The Zenfone 2 is a device that flew under the radar of many in 2015. As the year closes out, it's still a fantastic phone at a great price and compares very naturally to the OnePlus 2 that is oh so hard to get your hands on. I can very easily recommend...

Thank you, Asus! In the US we have very few unlocked quality smartphones with 4G LTE that appeal to those who want and can afford something more than low end Moto and Lumia phones. The Asus ZenFone 2 is less than half the price of today's flagships, and...
The ZenFone 2E is competent. It'll do. It's not spectacular in any particular department, but it doesn't fall flat in any either, with the notable exception of performance. If it was the only phone available as a choice to me (and I didn't have any...

If you're in the market for a new phone, you've got a data plan with AT&T, T-Mobile USA, or any other GSM-based network, and you're upgrading from a phone that's a couple years old or older, the ASUS ZenFone 2 is a SOLID choice. Especially at this price...
I don't really know where the competition in this part of the market will go, as it's hard to imagine that ASUS or any other vendor could possibly provide even better specs or more features at this price point.
