Great phone :)
Good camera
Good display
Smooth navigation
Pretty good for gaming (although lags a bit for really high-graphic games)
The only thing that sucks though is battery. This is the major drawback.
But what the heck, a fairly easy workaround is to just have a powerbank.
So its not much of a drawback really.
For a relatively cheap price, its still worth it! :D
Had mine for only a year til it got stolen, sadly.
I guess the phone is soo good its worth stealing eh?

hey guys, im a zenfone 5 user . and to be honest im really disappointed by this one . 1. battery life sucks( i mean, really, really, really sucks) 2. bad signal reception 3. camera became yellowish and blurry after new update( i love to take photos and bcoz of this, i just didnt anymore) 4. for music lover the sound wouldnt be enough for u 5. screen brightness was just too bright for me to use during night time(even after adjusting the brightness to the lower lvl) .. other than that, gaming experience cool (graphics) .. the screen sensitivity responded very well ..

I suddenly experienced very bad internet reception when I turn on the mobile data. My zenfone 5 is now a little over 1 year old, and this reception problem has had happened since October last year. Although it would display H+ on the status bar, it would take a while before loading websites and downloading files. I did not change anything in my phone, but this problem had been occurring everywhere I went, not just in my place. Do I have similar cases in you? How should I solve this?

Upgradable to Lolipop, they say it as if it is as easy to upgrade this phone to Lolipop as eating a pie.
Just how careless Asus can be, they made the ROM, put it up on their site but they didn't care to release it OTA. Speak of absolute carelessness Asus should get a Oscar for it. The quality of Asus phones are undeniably good but such carelessness of Asus surely pisses off its loyal customers. Good job Asus because you essentially shot yourself in foot due to this oddball method of rolling update.

Worse phone. after 6 months, display will start giving you problems. Worse battery life phone I have ever had. Definitely not worth the price. You can go with some branded phones instead, which atleast have support centres to go approach for your problems.
