"Phone performance is great... 

Display looks beautifully bright & colors are accurate...

Phone is snappy with no Lag...

Camera performance is also great with AI features...

Dual Speakers output is far better than other mobiles...

Best part is you can still use your old/new Micro SD cards if you want...

Go for it, if you want SD845 mobile & Sony Flagship camera (same in Mi 8 upcoming in India)

Best deal under 26999 with ICICI offer".

"Naga Bharat Chilamkuri" says:

"I am a great fan of ASUS for the past 5 years. The only drawback I felt for Asus not being a competitor is due to its pricing in India. People usually choose the budget phone with multi-features. This year ASUS not doing a single mistake at all. They started with Zenfone Max Pro M1 which is astonishing considering the price and features competing Redmi Note 5. Now, with a premium phone with all the features at 30k,thats simply amazing. I usually surf a lot of smartphones over the years. I am a big fan of LG followed by Samsung initially, but Samsung has taken over an edge over LG these days. Now I am using S9+,which is the best smartphone as of now. Coming to Zenfone 5Z, here are my ratings:

Display - 10/10

Beautiful colours and viewing angle is exceptional.

Rear Camera - 9/10 (Considering Low light inside my house)

Front Camera - 8/10 (Considering Low light inside my house)

Exterior conditions,its amazing. But in low light, a bit improvement is needed. While zooming, there seems to be a lot of noise.

UI - 10/10

I am always a great fan of ASUS UI. Simply at its best with no much bloatware.

Fast Charging - 10/10

From 10% to 90% of charging, it took me approx 60mins(<)

Processor - 10/10

Runs like a bullet train. Never ever seen such fast processing even in my S9+.

Audio - 10/10

ASUS is always good at its Audio over the years,now continuing the same.

Ear Phones - 10/10

They are like a real Pro earphones from ASUS. Companies like Oneplus who say they are premium smartphones is a good slap for them, because none of the smarphone ever becomes premium when it lags a Pro earphones. Music lovers can enjoy so much with earphones.

Heating - No Heating

Lagging - Zero Lagging

AI features - 9/10

I can't say 10 out of 10 as I am checking each every AI feature and using them. Hopefully it will satisfy me in all features.

Build Quality & Design- 10/10

When ASUS its a premium phone, it really is. Top notch build quality from ASUS,never ever seen before.

Security- 10/10

Just like in the launch event of ASUZ Zenfone 5Z, finger print lock and face unlock are at extremes.

Overall, I would like to say that for all the guys to leave china products like Oneplus and join Taiwanese products like ASUS. you will never ever get disappointed. With flat 3k discount with ICICI, getting a premium smartphone with all the features we need at 30k is flawless".

"Prashanth Leo" is starstruck by Zenfone 5Z photography and he considers that Zenfone Z5 beats OnePlus 6 in still photographs and video quality, here's what he has to say:

"I have Oneplus 6 and this is my comparison for people who are confused....

Display- Oneplus 6 blacks are good because of amoled but when it comes to punchier colours no doubt Asus has one of the best IPS panels.

Performance- Both are similar but Oneplus has a slight edge here because of oxygen os but Asus has come long way with loads of features and has little bugs hope they fix it through Fota.

camera- OMG!! this where I was shocked Asus beats Oneplus 6 in still photography and Oneplus 6 slightly better in terms of video quality.

Battery- Both are very similar in this aspect and will last you a entire day and Everyone knows of dash charging but Asus day charging is also very good.

speaker: Oneplus 6 no where in the picture, Asus with outdoor mode on is like a mini Bluetooth speaker wow!! hats off

On any day for the price Asus is offering with the discount I would blindly go for it.. no doubt 

I personally like Meteor Silver".

Another certified buyer from Flipkart "Amitojdeep Singh"shares his honest views regarding Zenfone 5Z, here you go:

"I got my Zenfone 5Z on the release day itself and it's holding up great so far.
I am coming from a Pixel 2 XL which unfortunately got stolen and had Oneplus 3 and HTC M8 priorly.
Pros:
1. Snapdragon 845 and AI Boost for better RAM management
2. Accurate and adjustable Portrait mode - better than Oneplus 6
3. Low light camera is best in segment though not comparable to true flagships
4. Display is great
5. Dual speakers are pretty loud and crisp, though not stereo like the pricier Pixel 2XL
6. Solid build and free case, it's a bit easier to handle than Oneplus 6 and way better than Pixel
7. AI features are cool but I am yet to test them fully

Cons:
1. A bit of iPhone clone look which is both good and bad
2. Selfie camera is not a strength
3. No IP certification or even claimed splash resistance".

So, we've got the reactions from ZenFone 5Z buyers and looks like Asus has won the battle here. If it still doesn't convince you that Asus Zenfone 5Z is more worth buying Smartphone than OnePlus 6 then you either need a doctor or you need to look at the pricing of Asus Zenfone 5Z and then compare it with what OnePlus is giving you. This is clearly more than enough from Asus in 29,999 INR (438$). The 4th Quarter of 2018 is coming near to us and we've already got the speculated price, specifications and release date of OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 7 which you might want to take a look at. Besides we've also thrown a Meme party celebrating Asus Zenfone 5Z's victory over OnePlus 6.
