ICynosure

You may have followed my Asus series for the phones and tabs on iCynosure and must be pretty familiar with how much I love the brand. The phones have occupied an enviable place in my list of gadgets to own over the last year and a half since I first connected with the brand especially for its ‘fashion blogger’ committed features, balanced specifications and its mid-level price point. With every phone/variant, the brand has outdone themselves with a spectacular design, good quality parts, and focus on pricing. The combination has been continued with Zenfone 3 thereby retaining the legacy.


Now let’s talk about the #Z3NCREDIBLEIndia! Available in two variants 5.2 and 5.5 inches, I’m reviewing the 5.2-inch 3GB variant. Zenfone 3 is an agile, exquisite design inspired by the beauty of nature backed by a glass-and-metal body that ensures safety coupled with an ultra-fast 0.03s TriTech auto-focus technology that captures your world with absolute clarity.

As a person who is more into fashion than into technology, there are a couple of instant hits that instantly drew me to Zenfone 3. 


Stunning Craftsmanship
Zenfone 3 is such a stunner, a redefined craftsmanship contoured with a Corning Gorilla Glass, tapered into a thin 6.16mm edge and a fluid, multi-dimensional design. A diamond-like natural beauty with the signature concentric-circle pattern for a life less ordinary.

Elegant Display
ZenFone 3 is a sight for sore eyes with its fabulous wide display with 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution and 600 Nits brightness. With an almost 75% display screen to body ratio, viewing becomes a pleasure even under the harshest/brightest light conditions.

Touch Security
Zenfone 3 is armed with a fingerprint sensor that is perfectly positioned in the way the phone is held. All the personal data secure with this feature should it fall in the wrong hand while unlocking in 0.2 seconds when touch sensor used. 

Perfect Frame
Zenfone 3 is included with a four-axis optical image stabilizer (OIS) that senses and prevents hand movements from blurring photos; while a three-axis electronic image stabilizer (EIS) keeps the handheld videos rock steady for shock-free, steady and good-looking pictures and videos. 

Excellent Performance
Zenfone 3’s external beauty is supplemented with a rock-steady internal powerhouse processor, the Snapdragon 625 that deliver complete performance while reducing power consumption by 35%. The 4G/3G dual-SIM bay for complete flexibility, a powerful 3000mAh battery and reversible USB-C makes the Zenfone 3 a connectivity convenience!

Here are some of the pictures that I #ShotOnZenfone3 on my recent trip.



My Final Thoughts: The Zenfone 3 is without a doubt the best in the series with a renewed focus on design and performance. A great display screen along with the camera highlights and an unexpectedly amazing battery life makes it a sure winner for me. 

Until next time,

Keeping in tune with its amazing products, Asus organised a superb array of meets across multiple cities in India to launch its new Zenfone officially called the Selfie phone. In Mumbai, they organised a special meet that was a Divas Only Meet on 8th August at the grand ballroom of ITC Grand Central. A one of its kind, the event was informative, fun-filled and entertaining.

ASUS India Launches The Zenfone Selfie Phones

The Asus team introduced the group of bloggers to the brand new first of its kind Zenfone Selfie phone that every girl in the room fell in love with instantly. Mr. Peter Chang the M.D of Asus took us through the various devices that were being launched and the features of these phones. He and his team primarily focused on the Zenfone Laser, Zenfone Deluxe and my favourite the Zenfone Selfie.

The Zenfone is a fantastic phone especially for pictures as it boasts of an incredible 13-megapixel front camera, along with a beautification mode that enhances the images with digital make-up. As soon as held the Selfie phone, I was sold on the piece especially with the brilliance of the images. In spite of the light being extremely low, the flash on the phone adjusts the light accordingly to perfect the pictures. Additionally, there is a front flash too that helps adjust the light for the Selfie mode. The brand invited MTV VJ Anusha Dandekar to give the group not only some make-up tips but also some amazing Selfie tricks. Once the fun session was over, she invited groups of girls for some Selfie contest.

Apart from this most important feature, you can check the details of the phone here. 

Priced at INR 15000 the new Asus Zenfone Selfie is a must-have. It is available in chic baby pink for the girls and a crisp tiffany blue for the guys. And worry not they also have a neutral white for everyone who was a basic no-flash colour. After reviewing the Asus Zenfone 2 this one is sure on my list of gadgets. You can pre-order your handset here.

Until next time,

Being an ardent fan of the Asus Zenfone I’ve used and reviewed the Zenfone 5 and I am sure you guys realise how it has made my digital life a sail through. With such outstanding performance and a sleek look, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it has been on the wish list of many people. 

Not content with the super success of Zenfone 5 the brand has gone ahead and created a marvel #AsusZenfone2 that has more potential and is creating a lot of waves in the smartphone category. Not surprising the phone has had a lot of positive reviews from users across categories. The phone has claimed the top spot in the smartphone under INR 25000 category all across the globe and has sold over 1,500,000 units in 15 days in China, 100,000 units in Hong Kong, 2 million units in Indonesia and, almost 25000 units pre-booked in a single day in India. Well, that sure is apt for a phone that has won over 238 awards for its design and features.



The phone specifications at a glance: 
§ Measures 152.5 x 77.2 x 10.9mm
§ Weighs 170g
§ 5.5-inch display, featuring a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels
§ 2.3GHz quad-core processor
§ 4GB RAM
§ 32GB internal storage, expandable up to 64GB
§ 13MP primary camera with dual-tone LED flash
§ 5MP front-facing camera
§ Dual-SIM dual active support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC
§ 3,000mAh battery
§ Android 5.0 with ZenUI

For me there are three things that I look for in my phone.. 

§ Speed and Capacity
§ Camera 
§ Battery Life

The #AsusZenfone2 is powered by a 64-bit 2.3GHz Super Quad-Core Intel® Atom™ Z3580 processor and is the world’s first smartphone with 4GB of dual-channel DDR3 RAM along with LTE Category 4+ for download speeds up to 250Mbit/s, and a 60ms touch response time and backed by 4GB RAM. - Though none of these super fancy words make any sense to me, the practical use does. With ample thought put behind the technology synchronization, the phone beautifully balances brilliant performance and superb power efficiency. And to top it there is the incredible capacity that allows smooth multi-tasking at amazing speed. The switching between apps is so much more fluent even while numerous apps are running in the background. 

The #AsusZenfone2 is infused with a 13MP PixelMaster camera with its f/2.0-aperture lens captures stunning, high-resolution photos with zero shutter lag. The industry-leading Low Light mode employs pixel-merging technology to capture up to 400%-brighter photos at night or in low-light scenes, without the need for a flash. Backlight (Super HDR) mode lets you see clearly through daytime shadow and Super Resolution mode helps you to capture detailed images at resolutions of up to 52MP! - Pictures and videos today are a way of life, and each product that facilitates this need is a winner nevertheless. But with all images shot in real time with clarity and actual richness of the environment, and automatic adjustment of the contrast ensuring deeper penetration of the darker areas is something worth applauding. And not to forget the most important feature of a smartphone today is the wide-angle selfie mode so that you miss out no one. 


And finally the #AsusZenfone2 is high on capacity with a 3000mAh battery that delivers the power you need to take you from sunrise to sunset — and beyond. Not only does it have a big capacity, Zenfone 2 also comes with the exclusive ASUS BoostMaster Technology that can charge your Zenfone 2 at double the speed. With BoostMaster, your battery is juiced up to 60% in no more than 39 minutes! Less time waiting, more time doing. – This is the most crucial feature that ensures I no longer need to scamper around looking to change my phone every time the battery life shows leading into the dead zone. A few minutes will help to take me through an additional 4 hours of talk time.


If you are looking for a phone that does these important things and much more, you must check the #AsusZenfone2 at Flipkart. I am all ready to upgrade from Zenfone 5 to Zenfone 2 now.

Get Clicking With The Asus Zenfone, Mobile Review

As a blogger, I am always on a lookout for my partner in crime and I’ve found one in the Asus Zenfone. It’s my go-to notepad to pen down ideas that keep popping into my head throughout the day. Not only is it a great writing tool but also a great one at expressions. Yes, you thought right. It is a device I use to click and store pictures that I can make use of during social media updates and shares.

The first thing that I do with a new device always is to click pictures of any and everything possible. My little princess becomes the cynosure of my photography craze and I’ve managed some amazing images. With children pictures and videos is such an instinctive thing and can happen at the drop of a hat. You wouldn’t really want to miss out on those moments that you shall cherish lifelong and so a handy good quality camera phone is a blessing in disguise. 

The picture quality and the video quality of the Asus Zenfone 5 are spectacular, much ahead than the smartphones available in its league. With multiple modes, it is perfect to take pictures not only in natural setting but also in indoor settings. The colours are vivid and there is a real-time capture that is most apt for a fashion blogger like me as we have less than a few seconds to click models strutting their stuff on the runway or capture those quick fashion bytes by celebrities and designers. 


The added benefit is the quality of the front camera. With crazy selfie junkies like me who take a zillion pictures, the Asus Zenfone is perfect for me. 


Another thing that I look for in my phone is at times to keep my daughter entertained when we are on the go. I need a phone that streams videos seamlessly whether they are cartoons or songs or some crazy videos. To support this need the battery needs to be great and the network connectivity super. All the boxes for the Asus Zenfone are ticked correctly and that’s perfect for me. 


Apart from the normal functions of calls, texts, surfing, emailing, if my phone excels in camera and video I feel I’m set for life. 


Why spend a bomb on a smartphone when you can achieve better with the Asus Zenfone 5, #MyAsusZenfone a budget phone with the best features that I would ever need. 


Get Asusing,
