Asus ZenFone 5 Officially Launched to Rival the iPhone X

Few days ago, we talked about the leaked specs of Asus ZenFone 5 and it's notch feature. Well, the phone has been officially launched, it does come with a “lip” (sorry, notch) which the company claims is 26% smaller than that on iPhone X, and which can be hidden using a wallpaper. Another interesting feature is Zenimoji, similar to Apple's Animoji, an avatar that can be used in video chats, live-streaming, and regular text chats. So, it's alright if we call Asus ZenFone 5 an iPhone X clone.

There's also the AI Ringtone which intelligently adjusts the ringer volume according to the ambient noise level, so the phone rings louder on a noisy street and quieter in a serene hotel lounge.

Furthermore, Asus ZenFone 5 comes with AI Scene Detection as part of it camera spec, to analyse the subject and match it to one of its 16 scene types.
