What is the performance of the Asus Live L1 smartphone, following the reviews

Design

Overall, the Zenfone Live L1 body is comfortable to hold. Why? Because the body of this handphone is quite light in the hand. This smartphone weighs 140 grams. The smartphone body made of plastic is also not slippery when held. Overall, the physical appearance of this smartphone is very simple, unfortunately, Asus Zenfone Live L1, there is no fingerprint to access it.

Unlike the Zenfone Max Pro M1, this cell phone has a speaker and micro USB plug on the bottom and a 3.5mm audio plug at the top. This construction is quite common, though not as practical as putting everything on one side (at the bottom). Next, the Zenfone Live L1 supports dual SIM and micro SD cards. Configure it the same as Max Pro M1. Two SIM slots and one micro SD. I found the SIM card position not as good as the Max Pro. Hopefully, this only relates to my card pieces.

Software and Interface

Although it is classified as an entry-level smartphone, ASUS has immersed Android 8.0 Oreo with a little feel of the ASUS UI interface. On the official website of ASUS mentioned that Android 8.0 is a lightweight version or Android Oreo Go Edition that can run on entry-level smartphones or with small RAM and memory capacity. The ASUS ZenFone Live L1 is no longer like the previous ASUS smartphone, which comes with lots of bloatware. This time only a few default applications and some can be deleted.

In it, we found there are some default applications that are ASUS features and found on other latest ASUS smartphones released this year, such as Power Master in the Mobile Manager application that contains customizations to make smartphone batteries more efficient. However, the most interesting thing for us is the game mode or what is called the Game Genie on the latest ASUS smartphone. This feature will be present when ASUS ZenFone Live L1 is used to play games. Game Genie contains several features such as locking game applications as the main application and eliminating telephone or social media notifications that will disrupt the game.

Besides this feature can also improve performance when the game feels heavy. There is also a feature to record your game action by connecting directly to social media to do live streaming. We didn't expect if this smartphone was still created by ASUS to play games.

Besides that, there are also various modes that can be used starting from Auto, HDR Pro, Beautification, Portrait Mode, Panorama, and Time Lapse.

Audio

For audio, there is no problem from the audio side for communication. Both the microphone and speaker work well. Clear and clear. As for multimedia, the sound is also loud. Of course, because there is an AudioWizard feature that allows us to adjust sound preferences along with the equalizer.

Sim Slot

Asus Zenfone Live L1 has three sim slots, with three slots that make it easy for users who have three numbers and are reluctant to bring more than two smartphones. This is based on the fact that typical Indonesians have more than one number while still using slots to increase storage capacity.

Battery Life

Asus provides the Zenfone Live L1 with a 3,000 mAh battery which is claimed to last 28 days in standby mode. From the experience of using this smartphone for normal use, the battery can last up to a day, not only that this smartphone only drains 18% of battery life when used to watch movies with a duration of 1.5 hours.
