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.

Tips for Fast drain solution:

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

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.

Guide on how to root Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG 4.4.2 KITKAT

Just click on the link below and follow the step:

For those ZENPhone who have a version of 2.20.40.13 use this toolkit: "root-zenfone5-en" can be found on the link below.

Process is the same but the different is that instead of using "root-zenfone5-ww you will use the above toolkit in which can be found on the link below.
