Hello! Would be happy to read your thoughts on which phone should my girl buy. Is it the Asus Zenfone2 or the Samsung E7? Thank you!

I would actually suggest the ZenFone 2. For roughly the same amount of money, you get a much better phone.

I'd say ZF2. Just giving you a simple comparison:

Asus Zenfone 2 vs Samsung Galaxy E7
(Both using the $299 version, which is 4GB/64GB for ZF2, and 2GB/16GB for E7)

So for me, I'll go with the ZF2 for better screen resolution, faster processor, bigger ram, larger storage capacity, newer OS, and bigger battery. You might want to try the Samsung if you value the better screen technology (brighter, in this case), maybe just slightly better camera (or not!), lighter build, and probably slightly better customer service (from the fact that ASUS isn't as big here in the States as it is in Asia.) To me, the choice is actually rather obvious

ZF2 wins just on 64 Gigs memory. Unless she's not the type that downloads apps or takes pictures.

Sorry i forgot to mention, its the 2GB RAM and 16/32gig memory variant. Would it still win against E7, also include the durability of the phones. Thank you!

These are new phones so one wouldn't really know about the durability. But if you're going for the 2gb ram, hey it's $199! A third cheaper with all other specs at least on par with if not better than the E7. That's even an easier choice for me to make. The processor of the 2/16 version is slightly slower but my guess is that it still has quite some lead over the 410.
