Intro

ASUS ZenFone 4

The ASUS ZenFone 4 line up was announced 2 quarters ago over at Taipei, Taiwan. We were there during the launch and since then we have reviewed a few models of them, namely the ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro and the ZenFone 4 Max Pro. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, this review came a bit late, but still better late than never right?

Without further ado, let’s dive straight into the review and find out what ASUS has to offer in their flagship ZenFone 4 smartphone.

Unboxing

ASUS ZenFone 4

The box has the same design language as their ZenBook lineup, especially the blue and gold colour scheme.

Comes in the box:

  • ASUS ZenFone 4
  • Transparent soft TPU case
  • 5V2A AC Adapter
  • USB-A to USB-C cable
  • In-ear earphones & replacement earbuds
  • User manual

ASUS ZenFone 4

Great job to ASUS for providing a case out of the box. Since the phone has a rather slippery surface, more onto that later, and looking for a case for the ZenFone line up could be challenging as well.
