The most interesting of them is the selfie mode.It asks you about the number of faces to be detected and after that you simply have to turn your mobile and let camera detect the faces,and there you are.It clicks awesome selfies.
Secondary camera is nice.It will work fine for video calling.For selfie one can go for primary camera for good pics.

A good competitor to MOTO G,it just outshines it as ZENPHONE 5 most of the feature are better then MOTO G.
But as you know nothing is perfect,so the most disappointing feature of this phone is it's battery life which doesn't lasts long.One can hardly surf on internet for 3.5 to 4 hours on internet with full battery.
So,if you are in the search of the best smartphone in this price range,then friends go for it.
