Asus Zenfone 6


Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! Zenfone devices have been GARBAGE for years. They finally made a good one. Would you grab this for 500$?

Asus just announced their Zenfone 6 and before you close this window just because, I said the word  'Zenfone', I get it! They have been making bad phones for years. For the past 4 years, ever since Zenfone 2 to Zenfone 5, they just had good hardware with terrible software. Zenfone 6
changed all of that!
               They don't have any bloatware on this phone! When you look at the installed apps, They have only 2 inbuilt apps excluding the Google ones which makes the phone super-clean. I think they finally made a phone suitable for this 500$ competitive market. I think they are aiming for 500$, it may not be their official price, but at least that's the price I am told.

For that money, you get hardware features that are really solid. You get a Snapdragon 855, 6 GB of RAM, there's 64 GB of storage which is expandable, a headphone jack, stereo speakers and a lot more. There's a Google Assistant button on the right side as well.


The battery is also quite big, it's a 5000 mAH battery. It doesn't support crazy fast charging, it goes up to 90 Watts, which is reasonably fast. This is a comfortable 2-day battery for the average users, on heavy usage, you will get around a day and a half.
This screen is an all-screen. It's a 92% screen to body ratio which makes the design aesthetic and unique. Now there's one thing that I don't like about the screen that is an LCD panel otherwise it is fine. It is noticeably an inferior screen. Its 1080p, bright and the size is great for my hand and also it is a flat screen which is again great.








If you've seen the presentation of this device, you'll realize that the camera is a flip camera. I have mixed feelings for that thing actually. The photographs seem on the level of OnePlus, but I feel that the processing is not ideal for my eyes. You may like it! The camera is cool and innovative as the phone is able to use the back camera as it's front camera also. The face unlocks and selfies get a bit slow though, due to the time taken in flipping the camera. You can also make the camera go up and down for different angles without actually moving the phone. You can get good wide angle selfies and an awesome panorama mode. These features are neat but not all that useful.


If you are looking at this phone, you are probably also looking at Pixel 3xl and OnePlus6T from last year. I think Zenfone 6 is offering something very unique so this is a pretty good option.

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...

16' MacBook Pro

These are my thoughts on 2019 16' MacBook Pro with improved thermals, better specs and new Radeon Pro 5000M Series GPUs. This laptop has been rumoured forever and many people had this device on their wishlists as well. This device is something special. The 16' inch screen is the least interesting thing to me. It looks like this is a device launched after a long time where they really cared about what users actually want. This laptop is slightly bigger and heavier than the 15' model which is obvious. The top of the keyboard now has a physical escape key and the keyboard is no longer a Butterfly keyboard it is now upgraded to a Scissor-Switch keyboard. It has a very similar mechanism to an iMac. The key-press travel has increased from 0.5mm to 1mm. It is a significant improvement and anybody who does not like MacBooks for the new keyboards; " Welcome home". The tried to use the Butterfly keyboard but I am glad that they are done with them, The second thi...

Surface Pro X

This is my review of the Microsoft Surface Pro X. Do you think this ARM-based tablet can compete with the iPad Pro or Surface Pro? Surface Pro X is a product which was clearly designed to compete with what iPads offer. This is a thin, elegant looking, magnetically attached tablet that has an ergonomic design that looks good with good battery life and still runs Windows 10 for the functionality that people want in a computing device. I am gonna start with hardware and then I will come to user experience. This is not a super-light machine. It is slightly lighter than the regular Surface Pro. It has a bigger screen and thinner bezels and is heavier than an iPad Pro. The finish of this device is black anodized aluminium. I also found that some of the edges have got sharper. Due to the sharp edges, this device becomes prone to damages which generally should not be the case in premium Surface devices. Protect this stuff! I highly recommend a skin for this device. This is a go...
