this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
Now the primary camera was a bit disappointing
reveal two microSIM card slots and a microSD card slot
they have put in a lot of development in the camera department
somehow the display seems a bit dull
it does not support HDR videos like many flagship phones
there was no way to disable the notch
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness

not fully sold on the AI features of the phone
this looks quite a bit like an iPhone X running Android
more expensive than competing handsets
No software updates
no security patches
nothing
Battery life also leaves a lot to be desire
it does not support 5GIs Asus
it does not support wireless charging
saturated color mode and your photos will appear oversaturated
it with software black bars
no compensation for parts of the phone that need accurate color
some entry-level phones with notches
no mere iPhone X knockoff
weak points
means fewer notification icons fit in the notch alcoves
fails to recognize your finger
the 8-Megapixel sensor is really terrible at capturing details turning
ZenFone 5 is not only a Moto G killer
little Moto G having almost no advantage
it lacks in picking in detail
quality is not as great as the main one with grainier videos
wide-angle camera is poor and you
it would only show the first line of the shortcut buttons
cloud This mode cannot be turned off and is on by default
an empty plate is actually a Sunset
Sony TV Wi-Fi No Internet Access Issue
