Asus Zenfone Live

The Asus Zenfone Live is the newest addition to the Zenfone family. The Asus Zenfone Live misses out on many features that the Asus Zenfone 3 series provides. The device is aimed at users with a live streaming requirement and real-time beautification at an affordable price. The Asus Zenfone live has a no non-sense metal body design. The device has a footprint of 141.2 x 71.7 x 8 mm and weighs 120 grammes.

Even though the Asus Zenfone Live boasts about its live streaming capabilities; it has a traditional 13MP primary camera without any advanced focusing technologies like phase-detection or laser autofocus. However, the front-facing camera is a 5MP unit with autofocus technology; it has an LED flash too which is essential for live streaming in low-light or pitch dark conditions. The main feature of these cameras though is the beautification feature where the device can enhance your face while you are streaming live on social media, or video streaming websites, like Facebook and YouTube. It has different levels of beautification from a scale of 1 to 10. The cameras also benefit from the dual MEMS microphones that can help eliminate the unwanted background noise.

As the device’s compact footprint suggests, it has a 5-inch LCD display with HD resolution and IPS technology. Asus has not yet provided any information about the display protection. The battery capacity of the Asus Zenfone Live is a bummer. It has a tiny 2,650 mAh battery, and it certainly points towards the device’s capability to stream for a long time, as the live streaming is a very power consuming process.

The Asus Zenfone Live supports dual-SIM card with 4G LTE support. Apart from that, it has Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, Bluetooth v4.0, microUSB v2.0, and an FM Radio.  The Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset is in charge of providing processing power on the Asus Zenfone Live. The quad-core chipset is mated to 2GB of RAM for multitasking. The internal storage is 16GB, and it can be expanded with a microSD card.
