It has only been recently that the Samsung Galaxy Note phablets have started looking better than just oversized slate smartphones with built-in styluses, but even the previous Galaxy Note 4 wasn't the most fashionable phablet around. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 on the other hand, features a metal and glass design that is both striking and premium looking, quite easily making it the best looking Note phablet yet. Does this affect the performance in any way? We find out in our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

The ASUS ZenFone Selfie offers a 13MP PixelMaster front camera complete with dual tone LED flash. While it packs in other features like a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and 5.5-inch full HD display the main highlight of the ZenFone Selfie is it's selfie taking capabilities. As such we took it for a spin against the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with its 5MP front camera in a selfie comparison shootout. Read on to find out the results.
