ASUS Zenfone 5 / 5Z hands-on: Android iPhone X clone

[@whackcar]

0:55 - It has a headphone jack which instantly makes it better than iPhone X. :p

[@sefer-nv6cn]

Waqar Zahid You do realize that they made the iPhone X without the headphone jack so you would buy their headphones right? They wanna make it hard for users to use headphones other than what they make.

[@scccythe]

It’s an android so it’s automatically better, performance-wise.

[@edisonjada2936]

S H Y R A no not yet (i am an android user as well), the A11 bio chip is still better than all android phones in terms of optimization. But, the multitasking will always be better on android since it has a lot more ram.

[@AdrianCasillas1109]

It looks almost identical but somehow looks way better than the iPhone X.

[@GWT1m0]

Thinner side bezels

[@leonro]

It has a headphone jack, so it's pretty much better all around. I'm wondering if there's water resistance, wireless charging and stereo speakers.

[@mandalorian7044]

Slippy Toad stereo speaker = yes.

[@LuluAndSasha2023]

That bottom bezel? Yuck. iPhone X has much better design.

[@novax4271]

Yeah... Thinner side bezles and the notch is smaller

[@cooliipie]

Clones are now better then the real thing 😂😂😂😂

[@lobstershrimp]

Triggered Feminist Exactly, sheep are mad because Asus just schooled their beloved Apple on how possible it was to make the iPhone X with a headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, USB TYPE-C and it even blackens the notch automatically where in the X you need a special software to do it. Did I mention the price difference? Even the SD845 version will be much cheaper. I'll get it just to troll Apple users LMAO!

[@cooliipie]

Johnny Tang Honestly once you get to the price difference it's a no brainier. It really is ridiculous. All for what? Imessage?? Google get on it!

[@danieltrejo937]

Johnny Tang hahaha mad? iPhone users are making fun of android users because this kind of phones, they don’t care about money or specs, they will just laugh when they see someone using this iPhone clone from a “big brand” like Asus

[@lobstershrimp]

Daniel Trejo Nah, I'm the one laughing when iPhone user says "I'm running out of storage" or "wait, let me open Bluetooth settings cause I don't have NFC. Even better, "the audio from the video I recorded is only playing on one side..." yeah, one mic = mono audio. "I just spent 500 bucks!" "Did you get a new phone?" "No, just replaced the cracked glass" LMAO!

[@danieltrejo937]

Johnny Tang good for you that those things make you laugh, I’ve seen that storage thing with more android users than iPhone users, same thing with cracked screens, (i don’t know how people always break their phones), it’s kinda sad how android has gotten to the point that they really have to copy iPhone to this extreme, even Samsung made their own animojis, that’s just pathetic and sad

[@kartikaykumar]

Looks even better than the iPhone x. If you have to copy ,copy like you own it. Asus just did that.

[@notavinav]

It looks well crafted, symmetrical everywhere, which i personally prefer

[@rajdeeproy6650]

iphone is using 18:9.. asus gone for 19:9 so when you are watching any videos or playing any games the phone will put it automatically on the 18:9...so you can enjoy full view of 18:9... That's why they gone for 19:9

[@justinvalentin8983]

iPhone is actually at 19.5:9…but you had the rest right.

[@velotech610]

Surprisingly I actually don't mind that notch, and I usually hate them with passion

[@leeabrahams9889]

Is the notch a speaker as well? Not just for calls but a loud speaker? I'm hoping you get stereo audio rather than just a bottom facing speaker.

[@filip1880]

It looks like a iphone x ripoff but somehow more appealing than the X

[@SaladSomeone]

filip pupovac because of the price

[@rohangupta8186]

Looks ridiculously beautiful!!

[@arqcarlos13]

I thought Asus had some self respect

[@mikldude9376]

Carlos 13 well , given the prices apple charges for the X , you could probably ask apple the same question .

[@arqcarlos13]

mikldude no doubt but I'll save my words about them. Rocking Nokia for 14 years.

[@auralynnemallari5462]

I've read that the reason they adapted the "notch" was for the implementation of Android P, which Google said will integrate the notch in its design (it will depend if the phone has a notch or not)

[@jarenong]

U thought wrong

[@sefer-nv6cn]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it seems.

[@SuperSwedishStar]

Well atleast they have a fingerprint sensor and a 3.5 mm. headset port, right iPhone X ?

[@dantevergil3886]

SuperSwedishStar agreed

[@thetechpile6794]

RIP IPHONE X

[@tavarishamilton]

The Tech Pile yea they said the same thing when the pixel came out. What did it sell???? 4 mill? Trash! iPhone is king that’s why android makers have no shame in copying it.

[@tricksalot2]

But theyre playing 2nd fiddle to samsung despite the note 7 fiasco.

[@leebeeskee]

The Tech Pile can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Seems sarcastic...

[@luischavez60]

Tavaris Hamilton yet apple is not going to sell more iphone x because sales were low

[@MellFromYouTube]

Apple iPhone X out sold every phone released in 2018 despite being released in November. R.I.P android

[@kipnugget3838]

Maybe this gonna be my next phone, with great specs and much cheaper then the S9 or Iphone with less bezels also. Damn this Asus phone is looking good!

[@techtonsofphone4849]

It's like a mid point between the essential and iPhone X

[@Koffiato]

Tech Tonsofphone And software is right at the middle of Samsung and LG.

[@Un4gettablewolf]

Lmfao.. I love how it looks but I won't be caught dead walking around with a iPhone wannabe

[@trackno.1875]

jared williams You must have a very sad life that you care what people think about which phone you're using

[@jianfeishao]

Spartan le I think everyone cares at least a little..

[@trackno.1875]

Jianfei i don't, it's my money i buy whatever the hell i wanna with it, a "popular" phone that doesn't meet my needs is useless for me

[@Un4gettablewolf]

i don't care what people think, I care what I think lol.. and what I think is it's a knock off iPhone.. and to say that is like saying you won't mind walking around with a Japanese cloned fake iPhone. like the ones you see on youtubers videos that they buy for less then a $100 lol

[@Un4gettablewolf]

Spartan le

[@Claire_Obscure]

Hello thanks for your video. Can you tell me the zenfone 5 SAR (for europe if it's possible), please ? Nothing on the Asus' website... thanks by advance

[@zckom]

Shame on you, Asus. You've lost your originality. I miss those days when I was proudly to say I am using the padfone series. They were so unique back then.

[@benjmiester]

Of course, but knocking off a knockoff doesn't make Asus any better. If anything, they're both bottom of the barrel cheap cloners.

[@zckom]

Mizhe T Someone is a thief, does that mean that you have to be too? The problem is they work really hard to copy. They are successful till date. No innovation AT ALL. You may like it but sorry to say, I don't.

[@benjmiester]

I guess you didn't understand what I said. "knocking off a knockoff doesn't make Asus any better".

[@zckom]

Beastly G, my dear, I was answering to another person, not you.

[@lobstershrimp]

Chu Zhen Mok I'm actually glad Asus did this, shows Apple what the iPhone X could and should've been for the price they charge. Headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, memory card slot, USB Type-C and it automatically blackens the notch when playing videos.

[@vamsikrishna4549]

Does the phone support indian LTE bands? I would love to have one if it really does

[@susmitadeka464]

which looks more premium and classy , black or white???

[@rowanstuut2174]

I will may buy this phone cause of his high end design. I love it❤ yes an cheap copy of the Iphone X. But it looks beautiful

[@MiracleWarriors]

All the screens that Samsung made but Apple did not use, because iPhone X Did not sell that well,are now getting a good use by Asus.

[@derLenno]

MiracleWarriors it has an IPS screen whereas the iPhone rocks an OLED...

[@SaladSomeone]

Lennart Glamann the first iPhone with an oled screen lul, isheeps are so behind

[@derLenno]

abad saby Yup they took too long. I've been enjoying it since the Galaxy S3 days, probably even on my Galaxy S, but I don't know that for sure.

[@أحمدحميدان-ي4ر]

Fun fact: the android "copy" looks better than the real thing 😂

[@SaladSomeone]

أحمد حميدان tru

[@RohanThakur__]

which date zenfone 5 released and what his Price in India or usa

[@rajatverma360]

I own Asus Zenfone 5Z.

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

I really wanted to import the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, but this is a strong alternative without the hassles!

[@MarioCola]

You can do the same thing with or without AI, the real difference is that AI learn from you and your habits and provides maybe the same services, but with a priceless custom user experience that only you will have using those services.

[@ssnpower1]

If LG G6 and IPhone X had a baby, this would be it. 😂

[@chris-p-bacon1053]

Whats the price?coz i am hating it for coping iphone?

[@TheAhmed232323]

why is everyone criticizing the apple-like notch treating it as a turn off , to me its just like the placement of fingerprint sensor or camera or the microphone u're saying all phones are copycats so silly its just a feature android users may like to have and Asus is generously providing it

[@srinivasteja291]

This design looks far better than ×

[@OrangeRock]

srinivasteja Fanboy much?

[@nazirhas]

Zen ui getting better

[@Kyubi2345]

Look at that headphone jack XD. Still fits!

[@foho100]

Not a bad phone. If the bottom bezel was as thin as the side ones it would've been even better, but it has smaller notch so it's Ok.

[@CaptainBlitz]

new iphone 11 looks great

[@mickyeverton]

Good looking Mobile, Peace from London. 👍👍

[@ashishshrestha3270]

Waoh finally a wide angle camera good job asus.

[@dennisnavarro9721]

so it is copying apple by adding glass to the back? I find a great well specd and priced phone

[@rohangupta8186]

The rear side of the phone is the best i have ever seen

[@shaniousdavis]

Will it launch in India?

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

Love it! Headphone jack!

[@محمدسلامي-خ2ر]

Is it against water and dust?

[@vuduclong1021]

look like a iphone X plus in real life Nice choice and wise idea

[@Toblerown_ch]

Asus did this for people who cannot afford the X

[@goku6986]

Please make a review video on Asus Zenfone 5

[@amybella]

Just so you know, its not an iPhone X clone, its more like the iPhone X copied the Essential Phone Notch (even they executed the notch properly), again ANDROID DID IT FIRST! Sick of these reviewers 0:21 think that Apple made everything first, when Android had all these way before Apple.

[@siri-arhworasetchai729]

I think more beautiful than X

[@許樂高]

In my opinion... lots of people keep saying that the 5z copy iphonex ,however the fact is ASUS actually create a much powerful Android phone and a better appearance than apple. Sometimes, recreation inspires people.

[@creativeplanet2820]

At least the Moto X5 looks different & unique from the rear

[@scccythe]

I don’t personally like iPhone X’s look, but this one is pretty.

[@Life_Is_Adventuree]

Finally new design icon in notification bar,quite late since had no longer interest in Asus phone after it well known for goldy price and battery drainer..

[@FluffyBunnyCat]

I might switch. It’s a maybe but eh it looks cool.

[@69Solo]

2 questions? IR Blaster? Bloatware?

[@riptonize6989]

69 Solo I heard there is no bloat ware any more

[@69Solo]

Unbelievable that Asus comes without bloatware. When I had purchased their first phone, it felt like Asus had installed the entire playstore in their device.

[@ErdnußRiegel6969]

69 Solo it's uses stock android so no bloatware yeah i was blown away too I might buy a asus graphics card next year because of this

[@joyjeetpaul2218]

Asus .... U too ?!

[@shaikhheena8103]

What is the price of zenfone 5?

[@allanjbara2382]

That Asus launcher 😍😍😍

[@MohdFaisal-ml9qs]

Damn that's look beautiful

[@jayjohnx]

Well it has a headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, and its cheap, hell am gonna buy it 😎

[@NeoDaOne]

damn the notch...even if its 19:9, its still there...I want nothing but screen otherwise keep the bezels...

[@imanmujahid3159]

What r the specs? Price?

[@AbzAden]

I'm sure it's rocking a snapdragon 845?

[@johnk-jj8gp]

Does anyone face battery drain issues if so how to solve it plz do help and the latest update shows it support shooting RAW images but there is no option such as RAW where do we find it or activate it????

[@burakacar2854]

Looks really good but iphone's notch looks better with longer size

[@chinmaygharat6797]

Are bhai india me kab launch hoga ye mobile

[@troyharris279]

The design just breaks my heart

[@mediafootball917]

In other words better than the ipone ex.

[@Kalinforrinco]

"The display, despite that notch, looks great". That has to be one of the biggest oxymorons EVER. No display with a notch looks good, because there is a notch covering it away.

[@channel-rc1gd]

It doesn't get LTE on T-Mobile. Wait for US version.

[@Dwayne3007]

Apple lawyers prepping up.... Looool

[@n.u1232]

Not very subtle Asus.... Aye 😂😂

[@danishmultichannel]

waiting so see what the huawei p20 looks like but otherwise getting this one so I can fool my friends and say I got an iPhone X haha

[@我行我攝]

It looks great!

[@davidmiller6586]

Oneplus 5T Killer???

[@AtlanticPicture]

I had no prob with Asus before (mainly used their comp stuff anyways), but I wouldn't touch that thing if it would be free. The Zoom 3 was already a copy but this is just pathetic. SHAME ON YOU ASUS! Why do you even have a "design" team??

[@divyansh14feb]

I mean i dont like iPhone but this look way mature design the Iphone 10 and software part also look nice

[@lobstershrimp]

divyanshu Exactly, sheep are mad because Asus just schooled their beloved Apple on how possible it was to make the iPhone X with a headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, USB TYPE-C and it even blackens the notch automatically where in the X you need a special software to do it. Did I mention the price difference? Even the SD845 version will be much cheaper. I'll get it just to troll Apple users LMAO!

[@EveryOneInterested]

I think no IP67 OR IP68 ! Then waste to purchase. Moto x5 is coming in this model.. with all features sir

[@naracambodia]

I love this one bc i love Android

[@hell1972]

iphone x is essential phone clone????

[@arifkurniawan5042]

RIP iphone x.. good job Asus.. u really success kill the fruit 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂

[@Tigerex966]

essential was first with the notch not apple.

[@yushuot]

Tigerex966 next up, we have Sharp. 😂

[@patrickndojimembughuni3166]

Despite the copied design, i think this would be one of the best sub 500 dollar phones for 2018

[@thebantidey]

Asus clearly say that the design is inspired by essential phone not iphone x

[@ash2613]

I am dieing to get the phone , when is it going to be released in Saudi Arabia

[@jef8278]

don't u guys have money over there? yo can just get a custom phone can't you?

[@ash2613]

Mmmm,may be

[@SaladSomeone]

1st Acc but they dont speak english very well so they cant make custom phones lol, of all the people i know that Are from Saudi Arabia 1 can talk english, PS: most of the money in ksa is with the big boys lul normal people are just... Normal

[@jef8278]

suppose so.

[@ash2613]

abad saby , bro I am not from Saudi Arabia,ok .I am from India settled out here

[@sheikhsuleiman9208]

When a clone is more beautiful than original 🤣🤣🤣

[@Keiah2Technical]

I want that phone

[@SMB026]

Asus Zenfone 5z... snapdragon 845...8gb ram?? flagship specs for only aroun 500 euros?? there's not any reason to buy S9 or any other expensive flagships..

[@toby-di2tf]

where can i get this?

[@spaceteapot]

funny part is, most of the bezels are thinner on the zenfone than the X

[@LoviNqHaTrEd]

I guess you can say that's a "top-notch" replica.

[@ArvinTorrente]

The notch isn't first seen in apple try searching for 'essential phone'

[@kherimacksood634]

So fascinating

[@vikyathbanda1715]

What is the price of asus zenfone 5

[@malizbabelz2310]

Vikyath Banda EU 480 euros

[@happy030]

Look even better than Apple phone !!!! (-; Because of the notch could say inpsire by IphoneX ....AND because of the Bezel you could say INSPIRED by GALAXY S8, S9....But it is neither iphone nor GALAXY S9...the placement of the camera is located like apple and the above notch-- What makes it look like a GALAXY S9 phone are: The Bezelles design- the headphone jack - the fingerprint and so on !

[@nicolasstephenursal8089]

How much?

[@tokyo734]

Looking Much Better Than Iphone X

[@roms3]

Looks better than the iPhone X.

[@noobraider99]

its an independent phone not a copy

[@whyux3472]

Sharp was the ones who invented the phone notch. Not Apple. Apple just copied, for a website about android phones you guys really missed the ball on this one. You should do more research as this phone looks a lot like the Sharp Aquos S3 than the iPhone X.

[@thomasstamfordraffles5255]

After beat up by samsung galaxy s9, now this...???? Iphone x should be in funeral soon

[@lobstershrimp]

rizal richiest Exactly, sheep are mad because Asus just schooled their beloved Apple on how possible it was to make the iPhone X with a headphone jack, fingerprint scanner, USB TYPE-C and it even blackens the notch automatically where in the X you need a special software to do it. Did I mention the price difference? Even the SD845 version will be much cheaper. I'll get it just to troll Apple users LMAO!

[@thomasstamfordraffles5255]

Johnny Tang and that's shows us how stupid iphone user or buyer

[@yongkysiaw6597]

Thank god they updated their UI cause the previous UI looks hideous.
