My phone not my best friend: Saif

Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan on Wednesday launched the latest Asus ZenFone 2, which is touted to be the first 4GB smartphone in India. The actor considers mobile phones as a ‘good time pass’, but doesn’t call himself a gizmo freak.

The new addition in the highly anticipated and award winning ZenFone range - which was launched last year - ZenFone 2 is designed to give users an easy one-handed experience. “Mobiles is the best mode of communication with the world. It’s like a personal computer, and the camera and a friend to talk to in the darkness. But it’s not my best friend,” Saif told IANS. “My phone is....not really a friend, it’s rather an extension of me. Just like technology is an extension of our mind, my phone is an extension of me,” added the 44-year-old, who was accompanied at the event by photographer Dabboo Ratnani and singer Aditi Singh Sharma.

With 3.9 mm thin edges and a luxurious metallic hairline, ZenFone 2 provides some incredible specifications including PixelMaster camera, Intel Atom Processor with a sizzling 4GB RAM and a 5.5 inch screen, at an affordable range starting from Rs.12,999.

The launch of the phone, which took place here witnessed a power-packed performance by Aditi, who sang some of her big hits.
