I had this phone for almost a year already. No issue (maybe the battery though, since I use this for gaming like Real Racing 3 and anime watching). But the performance of this unit for a mid-range Smartphone is great. It shows its true potential once updated to Lollipop. Smooth UI, 2GB of RAM and 5 inches display is great, matched with the killer price that rivals other phone brands in the mid-range category (Samsung, I'm looking at you!). Worth the money I've paid for.
Will get Zenfone 2 ZE551ML :D

I have updated my Zenfone 5 A501CG to lollipop by downloading the file from ASUS.com , installed it manually , so far everything works good , UI had changed and looks great , the Lollipop UI has more smoother transitions than the KitKat , note that when switched on first time after updating , the UI lagged and app took a little more time to open but after 5 mins of use , everything worked flawlessly & smoothly...!
There are many changes to the UI...!
Animations are great...!
By my experience i think the battery life has improved a little bit especially the standby time has improved...and especially the Ultra Power Saving mode works way way better than before...!
After first boot 1395 MB RAM was free...!
Rest every thing is same like camera quality , Music quality remains unchanged...!
Conclusion : I think there is no problem in updating to Lollipop...!
I bought this phone last month super camera average battery not too bad in inter usage it will down 1 day good display update otgsupport .
Ok, have updated to Android 5. Battery life no improvement and drains at a rate of 5% with half and hour. User interface improves though. Initial boots have Wi-Fi hang and after reboot a couple of time, all is fine. Indeed, Intel cups are power hunger.
Hlw frnds ,m using asus zf 5 last days,all is well but battery drains very fast,.it drains from 100%-5% wdin one hour,,,,.....plz suggests me what to do...
