Just one thing - Zenfone supports USB sticks out of the box. No need to root.

zenphone is nice but has got a very tough competition with moto g. After thinkin a lot I went for moto G although I knew that zenphone is real nice product but the key differences I found out that created confusion were -
RAM- zenphone has better RAM so first I thot of going for it but then going through a lot of videos on performance I found that Because of the stock version of android on moto G will minimize the difference. So zenphone will be faster but not way too much. non considerable difference in performance.
Then secondly - dimensions of the moto G are too good. Ergonomical design makes it fit in your hand like it was perfectly built for it and you can easily reach upto every corner of the screen with only one hand.
to connect a USB pendrive zen fone needs rooting which is not in case with moto g.
quick upgrades to latest android will only be available on nexus and moto series earliest and its quite important because with every upgrade they are working more on buttery smooth performance.
in overall specifications I must say that zenfone is better but as per my requirements moto g went real well...

Rahul, 27 Aug 2014Are you sure...??? i mean u are using this phone....?????because all user say battery back up ... moreYou asked how long battery lasts on stand-by with only internet access…
Placing it on the table and waiting how long it takes to come from 100 to 0%.
That's 2-3 days.
If you're actually using it in between, it would depend on your usage pattern.
Around 5-10 hours of screen time, depending on the brightness setting and what is being done.
In my moderate use it lasts at least a day.
Your experience could be different.
So no, I can not say I am sure. That's what I get.

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.
