There has been a surge in demand for the mid-range smartphones in the recent days. Mid-range android smartphones, like the ASUS Zenfone 5 are the most popular in market now a days because of the power-packed features and lower pricing.
We decided to review a few mid-range android smartphones to find out which is the best smartphone under 10,000 INR. The clear winner in this category is ASUS Zenfone 5.
Why is ASUS Zenfone 5 the best smartphone under 10,000 INR ?
In my opinion, what makes the ASUS Zenfone 5 stand out from the competitors is the 1.6 GHz Intel Z2560 dual-core SoC with hyper threading technology. The hyper threading technology allows the Intel Z2560 in the ASUS Zenfone 5 to act more like a quad-core processor. Due to this the device performs extremely well in benchmarking tests as well.
The second great thing about the ASUS Zenfone 5 is the camera quality. The 8 Megapixel primary camera with LED flash is the best in the segment. It even outperforms a few of the 13 MP shooters that are available in the market.
The 2 GB of RAM and the 8GB of internal storage is pretty decent for a smartphone which is available for 9,999 INR. The storage can be expanded upto 64 GB via a micro SD card.
The built quality of the ASUS Zenfone 5 is good as well. The metal finish below the display is very elegant. The back panel is made of plastic but looks pretty good.
ASUS Zenfone 5 has a 5 inch IPS display with 1280 x 720p HD resolution . The display is vibrant indoors, however the visibility outdoors is not so good. You need to tweak the brightness to obtain a decent visibility. The Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the Asus Zenfone 5 from scratches and accidental screen damages.
ASUS Zenfone 5 supports dual-sim and boasts of an advanced antenna design for better signal reception. The phone’s 2110 mAh battery will last for a full day easily.

Do you think so even after the launch of RedMi Note. Isn’t it a better device? Zenfone’s battery performance is very poor and the speaker is also very tiny.

Rajat, I only review products that I have personally tried and tested. RedMi note might have better features and a lower price as compared to ASUS Zenphone 5, however I cannot comment on the performance without actually using it. Also, Xiaomi as a brand has a long way to go. No doubt their sales have skyrocketed in the recent days but I am still unsure if the brand can be relied upon. I did use the Redmi 1S and the battery life was pathetic.
Also, please use your real name while commenting.
Cheers !

That’s quite strange….That particular game and the Facebook app runs properly on the device. Do you have a lot of apps running simultaneously ? What’s the amount of free memory and did you root your device ?
