zenfone 2 or asus selfie? - Asus Zenfone Selfie Questions & Answers

Hello
i have samsung s5 and i want to try another brand
which one is better zenfone 2 or the new one asus selfie
i prefer selfie because front camera came with flash and wide angle
but zf2 have 4 GB of RAM and selfie 3 GB
but which one have better CPU ?

It's hard to find any worthwhile comparisons. The selfie is considerably different in that it's not Intel based. You get an 8-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 615 with the Adreno 405 and 3GB RAM, although there appears to be a slightly cheaper 2GB model. Can't really compare CPUs because you didn't specify which ZF2 model. Some have a 1.8GHz quad core and others a 2.3GHz one. I couldn't really find anything comparing them anyway.
The GPU on the ZF2 appears to be quite a bit more powerful. It's supposedly very close to the Adreno 330. The 330 being the high end of the past gen while the 405 is the lower of the current gen. As for the 1GB less RAM, I wouldn't worry about that. 2GB is arguably enough as it is.
Pricing was hard to find too. As best as I can tell it'll be roughly the same same price as the 1.8GHz/4GB/32GB ZF2 model. All the other specs, except the front cam, look the same.
So far as I can see, you lose a little on the CPU/GPU/RAM but get a much better front cam. This is purely from a quick Google search session. Again, there are a lot of different ZF2 models, from a 1.8GHz/2GB/16GB/720p up to a 2.3GHz/4GB/64GB/1080p.

thanks but let us compare between zf2 Quad 4GB (Intel Atom Quad Core Z3580 (2.3GHz))
and selfie Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615
CPU Quad-core Cortex-A53 & Quad-core Cortex-A53
is there any comparison between this different cpu brand?

Selfie has 4G available on both sim slots, ZF2 doesn't even support data on second sim.

All i could i think of:
Pros of the selfie - Removable battery, great selfie cam with flash, laser autofocus, corning gorilla glass 4
Pros of the zenfone 2 4gb (intel atom z3580) - faster cpu, better general performance, great gpu.
Cons of the selfie - SD 615 performance doesn't even match up to the lower end zenfone 2 with the z3560 chipset, weak gpu, bigger than the zenfone 2
Cons of the zenfone 2- lacks all the pros of the selfie
Since you are coming from an S5 i think you value a removable battery but that's up to you.

consider the budget inside $250 if its 1080p it would be IPS only and you would miss OLED screens 64 GB is impossible
lets talk what could happen
Don't expect below $300 for non LTE model.

Why not 410? It also supports 64 bit? And more important thing you will not get 610 in the current price rate.

just google it
410 is more battery efficient than 400 nothing great
check motorola 410 rumours benchmarks itz same as 400
only Adreno 306 not much difference
Lenovo made a $100 phone with 410
"Lenovo K3 Music Lemon"
64 Bit is of no use without 2GB ram

64-bit is useless if below 4GB RAM and the OS isn't 64-bit and/or the applications. Which most aren't.
@theoneofgod
yes i know but just consider the ""price point"".....4GB is impossible....check for ASUS zenfone 2 flagship 4GB variant for $300

I see a lot of comments like this. "Why bring out a new phone now that's not 64-bit" while those that are run on a 32-bit OS. It's silly

[Q] Asus Fonepad 8 vs Zenpad 8

Hello all ! I am looking to buy a tablet, basically a second device to my primary phone (Samsung Galaxy s4). For me calling is a must in the tablet and I am not looking at beyond $300 price mark. I finalized on Asus Fonepad 8 (Model:FE380CG) and Asus's newer model, the Zenpad 8 (Model: Z380KL). Brief specs of both as follows:
Asus Fonepad 8 FE380CG and Zenpad 8 Z380KL common specs:
=================================================
8" HD display with 1280X800px resolution
4000 mAh battery
2 GB RAM DDR3
MicroSD card slot
WiFi b/g/n, bluetooth 4.0, GPS with Glonass
Cameras on both tablets are average at best
Dimensions and weight more or less similar and for me doesn't matter.
Android lollipop 5.0 on both
Now the Fonepad 8 Specs:
=====================
Processor: Intel Atom Z3530 quad core cpu 1.33Ghz 64-bit
GPU: Power VR G6430
Dual SIM 3G dual standby
Front firing stereo speakers
Camera 2mp front and 5 mp back
Zepnad 8 Z380KL Specs:
===================
Processor: Qualcomm Spandragon 615 Octa core 1.8Ghz 64-bit
GPU: Adreno 405
Single SIM 4G LTE
Front firing single speaker
Camera: 2mp front and 8 mp back
Now after reading a lot about both of them I find that in benchmarks the intel atom processor is ahead of snapdragon 615 and without any heating issues. Secondly the GPU with intel processor though only a mid range gpu is almost twice as fast than the adreno 405 with the Snapdragon 615. Plus the the fonepad 8 has dual sim and dual front firing speakers for good audio. The zenpad 8 comes with a audio cover accessory which is like $65 more. So overall I am really confused which one to get please help!.
My main criteria is Performance and battery life with good calling.
Please reply early as my second phone is dead already and need a urgent replacement. Thanks to all !!
Some Asus user, please answer ??
sure this is going to be the expired answer of mine, but i just want to share though, i was just at the same situation but finally opted for fonepad 8. i'm satisfied with the device since it has a very good perfomance, battery life and no serious heat issue for running 3D games..

One more topic about Snapdragon 805 or to Exynos 5433

Hi everyone,
after reading almost every topic, test and comparison between the F and the C models, i still have a couple of question
it seems that the exynos model is slightly supperior to the snapdragon
what about the battery life of the two models on marshmallow ?
i read that they were two cameras, but are there really any differences ?
i am based in france, therefore with the C model i may not be able to use 4G, (i don't really care as my 4g is already turned of on my current phone), but will i see difference regarding gps, or cellular ?
many thanks for your help !
The Exynos 5433 is actually the superior chipset in my personal opinion as it is a 64bit Octocore SOC rather than a Quadcore 32bit SOC that the Snapdragon 805 is. While the Snapdragon 805 may have a higher clock speed rate, it has the tendency to run full throttle when doing anything. Which causes it to overheat pretty easily. The Exynos 5433 has a higher clocked Quadcore SOC for tasks that require allot of processing power and a lower clocked Quadcore SOC, which is used for general everyday use or tasks which require less processing power. Battery life is much better for the Exynos 5433 as it is more energy efficient than the Snapdragon 805. Camera performance is more or less the same with the only difference is that the Exynos 5433 uses Samsung's own inhouse 16MP ISOCELL sensor and the Snapdragon 805 variants use the Sony 16MP Exmor sensor. In terms of cellular connectivity both the N910C and N910F support the LTE/4G bands as they are both international devices. GPS coverage is probably about the same too.
Hello,
thanks a lot for your explanations

redmi note 3 pro of MI note

Hi all, I'm considering buying redmi note 3 pro(3gb/32gb) or MI note bamboo(3gb/16gb) for usd 40 less. I used my phone mostly for work and Web browsing, anyone with both devices please give your opinions. Thanks.

redmi note 3 pro - it's newer, better hardware, snapdragon 650 (6 cores, gpu adreno 510 @ 600mhz, 64bit, better mobile support, 16mp camera, bigger battery - 4000 mah)
though don't get me wrong the snapdragon 801 that's in the MI note bamboo is nice but that cpu pretty outdated now, it's only 32bit, 4 cores, gpu adreno 330 @ 400mhz - and that cpu is a power hog, so I doubt a 3000mah battery would last long with that processor, it's known to run hot and be power hungry. -
I also have a device with the snapdragon 800, I can say the snapdragon 650 in the rn3p gives a much smoother web-browsing experience.

Mi MAX 2 going to be launched. What do you think guys?

http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_max_2-8582.php
no improvement - 6.44" (1080x1920 pixels)
no improvement - 12MP (2160p)
good improvement - 6GB RAM (Snapdragon 626)
slight imprvement - 5000mAh (Li-Ion)
The SOC feels like a downgrade
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
big improvement - NFC
Some rumors about a SD 660 chipset. Otherwise I dont know how the 626 compares to 650. Is the camera alot better I might be interested anyway. My wife can get my mi max 1 then
The camera will be a great improvement (Sony imx 378)

Yeah, if that really is the SoC with 3 year old A53-s, its a downgrade.
Keep the price at around $300 for the 128gb version and it will be a steal even with a slightly better soc and camera.
SD626 isn't as good as SD652/3 but it has best endurance. With proper optimization, it may lead this area. SD626+5000mAh is definitely much much better.
Also these guys are downgrading SOC to keep costs same. See the way Redmi Note series did.

It's not about price, it's about supply... Xiaomi is too nobady to get on the 660 wagon. Even bigger and more reputable players on the market have hard times to secure 660 from Qualcomm in quantities they need.
Yes! That's the biggest point, true.
The topper here is SD625+5000mAh phone.
The 626 will get better battery life at the expense of performance, like the Redmi Note 3 vs Note 4 Snapdragon variants. I guess most people won't be able to tell the performance difference but they can definitely tell battery life changes.
The great thing about the 650/652 is that it could be really fast if you wanted it or really efficient. The 615 and 626 don't have that ability because they don't have powerful A72 cores. The 660 would be the best but I doubt that will make it into a lot of phones as it could jeopardize flagship sales... Who needs the latest 8xx SoC when a 66x at half the price is good enough?
I have the 650 soc Max, using it as a mini tablet at home. If the Max 2 have richer duel speakers; better contrast screen and 660 soc. I will likely upgrade, otherwise the current Max is good enough.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 has been released.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Smartphone Main Features:
Display: 6.44 Inch, 1920 x 1080
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa Core
RAM + ROM: 4GB RAM + 128GB/64GB ROM
Camera: 5.0MP front camera + 12.0MP 5 element lens, f/2.0 aperture back camera
No Snapdragon 660, only 625
Battery is 5300mAh

i can't believe it, snapdragon 650 to 625 is an upgrade???
it's a huge mistake and very disappointing
also i hoped for a better LCD which is the same
Look at the bright side... No need to upgrade....

Absolutely true Buddy! Let's upgrade next year when Max3 with possibly SD770 will be out.
Beat to attract new comers to huge screen phones not for an upgrade.

Relieved to read the specs of this phone. No need to upgrade if you own a Max. On the contrary, buy one when the priced fall a bit as the Max 2 is released. It has a better SoC.
