Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB

Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB 's size

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" is 71.0mm wide, 144.5mm tall, and 10.0mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB", it weighs about 135.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

In giving an overall rating to the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB 's screen

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has a 5.0inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The resolution of the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB"'s screen is pretty much standard. It shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it might prove to be a bit dissatisfying for those who wish to better enjoy their photos, videos, or games.

The CPU performance of Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has a run-of-the-mill processing power of 1.3GHz×4(4.0-cores), so while you'll be able to play 2D games with ease, it's a little lacking for 3D games. Outside of games, the phone runs most things quite smoothly, but certain apps can cause a bit of slowdown.

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

The overall operational speed of the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" rates as a mid-range smartphone. While you will probably not experience much sluggishness or lag with normal use, we recommend a phone at least one tier higher if you want to enjoy games or videos.

Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB 's storage capacity

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has 16.0GB of data storage, which is plenty for taking photos, but for people who frequently shoot videos or have lots of games installed, this may not feel like enough space.

Since the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

The camera function of Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB

The main camera of the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has a capacity of 8.0MP pixels, and is adequate for normal use. But some users may feel dissatisfied with the picture quality.

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" comes equipped with a 2.0MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The battery performance of Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB"'s battery capacity is 2070.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Overall assessment of Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB

The "Zenfone Go ZC500TG 16GB" is a relatively high-performance smartphone. If you plan to use it as your main smartphone, you may find it slightly inconvenient, but within tolerable limits.
