Asus Zenfone C

Is it worthy to be the Zenfone's entry-level successor? The Asus Zenfone C, first unveiled in Malaysia in January, is set to follow the Asus Zenfone 4 in being the Taiwanese tech giant's budget smartphone king. Asus is no stranger to creating bang-for-the-buck smartphones. We've seen how they shook the local market with the release of the Zenfone 4, 5 and 6 last year, and the company is poised to take it once again with the new Zenfone 2, officially arriving this May. The Zenfone C is also set to take on the entry-level slot as the Taiwanese company embarks to release the device real soon. The Zenfone C looks pretty much like any other Zenfone out in the market right now. It doesn't really look that distinguishable from its siblings, as it sports the same design language seen on most Zenfones like the trademark concentric rings design at the bottom which catches light no matter which way you position it. Display and Multimedia The display of this entry-level Asus smartphone seems to be underwhelming. The Zenfone C utilizes a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display with a 854 x 480 resolution at 218ppi with support of up to five multitouch points. The main screen is glued away from the outer glass cover, so you may notice a small gap when you view your device sideways. The crispiness of the images are not as good as other Zenfones, and its viewing angles are limited especially when viewed from the top and bottom when in portrait mode.
