        i have the zenfone 5 from the day it was launched in the philippines. my previous phone was a galaxy note 2 and was happy with it. it was stolen so i have to buy another android phone and this phone came to my mind first.

        the issues i have is the battery life. i have tried all sorts of ways to resolve it but to no avail unless you have to root your phone.

        also when playing games, the phone takes longer to load the game but once it is loaded, the good thing is it wont lag or hang.

        so far those are the issues i encountered

                                    Regarding the battery drain and overheating issue on upgrading to 4.4.2 kitkat:
                                    Apparently it's a google issue:
                                    http://www.zdnet.com/article/kitkat-giving-you-battery-drain-problems-try-uninstalling-skype-says-google-as-it-prepares-a-fix/

                                    Try uninstalling skype as the post says (until google fixes the issue).

                                    Please report here if this works for you. Will help me decide whether to buy or not :) !

                                    Also Asus is concerned about this, and in fact suggested above post:
                                    http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2431

                                    So hopefully an update should be coming out soon!

                                      Why can't my Asus Zenfone 5 recognize Chinese characters in my SMS inbox? The text are garbled. However, I am able to type and send messages in Chinese characters with no problem.
