The Asus ZenFone AR phone is only the second phone on the market to support Google Tango, following last year’s Lenovo Phab 2 Pro. The ZenFone AR also supports Google’s Daydream VR platform — and looks like a regular Android phablet, too. But here’s why you shouldn’t buy the Asus ZenFone AR just for the “AR.” Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs

Please focus on the AR. Wasted time on other useless stuff. Poor quality review. DISLIKE
Use men to review.
I like the fact that Google’s pushing this tech with other manufacturers, but I hate ASUS’s software, the version of Android they push out is so clunky and looks extremely outdated.
Lauren is one of the few Goode things about the Verge right now.
Wow, with Tango, inside out positional tracking for VR should be amazing and NOPE: Daydream covers the Tango sensors!!!
using monocular visual odometry with the ipotato is a joke in comparison with the robustness and accuracy of these sensors…… . but don’t worry every phone will soon be this capable including the ipotato
Good review, please feel free to ignore all the haters below…
AR has been around for years. I remember playing AR games on the PSP and the DSi back in the day. Even when Sony and Nintendo pushed AR on the 3DS and PS Vita, no one gave a damn. Most people only use like 20% of what the phone can really do. Look at most iPhone users, why do you think Apple doesn’t do significant upgrades to the iPhones? It’s because the user base only uses the camera for pictures and videos for apps that uses them and makes the phone a little faster for newer mobile games and that’s it.
Just buy an axon 7………
Is it just me or is the protective plastic film you take off still on the bit that she says looks scratched?
Display colours look washed out
haven’t heard someone say phablet in a long time
So few phones support Android 7.1. I wonder if the changes they made to it were small enough that most manufacturers just chose to ignore it.
This phone is horrible. Out of all things to copy, they copy Touchwiz?
Nice review. I was looking forward to this phone all year. I’m mostly interested in Daydream but AR seems like it could get more useful as more development happens. Good to know the camera is capable as well.
Those bezzels
You are so beautiful…hahaha
Here for the girl
love her!
Actual video starts at 2:30
I hope to see many more devices with Google’s Tango technology. Google Tango is years ahead and far superior to Apple’s ARKit.
Battery is still a great concern not only for phone also for laptops…
Couldn’t just clear the notifications for the thumbnail no?
Do a review of Meizu Pro 7 Plus
im early let me think of a joke
air pods
2:32 no other devices out there run both^
Nougat is pronounced “noo-ga” not “nyewgart”! Honestly, you Americans haven’t a clue.
Great review!
era exatamente o que pretendia fazer, comprar pq é um smart excelente e nao por causa do VR. Nem chegará ao BR.
Versus every iPhone that has ARkit
nice review thank you
I would get it if was given for free, but I wouldn’t buy it. I would go for an iPhone again.
new battery tech!
she nailed a lot of things, but marveling at the headphone jack is quite wrong :/ Tango isn’t that popular. AR-wise, ARKit by Apple already claimed the spotlight, VR-wise, there’s Daydream so I would personally think Tango is currently pointless.
If you aren’t buying this phone for the AR, aren’t there other phones that are better than this
Is it just me, or is there a lack of color in this? Like it feels like the colors were muted for this video for no reason.
Why does this seem like a 60 minutes interview
