It offers class-leading sound quality, a great display, but the real winner is the design. In the battle of these two giants, Intex Aqua Star HDÂ takes it, but only just.
The Asus Zenfone 5  offers a wider range of features and comes with great connectivity, a stunning display, plenty of power and a camera that performs well.
