On the whole we were very impressed with the Asus ZenFone 6. It is very affordable for the size and has potential to meet a new niche in the market.

Solid everyday performance, despite lagging behind in the benchmarks, means the ZenFone can keep up with everything you throw at it. On top of this is the sleek design which fits the display and home buttons into a relatively small space.

Though the screen does lack the absolute clarity of other flagships with a FHD display, it is still very usable and colour reproduction is very good. We just wish ASUS had opted for a 1080p panel.

In other areas, ASUS Launcher is functional but too cluttered – we recommend using Nova. ZenUI, though, is so simple and easy on the eye, it makes using the phone very satisfying. The battery will get you through the day comfortably, and the camera gives decent, if not spectacular, high-res photos.

You can buy the Asus ZenFone 6 from Currys for £249.99 inc VAT. It's a great value phone and can be relied upon for strong performance day-to-day.

Pros:

• Large 6″ screen.
• Beautiful UI.
• Solid real-world performance.
• 3300 mAh battery will comfortably last a whole day.
• Very good value for a 6″ phone.

Cons:

• Lacks a FHD display.
• ASUS Launcher is somewhat clunky.
• Charges slowly.

KitGuru says: Overall this is a great phone at a very affordable price too – especially considering it's a 6-inch device. ASUS seem to have transferred their quality in the peripheral sector to their phone manufacturing.
