If you had analysed the buzz on social networking websites after the launch of Asus' ZenFone series in India, it would look like the ZenFone 5 stole all the attention from its sisters. The ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 4 could have seemed almost like afterthoughts. Despite this step-motherly treatment by Asus, both phones are great devices in their own rights and are affordable too.
With the Zenfone 6, Asus has managed to build a phablet that boasts of good hardware components, good build quality, and decent camera performance. Most importantly, it costs less than many of good phablets which cost the same or even significantly more. Only the quality of the display and performance of the camera left us wanting for more.
