The pictures l... moreI just tested on mine, and have no such issues, although I can say that some photos are far noisier than I would have liked.
Seems it spiced ISO up for some reason.
Is it possible that you have fingerprints or other smudges on the lens?
Generally such an error would be wrong light metering (over exposed), or processing fault (contrast error), or reflection (dirty lens).
The 2 501CG and 1 500KL that I have here do not have this issue, so it could be your particular phone, although it is still possible that the error comes from the software.
Apologies.

It is possible that the power management failed and is cooking CPU. Most of the time this can be resolved by a factory reset, where firmware gets reloaded from the recovery partition.
May I ask if your phone is being in any kind of case, and if so, whether the case is silicon or polymer?
The reason I ask is because I've had 2 other phones, when recording in 4k video resolution cook the CPU when in silicon case, but had no issue in plastic case with the same phones.
Yes, Atom does run hotter than ARM processor, but it should not cause any smell, under any circumstances, as the power management system should throttle the CPU down when it starts reaching the maximum temperature. Obviously there's no fan to cool the CPU inside, so lowering the clock is all it can do.
As mentioned earlier, in JellyBean, power management cannot turn parts of the CPU off, hence 800 MHz is as low as it can go, with both cores and all sub-cores running.

As for hanging - have you updated the system firmware? I would recommend you to load the full 1.18.40 from Asus website if you have not.
Many of the complaints/bugs are getting fixed when reported, but obviously that's in the new firmwares.
I'd try that first, if you still have issues, then maybe write more details on what games hang, maybe some other gamer in here can help.

AnonD-311879, 28 Sep 2014Whaaat??!!.....a toy??!!......i guess i know this is going to....or maybe next time youll say.... moreAll phones are toys. Well, OK, some are being used for business tools, but other than that, they are toys for big kids.
Small kids play with Barbies and model cars, well, big kids play with smartphones.
I could call myself a toy collector. For anything running on batteries (ok, some female khm…. accessories… excluded).

I just went to google your excellent reviews of other phones, and the first thing that came up on Google was your Facebook account.
That immediately built my respect for you as someone who spent time to google up his own reviews, praise them for excellency, and used them as basis to decide that this phone is crap.
Not many people are so full of themselves. Respect, kid.

I am surprised to hear about problems in asus zenfone 5.Mine is working very nice since i bought i.e.July 29.It never lags,plenty internal memory space.Nice touch and very nice camera.Never heats on internet use and guys i have used sony & samsung in past @3 inch phone and upon continous use of 3G there battery also go down.
I think lots of people complaining here havent used smartphone before or dont know how to use it.Hats off Tomazz for such a nice and detailed explanation of mobile.
One thing is a big surprise for me,in my asus zenfone 5 whatsapp has moved to sd card and it is working fine.How come possible as my phone is not rooted.
