Asus gave the 2E a 5-inch, 720p LCD screen, something of an indulgence for this market segment. The screen is one of the only parts of the phone with a clear advantage over the Moto E, which uses a 4.5-inch panel with a 960x540 resolution. The screen itself has somewhat muted colors and its default brightness is about 20% too dim for my liking, but it's sharp and readable once you adjust to it. The phone makes no particular effort to keep its bezels thin - it has a footprint of 148mm x 71mm, more than a centimeter taller than my old DROID Maxx (with the same size screen and capacitive navigation buttons). On the front of the phone this is taken up by a sizeable "chin" beneath the nav buttons and a wide, mostly blank top bezel, aside from a silver earpiece and stylized Asus logo. The capacitive keys have no backlight or raised markers, which makes them hard to find on the wide bottom bezel in the dark.

The ZenFone 2E is equipped with an 8 megapixel rear camera. It's about what you'd expect. Photos in good light are decent if not spectacular, while photos in low light are more or less junk (even with the included flash). It's acceptable for something in this price range, but don't expect miracles from a small sensor with cheap glass. Video can be recorded at 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps - a nice extra, even at the reduced resolution. 2ff7e9595c
