Comparisons Featuring Asus Zenfone 4 (2014)
Short Review
- The Asus Zenfone 4 (2014) features a compact design with dimensions of 124.4 x 61.4 x 6.3 - 11.2 mm and a lightweight build at 115g, available in multiple colors.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Powered by an Intel Atom Z2520 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, performance is adequate for everyday use but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures decent images and can record video at 1080p@30fps, though it lacks optical image stabilization.
- A 1600 mAh battery provides limited endurance, and there is no support for fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), upgradable to 4.4.2 (KitKat), offering a basic user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and a low-resolution selfie camera are notable drawbacks.
- Overall, the Zenfone 4 is a straightforward smartphone with essential features for casual users.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on core functionalities.
