Seeing from afar and on-screen the ZenFone 2 model, I was enamored on how simple and elegant it looks perfect for a modern mom like me. And, it didn’t disappoint. ZenFone 2 is definitely beautiful, glamorous and precisely crafted in actual. It has a premium feel because of the outstanding metallic hairline finish that actually feels like metal when you touch it.

The curved back has volume-control key on the rear of the phone easily accessible by the user’s index finger. It also has an incredibly slim profile with 3.9mm ultra-thin edge and 0.4mm laser drilled speaker.
