AnonD-312628, 27 Sep 2014Before two day I got my phone but I m facing some problems like battery backup, no SIM video ... moreThe SIM video calls are not possible on this phone, apologies.
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).

Not stalking la…
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.

AnonD-279813, 27 Sep 2014I'm glad you are enjoying your Xiaomi phone.
A friend of mine, Hugo from Xiaomi, once said ... moreI do have zenfone (5 & 6), redmi 1s, redmi note, iphone5, s4, note 3, huawei honor 3C, xperia z, nokia xl, and more...are ya want me to list all my phone that i have..
Im comparing redmi note with zen 5...it becoz it both have the same price range in my country....coz most common people decide to buy a phone its by price/spec....like asus when its first appeareance and booming (but disappointed in the end)....:o....
So stop joking....!!!....LoL

Anonymous, 27 Sep 2014Which is better ?
this one (16 GB)
or moto g (16 GB)If new Moto G, they are more or less identical.
Biggest difference between them is the OS. Zen comes with ZenUI based on JellyBean (ok, next week on KitKat), while Motorola comes with stock KitKat with default Google launcher.
Some people like clean stock OS, because it's uncluttered with added functions, and receives updates immediately, others hate it because it's far less user friendly.
I don't think the choice can be on hardware. It's mostly a choice of which software you like. And there is no good or bad, just your preference.

jd, 27 Sep 2014Thanks Tomazz, actually when i am locking the zenfone when fm radio playing in foreground afte... moreZenFone 5 is a toy…
Take off the back plate.
Remove the screws (one has warranty sticker), and remove the plastic shell.
There are only a handful more screws inside and the rest is all modules plugged into each other. I consider it a Lego.
This was the point of Zen - making it all in standard parts, that can be produced en masse, and make it very simple to put together - that's what also makes it larger than other phones.
I did take it apart, didn't really like to put it back together (I'm one of those who always end up with a few spare parts), but - it is considerably easier to fix than any other mobile I've pulled apart before.
