    If it's protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 then why my Zenfone 5 got scratched when bumped to my bag's zipper? ;(

          cons which i found after using this phone for month are
          1. Call quality is ok but feel the heat if you talk long.
          2. battery with full time mobile data on but with moderate use gives me around 10 hrs.

          Rest every thing is far to good than other phone in this segment.

                          adjsl, 13 Oct 2014Combination of some effort can minimize the battery drain problem due to screen 1) Use Flip c... moreI appreciate your inputs adjsl, I'm also using flip cover since day 1 coz I hate to see my things scratched. it defeats the purpose of having a smart phone when you use it minimal to make it last all day... Old school phones with keypads last longer than this piece of plastic trash. I updated it to the latest kitkat with minor issue on onscreen keyboard but I still notice the battery slowly counting down. Now I purchase portable charger because the Asus Zenfone 5 has unreliable battery sad to say. I don't mind paying more for a better batt but I liked the brand ever since that's why I had to have 1. I felt betrayed. What good is a hitech device if you can't use til abused. by my usage the battery will surely not last long as I believe most rechargeables 500 life cycle charging will affect its holding capacity. its predictable that Zenfone 5 users must replace the handsets soon.
