ASUS ZE554KL-S630-4G64G-B ZenFone 4 5.5-inch FHD IPS 4GB RAM, 64GB storage LTE Unlocked Dual SIM Cell Phone, US Warranty, Midnight Black

This phone is perfect, I've had it since the beginning of January and it's the best phone I've ever bought, I have yet to find something I don't like about it! I had a ZenFone 2 and really liked the storage capacity, but pretty much hated everything else about the phone, the battery life and the camera were pretty terrible, just to name a few. The ZenFone 4 has none of the issues the 2 had and it's a much better value and quality than the 3. I opted for the 4 over the 3 because of the camera (and to a lesser extent the price). The camera takes pristine pictures instantaneously without needing to adjust a bunch of settings or wait for it to focus. It's especially good at taking low light pictures, which is what I love because I go to a lot of concerts and night events. To top that off, the camera is not a massive power drain. The storage capacity still can't be beat, it's sleeker and more durable than ZenFone 2 or 3, and the battery life is phenomenal. I can leave my screen on with apps running the entire day and it's still not dead, plus it charges in a fraction of the time it takes other smartphones. I'm a bit of an appoholic, I use my phone for games, podcast, events, fitness, travel, music, endless hours of videos and googling, keeping my life organized and my finances in check and pretty much everything in between so it's a relief that I can find something to store my endless list of content, while not overheating or sacrificing battery life. Plus to make all of that easier and quicker, it has fingerprinting, which honestly did not seem like something I needed until I had it... it's life changing. My friends can also vouch for this phone. It is constantly being borrowed out for picture taking, recording videos, downloading apps that their phones don't have space for, playing music without a speaker (it's built in sound system is impressive and has an outdoor mode to project), and using my phone to charge their's (yes it even dose that). Please do yourself a favor and stop pulling out your hair comparing phones like I did, it doesn't get much better than this one!UPDATE: I've now had this phone for over four years and it's still fantastic. I take a lot of pictures and videos. The low light feature is great for concerts. I wish the zoom picture quality was a little better, but still takes better pictures than my husband's Samsung phone. The audio quality on the videos is really good, it does not seem to get distorted even when music is blasting nearby. It's durable, I've dropped it a lot and it only has a tiny crack on the side of the screen.The one down side I will note is the battery life has significantly decreased, but that seems to be common with all phones. It probably doesn't help that I have around 200 apps installed and a lot of them like to run in the background. The fast charging using C to C cords helps mitigate the battery life loss because it charges the phone from 15% battery life to almost full within about a 20 minute drive.

My HTC M9 died and I needed something at a decent price. We bought an zenphone 3 for my teenage son. It's been a solid phone for him so I picked up this one.The case is polycarbonate... I couldn't find that listed anywhere online.The screen is very clear and bright. It is easy on the eyes.The default zenUI is a bit ugly but you can tweak it easily to be better.The zenUI keyboard sucks.. but that was an easy fix.Call quality is excellent and so is signal strength.It runs LTE speeds and is surprising snappy.It can run higher end 3D games quite well.The camera quality is good and the beautify feature is surprisingly effective for selfies. It smooths out blemishes and most wrinkles.The haptic feedback is a bit rough. It's almost like they tried to make it too strong. It seems to be jerky.Buy it for the battery. This is the first full screen smart phone that has battery life. Amazing, incredible battery life. Spectacular battery life. I can go all day and only use 50% It makes the phone quite heavy but that makes it easier to hold. I use an iPhone for work and it runs out of juice around 2pm even when the battery was NEW.

I've had the Asus Zenfone 4 (4GB RAM, 64GB storage, up to 2TB external storage, Snapdragon 630 processor) for nearly 3-months now, and it has provided flawless service in all areas. This is my second Zenfone. The Qualcomm processor provides snappy performance with little to no lag. Video performance with the Adreno 508 graphics engine is smooth and crisp with excellent color and resolution for a non-AMOLED screen. Sound quality is stunning with headphones, but sadly, often not loud enough. One of the reasons I purchased the Zenfone 4 was for its camera/video performance, and it has not disappointed. The controls, especially in Pro mode, permit DSLR-like flexibility. The OIS and the main 12 mp rear camera produce crisp, color-neutral images that impress. It stands out as a low light performer. Very pleased. Even the 8mp wide angle rear camera produces beautiful, broad images. I have to confess, I haven't taken video, as yet.After initially looking over the specs before purchasing, I had thought the 3300mah battery might be the weak link. But, to my surprise, the battery life has been very good, with about a day and a half of service under heavy use. With USB type-C connector it charges from 0 to 100% in 1.5 hours. I believe the Qualcomm SD 630 to be quite an efficient processor. Very respectable.As a phone, using T-Mobile service, the reception and voice quality are excellent. No dropped calls.The appearance and feel of the Moonlight White unit offers a very satisfying, premium experience, with its shimmering glass finish and solid aluminum framework. Admittedly, the glass is slippery, so I recommend using the included clear cover. The Gorilla glass screen seems to resist finger prints quite well. I should also add that the front finger print scanner is very accurate and responsive.I like the fact that the Zen UI is very lean in this iteration, yet provides a few nice touches over stock Android. Although the Zenfone came initially with Android 7.1, it updated to 8.0 Oreo right away, and I must say, this beautiful device has functioned flawlessly since day one.I recognize that the Zenfone 4 is not the latest iteration of Asus line of phones, and the Zenfone 5 has been out for awhile now, but the Zenfone 4 is still a very capable phone device more than 18-months after its introduction. I look forward to future quality devices from Asus.

I am a previous Asus zenfone owner, I previously owned the Zenfone 2 less than a year ago and in between that and this one I purchased the Essential phone. Long story short I busted the essential phone and needed a replacement, my research got me to the Asus as a relatively dependable low budget phone. So off I go with Asus again.When I opened the box I was really impressed with the packaging, very well done with not a lot of extra bulk. The phone is a good size and weight and bonus it comes with a rubber case. I didn't have to go looking for one and it may have been somewhat difficult finding one for a phone like this since it is not quite mainstream. So really appreciated the case included. The thing is, if I had a case on my previous phone I probably would not be writing this review right now.I am not a big picture geek so I can't really say if the quality is good or bad for the camera but I do know it has some good optics and has a dual front and back camera for wide angle shots. Overall, pretty satisfied with this. The flash which acts as a flashlight also real bright, probably the brightest flash I have used. Great in flashlight mode. The look of the phone is great, I would almost like to use this phone without the case because the back is so nice but I would rather this last longer than a few months so the case will stay on for now.One problem I had with my last phone was the touch sensitivity was not there, not sure if it was hardware or software issue but it sometimes would not register a tap. This has no problems with that and is quite quick as well. I am also happy to get the double tap on/off feature back with this phone, a really missed feature from my previous Asus phone. There are also a few other functions that Asus built into their software like quick app access on the lock screen along with quick app access via tracing a letter on the screen.Battery life is not too bad on this. I have not been able to run it down to zero yet but have gotten it down to around 15%. I have not checked the graph to see if it is linear battery loss or if it stays at a certain percentage longer and drops off faster at other percentage of battery. Regardless I can get a full day out of this no problems and if not a quick top up with the provided charger will get me tons of juice within a very short period of time.This phone is in a great price point and the performance is really up to par for me. It still suffers from bloatware but no where near as much as it used to have on the Zenfone 2 version. They really cleaned up the apps and got rid of redundant ones. It doesn't have the AMOLED display that seems to be popular now but I still find the picture quality to be acceptable to me. Polarized sunglasses wearers will not be able to use this in portrait mode as it will look like a dark screen.

I have had this phone for 2 weeks. I like it. It has all things I thought it will have. It is fast enough for my use. There are two issues I think the manufacturer should consider: 1) there should be a detailed manual on the functionality of this phone. The User's Guide that comes with it is not detailed enough does not detail the functionality of the phone, Also, the hard copy of User's Guide appears in very small fonts, so I had to download one from their web site, 2) The cradle for the SIM does not go back in with ease. It is important for me because when I go to the US, I have to switch to a US SIM and I would rather like to do it with ease.All in all, it is a good phone at a reasonable price.

I love the camera, and it's definitely an upgrade from my old phone in space and speed. Then only come are that the battery is just alright (a little better than my old phone), and its hard to find a good case for this model and brand. It did come with a soft clear case, but once the screen protector is on, the case is level with the screen. The headphones are fantastic, and they have a pause button on the cord.

Overall this is a great phone it has a reasonable amount of bloatware not too intrusive, great audio options including outdoor mode which enhances vocals. It does however have a serious flaw with Bluetooth. When a Bluetooth device has successfully connected to the phone and then after using the Bluetooth device you disconnect and try to connect another device, it will connect then immediately disconnect and the phone must be restarted in order to connect to Bluetooth successfully. This is also a problem with the Asus Zenfone 3. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software problem. There's no point in going through customer service because they always blame it on your Bluetooth device, wireless interference, or user error.

Had this phone over a year, and I have yet to be disappointed . I play big download size games no worries , next to no lag at all.The double lens camera is awesome , takes wicked portrait photos . Amongst other great camera functions .Loud and clear speakerphone for jamming to music or hands free talking.
