It's no longer a new thing seeing some smartphone companies cloning Apple products. The latest victim is the iPhone X that is now cloned and named Asus Zenfone 5.
So Asus Zenfone 5 is a clone of the iPhone X,
Asus however claimed that its notch is “26% smaller than the Fruit Phone X” though and then uses a wallpaper that hides the notch in the phone’s official images. Sigh. One is not sure what to make of this. If you are proud of it, flaunt it, please.
The devices looks similar in appearance and the cloned version has an impressive 90% screen-to-body ratio.
You can easily spot the Apple iPhone X influence imprinted in the front and back of the phone, from the notch to the camera location. And on the inside, the iPhone X touch is visible too.
Now here is another interesting one, there is Zenimoji, something similar to Apple's Animoji and Asus revealed that ZeniMoji avatars can be used in video chats, live-streaming, and regular text chats.
ASUS ZENFONE 5 SPECIAL FEATURES
The device comes with several AI features including the AI Charging, which dynamically adjusts the charging rate by monitoring the user’s charging habits. The main advantage this technology is to help maximize the battery lifespan.
Another feature is the AI Ringtone which intelligently adjusts the ringer volume according to the ambient noise level, so the phone rings louder on a noisy street and quieter in a serene hotel lounge. Nice right?
Another one is AI Scene Detection in the camera, and its work is to analyse the subject and matches it to one of its 16 scene types.
There is also an AI Photo Learning which lets you teach the ZenFone 5 how you want your photos to look. It then automatically adjusts the camera settings for future shots — so photos will always reflect your unique style preferences.
Other basic features of Zenfone 5 smartphone are the trendy dual camera setup, stereo speakers, fingerprint sensor, 4G LTE and VoLTE, and others which are listed later on this post.
Meanwhile, don't forget there is a more powerful variant of the Asus Zenfone 5 called the Zenfone 5Z. We have all the technical details below.
