Seems like the noise reduction is too aggressive. Managed to snap some shots yesterday and transferred back to my GS6.

most handphone photos are like this, due to the small sensor size.

2 photos posted earlier, see below

managed to bluetooth transfer 2 photos

gGLBcRV.jpg

full auto, flash off, enhancement off
1/50, ISO100
everything quite sharp, except for the guy in black shirt

manual mode, shutter speed 1/125
ISO310
benefits of manual shutter speed control, no one is blurry, but photo is more noisy, due to higher ISO

tried to set an optimum shutter speed, could only choose between 1/60 or 1/125. Can set slower than 1/60 or faster than 1/125, but those are more for specialised situations

a pity the autofocus is a little slow...

hi
i am interested to get one,
may i know is there any differences in apk between this intel vs snapdragon ?

like maybe some apk are not compatible with intel ?
is the batt life really that bad ?

with respect to the 4G, SGP is 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz
is it necessary to get a dual sim to support both or just one freq will do ?


thanks!

Hi Kaer ,

Thank you so much for the review. May I know the battery performance for the 4gb ram Zenfone 2?? Cos review seem to be quite bad for the battery life of the phone.

Any user of 4gb rams pls share ur experience too! Will greatly appreciate.

Zenfone battery life had always been not very good for me. My Zenfone 6 can barely last half a day with my usage pattern and need to plug in ac. Whereas, the Huawei Mate 7 that I'm using now, after whole day, i still have roughly 50% juice left. Guess it's the Intel processor that's sucking the juice.

Hmm looks like this generation of Intel processor didn't have any major improvement though they have the new architecture.

Thanks for sharing Bobby.

Yes, based on Zenfone 6.

But, if you give it a deeper thought, why would Asus choose to emphasize on the Quick Charge capability and make no mention on the battery life?

Edit: just see the post above mine.

Can anyone change the vibration intensity or off vibration? It's really damn annoying, the vibration is too strong
