By on Email @exolete

The Asus Zenfone 2 performs good and looks good doing it. Its one of the most well-built devices under Rs. 10,000 alongwith excellent hardware. In day-to-day usage you won't see any lag nor in most high-end games. There are a few cons here and there, like the capacitive buttons don't light up and its a bit tall for a 5-inch device. But given the crop of current design apes, the Asus Zenfone series is a breath of fresh air. Moreover, Zen UI is a great value-add in terms of usability.
