Design

Asus ZenFone Live L1

The Live L1 sports a Metal unibody that’s non-removable, it has a triple slot tray to house two Nano SIMs and a memory card. There’s no fingerprint scanner at the rear, as the company opted for a more reliable and trending facial identification feature.

Although this might be a bummer to people who don’t like the Face ID feature and prefer the fingerprint scanner. The rear camera and LED flash are vertical at the top left corner. While the ASUS logo takes center stage. It’s available in Gold, Black, Pink and Blue colors.

ASUS brought the bezel-less trend to its Live L1 smartphone aiming to dominate the budget market with it. The screen dishes out an 18:9 aspect ratio and ready to offer users the Full View experience. However, the top and bottom aren’t gone completely.

Focusing on the bezel-less screen, the 5.45-inch HD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is quite stunning. It has a screen resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels and 295 pixel per inch density for clear visuals. When in landscape mode, it displays stunning visuals and brings out the details of your games.
