Guys, am writing this review after using this phone for two months.
Phone looks good but coming to performance, it is worst phone ever used.
Pros:
Good design
Cons:
1) Asus mentioned screen is made of Gorilla glass - 3, but it is the worst screen. Even if you keep mobile in pocket, it will get scratches. (in my view normal 3000 to Rs. 4000 mobile screen is better than this). Screen guard is must.
2) Poor network coverage: Signal receiving range/capacity of mobile is very less when compared to nokia, samsung, micromax, celkon. Even cheap Rs. 1000 mobile receives signal better than Zenfone 5.
3) Wifi receiver range is less compared to other mobiles like nokia & samsung.
4) Worst thing about Zenfone is battery. If you are a frequent traveller, just ignore this mobile don't even think of this. We have to carry mobile power bank where ever we go.
If you play games OR use wifi OR use in poor cellular network/signal area, battery won’t last more than 3 to 6 hours. It takes around 3 to 3.5 hours to get 100% charged.
5) Mobile is very slow, it lags very much. It takes time to do multi-tasking. You will feel lag even when you swipe the home screen.
6) Camera quality is average; you will get better pictures in Redmi mobile which is 6000 Rs. only.
Above review is written after observing total 3 nos. of Zenfone 5 mobiles

1- You can change ring tone to your desired song stored in memory card

I have the Zenfone 5 for about more than 2 months. It made the kit Kat update and, until now I'm super happy with this smartphone. It is fast, no problems and love the specifications. Very good price for what he offers. Definitely a good achievement!

Hi there!
I am from the Philippines and i have the zenfone 5 for a month now. Just updated to the latest kitkat 4.4.2... there was already an update on the zen5 regarding the battery issues and sound over OTA. Although the difference is not remarkable, but still love how the phone handles games, movies, music.
Regarding the battery i am using a powerbank to address the issue. Also used battery saver, greenify and lastly i am using an apus launcher.
Dont have the issues you have guys, and im really thankful that my zen5 does not give me a headache. And for any issues, we have a group where we can ask or inquire. Hehe
