Without looking at the zoom-in, we can difficulty judge which camera is better. But, in the zoom-in, absolutely, with 16MP sensor lens, Samsung Galaxy S6 showed up photos with less noise and more clarity. There is a bid differences between their pics but we think these lies on the color palette of each phone.

3. Conclusion

Asus Zenfone 2 Antutu Scores 

The Asus Zenfone 2 was official introduced at CES on Jan 5th. After last two weeks, many Asus lovers asked us about this phone’s availability. Sounds great for Asus.

The Asus Zenfone 2 was the world’s first 4GB smartphone and its phone will be priced from 199 USD for the 2GB/16GB variant. With this price and all of its specs, we can be sure Asus will create a amazing rock concert ever.

More than 15 Million Users in the world use Zenfones already and its phone have gotten a lot of good feedback. So with this new phone, Asus definitely keeps shaking the market so far.

We are very interested to show you how the Asus Zenfone 2 Specs compare to other high-end smartphones of 2015 though. Its 2GB/16GB variant will be priced at 199 USD and no official words for 4GB version but we expect the 4GB RAM version to be around 300USD at Launch in March.

It’s truely interesting when compare the Asus Zenfone 2 to phones in the same price range, like OnePLus One, Xiaomi Mi4 and even the gradually more expensive Xiaomi Note. And the result is even much more enjoyable.

The Asus Zenfone 2 features a 5.5 inch display along with a Full HD 1080p resolution with a very good 403ppi pixel density. The display has a slight 3.3 mm bezel, giving ZenFone 2 a remarkable 72% screen-to-body ratio for a maximized viewing experience. Actually, its phone not as compact as the LG G3 for example. Moreover, its phone will be powered by a 64 Bit Quadcore Intel Atom Z3580 at 2.3 Ghz, which can easily hold its own against Snapdragon 805 and Exynos 7 Octa Cpu. If there are weaknesses, its more in the graphics department.

And the most outstanding feature to make it specially is the 4GB of RAM though. We showed you the Antutu Benchmark of 43809 scores. At this mark, the Asus Zenfone 2 can easily beat out the Sony Xperia Z3 and even Samsung Galaxy S5 – very trong performance! Even the 2GB version with the score of 40,926 (not too lower than the 4GB variant) and the price of 199 USD. I’m sure that this phone will be sell as the hot cake.

For the Camera department the Zenfone 2 sports 13MP/5MP for Main Shooter with f/2.0 and Selfie Cam respectively. All of its cameras are patented by Asus’s PixelMaster Technology. The quality of Asus’ s camera is tested for a long time ago and they even promises that its Zenphone 2 cameras will be much better than the Sony Xperia Z3. Here are some pics from the Asus Zenfone 2 and also the Galaxy Note 4 and we guess that you can easily see the huge between their quality. Even in low light condition, the Pixel Master Camera of the Asus Zenfone 2 performs really well due to 400% more light in the pictures.

Another plus is Dual Sim Support, which is a favorable for Asia market. In fact, you can find the same feature in Mi Note and Meizu m1 Note. For the battery, 3000 mAh battery is just “suitable capacity” for the Asus Zenfone 2, not really great for the 5.5″ FHD screen.

As you can see from our Asus Zenfone 2 Specs Comparison, the Asus Zenfone 2 with 5.5″ Full HD Screen, 64BIT Intel Atom CPU and up to 4GB RAM can definitely hold its own. Especially the 4GB RAM version makes the Zenfone 2 one of the top competitors in the 300USD price range for 2015. For 199USD the Asus Zenfone 2 might even be the best Android Smartphone for under 200 USD.

The Asus Zenfone 2 will come to selected markets in March 2015. We hope that its phone will come to Philippines in early Q2, as in April 2015. Its 2GB/16GB is reportedly sold at 199 USD (or nearly 8,900 PHP), we expected the price of 4GB/64GB variant will around 300 USD (or PHP 13,390).
