I bought zenfone 5 501cg last month. Upon 1 month use i feel camera quality is very very poor, just like a vga camera. And it takes long time to capture and shaky wacky images. In addition to rear cam, Front cam is just a waste. Additional colours are added to face on selfie pics.
Then battery backup is only upto 6 hours when moderately using internet.
Coming to performance i experince a kind of hang whike typing and deleting texts, scrolibg while browsing etc.
Only positive is that its just a budget phone. If u are ready ti spent a little more, buy moto g 2nd generation. Camera quality is osum.

I bought this phone (ASUS ZENFONE 5 A501CG) a week from now and I would say that the performance is good but one thing is the battery consumption. If I'm going to use a mobile data or even Wifi it last for only 4 hours so I tried to root my phone and decided to underclocked it using "SetCPU for root users" from 1600 mhz to 1333 mhz of maximum with a minimum of 800 mhz CPU frequency. Now! I could say the battery is more better than before and it takes 8-9 hours when I'm using a Wifi or mobile data and also it prevent overheating when browsing internet. hehehe Love it.
