AnonD-295117, 27 Aug 2014im an owner of this phone and im happy with its performance.. might wanna take a look at this.... moreSome Hungarian guy went to compare it with Samsung Galaxy S5… which is not a very fair comparison, given they are targeted at completely different budgets, but anyway… it didn't fare that bad.

As for dropping the phone video - dropping it to wood is very different from dropping it on hard floor. Not Asus nor Corning ever claimed glass to be shatter proof, and if you hit it from bad angle, any glass can crack.
Then again, solution is so simple - get a bumper case for it.
The scratch test is what Gorilla glass is for. Although anything harder like a diamond could still scratch it, glass is scratch proof against accidental scratches in the pocket, through general use.
You can get shatter proof 9H glass protector for it for 10$ if that's not enough.

how did you know about these improvements of z5? or is it typical for a phone that ... moreFrom Google's information on what optimizations were done on Kitkat's code. Especially mentioning Atom. Other optimizations on speed and security are across the board, for any configuration.

how did you know about these improvements of z5? or is it typical for a phone that once it has been upgraded to kitkat, it will improve as what you've said. i am more excited about battery performance upgrade, but not so sure if it's true.

I have zenfone 5 and specs are really good i just wanna ask all zenfone5 users if your batteries drains fast because if not i think i might have to consult for the warranty because mine drains really fast like only up to 6~7 hours

At first it drains much battery. Then i updated 1.17. I broke my record with it. 13-14 hours (80% to 15%) with open connections like as 2G data and Wi-Fi. Brightness was automatic too. It's battery is very good in my opinion. I had wifi problems for a while and it has gone now. Great phone.
It's very good for its price, even better than this "prime, greatest, expensive, best quality styled phones."

They downgrade to 1.14 then update. You can use the same way. But if you don't want, 1.17 is really good.

Abinash, 26 Aug 2014How to know the frequency...Plz tell meYou can chose to install one of many cpu monitoring apps from the Google Play Store. I installed Usemon to monitor the cpu since I can check cpu usage while using an application just by pulling down the status bar notifications.
