HARDWARE & SOFTWARE


            Asus zenfone 4 A450CG  comes with  1.2 GHz Dual core Intel Atom z2520 processor (with Hyper threading makes it Quad core)  coupled with 1GB of RAM.Even if Intel Atom z2520 is  Dual core in hardware, it is hyper threaded to appear as quad core for the os with performance equivalent to a quad core processor,it  sports a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU which delivers a very good gaming performance for the device.In our test with Nenamark 2 the device scored 58.90fps  which is a good  score .When it comes to antutu Benchmark the device scored 14825 in the latest Antutu v4.5 and 22180 with Antutu v3.3, which is little unusual,usually the Antutu 4.5 score will be higher than Antutu v3.3  ,also  you could see the device scored 22180 with Antutu v3.3 which is a very high score (Micromax Canvas knight cameo scored only 18699)but the same device score  low score of 14825 in Antutu v4.5(Micromax Canvas knight cameo scored  22737) ,but considering the performance this device is just amazing the interface runs buttery smooth and hd video play back is without any buffering .

                 Asus zenfone 4 A450CG  has 8GB of internal storage  out of which  4.6GB is user available.In case of RAM out of 1GB, 500MB is user available which is great to have and will ensure fluid performance of the device . The device also sports a micro SD card slot which can support a maximum of 64GB.Asus zenfone 4 A450CG comes with almost all the sensors ie Accelerometer, Proximity, ,Orientation,Magnetic field ,Virtual orientation sensor  which will ensure precision over gaming and navigation.But apart from having this much of sensors the device lacks the Ambient light sensor so there the user cant use  auto brightness function in this device.

             Asus  has provided the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat for this device.The user interface of the device has a lot  customization especially in camera department and features like Quick memo,Reading mode,Play to,Easy mode,Do it Later, Ultra power saving mode provide a very nice user experience.The UI also provides option to install and move apps to memory card.  
              The other connectivity options include Bluetooth v4.0  with A2DP & EDR,USB v2.0 ,wifi,3G(HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps).Asus zenfone 4 A450CG  also comes with non removable 1750mAH battery ,we have used this device for about  60 mins and the battery level dropped from 98% to 76% almost 22 % drop with in 1 hrs ,during which we have used that 20min camera,5min video playback and some bechmarking at maximum display brightness  which shows the battery backup is not that bad considering the specs.So for the hardware of the device i will give a rating of 7.25/10
