Asus ZenFone 5 - Battery and Final Verdict

The Asus ZenFone 5 sports a decent 2,110mAh non- removable battery fitted inside. In our brief testing, we have found the battery is capable of running at least one full day which is pretty decent.

In our short testing, the Asus ZenFone 5 has managed to impress us. The device has a magical display and soothing design, which makes it a good piece of hardware. That said, it could have been better if Asus choose to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor instead of Intel powered chipset.

Last but not the least, the Asus ZenFone 5 is expected to cost anywhere between Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 15,000. In comparison to the Moto G, this new phone seems a great value. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!
