charge 3 and oops just and regarding its performance yes it's running on the snapdragon 845 chipset that's the most powerful chipset that processor and the chipset combination that you can get from Qualcomm so in terms of performance you don't have to worry I'm using the most affordable version that comes with 6 gigabytes of RAM and this one also performs very well in the RAM management has been done very well on this device and it's very snappy device as you can see the moment you touch anything it just loads so performance is also a very good I didn't face any issues with the performance very very snappy I'll talk about the camera because I have called a lot of questions regarding the camera in the later part of the video also this is by Poway she's asking a bunch of questions do you think other manufacturers should do what zenfone has done I mean the second lens which is a wide option not a telephoto yes I feel the telephoto lens actually makes a lot of sense compared to the what do you say wide-angle lens makes a lot more sense than telephoto yeah this one has that and the headphone jack and stereo speakers as well yes I like the fact that this one actually I was always complaining in this price range we don't get smartphones with true what he said dual speakers one is over here one is over here so it gives a true studio what do you say sung and that it actually makes an incredible difference when you're watching youtube videos and stuff so yeah that is good thing what this zenfone 5 Z has and that is the reason in multimedia I would say when I was watching a lot of videos I even watched a movie on this the experience was very immersive so yeah I hope other manufacturers or even oneplus in their future phones implement what you say stereo speaker setup this is my uncle he is asking how is the battery pack up compared to other flagship smartphones specially the one plus six regarding the battery again I would say the battery is good enough as after only I've been using this one as my primary smartphone for the last six days but I've been using it with a single sim that's my primary sim that's a 10 on 4G network most of the time and easily it gives me full what do you say one day of battery life one day means not 15 16 hours but almost 24 hours of battery usage and in terms of screen on time with my regular usage anywhere I can get about 5 to close to about 6 hours of screen on time on this one so battery life is not an issue if you are sort of for regular user also it will easily give you a full day's battery life and if you are sort of a casual user it will give you about one and a half days battery life and if I compare it with the 1 plus 6 I would say the battery life is close to the 1 plus 6 this gets slightly better battery life compared to the 1 plus 6 but not by a very huge margin this is by Akasha she's asking how's the audio quality with and without the earphones and what about a are charging who's the clear winner in audio F as I clearly mentioned this one has that proper dual speaker setup the gear pieces also the speaker and you have a proper speaker here so you get that stereo image so yes definitely it is very good the audio even the doubt to what you say the earphones it's loud and clear and in fact I don't have to keep the volume at maximum level when I am listening to let's say watching YouTube videos and stuff like that so the audio output from the speakers is good and yes obviously the audio output via the headphone jack is also very good it supports high res audio also and also it has DDS support when you plug in your headphones so in terms of audio I would definitely say Asus has done a very good job and yes of in terms of audio it is better than the one plus was six the one plus six in the audio department has not done a very good job this is by Bhargav he's asking can you compare the UI have the zenfone 5 Z with one plus six oxygen OS I'll definitely try to do that because yes even the one plus six has a custom UI and that is known as oxygen voice and this one is having the news n uy now that actually has so many enhancements so let me see if I can actually post dedicated videos around this one later on I'll definitely try to do that if you guys want this is by Vishnu he's asking how about the camera and low-light performance because the hardware is pretty low and the aperture is just what F 1.8 didn't do a pretty good job in fact I would say in low lighting I was very surprised it's actually beating the oneplus X and in fact the reason for that is this one actually does better in low light compared to the oneplus X because the pixels are bigger on the Asus zenfone 5 Z that means it gathers in a lot more light and as you can see here are some of the sample shots that I've taken in low lighting conditions definitely the zenfone 5 Z was doing better in low lighting conditions but again I mean I think so they need to work on the software a little bit because in very low lighting conditions yes as you can see my face was lit up if we compare with the oneplus X my face was very dark but again look at the background the highlights were blown up so they definitely need to work a little bit on the software but in outdoor conditions I would say the one plus six was doing slightly better job in terms of dynamic range and exposure I really feel a soos needs to work a little bit on their software Department the hardware is good but they need to optimize the camera software a little bit this is by gaurav update schedule our goals already mentioned this is regarding the ICAC offered a cash back offer or an instant discount offer and many of you have actually asked this and I confirm this with those officials the ICAC offer that you are getting with the issue zenfone 5 Z is not a cash back but instant discount offers that means if you're using ICICI a credit card or a debit card when you are buying this device you will not be charged thirty thousand for the base variant the billing will directly be twenty seven thousand so instant discount of three thousand rupees so the actual price that you will be charged on a card will be twenty seven thousand this is by Vishnu he's asking how's the gaming performance the gaming performance man is good it has the snapdragon 845 chipset with the most powerful processor gaming chipset the GPU that you have the Adreno 630 the gaming performance is very good I just played two games on that pop G I don't know how to peel a pup G but I did try to play that and had no issues and I also tried dub my favorite game that is asphalt 8 and I had no issues this is by the dude he's asking what if I want to compare the Nokia 7 plus with the Phi Z what would be more value for money shall appreciate your player obviously the issue zenfone 5 C is more value for money the Nokia 7 pluses having the snapdragon 616 chipset this is having the snapdragon 845 chipset which is leaps and bounds better so definitely I would say this is more value for money now if you take into account that the cash back offer you can get this one for as low as 27,000 Department also this will beat the Nokia seven-plus so definitely this is better than the Nokia 7 Plus this is by more T value for money against the oneplus X this is a very tricky question what do you mean by value for money if you talk about the base let's talk about the pricing of these two products the oneplus six base where IAM that comes with 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64gb of storage will be priced at this priced at 35,000 but you get the 2,000 rupees a discount if you are using a Citibank credit card so if you have a Citibank credit card you can get it for 33,000 and the base version of this one is for 30000 but if you use ICS a debit card or even a credit card the price comes down to 27,000 so even after discount the price gap is about 6,000 rupees on this one so yeah it terms of pure or what do you say value for money if you are looking at the best configuration that you can get for the price yes this is better and in one area I would say clearly it is better than the 1 plus 6 is in terms of sound Department it is actually really good in one button one area I feel the oneplus is doing a better job slightly and that might be improved with on this one after software update in camera in outdoor lighting condition as I told you the this one is sometimes having problems with the exposure I hope they can fix it again as you can see this is a sample shot that I shot outdoors with both these phones and I feel the oneplus six dead better so definitely issues needs to work a little bit on the software but if camera is not the highest priority I would say for 6000 rupees less this is yeah pure value for money and this is biker chic he's asking is the battery backup better than the one plus Phi T or the one plus 6 I didn't test it with the 1 plus Phi T I was using the 1 plus 6 so yeah it gets slightly better battery life than the 1 plus but not by a huge margin but yeah I would say slightly better what is AI boost increasing the benchmarks on the zenfone 5 so yes we have an option called AI post in the menu and that sort of pork locks the phone I don't know why there gave that option you don't need to use that option because even as the default setting the phone is very fast but yeah if you use that AI boost it is sort of or clock the processor and yes if you use the AI boost and do the benchmarks you will get better benchmark score but frankly speaking I'm not using the AI boost I am using it in the regular normal mode and regarding the display DC pip3 here's the display quality is very good and supports various modes like the wide gamut and all those things so in terms of display the display quality is actually really really good for example this brings me to the point for a couple of years ago if you look at Samsung there used to always go with this what is a Super AMOLED screen but HTC used to go with good quality IPS grade this is like that a very good quality IPS great screen so in terms of screen quality and the viewing angles color reproduction I have no problems with this one this is by Delta R he's asking inbuilt code recording feature yes it does have inbuilt quad recording feature so you don't have to worry about it and I did test it and it works and this is my ETH does it support dual apps or apps known feature yes it does have a built in functionality of dual apps so you don't have to worry about it there is this actually an app called mobile manager on this one and it has various functions and dewlaps is also they are on this and you can also unlock apps with this one for example I've logged this app and now I have to use my fingerprint to unlock it so yes all those features like dual apps blocking love apps are built-in you don't have to worry this is by Tech 2 and and this is a very interesting question he says where have Asus cut corners on this phone to achieve this kind of pricing I would say the biggest place where I think they have done the cost cutting is in the second camera I like the fact that it's a wide-angle camera not a telephoto lens that's a good thing because with the wide-angle lens as you can see these are two sample short side by side wide-angle you can get a lot more and that can be useful when you're traveling somewhere you can't go back you get a lot more fighter picture but if you look at this wide image and you zoom in the detail is actually not that much and the reason for that is the wide-angle lens is just 8 megapixel shooter and with the wide angle lens it's actually capturing a lot more so in fact it should have been a higher resolution instead of 8-megapixel it should have been a 16 megapixel shooter so that is one area where I felt that a subnet Asus did a little bit of cost-cutting instead of that 8 megapixel wide-angle lens they should have gone with the higher resolution 16 megapixel because to be very frank the wide angle lens performance again if you zoom in and pitch a little bit the detail is simply not there in the wide-angle pictures is that front camera 8 megapixel doing something best or did they compromise with the front-facing camera and yeah these are some of the samples and I get it why are you going with this yes the issues in phone max pros front facing camera was not that good but this one is actually good young here are some of the sample shots that I've taken with the front-facing camera and as you can see it's doing actually a very good job and even it has the portrait mode with the front facing camera and even a few I assume and as you can see the edge direction around the hair is actually really good so the front-facing camera is really good don't have to worry about it and here is a sample video that I shot with the front-facing camera the audio is also recorded so that you can have a look I'm shooting this part of the footage with the front-facing camera of this Asus zenfone by Z and as you can see I'm an outdoor conditions are very overcast day today and the audio that you're hearing is also being captured by its internal microphone and this smartphone are claims to support the electronic image stabilization hence I'm just walking and you guys be a judge and let me know what do you feel about the video recording with its front-facing camera and how was the

the video stabilization it has optical image stabilization also with the main camera and let's also check the focusing speed skies in focus if you just pull out so the focusing is really fast let's also test in 4k how is the stabilization so this sample isn't actually in 4k and again I'm just gonna walk and you guys be a judge and let me know how is the stabilization act 4k so these are the common questions that I was getting regarding this smartphone if you still have any other questions regarding the smartphone do post your questions in the youtube comment section below I'd definitely try to answer them and I'll also be posting the full in depth review for this device in by next week or so so again still if you have any other questions to post them and I'll try to include them in

little bit on the software but if camera is not the highest priority I would say for 6000 rupees less this is yeah pure value for money and this is biker chic he's asking is the battery backup better than the one plus Phi T or the one plus 6 I didn't test it with the 1 plus Phi T I was using the 1 plus 6 so yeah it gets slightly better battery life than the 1 plus but not by a huge margin but yeah I would say slightly better what is AI boost increasing the benchmarks on the zenfone 5 so yes we have an option called AI post in the menu and that sort of pork locks the phone I don't know why there gave that option you don't need to use that option because even as the default setting the phone is very fast but yeah if you use that AI boost it is sort of or clock the processor and yes if you use the AI boost and do the benchmarks you will get better benchmark score but frankly speaking I'm not using the AI boost I am using it in the regular normal mode and regarding the display DC pip3 here's the display quality is very good and supports various modes like the wide gamut and all those things so in terms of display the display quality is actually really really good for example this brings me to the point for a couple of years ago if you look at Samsung there used to always go with this what is a Super AMOLED screen but HTC used to go with good quality IPS grade this is like that a very good quality IPS great screen so in terms of screen quality and the viewing angles color reproduction I have no problems with this one this is by Delta R he's asking inbuilt code recording feature yes it does have inbuilt quad recording feature so you don't have to worry about it and I did test it and it works and this is my ETH does it support dual apps or apps known feature yes it does have a built in functionality of dual apps so you don't have to worry about it there is this actually an app called mobile manager on this one and it has various functions and dewlaps is also they are on this and you can also unlock apps with this one for example I've logged this app and now I have to use my fingerprint to unlock it so yes all those features like dual apps blocking love apps are built-in you don't have to worry this is by Tech 2 and and this is a very interesting question he says where have Asus cut corners on this phone to achieve this kind of pricing I would say the biggest place where I think they have done the cost cutting is in the second camera I like the fact that it's a wide-angle camera not a telephoto lens that's a good thing because with the wide-angle lens as you can see these are two sample short side by side wide-angle you can get a lot more and that can be useful when you're traveling somewhere you can't go back you get a lot more fighter picture but if you look at this wide image and you zoom in the detail is actually not that much and the reason for that is the wide-angle lens is just 8 megapixel shooter and with the wide angle lens it's actually capturing a lot more so in fact it should have been a higher resolution instead of 8-megapixel it should have been a 16 megapixel shooter so that is one area where I felt that a subnet Asus did a little bit of cost-cutting instead of that 8 megapixel wide-angle lens they should have gone with the higher resolution 16 megapixel because to be very frank the wide angle lens performance again if you zoom in and pitch a little bit the detail is simply not there in the wide-angle pictures is that front camera 8 megapixel doing something best or did they compromise with the front-facing camera and yeah these are some of the samples and I get it why are you going with this yes the issues in phone max pros front facing camera was not that good but this one is actually good young here are some of the sample shots that I've taken with the front-facing camera and as you can see it's doing actually a very good job and even it has the portrait mode with the front facing camera and even a few I assume and as you can see the edge direction around the hair is actually really good so the front-facing camera is really good don't have to worry about it and here is a sample video that I shot with the front-facing camera the audio is also recorded so that you can have a look I'm shooting this part of the footage with the front-facing camera of this Asus zenfone by Z and as you can see I'm an outdoor conditions are very overcast day today and the audio that you're hearing is also being captured by its internal microphone and this smartphone are claims to support the electronic image stabilization hence I'm just walking and you guys be a judge and let me know what do you feel about the video recording with its front-facing camera and how was the stabilization and many of you have also asked me how is the video quality that does video stabilisation with this Asus zenfone 5 scene so I just shot these two videos one is at 1080p another one is that four came very quick sample with the rear facing camera of the asu's and forth 5 Z and I've kept this at 1080p can also shoot at 4k I'm just walking as you guys can see to give you an idea how is the video stabilization it has optical image stabilization also with the main camera and let's also check the focusing speed skies in focus if you just pull out so the focusing is really fast let's also test in 4k how is the stabilization so this sample isn't actually in 4k and again I'm just gonna walk and you guys be a judge and let me know how is the stabilization act 4k so these are the common questions that I was getting regarding this smartphone if you still have any other questions regarding the smartphone do post your questions in the youtube comment section below I'd definitely try to answer them and I'll also be posting the full in depth review for this device in by next week or so so again still if you have any other questions to post them and I'll try to include them in my review so guys that's it for now for this video and if you are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for watching this is Ranjith on how to see you in my next video take care guys you\n"
