The Asus ZenFone 5 is a very solid phone in the sub-range Rs. 10,000 price bracket. It is powered by a speedy Intel CPU, which also supports 64-bit applications and has 2GB RAM as opposed to 1GB of the Moto E 2nd Gen . While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 is a powerful chip, the combination of the extra RAM and the fast Intel Atom Z2560 processor could make it the more powerful offering between the two. In addition, the Rs. 9,999 variant of the Asus ZenFone even throws in 16GB of memory and a MicroSD card slot, which is the double of what Motorola offers for its devices.
The big difference between the two is on the software side of things. The Asus ZenFone is based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat running the Zen UI, which is nice, but we feel the Moto E 2nd Gen could be very good as it runs on Android Lollipop 5.0 running an almost stock Android interface.
The Asus ZenFone 5 lacks 4G support, while the $149 Moto E 2nd Gen throws in 4G, which could become important in the long run.
The Asus ZenFone should pull ahead in the photography department as its 8-megapixel camera is perhaps the best we have seen on a phone costing less than Rs. 10,000. The Motorola Moto E 2nd Gen has an upgraded 5(mp)-megapixel camera, but it does not have a flash and overall we fear it could be inferior to the Asus ZenFone 5 smartphone.
By Design wise, the Moto E should come out ahead as its curvaceous customisable design is attractive. We can make that out even from the press renders.On the flip side , the Asus ZenFone 5 has a blocky design, which is quite boring, though it is solid in terms of build.
