Considering how prolific Asus is as a smartphone maker, it was no longer surprising to see the company showing off its other smartphone offerings in addition to the Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe, which actually came with the same hardware as its base model, the Asus ZenFone 2, but with different exterior design.
The Phone Arena describes the Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe as the stylish version of the Asus ZenFone 2 ideal for those who want their handset to stand out and obviously a better-looking variant of the base model.
The Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe features a rear cover design that is accentuated by a multi-faceted rear cover and chameleon-like coating that tends to change the color hues of the phone as the user tilt it around.
With its 5.5-inch display screen size and 1080-pixel resolution covered by a Gorilla Glass 3, the Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe is very comfortable to hold and has the acceptable sharpness that users normally desire.
Xiaomi has announced their Redmi Note 2 handset last month after months and months of intensive rumors and leaks. This is a very capable mid-range handset, which is also rather affordable at the same time. The company has also announced the MIUI 7 OS alongside the Redmi Note 2 at the event, but we’re not here to talk about software this time around. Anyhow, the Redmi Note 2 has been available for purchase in China for a while now, and we do have some sales info to share with you if you’re interested, read on.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 sports a 5.5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) display, 2GB of RAM and 16 or 32GB of internal storage (depending on which variant you get). The 32GB variant actually ships with a slightly higher processor clock speed (2.2 compared to 2.0), and is officially called Redmi Note 2 Prime. Both variants are fueled by MediaTek’s Helio X10 64-bit octa-core SoC though. The 13-megapixel shooter is available on the back of this phone (PDAF available), while there’s a 5-megapixel snapper located on the phone’s front side. Android Lollipop comes pre-installed here with Xiaomi’s MIUI 6 on top of it (MIUI 7 will land soon).
