Abinash, 29 Aug 2014No you can't coz kitkat restrict permission of sdcard to read-only. So if you want to move ap... moreSome apps can still be moved to SD. In fact many.
It is just that they can only write to the folder on SD card that they created and own. They can't write to other folders.
While this is OK for say Camera - it can write photos into its own folder on SD, it is a problem for a file manager app as although it can read things, it can't write them, or for 3rd party players, editors, which won't be able to write indexes or save changes.
So many of these apps will outright break.
Good news is that the file manager app that came with OS has superuser access, and will be able to write anything to anywhere - so built in file manager will still work, so will OS built in apps that have SU access.
But not apps you install yourself.
Unless you root the phone.
This does not mean you can't move apps to SD. You can. If the apps support that.

Anonymous, 29 Aug 2014Will we be able to move apps to SD card after KitKat update?No you can't coz kitkat restrict permission of sdcard to read-only. So if you want to move apps to sdcard in kitkat os, then you need to root your phone and then there are many apps which will remove the restriction of your sd card but remember rooting voids warranty(some sites say).
In my opinion;
Wait for 1yr, root your phone, then be the king of your zenfone :D

Do we need to install all other firmware update along with the kitkat update?
Or jus... moreKit Kat will be available OTA. Discovered issues are being fixed in Kit Kat as well, you will not need to reinstall old updates, nor should you as OS will be different.
That said. Any new issues will be resolved via OTA updates for Kit Kat.

Review after using for 7 days :-
1.Display:- just awesome.every icon /picture text appears so crisp,im in love with its display.
2.Lag Free:- This phone does not know what is lagging in smartphones. with its 2gb RAM and intel processor with hyper threading tech it runs butter smooth.
3.camera : its 8mp cam is simply great.different modes are interesting like low,light,time rewind,selfie etc.front cam is also v good.
4.Battery :-some reviews are saying less backup, but i was happy that it runs whole day after using it moderately for calling,net,games.
5.OTG Support:- immediately after swing on i received notification for updating. now my PEN Drive is supported.i was MORE THAN HAPPY for this feature.
6.Value for Money : Remember its not a set which cost you 20k(which its worth for) . its only 10k-8gb model.
Every one after seeing this phone guess it to be 15-20k as its a premium looking device.
My advise to those who are thinking to buy is to not think twice.Not listen to the negative reviews. even S5 has lot of negative comments.
ITS a MUST BUY PRODUCT

Do we need to install all other firmware update along with the kitkat update?
Or just only install the kitkat one..
Do then the phone will actually work with the other updates properly?
Will the kitkat update be avilable via OTG?

Jeet, 28 Aug 2014Using this phone from last 1 week. SAR value is 2.0W/KG which is very high. Feeling pain in bo... moreFrom WIKI:
United States: the FCC requires that phones sold have a SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg) taken over the volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue that is absorbing the most signal.
European Union: CENELEC specify SAR limits within the EU, following IEC standards. For mobile phones, and other such hand-held devices, the SAR limit is 2 W/kg averaged over the 10 g of tissue absorbing the most signal (IEC 62209-1).
India: switched from the EU limits to the US limits for mobile handsets in 2012. Unlike the US, India will not rely solely on SAR measurements provided by manufacturers; random compliance tests are done by a government-run Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) SAR Laboratory on handsets and 10% of towers. All handsets must have a hands free mode.[4]
