ASUS Zenfones Unleash a Zest for Price-friendly Technology

Two weeks ago, I received two new gadgets for review. While this is primarily a food, travel and lifestyle blog where I share my personal bites of those, I welcome from time to time chance to write reviews for gadgets, gizmos and finds… or constantly be on the lookout for them. Technology nowadays permeates the aspect of food, travel and lifestyle and keeps us up to speed and connects us in many ways, whether to socially share a food photo or download maps for traveling or apps for a foreign language tutorial or guide. My excitement started mounting when I saw that these boxes were ASUS-branded phones. ASUS, known worldwide as top-three consumer notebook vendor and maker of the world’s best-selling motherboards, is an award-winning enterprise that designs and manufactures products that sit at ease in the new digital era.

ASUS carries with it a broad portfolio that includes motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, displays, desktop and all-in-one PCs, notebooks, netbooks, servers, multimedia devices, wireless solutions, networking devices, tablets and now, market-affordable smartphones. I remember in 2011 ASUS launched the EEE pad / PC which won multiple awards meeting the needs of today’s digital home and office.
