2015 has been a great year for Asus since their first 4GB RAM Asus Zenfone 2 entered the smartphone market. However, Asus is not just about Zenfone 2. Here are other Top Asus smartphones and their inspiring secrets
Best Asus smartphones 2015
1. Best for selfie: Asus Zenfone Selfie
The name has said it all. Asus Zenfone Selfie is the device aimed at selfie lovers. Featuring dual 13MP, the smartphone is very favorable in terms of capturing fun moments and keeping your memories alive. Asus Zenfone Selfie also comes with Dual SIM and Dual LTE, allowing users to connect and share their pictures any time they would like!
ASUS has been quite for a while now. It is not that they are not working on any new project or satisfied with what they achieved by far. Recent reports have it said that, Asus just officially released a bootloader unlock tool for their Zenfone 2 variants. With this tool, Android users can freely custom the ROMs on their devices the way they would like to.
Fore-WARNING: this Bootloader unlock is not for beginners and amateurs as it can harm your device and ASUS will not be in charge of any loss. Please read carefully upon any attempt.
So, let’s get straight to the main point. The Taiwanese smartphone OEM is now providing interested users with a toolkit to unlock their bootloader. This will make things much easier for interested Zenfone 2 users. If you want to tinker your smartphone, and confident enough to take the risk, keep on reading.
The first requirement is to update your Zenfone 2 to the latest software version. Then, you can download, install and run the “Unlock Device App” and adjust your mobile to whatever you want. However, ASUS clearly warns users that, by downloading the unlock, you accepted to change the way your device receive updates and warranty from the company. To be frank, you will lose the original software (permanently), and no future ASUS updates will automatically reach your ID.
It is nice to know that ASUS is so eager in searching for innovations, and so willing to offer new changes. As a Zenfone 2 users, you would have the huge advantages of the first users to ever have that much access and freedom in tinkering your smartphone. But at the same time, that equal to all the unpredictable risk and zero warranty.
It is understandable for ASUS to provide more offers for customers, but still worry about their name and the reliability they spent years and limitless efforts to gain.

Recently there is some news going around about full charging at only 6 minutes. That seems a very interesting and amazing technology, but we will not talk about that today. Since new technology will be on new smart phones, we focus more on already released devices. In a fast charging test conducted not too long ago, Asus Zenfone 2 and Samsung Galaxy S6 are tied on a 30 minute test. However, Asus Zenfone 2 stays the fastest charging smartphone if charging time at 15 minutes or lower.
Asus Zenfone 2 tops the list of fastest charging smartphones
Asus Zenfone 2 battery is 3000mAh. With normal charging, it would take the device around 3 hours to be completely charged. However, with fast charging enabled, Asus Zenfone 2 only takes around 1 hour 45 minutes to be fully charged.
It takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes for Zenfone 2 battery to charged from 1 to 100%
And around 47 minutes to charge from 1 to 67%
It seems Asus has proved the promised time for fast charging they has made before. With this, Asus Zenfone 2 stays a more favorable smart phone among its rivals.
On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy S6 battery is only 2500mAh. Therefore, while it catches up with Zenfone 2 in the 30 minute test and gets a shorter fully charged time, the victory still goes to Zenfone 2. Hooray, Zenfone 2 users, now you even have the fastest charging smartphone in your hands.
