Ok so there are a few ups and downs for this fone
Cons
Gets heated fast
Very poor sound quality for main speaker
The battery is literally horrible (can be fixed with an update)
Pros
Very good for its prize
5.5" ips display
8 MP with pixelmaster
expandable memory till 64gb


Overall it's a great phone for its prize but if u are a heavy mobile user and use the phone all day ,keep in mind the battery is very limited so you might have to carry a power bank for the issue

            No. I'm still facing that issue. I haven't tried factory reset. Not sure if that will help as I have properly update my phone. Hopefully the dev team will fix it.

                      Zenfone 2nd gen is going to be available in jan 2015 so if you can wait better go for 2nd gen as it has better design and more battery life and many more feature.
                      after 2nd gen launch this will look like old mobile piece
