Here’s another comparison that might draw your attention. We’re comparing two massive phablets – Asus’ Zenfone 6 and LG’s G Flex, with Huawei’s Ascend P7 thin phone, which seems to be the best buy because it provides the highest screen resolution, the best secondary camera, but the G Flex is faster. So, it’s up to you to decide which phone deserves your money.
Displays and sizes
The Zenfone 6 and the G Flex have displays of the same size – 6inches, resolution – 720x1280pixels and pixel density – 245ppi, but the first one is using IPS technology and has its display protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, while the other one has a Curved P-OLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 on top of it. Plus, its display and body are curved and the back panel has a self-healing coating. The Ascend P7 has a 5inches IPS LCD screen with a good resolution of 1080x1920pixels and 441ppi, and it benefits from Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
The slimmest phone among the three is the Ascend P7 (6.5mm), being followed by the G Flex (8.7mm) and the Zenfone 6 is the thickest (9.9mm).
The order of widths is: Ascend P7 (68.8mm), G Flex (81.6mm), Zenfone 6 (84.3mm); the Zenfone 6 is the tallest (166.9mm), being followed by the G Flex (8.7mm) and the Ascend P7 is the shortest (139.8mm). And the order of weights is: Ascend P7 (124grams), G Flex (177grams), Zenfone 6 (196grams).
Hardware and OS
These phones are very different internally and yet, the G Flex is by far the fastest device among the three, featuring a quad core 2.26GHz Krait 400 processor, combined with a Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset and an Adreno 330 GPU. The second most powerful device is the Ascend P7, which is powered by a 1.8GHz Cortex-A9 processor, also with four cores, but which is supported by a HiSilicon Kirin 910T chipset and uses a Mali-450MP4 GPU, while the Zenfone 6 is using a decent combination consisting of a dual core processor clocked at 2GHz, based on an Intel Atom Z2580 SoC and uses a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU.
All three smartphones host 2GB of RAM, but the internal storage varies: the Ascend P7 has 16GB of ROM, expandable up to 64GB; the Zenfone 6 comes with two variants of 16 and 32GB, also expandable up to 64GB, while the G Flex hosts 32GB of built in memory but it doesn’t support microSD card for expansion.
As for the OS, the G Flex is the less privileged one, because it still runs on Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and has Optimis 3.0 UI add on, the Zenfone 6 comes with v4.3 (Jelly Bean), but thankfully it received the 4.4.2 (KitKat) version and uses ASUS Zen UI add-on, while the Ascend P7 already comes loaded with v4.4.2 (KitKat) and Emotion 2.3 UI on top of it.
Cameras
All three smartphones are equipped with 13MP back cameras and share features such as autofocus, LED flash, geo tagging, face detection, touch focus or panorama. However, the Ascend P7 and the G Flex are able to record video in HD – the Huawei phone at 1080p@30fps and the LG phone at 1080p@60fps. As for the front cameras, the winner of this section is the Ascend P7 with the 8MP front shooter, which is excellent for taking selfies. The other phones have front cameras about the same resolution – 2MP.
Batteries
All three smartphones have non-removable batteries, but the one with the biggest capacity is the G Flex (3500mAh), which allows you to talk up to 15hours. The Zenfone 6 comes after with the 3300mAh battery, which claims to lasts up to 28 hours when talking on 3G, and the Ascend P7 has only a 2500mAh battery which allows a total duration of talktime of 14hours on 3G and 22hours on 2G.
