Still using this phone. Love it!
Pro:
Great performace
Camera result is great
OTG Support (last update)
Full of feature
Easy to find firmware (can download from asus web)
Great game performance
support circle theme on flipcase (how to say it? like LG G3?)
it's like i have iphone! coz its never laggy
Cons:
where i can find a left handed flipcase?
non removable battery :(
only for right handed, since all button only on right side
camera little slow at low light
camera not good with flashlight (sometimes)
8GB storage is not enough! because only 4GB usable. install real racing 3 (2GB) and asphalt 8 (1,5). then I'm full even using App2sd. all game still save on internal storage.

AnonD-289596, 27 Aug 2014i got OTA system update of 1.14.40.50-20140625_626306 version.
& its show 57 MB storage. ... moreUpdate is about 700 MB and needs that space on the internal memory, but after update starts, it will overwrite the previous firmware.
Please download the 675 MB file from Asus downloads, not just some small update, if you want to do a manual update.
I am placing the WW versions to my server as well, and shall let you know when it's been uploaded.
The 1.14, 1.15, 1.16 and 1.17 will all be loaded. Just takes a moment to complete it.
Thank you.
