Asus Zenfone 5Z Update Brings Latest Android Security Patch, Improves Camera

Asus's latest flagship, the Snapdragon 845-powered Zenfone 5Z, has a highly competitive cost betoken of but Rs. 29,999. At that request price, the Zenfone 5Z undercuts rivals such every bit the OnePlus 6 and the Honour ten, and our first impressions of the new Asus device have been very positive, to say the least.

Merely days afterwards the device'due south arrival in India, Asus has now begun the rollout of a new OTA update which brings the latest Android Security Patch and also brings an improved camera, aside from a few enhancements and fixes for some small-scale bugs.

A central area which the latest update claims to fix is the photographic camera performance. The Zenfone 5Z packs a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 12MP (F1.8) and an 8MP (F2.0) sensor, and an 8MP (F2.0) selfie photographic camera. In our photography tests, we found that the Zenfone 5Z takes some bright quality shots in well-lit conditions, merely the low light photography, peculiarly with the front end camera, leaves a lot to be desired.

Also, in portrait manner shots, the Zenfone 5Z's software-backed sharpening effects seem a little too aggressive when you zoom into the images. Hopefully, the update has fixed those small camera problems.

The update, which is 56MB in size, besides brings an improved notification LED system, as well as NFC and a secure anthology. "Fixed occasional screen flicker problem after the start/end video recording", reads some other point in the official update changelog. Also, the update claims to heighten video call quality and the focus speed during video recording, in addition to improving the overall UI stability and battery management system. The update is being rolled out in a phased manner, then if you oasis't received it yet, it might go far in the next few days.
