Enhanced Reality. Asus's ZenFone AR combines Augmented with Virtual Reality: it is, after all, the first smartphone ever certified for Google Tango as well as Daydream. The most interesting question is whether or not its AR- and VR-features justify its hi...

Asus is no stranger to niche devices, although AR and VR are slowly beginning to shed this perception. Being the first mobile device to support both Tango and Daydream, Google's AR and VR platforms, the ZenFone AR retails as much less of a niche product...

Heats up very easily, Battery life is awful, Camera is very inconsistent with color capture; details sometimes as well, Confusing menu layouts, with no useful search option, Price pits it against some of the best in smartphones today...
If you're an Asus fan, we suggest waiting for the ZenFone 4 Pro to see if the problems found here are remedied in the company's true flagship device. If AR is super important to you, then you can buy the ZenFone AR and know that you'll have a decently per...

Owners of the ASUS ZenFone AR may be tempted to ask their friends and co-workers, "Do you even AR, bro?". Asking that question is a surefire way to solicit puzzled (and perhaps annoyed) looks, but once they see what the ZenFone AR is capable of, those dir...

If you're looking for a smartphone with average looks and somewhat above average performance, the Asus Zenfone AR fits that bill. The design is rather plebeian, but the screen, battery life, voice, and data performance all exceeded my expectations. The An...

As noted in our first impressions of the ASUS ZenFone AR, the phone doesn't look much different from the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe ( review ). You get a large 5.7-inch display up front, which means it isn't meant for a single-hand usage. It's quite thick when...

This is SlashGear's ASUS ZenFone AR Review – complete with Google Tango onboard. This is a review of both the device and the AR – reviewed together and separately. While the device's full worth does take Tango into account, we've also considered the idea...

Eight months ago, a phone called the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro arrived and brought with it a not-yet-fully-realized promise of advanced AR. It was a giant slab of a smartphone, built to Google's specifications for its Tango AR product, and it didn't make a great...

Google's Tango augmented reality technology isn't new, and its debut last year on Lenovo's Phab2 Pro left a lot to be desired. I mean, honestly, as neat as AR apps can be, an enormous phone with a mid-range chipset wasn't the best vehicle for them. Meanw...
Support for both Daydream VR and Google Tango, Great display, Impressive audio quality, Surprisingly good camera, Solid performance, even with Tango apps...
ASUS's ZenUI feels like overkill, Disappointing battery life, Many Tango experiences miss the mark, Not compelling if you're not interested in Tango...
Lenovo's Phab2 Pro might have been first, but the ZenFone AR's superior hardware makes it the best Tango device yet. That's not really saying much, though: The Tango experience isn't much better than it was a year ago, and there still isn't much there to...

Google has partnered with another manufacturer to produce a phone with Tango on board, for better or for worse. Stepping up to the plate this time is Asus with the ZenFone AR. The first phone ever to support both Tango and Daydream VR comes in a much, muc...
The display is a tolerable size with a crisp resolution, nice color balance, and good viewing angles, It's pretty good, especially coming from Asus. Most outdoor photos come out looking nice, indoor and lowlight shots are hit or miss, though, Even though...
It feels weak and it's quite loud. The noise it makes is also really, really annoying, To say that it's disappointing would be an understatement. It's subpar with normal use, annoyingly bad with heavy usage, and absolutely deplorable with Tango, I am stil...
So where does this leave us? The ZenFone AR isn't a bad phone, but it isn't a great one, either. In the end, I don't that it's worth buying currently. Tango is cool and all, but you'll likely play with it a few times and never open it (or the apps) again...

The Asus Zenfone AR is a study in contrasts. On one hand, it has last year's Snapdragon 821 processor. but it also packs up to 8GB of RAM. It has three rear cameras. but only one is used for taking photos. And while the Zenfone AR is on the bleeding e...
