                I think only negative you heard was battery , all other things are bull shit. Battery, in fact is also not a big problem, it performs well comparing to its powerful hardware and at this budget price. Some are are giving false or exaggerating comments without any logic. You can buy. Choice is always yours.

                                debuz, 03 Sep 2014Evening, I have used this zenfone 5 for 2month and face with certain problems 1) it always n... moreHi, debuz.

                                1. I faced myself with the same problem but updating firmware resolved all these issues.

                                2. You don't have to find root file. Root folder mean the "initial" directory. As an example, if you have a "D" partition on your Windows, "D root" means "D:/" directory. If you want to copy a "file.txt" to "D root" it will be placed at "D:/file.txt" outside of any folders "D" could contain.

                                Good luck!

                                      Pankaj, 03 Sep 2014Asus zenfone5...can we replace the battery...or How long this phone's battery will last...plz reply?You can replace battery but you would need to take the whole phone apart.

                                      Currently I can't see any seller, but I am sure they would be offered again given the popularity of the phone. Certainly they won't be cheap.

                                      They should last a 2-3 years of average use.

                                        If nothing happens when you plug it in, maybe the driver on computer is not properly loaded, then try another USB port, or remove the unknown device or whatever it is in device manager for this phone, and plug it in again to reinstall driver.

                                        If you're using a Mac, get Android File Manager.
