										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>				<![CDATA[<!--OffBegin--><span class="dropcap">A</span>sus didn&#8217;t had much success with last year&#8217;s Zenfone 3 lineups except for the Max lineup which did see some traction with the mammoth battery backpack but can the new Zenfone 4 series infuse fresh energy into the Taiwanese brand? While we need to wait for that answer but meanwhile let&#8217;s check the Zenfone 4 Selfie with dual camera in this review. World loves taking selfies and Indians are no different. Last couple of quarters we have seen companies tapping on the selfie mania with selfie-centric phones with good measure of success. So Asus too has joined the fray with the Zenfone 4 Selfie series in India. They recently launched three Selfie phones in India from their Zenfone 4 lineup &#8211; the Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro and two variants of Zenfone 4 Selfie with one sporting a single camera for selfie and another a dual camera. What we got here is the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual Cam review.
First let&#8217;s take a look at what you get out of the box.

When you hold the Zenfone 4 Selfie for the first time, what springs to your mind immediately is it&#8217;s lightweight. At 144 grams its quiet lighter and it also has to do with its polycarbonate body. While we are accustomed to metal body phones these days that ups the stakes for the premium quotient, poly carbonate or in common parlance plastic body, is not something we fancy upon but nevertheless it has its own advantages like keeping the weight less and also not prone to dents on occasional falls. It does gets a metallic finish to give it a faux-metal look.

The back has the rear camera on top in the middle with a dual LED flash to its side. There are  antenna lines on top and bottom of the phone and Asus branding towards the middle. The rear camera has a frame flaunting the signature Asus concentric pattern.
The right side has the power button and volume buttons, both offering good tactile feedback.

The left houses the SIM tray. Opening it reveals a triple tray that accommodates two SIMs and one dedicated microSD card which is refreshing, considering most phones comes with only a hybrid SIM tray these days.

The bottom has a speaker grille and a micro USB port. It&#8217;s strange Asus has not considered an upgrade to USB Type C.

The front has a capacitive button as home button flanked by back and menu buttons. The home button also doubles up as fingerprint sensor. The buttons are not backlit.

At the top there is the dual selfie camera, ear piece grille and sensors. There is also a LED flash light for selfies during low light scenarios.
<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-6" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12449" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-dual-camera-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a>
While a metal body could have scored more brownie points for premium factor, ergonomically the Asus Zenfone 4 Selfie is comfortable to hold and handle and also has a decent looks to it.


<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Display</span></h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>5.5 inches</li>


 	

<li>IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen</li>


 	

<li>720 x 1280 pixels</li>


 	

<li>267 pixels per inch</li>


 	

<li>70.6% screen-to-body ratio</li>


</ul>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-7" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12450" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Asus-Zenfone-4-Selfie-Dual-Display-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a>
It&#8217;s disappointing to note that Asus has opted for a 720p resolution instead of a fullHD panel. It&#8217;s a 2.5D curved glass, there is no mention of any protective layer to it though. The panel is very responsive and smooth. While the color reproduction is good, the color doesn&#8217;t pop out nor lively especially if you like your display panel to be a bit more saturated. The viewing angles are good and the reading is also good under direct sunlight.


<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Software and ZEN UI</span></h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>Android 7.0 Nougat</li>


 	

<li>ZenUI 4.0</li>


</ul>


<!--Ads7-->
ZenUI has also been long accused of being a bloatware, that has changed a bit with the ZenUI 4.0. The new UI comes with minimal set of apps. The UI feels light and snappy. The app drawer is left untouched. There is no FM app pre-installed. There is also two special modes in the UI &#8211; easy mode for elders and a kids mode for children. Asus customized settings offer dual apps feature that can duplicate apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram etc for two accounts to run parallelly in the same phone.  Game genie mode allows to record the screen like when playing games.  Long press the menu button can activate split screen feature. The UI also offers gesture feature and you can draw certain gestures on the lock screen to launch certain apps and tasks. Double tapping the home button minimizes the screen for one- hand mode.

<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Fingerprint Sensor</span></h3>


The fingerprint sensor is at the front with the home button doubling as the sensor. Unlocking is fairly faster and is accurate too. Apps can be secured with the fingerprint sensor and it can also be configured to answer calls by touching the sensor area.


<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Performance</span></h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>Qualcomm Snapdragon 430</li>


 	

<li>Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53</li>


 	

<li>Adreno 505</li>


 	

<li>4GB RAM</li>


 	

<li>64GB ROM, expandable</li>


</ul>


Its baffling that Asus has settled for Snapdragon 430 which they have used in the Zenfone 3 Max too. Since the Max days there has been new chipsets dished out by Qualcomm and Asus could very well opted for something from the new lineups. Neverthless, the Snapdragon 430 is a time tested chipset and it fares fairly smooth for normal tasks. Considering the low-end specs, the skimmed down new UI helps in making the operations smoother. If you are a gamer, let&#8217;s be realistic here, the Adreno 505 is tad weaker, while most games play well, you can spot slightly weaker graphics and stuttering during heavy games.  Call quality is good. The loud speaker output is satisfactory too.
The Zenfone 4 Selfie dual packs in a 3000mAh battery. With a 720p panel and a 430 chipset, the battery can sail through a day. The absence of fast charging is a dampener though. The 1.3A of the charger doesn&#8217;t help either and it takes a painful 3 hours for a full charge from scratch.
Asus believes the target audience for the Zenfone 4 Selfie would not be bothered much about the specs story and they could compensate it with the camera, but does the camera live up to the expectation?


<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Camera</span></h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>Front camera: 20-megapixel, F/2.0 aperture + 8MP, F2.4 aperture with 120 degree FOV</li>


 	

<li>Rear camera: 16-megapixel, F/2.0 aperture</li>


 	

<li>upto FullHD videos</li>


 	

<li>EIS</li>


 	

<li>PDAF</li>


 	

<li>LED flash on front and back</li>


</ul>


Talking point of the Zenfone 4 Selfie dual is the dual camera setup in the front. While, higher megapixels doesn&#8217;t promises a better picture quality, it makes for a good marketing data. The secondary camera in the front offers a 120 degree field of view to accommodate more people and surroundings in your selfies. The camera app also has a group selfie mode to fit in more people into your selfies.
The camera app also offers few modes for selfies in addition to auto mode. As expected there is a beauty mode and apart from that there is a GIF, portrait and a selfie panorama mode. The beauty mode has adjustments for skin softening, skin brightening, eye enhancement and cheek thinning, in case you want to pamper yourself with an image makeover.
A few months earlier, Asus launched the Zenfone Live as the world&#8217;s first Smartphone to offer beauty mode while streaming live videos. These feature has now find its way into the Zenfone 4 Selfie series. There is a selfie master app for this purpose. You can apply beauty filter while going live on Instagram and Whatsapp.

The rear 16-megapixel camera is equipped with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) , EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) . There are presets for timelapse, manual mode, super resolution in addition to beauty, GIF, Panorama and portrait modes.
Both the front and rear camera offers portrait mode and the background blue is much better than some of the other phones we have seen in recent times in this range, the effect is smooth.

<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Verdict:</span></h3>


The Zenfone  4 Selfie Dual is priced at Rs 14,999 and during the big billion debut sale offered a 1000 Rs discount. The segment sees a tight competition online with the likes of the crazily popular Redmi Note 4, Honor 6X and the recent launches like K8 Note, Moto G5s Plus etc. Compared specs to specs, the Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual might look a bit watered down but everything is not about the specs for the average consumer. Asus as a brand still has a bankable reputation, the Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual offers a decent mix of everything including the 20-megapixel dual camera to grab the attention of the selfie nation. While I might not outright suggest the Zenfone 4 Selfie Dual, you might not be disappointed either if you are looking for a phone that does the normal daily tasks and along with being a  selfie phone.]]&gt;		</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>				<![CDATA[It has been a good year for Vivo in India , as per <span class="st">market analyst firm</span> like Counterpoint and Canalys,  the company has secured third position in the Indian Smartphone market in the first quarter of 2017 securing a neat 10% market share. The surge is largely due to its single minded focus on offline channels and the marketing blitzkrieg along with its brilliant tapping of the selfie craze that many of the smartphone users are fond of. The Vivo V5 and V5 Plus sold on the selfie highlights and now they have added V5S to their portfolio. V5s though is not much different from the Vivo V5, it only augments on the internal storage, slight aesthetic improvement and improved camera alg0irthms.
Like the V5, the V5s also features a 20-megapixel moonlight LED light promising a better selfie experience, does it deliver ? Let&#8217;s find out in this review along with what changes it brings over the V5.

Its surprising that Vivo had opted for a polycarbonate body instead of metal or glass that is in vogue now but on the positive side, the polycarbonate would fare better and avoid dents that a metal body might embrace during falls 0r the cracks a glass body might take. Honestly, the faux-metal does a very neat job and you need to be told that it is plastic and not really a metal body. Aesthetically looking at it, irrespective of the casing, it looks good. The V5s has the design flow and smoothness that is very familiar of its own other models and from the staples of the competition like the Oppo F1s.  Its a clean design with good ergonomics. The design language has so far worked for Vivo so they had no reasons to change it at least not with V5s as yet.
The sides are smooth and the edges gently curved, it gives a good feel when you hold it. The antenna lines are similar to what we have seen in V5 Plus and gives a neat look. The rear has the camera, LED flash and Vivo branding.

The bottom is crowded with speaker grille, microUSB port, microphone and a 3.5mm audio jack. The top is devoid of any ports.
<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12111" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="654" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-_-top.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a>
The right side has the volume and power button, while the left side houses the ejectable pin tray. Vivo V5s is a dual-SIM 4G VoLTE phone that can also accommodate a microSD card but its a hybrid dual-SIM so either you accommodate two SIMs or sacrifice the second SIM for a microSD card.
<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-3" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12113" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="654" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-V5s-power-button.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a>
Overall, I have no complaints on Vivo V5s design but yes, a metal  casing would have  been a more contemporary clothing but in any case you would never know unless told about it.
<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-4" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12116" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="654" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Vivo-v5s-display_3.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a>
I expected the V5s to have a fullHD display but Vivo has retained the same display as it was in V5. While many companies have made fullHD a mainstay in models in mid-segment and even Oppo and Gionee have opted for their latest devices in this segment, Vivo is still sheepish to change. Not that the HD resolution is bad but a fullHD would have read better on sheet.  In practical scenario, Vivo has done a rather fine job with its display. The display has a punch and the colors are well saturated with black rich. The touch sensitivity and responsiveness is very good, the viewing angles are great too!
The display setting has minimal controls and there is a blue filter like in most phone these days and Vivo calls it global eye protection ( a rather elaborate term!)


<h2>Software – The FunTouch UI</h2>


While the base is Android Marshmallow, Vivo almost make it indistinguishable with its heavy apple inspired UI , the FunTouch OS . The biggest unlearn-learn is getting used to the quick access settings which needs a swipe up from bottom of the screen or long pressing the menu button. Again the recent apps are nested in the control panel below and can the icons can be scrolled horizontally and swiped up to close the running apps.
The FunTouch OS has its own share of quirky features, my favourite being S-Capture which offers some awesome screenshot capabilities, gesture dial, some smart gesture options and a Smart click that allows you to turn the Volume down key to be assigned a task like opening an app or turning on flash light.
The V5s also gets a new feature  in vogue in many phones now- App Clone or popularly known as dual apps feature. The set up is not straight forward and you need to go to the edit mode of the homescreen to clone apps. While I had facebook, Instagram and Twitter running in my phone, I could duplicate only WhatsApp and none other apps. So if you have two SIMs in your phone, you can run two WhatsApp accounts associated with both the SIMs.

I have done a separate post on interesting features Vivo V5s has to offer and you can take a look at it, if you are interested. The Vivo inspite of the heavy customization doesn’t slow down the phone and manages to be nimble.


<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://techraman.com/top-features-of-vivo-v5s-that-might-win-over-you/"><strong>Read: Top Features of Vivo V5s</strong></a></h3>




<h2>Hardware and Performance</h2>




<ul>
 	

<li><span class="st"> MediaTek MT6750 <em>processor</em></span></li>


 	

<li>1.5GHz octa-core</li>


 	

<li>4GB RAM</li>


 	

<li><span class="st"><em>Mali</em> T860 GPU</span></li>


 	

<li>64GB storage / expandable</li>


 	

<li>4G VoLTE</li>


 	

<li>3000mAh battery</li>


 	

<li>Sensors: Accelerometer, light, orientation,gyroscope, proximity, magnetic</li>


</ul>


Now we head to the crucial part of the review most would be interested – the performance. Let’s be honest, the hardware the Vivo V5 doesn’t excite me. It’s pretty old for my personal liking. But that doesn’t mean it would be a sluggish performer.
I been using the Vivo V5s as my primary device for a week now. For normal usage, the V5s works like charm. It can handle multi tasking and for most part due to the lack of one click to close all background apps, I end up using the phone with multiple apps running parallely and it managed to handle the load. The call quality is good and I really liked the keyboard spacing which was very convenient and smooth.
When it comes to gaming, it was not bad at all. I could run Asphalt 8 at the highest graphic settings, though for a keen gamer there will be slight frame rate drops but the bottom line, it was playable. So did NOVA 3. So it was a mixed bag, barring few games, the Vivo V5s was able to play almost all games, heavy ones included but it also struggled with few selected games.
When it comes to audio, the V5s lives up to its reputation. Speaker position in many phones come in way of game play , but not in the case of V5s. Plus, thanks to the AK4376 dedicated Hi-Fi audio chip the the audio output is brilliant. The Hi-Fi audio setting when you listed with earphones on makes for a great listen.
The fingerprint sensor of the Vivo V5s is one of the most reliable sensors I have come across and is also fastest. Apart from unlocking the phone, you can also secure apps with fingerprint sensor.
Battery is yet another star performer of V5s, even the V5 gave me a good battery life and this one inspite of having the same battery scored a notch better than that. On a medium usage with WiFi and dual SIM with a Jio 4G VoLTE on constantly, I could get a full day easily. A let down though is the lack of USB Type-C.


<h2>Vivo V5s camera</h2>


Front camera:


<ul>
 	

<li>20-megapixel</li>


 	

<li>Sony IMX 376 sensor</li>


 	

<li>F/2.0 aperture</li>


 	

<li>5P lens</li>


 	

<li>1080p videosta capability</li>


 	

<li>Soft LED light</li>


 	

<li>Face beauty mode 6.0</li>


</ul>


The star selling point of the Vivo V5s is its 20 megapixel front facing camera that comes equipped with a soft LED light. Unlike the standard flash that fires while shooting a pic, the moonlight flash (that’s what Vivo calls it) in auto mode turns on under low-light conditions as a soft light even before you click and stays on till you close the camera app. The light is not harsh and gives a natural glow to your face without straining eyes and gives a good highlight.
Vivo has done a better job at the camera algorithm in the V5s, the pictures are remarkably better than the V5. The selfies come out with great detailing , even when you zoom in you can get good details. For the selfie lovers who love ‘beautification’ , the face beauty mode 6.0 offers up to 100 levels and works neatly. The camera on V5s strikes a good note and that is what Vivo V5s sells and it works well as its target customers would want it to.
Rear camera:


<ul>
 	

<li>13-megapixel rear camera</li>


 	

<li>PDAF</li>


 	

<li>LED flash</li>


</ul>


Only very few front camera steal the limelight in camera phones where the rear almost always bag bigger mega pixel count but not in Vivo V5’s case. While it is out shadowed by the front camera, it does deliver a very good output. What surprised more is the video quality of the V5s , it is one of the better Smartphone video camera I have come across in recent times in this segment.

<h2>Vivo V5s to buy or not?</h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-5" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12115" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="654" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/vivo-v5s-display_2.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a>
Say Yes to V5s for:


<ul>
 	

<li>Good display inspite of 720 pixels resolution</li>


 	

<li>Finger print sensor is accurate and very fast</li>


 	

<li>Good battery life</li>


 	

<li>Impressive audio output</li>


 	

<li>The camera both selfie and rear got much better than the V5.</li>


</ul>


Frankly I expected V5s to be a better worthy upgrade to Vivo V5 but then it doesn&#8217;t seem to be. The S in V5s is basically Storage and double of it.  Between V5s and V5 it makes sense to buy the V5s at least for the double storage it offers but also, somewhere I feel Vivo has done a bit of optimization to this device that seems to work better now.]]&gt;		</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>				<![CDATA[<span class="dropcap">T</span>hink 5-megapixel is the standard for front shooter to be labelled selfie phone?

The camera app comes with inbuilt beauty tools and tricks like <em>Eye Enhancement</em> to make eyes bigger (or smaller) &amp; brighter,<em> Face Slimming</em> which can shed your double chin and also give high cheek bone effect, <em>Skin Smoothening</em> helps to give a clean facial look free of blemishes, <em>Teeth Whitening</em> is self explanatory and so is <em>Remove Oil</em> if you worry about the oil patches on the face, there are also options to add extra effects like mascara, eye-shadow, blush &amp; lip gloss.
