[@Techtablets]

ASUS Zenfone 5 full review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6HZkIyDl6qVoJI

[@adrianC_]

Latest update has option to hide the notch

[@Techtablets]

Yes got it now! Lucky they added that option!

[@huyho4968]

I have been waiting for your videos about Zenfone 5 2018 for a month. Great to see this ! Can't wait for the full review of Zenfone 5 ( especially battery life ). Cheers !

[@Techtablets]

Good things take time :) Well that and getting hold of one took some time.

[@SorrowOfTheWinds]

All in all is is the camera worth the extra price (in comparison withe the legendary sd636 rn5 ai) ??

[@bungkusi2432]

Detail but not boring!!! Very good. Thx!!

[@rkbrillant5265]

This notch thing needs to go away. :(

[@bartluttels6948]

Rk Brillant if it has an oled display and it looks the same as the border no problem for me

[@slavko321]

It seems like they got it just because apple had it.

[@Kilgore2k12]

the newest update. grant ur wish. :)

[@reggiexp69]

does it bother now one.. seems like how do i pull down my notification with one tumbe now? i slide down from the centre of the screen... and what if yout batter wifi bluetooth icons are on? they are gonna be hidden behind the notch so you wont see it on..my phone galaxy s8 my info icons are till half of my notifications bar.. like does nobody think about that?

[@reggiexp69]

i mean. why u want to hide it.. give me a slim bezel and done...

[@reigns1597]

Please do a full detailed comparison between Zenfone 5 and xioami mi A2(6x) ! Please!. Mainly the camera comparison between it!...

[@evoGage]

Not feeling those super round corners...

[@Techtablets]

Or the notch

[@vasiliychernomorov1115]

Thanks for review! Mi mix 2s have the same sensor as zenfone 5. What do you think how they are compared?

[@maichelsotherio8810]

please compare with rednote 5 and mi6x which one has the best camera thx bro

[@christmg4682]

One stop destination for all your new phones recently launched. Kudos bro.

[@lennoxchen8646]

Chris, should I get the mi notebook pro or the telecast F7? How much difference in performance from day to day use like doc editing, streaming movies and web browsing?

[@Techtablets]

Mi Notebook Pro all the way, it's very quick in everything. Your talking about a Ferrari Vs a VW polo here. But if all you need to do is light tasks then go for the Teclast F7.

[@SodaWolf]

No bell required, already here. Perfect timing lol

[@ediantoeddie1134]

make comparison between zenfone 5 and redmi note 5 china version thanks

[@Techtablets]

I will try to

[@lassekilde7659]

Would be nice, since the price here in Denmark is nearly half of the ZenFone 5. Espacialy camera.

[@kevinpaundra7554]

TechTablets.com and also mi 6x

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

Agreed. Both retail version have comes out, but somehow nobody made the comparison video about its video and picture quality. Considering both make the camera their main selling points and almost similar price range

[@jiegoloco2001]

lol all xiaomi phones just got their ass kicked by this phone theres a lot of comparison videos

[@GiGaChadAF]

I like the notch tbh about the cam..you used the mi 6x too, which one is better amongst the 2?

[@Techtablets]

Mi 6X is better it's cameras.

[@salad7253]

Is zenui 5 still have many bloatware and how about the ui??

[@k8yt575]

How about 5z ? Your thoughts?

[@maxcuajao3626]

what color is that?

[@thecarboy95]

There should be an OTA update that added the option to hide the notch. Will you be taking a look at the Honor 10 soon?

[@rztrzt]

I really don't know why everybody is jumping on this notch bandwagon as it's a really stupid design.

[@Techtablets]

Very stupid, cast a vote like OnePlus did and 80% will vote no notch. Yet the MFG's still go with the notch.

[@aditamaanwar667]

In the latest update, does it have a gesture back, switch app and home like iphone x?

[@joshuagilman8594]

Does it have a notification light? Always on display?

[@vladrazym9955]

Hi! Are you going to review nokia x6 in the nearest future?

[@GeekInLinux]

hi , thank you for the video. Is asus is launching in india ? One more question is if i buy it in US does it work in india and warrenty works in india ? please help me i want to buy it bud. thanks

[@saini22505]

What are your thoughts on op6?

[@Techtablets]

Looks great apart from the notch. I might buy one soon if I can to review.

[@ka1nek]

is the camera is much better than in RN5?

[@utsmanzu0907]

how does the wide angle lens quality in your opinion? is it good in good lit condition? or really that bad even in good light condition? also for the notch i think other reviewer have said that you can choose to hide it, so it will appear black.

[@Techtablets]

The wide lens is useless, horrible quality. Very muddy washed out image quality. The Notch the setting to hide it is there seems it wasn't there in the beginning. An OTA added it.

[@utsmanzu0907]

thanks, in your in depth review, please include a picture comparison between the normal lens and the wide lens. that will be great, i look forward for your in dept review video for this phone :D

[@hunter654ful]

Thank you for reviewing this one. Been waiting for it :)

[@FranciscoLopez-es8fi]

Hello, hope you can answer me, do you think the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is still worth it for around 300 euros?

[@szuler3223]

Is it water and dust proof?

[@omemester6985]

Can you please review the Zenfone Max Pro m1? It's much cheaper and it has the sd636 SOC.

[@motunrayoolusegun]

Dat Mass is this available anywhere except India?

[@omemester6985]

Tuntun AyaTosin As far as I'm aware it's only only available in India and Indonesia atm. But I've heard that it will be released in the philippines in June.

[@AshishRrr]

I enjoy watching your videos. I get peace. 👍👍👍👍

[@vishnuprasad7574]

Cameras very good Top notch

[@gauravralmil9025]

Vishnu Prasad yea it has notch at top.

[@roms3]

Nice pun.

[@mithirhasan5256]

Vishnu Prasad what will be the price in india

[@ashishnayak2988]

Does it has physical notification light?

[@zing7593]

Can you do a review of the one plus 6 soon?

[@androidone4808]

Notch can be hidden like huawei p20/LG g7 phones with the latest firmware. hide notch setting is in the display menu. BUT youtube video when enlarged will still use notch area like iphone X.

[@androidone4808]

true, it is just "black out". but to see "missing stuff". i just tap on it and the status bar extends out. ie like if i want to see if i am using vowifi or volte

[@androidone4808]

what does bother me is that the corners are a bit too round. I actually like the tiny rounded corners on my friends p20 lite more.

[@asipkun]

Can you make side by side comparison between Zenfone 5 and Mi 6x ? I don't know what to buy. I hope you can help me

[@lizerdon]

any chance we could get a nubia red magic review? that phone blew my mind when i've seen it.

[@sumsin]

Hey bro, pls let me know hwz the audio quality in earphones as this has hi-res audio & dtsx.

[@amunra797]

Watching on my notchless smartphone . :D

[@persieprince9345]

Vasile Popa HTC u12 +

[@stefan32480]

Ce telefon ai?

[@amunra797]

Stefan DvLL am un xiaomi redmi 3s prime, vechi de 2 ani și merge perfect

[@coolpras26]

Me too :D

[@devilbarata70]

I really like the videos you make! ... which of the two equipment advises me at camera level photographic quality price relation (xiaomi redmi note 5 vs asus zenfone 5)??? thank you.

[@Techtablets]

Redmi Note 5, much cheaper and even has a better camera at everything but low light.

[@mrwhotheheck5092]

Please do a video on 5Z... No one's done it...

[@bartluttels6948]

Why does every one copy the notch and vertical camera its so awfull😑

[@noykrub]

Hi Friend, I would like you to compare the VDO recording with stabilizer between Zenfone5 vs Redmi note 5 Ai .. Which one is better ? .. Many thanks

[@ashleyeusebius2028]

Does it support project treble

[@d2a1n]

how does wide lens camera compare to lg g7

[@krauzzxgame7159]

You can hide the notch. Search on setting very carefully

[@Techtablets]

It's there now. OTA added it.

[@francescomengoli6994]

I don't mind the notch as long as it makes sense: getting rid of the bottom bezel

[@gsksingh7038]

plz..do 6x camera comparison with zenfone 5

[@gsksingh7038]

plz sir

[@gsksingh7038]

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

Can you made a video comparing its video and still photo results with note 5 pro ai (china)?

[@Techtablets]

In progress coming soon.

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

Thanks so much

[@vr_gamer.814]

This phone or samsung s7 or iPhone SE?

[@OscarRobbing]

Wow that's actually a really decent camera for this price range, along with everything else. Great

[@bash786ali7]

Nice review, will you be reviewing the Asus max pro m1 thank you

[@ferrysetyar]

I just love this phone, would be my next phone cause I'm not super rich and the price is much cheaper in my country compare to others. This phone is just fit with me.

[@hunter654ful]

Ferry Setya R still 349€/$ would be fair enough

[@ferrysetyar]

max strauß 300$ in my country 🖒

[@hunter654ful]

Ferry Setya R wow that would be actually a "steal" in my region. May I ask where you are from? Maybe it's possible to import it from there :D

[@ferrysetyar]

max strauß ahahaha yes it is much cheaper from another country amd I don't why, maybe because it is made by my country itself, in here we have the factory, I'm from Indonesia, I don't think that you could imported from here, the shipping would be expensive too

[@MichaelGGarry]

Its "cheap" here in Singapore too. Must be a SE Asia thing.

[@anishekanand381]

Zenfone max pro m1 review?

[@sharikhussain8902]

Do it support Q.C 3.0?

[@CyrusEnyx]

[@asadnadeem2067]

TechTablets.com thanks

[@JulioSilva-nv4tj]

[@mickeyg.3979]

Props for the great and comprehensive review of the camera. :)

[@kailashks901]

Great detailed video as always :D .. Can u elaborate more on the AI features they were boasting about including adaptive battery management & AI scene detection.

[@akashdhole7585]

When Asua zenfone 5 will be launch in India .....???

[@steelydanfan100]

I purchased my Asus Zenfone 5Z Friday, September 14th. The notch CAN be hidden ! I don't mind it, but I think you should be aware of it since you went on and on about the "notch." Good video overall.

[@Sedp23]

Does it have quick charge 3.0 of 4.0?

[@androidone4808]

qc 2.0 but u have to use own quichlk charger. supply one is only 5v 2A

[@rexgaces6964]

very nice vid as always. please compare zen5 and mi max 2 size and camera comparison to note 5 and mix 2 not 2s because in my country zen5 and mix2 is priced the same I just want to know thanks.

[@zvonimirovich]

Quick poll.... Mi 6x or ZenFone 5?? I'm leaning towards Mi 6x

[@Techtablets]

My choice of those two would be the Mi 6X

[@tymek4238]

Is it better than s7 edge?

[@ggkameleon1]

Hi ! Thank you for the video 😊 What do you think the Zenfone 5 is better than the Xiaomi Note 5 ? I'm French and now can buy Xiaomi a shop are open yesterday ☺️. The mistake of Note 5 for me it's too big not enough compact. But for photos/videos the Asus is better ? Thank's

[@tender0828]

Zenfone Max Pro review?

[@matthewchua4190]

Should I swap my Mi Mix 2 to Asus Zenfone 5?

[@Techtablets]

I wouldn't :)

[@krauzzxgame7159]

Matthew Jhenry Chua wait for the Mi 8. It will launch at 31st May

[@matthewchua4190]

Hengki Pernanda S How much is the cost?

[@jiegoloco2001]

[@mohdhelmi8038]

When ..to ..update ... Android P...???

[@LordKisame16]

I was waiting for This review :D thank you

[@whyipodtouch]

nice! lookin foward to the review!

[@Ninja-pc3gd]

Can you compare this Zenfone 5 to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 China variant? I'am really having a hard decisions which one of these 2 phones I would buy.

[@Techtablets]

I will, but the answer is easy owning both. Get the Redmi Note 5, save about $150 and have better battery life and camera in everything but low light. You really gain nothing with the ZenFone, only a better build and slightly faster in benchmarks.

[@Ninja-pc3gd]

Thank you so much sir! You really help me a lot. I will then buy the Redmi Note 5.

[@MasterKoala777]

I had the same question, so thanks 😄 And great vid as always.

[@Unan1mouz]

TechTablets.com Please do a camera comparison between the two.

[@lumar_music]

You changed the mic? Too much echo..

[@Techtablets]

No changes not sure what happened.

[@lumar_music]

TechTablets.com I changed the rom, and reverb was on. My bad. 😁

[@fandihayu]

Camera versus mi6x or redmi note 5 please

[@coolpras26]

Not sure why manufacturers can't make a perfect all round phone. Oh well, maybe it's the S9+ currently but exorbitantly priced. :P Other than that, none really. The *Xiaomi Mi 8* being an excellent phone with an excellent camera, but 1) Image Stabilization is very poor despite the so called 4 axis OIS 2) Front cam does not have any stabilization 3) Doesn't come with earphones 4) Would be nice for it to have 4k 60fps, but oh well *OnePlus 6* being extremely popular but 1) I would say it's a nice 'all rounder' but a master of none 2) Nice cameras, but not the best. Definitely not as good or sharp as Mi 8. 2nd camera on the rear is pretty useless as it's not a tele one but only there for 'depth'. Although the stabilization in video is damn good. 3) Again doesn't come with earphones. And now we have *Asus Zenfone 5z* (not 5, but 5z) - 5 is the mid ranger, 5z is their 'flagship' with Snapdragon 845 chipset. 1) It has a microsd card slot unlike the above two. 2) Dual speakers unlike the above two 3) Actually comes with earphones, unlike the above two 4) But the problem? Camera is good, BUT quite inconsistent. Having a wide angle camera is nice, but it's not that good in quality. Front camera is nice, although overexposes always. All 3 cameras don't have that good low light performance. All 3 of them 'flagship' killers with Snapdragon 845 and cost much less than flagships from LG, Samsung, HTC and even Huawei now(Although the P20 pro has killer Leica cameras & is the highest rated phone camera on DXOmark) Which would would you go for out of the above 3? OnePlus6/Mi 8/Zenfone 5z ?

[@alfaindomart1766]

Look nice but the price is too high imo. Please compare the camera performance with other phones.

[@xSnowyCatx]

10:06 4 axis iso? :3 or ois ^_^ Vera looking good again

[@worththewatch1517]

My cousin had an asus zenfone and was happy with it

[@designanthology12]

Awesome vid! Pls create midrange shoot out

[@thenxttech9322]

Compare it's camera with xiaomi mi 6x

[@AK-hh9jn]

Won't you review Nokia X6? And please compare Zenfone 5 with Mi 6X also.

[@Techtablets]

Nokia X6 I'm not sure. Only on JD.com

[@AK-hh9jn]

TechTablets.com So can you please compare its camera with Mi 6X and Redmi Note 5 Chinese?

[@sushantsingh9057]

You deserve more views !

[@CuriousTinkering]

Nice OnePlus 6 review Or is it an LG 7 Thin Q review No? Huawei P20 then? No? No??

[@zmajBH]

I always enjoy your video and honest thoughts about the product you are reviewing. Let us just hope that noch-trend is temporarily and people will avoid buying the notch phones. I'm becoming allergic to the notch and can't stand it anymore.

[@Altalus]

I have to say it, but man are you living in a beautiful place.

[@Inocentum]

Great video again !

[@manuts7365]

How much worth in inda for Asus zenfone 5?

[@Abhi-yi1pf]

In depth camera review please.. specially an in depth video performance of the phone..

[@sadahussain885]

Very good review bro

[@Inocentum]

there is no B20 band and no unlocked bootloader ..

[@macy5571]

Compare it's camera from mi 6x please.

[@devonhutchings6900]

*If i'm not wrong galaxy s4 had nfc too :'D so what about the hype?*

[@webby189402194134]

Camera is supposed to be on par with the pixel 1. Keen to see the results

[@Techtablets]

It's not been overhyped. Dxo ratings are bought now to.

[@marufhasan8079]

Please review Nokia X6 if possible ☺

[@gunsmaker777]
