5 Power Tips for Your New ZenFone 4

5 Power Tips for Your New ZenFone 4

Be a ZenUI power user in a jiffy

We have been using the ZenFone 4 as a daily driver for quite a while, and we’re happy at how ZenUI has become less bloated and more efficient. Even with the reduction of bloatware, we found a few nifty ways to make the ZenFone 4 a breeze to use with ZenUI 4.0. Check out the few new features we discovered with the ZenFone 4:

 

Avoid pressing that power button

Aside from using the fingerprint scanner to unlock and turn on the screen of the phone, there’s a way to turn the screen off and on without touching the power button. All you have to do is to enable Touch Gesture (which is found in ASUS Customized Settings>ZenMotion).

With this option, you can just double tap your phone’s homepage to turn off the phone’s screen. For waking up the phone, you have the option of either swiping up or double tapping your screen. These options  helps you lessen your use of the ZenFone 4’s power button, which is the next closest thing to a full gesture-based UI.

 

Quickly organize your apps

Are you lazy when it comes to organizing your apps by folder? Just select Smart Group (found at the App Drawer’s options page), and ZenUI will take care of organizing your apps by folder. The option worked 90% of the time, saving you from the hassle of placing apps into folders one by one.

 

Shoot like a pro

Sometimes, the regular lens is not enough to fit everything in the frame. With that, simply select the ZenFone 4’s Wide-Angle mode, and you get a bigger 120-degree view, helping you fit more within the photo. If you want more creative freedom, switch to the ZenFone 4’s Pro mode, where you can adjust settings like White Balance, Shutter Speed, ISO, Manual Focus, and Exposure Compensation.

Also, you can shoot in RAW (while in Pro mode) to have an image file with more than enough data for post-processing.

Get your best display viewing experience

Aside from Adaptive Brightness and Screen Color mode, you can do minor tweaks with your display by activating Auto Color Temperature (found in the notification panel or via Settings). By activating this option, the phone intelligently adjusts the display’s color temperature in all conditions–from viewing photos, reading texts, to playing games.

 

Optimize your music listening experience

What makes the ZenFone 4’s HiFi chip quite different is that it has a database of various headphone/earphone profiles from different brands. If you are lucky enough, you can select from over a hundred brands (and models) from ASUS’ AudioWizard profile. Once you find your headphone model (or the one closest to it), AudioWizard will calibrate your headphones to the best possible sound profile.

Another quick tip: You can save up to five audio profiles with AudioWizard, so you can easily switch audio profiles to match your favorite set of headphones.
