Asus P535

Camera/Media
P535 features a decent 2MP camera with auto-focus. In my opinion, the camera is quite good, and the largish screen also helps while clicking. The colors are a little dull, and sometimes while shooting during the day the pictures may be a little over exposed. However, the camera includes a lot of modes and settings like color balance options, Macro mode settings, burst shots etc.

It is one of the few phones in the market that integrates auto-focus in cameras. Night shooting is something you will enjoy only if you are into clicking blurry, dreamy pictures. The maximum resolution that the camera shoots at is 1,600 x 1,200 pixels and up to 320 x 240 pixels for video. The business card function allows you to simply click and store a business card using the camera.

The P535 goes as far as the 2.5mm slot for listening to music, why didn't Asus go all-out by giving users 3.5mm instead? This I believe is the smartest move, for 2.5mm seems like Asus is taking small baby steps towards integrating their phones with smarter technologies, but leaves a step or two short of meeting that aim. Windows Media 10 is all you will be using for all your Music and Video needs. The earphones provided with the phone are average, and after a while I began detesting the rather boosted treble levels. The wisest choice (only for listening to music) in this case would be to buy the 3.5mm jack converter. Costs hardly anything, plus you get to use your regular headphones/earphones.
