Zenfone 5 vs Moto G 2nd
I taken these comparison from the flipkart customer review (Alan Shaji)
Thanks to him!! It is usefull for those who confuse abt zenfone 5 and moto g 2nd gen.
Asus Zenfone 5 vs Moto G (2nd Gen)
1.) In the box accessories
Accessories provided with zenfone 5 are of very good quality whereas that of Moto G2 is not upto the mark. USB cable is also absent in the box of moto G2.
2.) Design & Build Quality
Design of both phones are really good. But relatively compact size of moto G2 makes it easier to handle. Build quality of both phones are very good
3.) Display
Both the devices have 5 inch IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 294 ppi & good viewing angles. Zenfone 5 has an inbuilt app called splendid which allows us to change the colour contrast and saturation of the display which is pretty good.
4.) Processor
Zenfone has a 1.6 GHz Dual core Intel atom atom processor with hyperthreading technology which makes the device to perform like a 1.6GHz quad core processor!!
Moto G2 has a 1.2GHz Quad core snapdragon chipset which is behind the Intel processor in terms of performance. (See the benchmark results)
Zenfone 5
* Antutu 5 : 23000
* Quadrant : 9156

* GFXBench : 10.8
* Basemark X : 2.959

6.) Graphics
Zenfone 5 has PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 graphics which is much better than the Adreno graphics of Moto G2 which is clear from the Nenamark 2 benchmark score.
7.) Software
Moto G2 is running on stock android Kitkat (4.4.4). Kitkat update(4.4.2) is now out for Zenfone 5 also.Android L update for both the phones are confirmed. Moto G2 will get the Lolipop update earlier than the Zenfone series. Definitely Moto G2 scores here with its faster android updates.
8.) User Interface
Zenfone 5 comes with Zen UI which is butter smooth and has lot of option to customize. It is loaded with many built-in useful apps such as App lock, Ram cleaner etc. Trust me, you will love it!!
Moto G2 has stock android with no option to customize
9.) Camera
Both the phone comes with 8MP rear and 2MP front cameras which is good in performance. But Moto G2 has a stock camera interface which has only limited options allows only HD video recording whereas the camera of Zenfone with PixelMaster Technology has a much better camera UI with lot of options and modes and it allows full HD video recording!! You will fall in love with it for sure!!
10.) Sound
The speaker volume of Zenfone 5 is a bit low but of good quality. Sound quality through headsets is very good. Whereas the speaker volume of Moto G2 is loud as well as of good quality because of the dual front speakers.
11.) Call quality
Call quality is excellent on Zenfone 5 (Rating: 9) Moto G also has good call quality (Rating: 8)
12.) Battery
Zenfone 5 has 2110mA battery & Moto G2 has a 2070mA battery. Both of them lasts for one day with moderate usage. After Kitkat update, battery backup of Zenfone 5 improved a lot. Now it's giving 5 hours of screen time which was only 2.5 -3 hrs when the time of purchase!! Moto G (2nd gen) is giving a screen time of 4-4.5 hrs. (Both are with WiFi and single sim)
13.) Memory
Zenfone 5 has 8 GB internal storage out of which 5 GB is available for user. It also allows installation of apps to SD card directly whereas MotoG2 comes with 16GB storage out of which 12GB is usable. It doesn’t allow the installation of apps directly to SD card.
14.) Charging
Zenfone 5 takes 2.45 hrs to charge from 0- 100% whereas Moto G2 takes around 3.5 to 4 hrs.
15.) SAR Values
Most of the people never mind this!! But this is a very important factor as it is the radiation values of the phone.
* Zenfone 5 : At the Head - 0.710 W/Kg, At the Body - 0.607 W/Kg
* Moto G2 : At the Head - 1.52 W/Kg, At the Body - 0.894 W/Kg
Remember 1.6 W/Kg is the maximum allowed limit of SAR value
Bottom line: Both of the devices are really good and value for money. So make a decision according to your needs and usage pattern!!

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.
