ASUS Zenfone 5Q Review (Zenfone 5 Lite/Zenfone 5 Selfie)

This is our ASUS Zenfone 5Q Review!
The Zenfone 5 Lite as it is called in other countries is a beautifully designed midrange option. It offers a lot of things - a tall screen, a notch-free design that looks and feels more premium than other phones in this price point, a more than capable processor, and a quad-camera system that has portrait modes and wide-angled cameras on both sides. But is it your GadgetMatch?

Still using asus selfie...3yrs now..its wow..yes its incredible..Lv it...no hickup at all

[@steveo3336]

Love that you are heavily focused on Asus phones! I've always been more of a midrange type of guy and this channel is my go to for honest and fair reviews! Keep it up!!!!

[@qianxinsoong]

Man, josh should really be a tv show moderator or emcee. His voice and pronunciation is extremely soothing and rare!

[@jobeleugenio5239]

Ang galing nito mag english hahaha. Kaka proud bilang pinoy . Pinaka magaling na pinoy na nag rereview na pang international.

[@dilionsmith530]

This is a awesome review! I was looking to buy a Asus phone for my girlfriend and I came along this review of it. I currently have the Zenfone 4 which is amazing but this 5Q is even better.

[@Ton_D_Chicken]

I can always forgive the shortcomings of most phones including this one... Simple design, reliable specs, great screen (notch free... Yes!!!), the OS is a bit outdated but hey... Well known brand... Announced update... I am good with that. The only thing now that bothers me is the micro usb... 2018... The zenfone 3 had the type C back then... The zenfone 5 and 5z both has type C, why the 5Q doesn't have one is... A tad bit confusing... Micro usb is fine and all but... I think type C would've made this phone even better... That's just me though.

[@Chase1297]

Don't forget fast charge!

[@pashaboss6]

100% same thinking..idk man why did they cheap out on the usb

[@mybabyBella04]

Great honest review. Nice job, Gadgetmatch

[@bprabawabr]

Dude, I just found your channel and I'm already liking it! One thing that bothered me is that you gave a very vague estimate on the battery life.. Probably worth looking into doing either a benchmark or your own tests...

[@gadgetmatch]

Point taken and we will work one better estimates going forward.

[@pashaboss6]

So this is better than nova 2i (mate 10lite )right?

[@Shuuzu03]

Still waiting for Zenfone 5 and 5z review.. Zenfone 5Q is good for a budget midrange-ish price range.

[@dexterperoso3385]

I will buy this phone this Coming December. Rather than Vivo V9. Snapdragon 626 in high Price range?? Snapdragon 630 in lower price range. Nice Review po. I subccride! :) :)

[@christianjeremycalimlim8655]

Asus Zenfone 5 attracts a lot of screen scratches without a screen protector -_- totally learned my lesson

[@SelectStart89]

Is there na EIS when shooting videos? How about bokeh and portrait mode are they present on both front and back cam?Thanks

[@jbschoice5770]

Thanks for your honest review 😊

[@JustLimAnD]

Love your channel, and especially the way you talk, Michael! Sounds like you should be on a pro TV news channel! Anyway, would like to know about the video recording quality of this phone, especially the front facing camera for vlogging. How's the 1080p filming of the front cameras? Does the waxy beauty mode also affect video as bad as you said it does photos? There is also electronic image stabilization written in the specs, does this work with selfie video recording? Cheers!

[@marlonbayaras2850]

what glass protection does it have? is it equiped with gorilla glass?

[@KevinRuizDaker]

Does this phone have dual speakers? One at the top and one at the bottom (next to the charging port)?

[@luwijimiguel]

Can't wait for the nokia 7+ full review! Do you know when will it be available in the Philippines?

[@brigganthewolf1461]

Watching this with my Zenfone 5Q ;-) It's quite a breeze and a great upgrade coming from a decaying, ancient Nvidia shield K1!

[@toujoursserein1779]

Would you go for "Chinese Brands" or go for samsung? For entry level and midrange phones? The one who will last longer and many specs?

[@RAIKON80]

how is the quality of the display? it looks to have a color shift problem. losing light also. I'm waiting for the asus zenfone 5z... but in most of the videos I've seen it looks to have the same problem.

[@anjpamorada]

My issue with Zenfone is the camera quality deteriorated over time :(

[@jerryprasetyo9653]

Hi, how about multitasking ability, do this 5Q fast in change 3-5 application in one time?

[@KS22318]

can you compare this with the nova 3e? when it get released

[@papaburger]

thanks for the review ! How to find out the planned release date of Oreo update for this phone ?

[@threathy]

Are they able to shot bokeh picture on both rear & front camera? If yes how good is the result?

[@AbbyRCToys]

@GadgetMatch Could you please provide a camera detailed review with photos and vidoes and whether it has EIS/OIS or not

[@drborja86]

Does this phone have a portrait mode in both two, rear and front cameras?

[@yuutachibana3848]

Which is better when it comes to camera? I know the 5Q has bigger mp front and back. But I seriously want to know which one has an excellent camera performance? 5 or 5Q? :)

[@jeyrregalario4109]

Hoping you to have a review about the new released HUAWEI NOVA 3E😊 Godbless and more power to your page.😊😊

[@lololololo7725]

watching this in my zenfone 5q!! this is better than the zenfone 5 2018, I downgraded my unit but its much better than the zenfone 5.

[@BrenEstrito]

Can you pls confirm what glass protection does 5q has?

[@xavierprz]

How good is the quality for video calls?

[@msarschannel2410]

Josh, Comparison video of asus zen 5q and samsung a8 please? Both have quac cameras. Which one performs better? Thanks

[@riptonize6989]

Ms. Ar 's Channel of course its the a8 higher processor

[@yeokc8757]

Zenfone 5 is advertising its OES, IES at this price point isn't it. Should've shown some videos taken with it.

[@ivymaemaurillo8004]

Is zenfone 5q automaticaly stop when it turns 100% battery full? Thank you for the response.

[@chimmylights7323]

Can you compare which is better, this versus vivo V9

[@zachhanson6575]

There's isn't many wide angle lens smartphones, LG is one of them. Glad Asus included that

[@pashaboss6]

would you rather choose this or p20lite ????please help

[@ChristGS]

Wew you're so fast when reviewing. You just released your Hands On 5 days ago.. 😃

[@gadgetmatch]

Yep. Global embargo lifted today. We’ve had the phone for a while now, but could only release it today.

[@ChristGS]

GadgetMatch Oh.. so that's why. Btw great video as always. 😍

[@noeadrias4586]

Hi GadgetMatch Team, I am planning to buy new phone... Either Honor 8X or Asus Zenfone 5Q. Which is the best phone between the 2 phone? Any suggestion? I have tried browsing a lot of review but still confuse me in choosing the phone. Any feedback will be helpful?

[@capadzcabrera]

Portrait mode on all cameras? That's pretty good. How the pro mode? Do you have full control of all the settings?

[@andyng5892]

Huawei nova 2i or asus 5Q for camera comparison

[@ScribbledRiddles]

Love your videos, Josh.

[@aguss.3944]

Which is better with Oppo F7 anyway?

[@MarcoR6]

Another great one! Keep them coming!

[@gadgetmatch]

We’ve got a lot more coming in the next few days.

[@brazilrio]

Is it the ZC600KL?

[@jesbautista8755]

Is it available in the phil already ?

[@lovethesarms]

[@simonjuliusgozum781]

[@doodsokais8059]

Nice review! Anu po ang tittle ng music sa video nato?thanks!

[@francoroa7317]

[@gadgetmatch]

[@johncruz1168]

i like your honest and sincerw reviews. ☺ pls make a review on 4 max lite. 😅

[@jmehtq2765]

Can u pls do a full Review on Zenfone 5z?

[@gadgetmatch]

Hopefully we get our hands on a review unit soon. :)

[@jmehtq2765]

Thanks for quick rply Will wait for that video

[@DanielLimSantoso]

It would've been great if they used the Snapdragon 636.. With the AI they have for the Zenfone 5 & 5z and hopefully it has 4k Video Camera and most probably the Gyro EIS 1080 video capture.. Then probably there won't be any much more complaints..

[@m.a.cmixaddaclub3072]

Love you brother from india....

[@notrom-thesilencer7993]

finally the review i've been waiting for, well done !!

[@gadgetmatch]

Thank you so much.

[@kunaltilanthe5098]

Isha Rodriguez....love ur smile...keep smiling

[@kushagrapithadiya320]

2:22 and 2:51, you can see Hair and Fingers that are not properly rendered by Bokeh effect. Did you try Google's Potrait mode APK installation? If not, test and let us know. Cheers..!!

[@su6oi]

Would you prefer this over the Moto g6

[@clairewright7584]

Does this phone work for metro pcs?

[@cupsez24]

Awesome photo no AI I love it

[@skyMcWeeds]

Hey Michael, a little off topic question but... do you think having Face Detection and FP scanner is better? Having more options to unlock the phone or... Just have the Face Detection to unlock the phone? I asked this before for iPhone X owners and they said Face Detection is the only one they'll ever need, and for phones that have both Face Detection and FP scanner are just a waste and will lead to confusion to the user. I don't get the whole confusion thing, as phones have always had multiple ways to unlock

[@gadgetmatch]

When you live in the cold regions on the world where you need gloves during the winter time, Face Detection is a nice thing to have.

[@roncastro212]

It can be used with a damp finger

[@Phelaidar]

Help! Are the cameras any better or similar to the Zenfone 5?

[@prinz9585]

Zenfone 5 is way better.

[@terryinfante477]

Please make a review of the asus zenfone 5 and the vivo v9

[@c.jhminga2483]

[@janrenzobesa4560]

Please do a comparison with the Huawei Nova 2i. :)
