Asus ships the ZenFone 2 with Android Lollipop out-of-the-box, coated with Asus' custom ZenUI skin on top. ZenUI is quite a departure from stock Android but adds a few neat tweaks that could be useful for quite a few users, and is as zippy as ever. For example, the Smart Group functionality in the app drawer bunches similar apps together into folders, which comes in handy when you don't want to go through the trouble of sorting apps one by one. Similarly, the App Lock feature lets you add a password to any app, preventing others from opening things you don't want them to.
Zen UI also allows for a lot of customisation, and you can change themes, icon packs and the homepage scrolling animation. The one-handed operation function has been tweaked slightly to allow more control to the user - you can now manually drag from the corner of the screen to set the screen size without having to make do with preset screen sizes. ZenMotion is another software feature that gives users the ability to draw gestures on screen when the phone is asleep, to open any particular app. Asus also adds a in-house apps: Asus ZenCircle, a social networking tool for creators; PhotoCollage; WebStorage, a cloud-based storage solution; and Mirror, which lets you use the front camera and screen as a mirror.
