        akanksha, 07 Jul 2015Which is better mobile- asus zf 5 or Xiomi Redmi NOTE 4G? i need a phone which lives with me f... moreAsus zenfone 5 is a good phone, i bought it last month on 26 june. It didnt hanged yet because of 2 GB ram, i m having a good gaming experience. There are some merits n demeits which i found later..
        Merits: 1) Awesome camera (both front and back)
        2) no hanging problem
        3) super fast
        4) impressive design
        5) impressive features
        6) it has corning gorilla glass 3.
        Demerits: 1) battery backup problem. It drains very soon.
        2) heating problem. Its the biggest demerit for me. It heats up very very soon. While playing video or accessing internet it heats up like fire. Its just unbearable hot i can't even touch it.
        3) dual core processor (old fashion)
        so Dear Akanksha please check the phone before buying. Personally i got disappointed when i got to know about the heating and baterry problem.. so check every phone and get details then go for it... thanks

            Dear frnds, pls disable google apps like google plus, Google, Play news, games etc. After disabling all these apps & keeping Antivirus off most of the time ( background stop through Autostart manager) I'm able to get 1.5day battery with 1hr call, 45mins email, whats app & 3G internet being on all the time.
