Asus Zenfone 5Z Details

Introduction and Performance
The Asus Zenfone 5Z is nothing but a bigger brother of the Zenfone 5 (2018). While most of the hardware remains same, the only difference is that the Zenfone 5Z is armed with Snapdragon 845, packs more RAM and internal storage space. The smartphone looks similar to the iPhone X and can safely be concluded as a cheaper version of the Apple's flagship. On the front, the device sports the much-talked-about notch which houses the front imaging sensor and the microphone. At the back, there is a fingerprint reader which is fast and responsive. 
With the Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB of RAM, you can expect flawless and lag-free performance even under the most demanding conditions. Users can enjoy graphics-intensive games like Asphalt 8 and PUBG and also indulge in working on multiple apps at the same time with ease. 
Camera and Display
The Asus Zenfone 5Z boasts a big 6.2-inch Full HD+ display which is coupled with good viewing angles that ensures users of a unique visual experience while watching videos or gaming. 
For image lovers, the smartphone is equipped with dual 12+8-megapixel rear shooters with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) which can be used to capture quality images and videos. You can click portrait shots even in the dark thanks to the presence of an LED flash. On the front, to assist selfies and video calls, the Asus Zenfone 5Z packs an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter. 
Storage and Platform
The Asus Zenfone 5Z runs the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out of the box and ships with an onboard storage space of 64GB which is enough for users to store apps and other data like music, images, videos, etc. If that does not fulfil your requirements, you also have the option of expanding the storage further using a microSD card up to 200GB (2TB).
Battery and Connectivity
Connectivity options that tags along with the Zenfone 5Z include 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. One also gets dual SIM support with the smartphone.
