Design
Asus's trademark concentric design carries over to the ZenFone line and is featured on the back rear key (see third photo) to complement the hairline metallic finish back cover. Each of the concentric circles features with spin pitch of only 0.13mm, which delivers the mesmerizing visual effect, just like its big brother Asus ZenBook.
It is designed to comfortably fit your palm for ultimate comfort without sacrificing style with its curved back and thinnest edge measuring just 3.9mm. The ergonomic design offers a nice grip, especially compared with thin-yet-flat design of iPhone 6 plus, which people often accidentally drop due to its flat and slippery surface. This phone definitely looks and feels expensive but the price is super affordable at only Php 7,295.
