Thanks for the reply.
But the latest firmware is the kitkat update. I am searching for the most stable jelly bean(android 4.2) update.
I have seen many people prefering to downgrade to jelly bean after updating to kitkat. Thatswhy i want to wait for that stable kitkat version which asus will release.
I want to use a tempered glass because it provides some protection to the phone's screen from shock and cracks.

Everything about this phone is great except for one crucial thing - the battery life. The battery life for it given on this site is wrong. It only lasts about HALF a day. Not a full day. No way.
I can't use this as a travel phone with such a short battery life. It depletes about the same rate as it charges which is ridiculous. The sales rep never told me that of course. Now I'll have to buy another phone.
