We found it very comfortable to hold thanks to the way Asus has made the back of the ZenFone rounded – it's thinner at the edges and gets thicker in the middle, fitting snuggly in the palm. The overall dimensions of the ZenFone 5 are 148 x 73 mm, so it's possible to use it one-handed for many people. It should also fit in most pockets, and isn't particularly heavy at 145 g.

The ZenFone 5 has a plastic back with a soft matt finish made with a ceramic coating, which we like aside from its tendency to highlight fingerprints and marks. That back is removable, though, and you can swap it out for a variety of different colours including Charcoal Black, Pearl White, Cherry Red, Twilight Purple and Champagne Gold, as shown in the image at the top of this article.

We found it a bit difficult to get the back case off, and you'll need to do so in order to insert your SIM card and microSD card, but it does give a satisfying snap when you fit the case back on, with a tight fit that looks well-finished.

You'll notice a small portion of metal along the bottom of the case and the volume and power buttons on the side are also metal, with Asus's trademark concentric circle design. They're a nice little touch to make the ZenFone 5 look that bit more premium. However, on the review unit we tested, we noticed that there was a small gap between the metal portion and the start of the display, which quickly collected dirt and was difficult to clean.

A second downfall to the ZenFone 5's (and ZenFone 6's) design is the buttons along the bottom of the display. They don't have any backlight, so it's tricky to know whether you're hitting the right button when you're using the smartphone in dark environments.

Asus ZenFone 5 review: Display

That 5in display is HD 1280x720 IPS, which makes a pixel density of 293ppi. That's better than the 6in ZenFone, which has the same resolution so a lower pixel density. We found the ZenFone 5's screen to be bright and crisp, and were very impressed by the viewing angles made possible thanks to the IPS panel.

Asus also provides an app called Splendid for its ZenFones, which is designed to help you adjust the display to your liking. The 'vivid' mode works well for brightening and bolding up colours, for example, so we'd recommend having a play around with it.

Asus ZenFone 5 review: Hardware & performance

Inside the ZenFone 5 is an Intel Atom Z2580 quad-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. That's paired with 2 GB RAM, meaning that this smartphone is definitely not sluggish. It's responsive – apps were quick to launch and playing games was smooth enough for most casual smartphone gamers.

We put the ZenFone 5 through our benchmark tests to give us an idea of how it compares with some of its rivals. It managed 13fps in our T-Rex GFXBench graphics test, which is better than the Motorola Moto G 2014's 11fps and the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini's 10fps, but not as impressive as the 14fps achieved by the £99 EE Kestrel.

Geekbench 3 processor test results were 467 for single core (better than the Motorola Moto G 2014 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini) and 1081 for multicore, beating the Sony Xperia M2but settling just behind the Motorola Moto G 2014 which managed 1144.

In the SunSpider web browser test, the ZenFone 5 achieved a score of 1038ms. That puts this smartphone in line with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and just a bit slower than the LG G3 when it comes to web browsing.

The ZenFone 5 is available with 8- or 16 GB built-in storage, but Asus has included a microSD slot to allow up to 64 GB extra to be added.

The ZenFone 5's connectivity includes 802.11 b/g/n WiFi (not the faster 11ac standard, though) and Bluetooth 4.0, but there's no NFC or IR Blaster. 4G support is only available in the other version of the ZenFone 5 mentioned previously in this review.

Asus ZenFone 5 review: Cameras

The camera in the ZenFone 5 is 8 Mp with an LED flash and an f/2.0 aperture that uses the company's PixelMaster technology. We were a bit disappointed by the ZenFone 5's camera after loving the 13 Mp camera that the ZenFone 6 sports, as the results seemed to be over sharpened. It's not a bad camera, but it's certainly not the best we've seen on a mid-range smartphone, or even a budget smartphone for that matter.

You can take a look at an example of the photos you can expect to achieve with the ZenFone 5 below. Click the image to enlarge.

Below is a full-size crop of that image to give you a better idea of the quality of the image.

Like the ZenFone 6, the ZenFone 5 offers a low-light mode that detects when you're in a dark environment to help increase the light sensitivity, decrease noise and boost colour contrast, and we found that it works really well.

Other modes include Time Rewind, which captures a total of 31 photos in a short burst to help you get the best outcome, Panorama, a special Selfie mode for the rear-camera, a Depth of Field and Miniature mode and a smart remove mode that lets you get rid of unwanted objects with some success.

There are lots of other filters and effects to play with for some Instagram-like results, and even a GIF Animation mode if that's what you're into.

On the front of the ZenFone 5 is a 2 Mp camera with an f/2.4 aperture that'll do the trick for selfies and video calls.

Video with the rear-camera was very disappointing, though. It's cable of recording 1080p but it continuously stutters and lags so we wouldn't recommend buying this smartphone if recording video is important to you.

Asus ZenFone 5 review: Software

We really enjoy using Asus's ZenUI interface on the company's tablets, so we're pleased to see that the company has introduced it to its smartphone range. It uses Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (no 4.4 KitKat, unfortunately). See also: Asus MemoPad 7 review

The bold colours, flat design combined with simple navigation that's easy to get used to make ZenUI particularly appealing, and we like the apps Asus has designed such as What's Next for a quick look at your schedule and Do It Later to remind you to reply to an email, watch a YouTube video, return a phone call and more.

Asus ZenFone 5 review: Battery life

We found the battery life of the ZenFone 5 to be really good, just as we did with the ZenFone 6. Using the ZenFone 5 to send emails, browse social media, send messages, make phone calls, play games and watch videos on the commute, we found that we could get away with charging the device once every two days.

Asus's Power Saver app is useful. We switched on Optimised mode and Smart Saving, which didn't impair our use of the phone at all but definitely seemed to prolong the battery life.

There's also an Ultra-saving mode to squeeze even more battery life out of the phone without going so far as to make the content black and white like some smartphones do, and the option to customise your own battery saving mode.

Ready for a blast from the past? We last covered the YotaPhone late last year

Ready for a blast from the past? We last covered the YotaPhone late last year when the YotaPhone price was announced for Europe and the states. It’s been a long time coming, but the dual-screen device known as the YotaPhone is finally coming to India.
The YotaPhone is one of the more intriguing devices we’ve seen in the past few years, and it’s been available to purchase for quite some time. India was left out of the equation, but that will soon change with the arrival of the Yota at Flipkart. Wondering what makes the device so special? Wonder no more…
Dual-displays is what sets the YotaPhone apart from the crowd as you’ll get a 4.3-inch 720p display on the front to go along with a 4.3-inch EPD display on the backside. The rear display is where the magic happens as it’s of the E-ink variety and can keep you in the loop without ever having to turn on the main display. The rest of the YotaPhone specs include 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a dual-core 1.7GHz chip, and a 13MP/1MP camera combo. It runs Android, has LTE connectivity and a 1,800mAh battery.
While neither FlipKart or Yota has come out and said that the “YotaPhone” is coming, the brand was listed in a newsletter sent to affiliates. There is a new version of the YotaPhone, but we expect to see the original hit India before the 2014 edition rolls out. As you’d expect, no pricing has been announced, but the YotaPhone currently goes for around £359 on Yota Devices official site.

When iOS 8 rolled out, so did the ability to use third-party keyboards

When iOS 8 rolled out, so did the ability to use third-party keyboards. We gave you a list of iOS 8 alternative keyboards, but one was missing from that list. It’s called the PopKey keyboard, and it has just touched down in the App Store.

The PopKey keyboard app is not your typical swipe-based keyboard, and it will blow your mind if you’re into GIF’s. When you’re having a text convo with someone, instead of simply replying with a boring text response, the PopKey GIF keyboard will allow you to insert a GIF with ease. The app comes pre-loaded with thousands of animated pics to get you started, and it’s easy to upload your own personalized GIF’s as well.

While it may not sound like a big deal, most keyboards require multiple steps to insert a pic and you always have the resizing issue to deal with. This is where the PopKey keyboard app shines as its geared to make things simple and automatically resizes all incoming images. One the downside, they use watermarks, and there is no search feature at this time.

The Sony Xperia Z3X specs show a Snapdragon 810 and QHD display

It’s safe to say some folks were a little disappointed when Sony finally unveiled the Xperia Z3. It’s a stellar handset, but far too close to the Z2 in terms of specs and design. Well, hold onto your hats as the Sony Xperia Z3X specs have hit the net, and they are impressive.

The Xperia Z Ultra is one of Sony’s larger handsets, and the Sony Xperia Z3X specs show it is nearly that size with a humongous 6.2-inch display. The resolution gets a massive bump up to 2,560 x 1,440 as well which will make it the sharpest phablet around if the benchmarks are true. That’s just the beginning of things…

Underneath the hood of the Sony Xperia Z3X, you’ll find a Snapdragon 810 64-bit SoC with an Adreno 430 GPU. It will be insanely fast, and it’s going to have a whopping 4GB of RAM to boot. Last but not least, is a 2/3” sensor that clocks in at 22.1MP. We have to assume the front-facing shooter would be at least 5MP with a rear camera like that. Photogs will be pleased to say the least.

Oppo has become one of the major players

Oppo has become one of the major players in the smartphone business thanks to its many popular products like the N1 and Find 7. The Chinese handset maker has been quite successfully with its high-end smartphone priced very low.

The Oppo N1 and Find 7 are available internationally, though the company initially launched them in China. Both smartphones have been selling like hot cakes in Asia, which is why Oppo plans to release a sequel to one of its popular N1 model.

Even though it would have been obvious to launch an Oppo N2, after the N1, the Chinese company seems to have skipped directly to Oppo N3.

The unannounced Oppo N3 has already been teased a few times by the handset maker, but nothing on the phone’s specs has been shared until recently.

GSMArena reports the N3 has been pictured in China, which suggests it won’t be long until the smartphone goes official. As a matter of fact, according to Oppo’s teasers, the N3 should be launched on October 29, but it’s unclear whether or not the smartphone will be available for purchase this month as well.

The pictures showing the Oppo N3 isn’t the only new information we have about the smartphone. Apparently, some of the phone’s specs have been leaked as well, so here is what you will get if you decide to grab the upcoming Oppo high-end smartphone.
