After a few months of anticipation, the Zenfone 2 landed in national land promising to shake up the Brazilian market for smartphones, nudging not only the intermediaries, as suggested by the price range, but with performance that can strike fear into some line of tops .
You can read more details about the device in our analysis. This comparison shows how the device is on of the leading names in the line of tops market. Below is a specification comparison table with more information below:

Processor and memory
This is difficult to answer eye because there are three system-on-chips produced by different companies with totally different characteristics. As we know, Apple can do damage with his chip, even with obviously lower numbers.
The benchmark 3DMark, trying to make a “agnostic” test, regardless of the platform, measuring the ability to each 3D graphics rendering device, the Zenfone 2 is below the S6, and therefore the Note 5 (which has the same processor, but more RAM), but above the iPhone 6 Plus.
The score looks like this:
iPhone 6 Plus: 17827
Zenfone 2: 19332
Galaxy S6 Edge: 21537
Software
Samsung and Asus are side by side in order to change as much as possible Android, leaving very little of the original experience designed by Google. TouchWiz and ZenUI have enough in common in this regard. However, the advantage goes to Samsung at least learned not to pre-install as many applications on their phones and let the user decide whether he wants to or not to install the additional features later, while Asus has yet OVER TWENTY pre Apps installed. Another advantage is that Samsung uses the Android Lollipop 5.1 under the TouchWiz, while Asus is still in 5.0.
But the iPhone 6 Plus brings iOS, which is the same on all devices. It is a lightweight system that benefits from having been designed to make the most of the iPhone’s hardware, and does not depend on customized cover that Android manufacturers apply to the software, which ensures a cleaner system. Unfortunately, the company has taken a bad way to preinstall increasingly unnecessary applications that can not be removed and always end up hidden in a folder.
screen
Recently, a ranking put the new screen Galaxy Note 5 as the best in the market. Not surprisingly, since Samsung is one of the big names in the production of displays in the world, with the LG competitor. In the case of this comparative is the only device that reaches the Quad-HD resolution, then it leads handily.
To be clear, the 5.7-inch screen of the Note 5 is the only one to present a concentration of 515 pixels per inch. Meanwhile, the other two devices, with screen size of 5.5 “, also they have good displays, but not as much as. Please note: only 400 pixels per inch
design
A comparative design is always subjective, but it is very clear that the Zenfone has the least special finish among the competitors, with a simple plastic that imitates a brushed metal. Meanwhile, the iPhone has its now traditional aluminum coating and the Galaxy has a metal frame with glass back.
That said, the Zenfone is also the only one to embrace fully curved design on the back, which helps the device to fit a little better in the palm, which makes a bit of difference because it is a great device. The Note 5 to have a small curvature ago, which also breaks a bit the feeling of having a 5.7-inch device in hand.
It is also important to note that both the Galaxy and the Zenfone embraced the edges Miniature around the display, although the capacitive buttons Asus the apparatus contribute to a higher smartphone. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 Plus is still much higher than it should be.
Camera
It is one of the points that highlight the expensive handset Samsung and Apple’s top of the line “cheap” from Asus. This ranking places the camera S6 Edge, identical to Note 5, as the best on the market with the iPhone 6 Plus appearing not far behind. The Zenfone not on the list.
Does it make sense. Both Apple and Samsung use Sony Exmor sensors to its rear cameras, with the difference that the model used in the Galaxy devices is younger. In addition, both the iPhone 6 Plus as Note 5 have optical image stabilization, which makes a big difference.
Connectivity
All rooms have 4G, which is good, but only the Zenfone has a capacity of two chips, only one of them connects only to the 2G network.
Price
This is where the Zenfone 2 shines. Even with a bit of inferiority (not much) in most of the above listed questions, it can cost less than half of the competitors. The suggested value for the unit is $ 1.3000, while the iPhone 6 Plus costs at least R $ 3900. At the same time, the Note 5 has no confirmed price in Brazil, but it should be launched here soon and it is impossible that costs cheaper than the Galaxy S6, which costs at least R $ 3000.
Conclusion
As noted in our review of Zenfone, the device is suitable for those seeking performance well above the average of the price range in which it is, but do not care to find other restrictions on other issues. In this comparison, it is below the other two on almost all counts, but not much. In the end, the difference in quality between the models do not match the huge price difference, making the Asus machine a good alternative.
