My Favorite Phone - Asus Zenfone2

One person can have many reasons for liking one or the other new mobile devices. To judge which is my favorite device is going to change from time to time. As the technology is changing faster than the time, means we will have more advanced device with much higher capabilities.

Its hard to say which is my favorite device as it keeps changing with time & technology. After thinking through it hard enough I have chosen one - the chosen one. Well before I reveal the name I thought its better to note down the logical reasons for my choice. So I will divide it in two parts one was the must things which I won't compromise on for my own reasons.


Criteria : Must YESes for me

1. It should be based on Android. Well the simple reason for me is that I am used to Android and it has the highest number applications available in any of the play stores as compared to that of other Operating Systems.
2. Both Front & Rear Camera. Its must for me for the obvious reason that I am very social in different social media channels like instagram, twitter, etc. So for me Selfie is a necessity & not luxury. So both the cameras are basic needs.
3. Higher resolution device close to 1080p resolution. The main reason for this was I like watching video & playing games in mobile phones. So looks and feel of the display has to be good.
4. Higher RAM. Many of the devices will show good space and processor but are low in RAM. So one have a frequent Lags and slowness in device. For me this is to be avoided at all the cost. I just hate any ANR or Force Close dialogs , ahhh.... I mean any application crashes or activity getting freezed.

My Choice: My Favourite Phone : ASUS Zenfone 2

Well I will list the reasons why it should be in anyone's best list based on parameters which made me love Zenfone 2. 

• 4 GB RAM. Once I heard it, I was like WOW. No more slow devices. No more applications saying that they will crash (ANRs or Force Closes) soon. Typically most of the other devices fulfilling my criteria has either 1 GB , 2GB and few with 3 GB RAM. For me 4GB RAM was a key differentiation.
• Games were faster and very responsive.
• Applications were fast & smooth. Literally No ANRs
• Touch & responsiveness gave a very nice feeling & experience.

• Quad Core Atom 2.3 GHz processor is well matched with higher RAM. This means that neither the performance of Chipset or RAM is going to be a bottleneck. I being a power user, aka heavy user, this fulfills my need as a power user.

• 13 MP Rear Camera & 5 MP Front Camera, meant that I will have much more clear and beautiful pictures. The pictures and selfie taken can be shared to social medias like Instagram. Camera is fairly simple & easy to use with all the features like White Balance, 1080 P Video Capture, etc. In short, great pictures with nice quality and ease paired with a good response time.

• Good display with 5.5 inch Display with resolution of 1080 * 1920 pixels.This gives good pictures taken more clearer and sharper. Corning Gorilla Glass adds more to protect the display by making it scratch free.

• I loved the design of flip cover. So beautiful & amazing. It made me recall some classic phones like Razer with those watches. I simply love this design.

• Dual SIM - I have two mobile numbers and I wanted to keep both while migrating from Moto G to ASUS Zenphone 2. It adds an extra comfort to stay the same instead of carrying to mobile devices.

• Affordable. Many of times a good device with a good specs are heavily priced. But that's not the case with  ASUS Zenfone 2.

In simple words, if you are a power user who is social and expects phone to work well and in a very responsive way with good pictures and gaming performance, #Myzenfone2 is definitely the best pick in the present lot of devices.

#SniffSniff -- Investigations to unravel the mystery

I was one of the lucky ones selected to attempt to unearth the mystery surrounding the activity #SniffSniff. I'm using my investigative skills to uncover the mystery of #SniffSniff atBlogAdda.

Day 1
One fine evening of June, the door bell rang. I just happen to sneak who is outside, I noticed a young lad trying to fix his hair in my bikes mirror. He was waiting for someone to open the door. I opened the door & to my surprise I got a blue colored box with thunder bolts. I started wondering if I should open the box or just smell it? Is it something to smell first and then open? What could be inside?

After all this activity was all about puzzle & all about words. I tried doing #SniffSniff, but of no use.

After doing all the sniff sniffs, I decided to open the box as I was not able to control my anxiety & excitement. On opening the blue box, it had a card & a clip. With that started the spy brain of mine in Bomkesh Bakshi's style.

That whole day I kept thinking until wife started giving me a different look as If I have gone crazy, by talking to myself. I was literally force to stop talking that day.

Day 2:-

New day and I was ready to start a fresh investigation. The clues were 

• A clip
• A Postcard
• With a Man's picture
• And few puzzling texts

My first guess was obvious that it has to do something with odour. But then there are two kinds of Odour : Good & Bad. So as a investigator I thought to enact both these types, which can help me get more ideas & clues.

For Bad odour, the one most easily found and available in all homes are the dustbins.

It kind of gave a hint that clip is definitely for saving one from bad odour as it had a CLIP. Still I went ahead with scenario 2, which is good odour. Good odour can be from flowers and as usual I was at the potential crime scene.

Well with flowers one will not apply CLIPs on their nose. And I was heading towards some conclusion.

It has to do with SAVING / PROTECTING from a BAD ODOUR.

It has something to do with MEN.

Still it has many un-answered question --> for Men or from Men or both? 

What kind of bad odour -->  Of bathroom or car or deodrant?

Day 3:

While we were waiting for the surprise my 7 months old kid also started participating in the activity.

A new surprise arrived in a cubical box. It contained a small jute bag with a tag #SniffSniff. As usual I started smelling it and it smelled more like good odour of coffee.

I started wondering since it was a good smell, it could be a coffee flavoured soap or fragrance, which will save males from a bad odour.

I opened the jute bag and I was right, it was roasted coffee beans. Now I have to look to connect the dots. I started connecting them.

Day 4:

I started playing with beans & thinking while waiting for the arrival of next hint. The wait was killing me.

Day 5:

The last clue had finally arrived, it had a white colored mask. 

Now the investigation had to reach & find the real product. Mask is to save people from air pollution. So was wondering is it has to do with bad air or unwanted air or doctor. Well I was totally confused and still with some certainty I could only say it was surely some DEODRANT which will save us from BAD ODOUR.

Day 6:

Finally it was time to verify if the investigation gave the correct report. The final product had finally arrived & it was delivered by the same young polite & smart teenager at our doorstep. It was well packed & presented to us in a nice box. I was really excited & was waiting to reveal it & unbox it.

To my good surprise it was Nivea Deodorizer which was saying us to say "No to body odour". 

I will accept that I guessed it will be deodrant, but I was not very precise.

First thing which I did after unboxing was to smell it & apply it. To my surprise :

1. It smelled very FRESH
2. I applied it on the morning, still I didn't had any sign of odour at the end of the day. It lasts DAY LONG
3. While applying there was no gas --> GAS FREE

I was very happy with the way the product was revealed & with the complete experience of the investigation.

I am using NIVEA MEN - BODY DEODORIZER & I am loving it.

Thank you BlogAdda & Nivea. I enjoyed #SniffSniff
