    Are Asus phones (Zenfone) good?

    I saw the Zenfone 4 Max at my local Best Buy and I’m very intrigued. It looks very nice for a budget phone ($200), the software was smooth and easy to use, and the camera seemed pretty fast. Plus it has a gigantic 5000mAh battery. Specs: 5.5” 720p display (not as bad in person as it sounds)...

    Is ZenUI similar to Touchwiz?

    I don’t have any experience with Asus phones, but after seeing the Zenfone 4 Max at my local Best Buy I noticed the software looks very similar to Samsung’s Touchwiz. How similar are the two Android skins?
