Gulab Phirni / ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Mobile Review

Shahi Gulab Phirni is a pudding made with rice, milk and flavoured with rose water and petals. The rose petals added for garnishing makes it aromatic and very appealing. It is usually served as dessert in earthen pots on special occasions and festivals. I made this dessert to review my new ASUS phone – Zenfone 2 Laser. I recently received this phone from ASUS and been itching to write a review. Thank you ASUS for this amazing phone as I’m loving each moment with it.

The best part about this phone for me is its camera. The ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 delivers superb high-definition pixel resolution. It offers 5 MP front camera and 13 MP rear camera with laser- assisted auto-focus that allows the consumers to lock the focus on an object in as low as 0.3 seconds.

The camera has adjustable features like super resolution, beautification etc. I tried the Camera feature – Depth of field to capture this beautiful flower. The images are so crystal clear that I hardly edited them for use in my blog. The image colour, brightness, tone etc can be enhanced using the additional features if required. I would definitely be using this phone for more food photography as it is so handy and images are as good as any DSLR.

Phirni is made using basmati rice as it enhances the flavour and more aromatic. You would notice that each grain of rice is visible in this image though I took this picture around evening time. You can enable “Low-light” or “Night” mode in the camera which will allow  you to capture high resolution images even in dull light. The phone even gives you the power of back-lighting and capture motion pictures.

Another features which I love most about this phone is that it comes with Anti-Scratch Corning Gorilla Glass 4 which has better scratch resistance than any protection film for smartphones. So, it assures me that it will not break easily or get scratched even if I decide to give the phone to my 4 year old kid for use 🙂 🙂 This phone is slim, beautiful crafted and there are many other amazing features which you can enjoy like battery efficiency, kids mode etc. So, what are you waiting for?

I’m also sharing an easy recipe to make some delicious, flavourful, aromatic Gulab phirni and hope you all enjoy reading this post.
