I am confuse between S850 and Asus ZenPhone 5 because Lenovo S850 is 15,000 INR, while Zen 5 is 10,000.
And there is no big different beside 5MP front cam and 16GB, because i can always get 32/64GB card which is very cheaper.
By look i like Lenovo S850... Now i am so confuse :(

I noticed in CPU-Z that the processor is at 800 MHz at idle and immediately jumps to 1.6 GHz on any application. It doesn't seem to scale to any clock frequency between 800 MHz to 1.6 GHz. I think this is one reason why the battery life isn't really good. I wish on the KitKat update it would throttle down to at least 200 MHz and not immediately jump up to 1.6 GHz even at non-CPU intensive apps like web browsing or listening to music.

Rahul, 25 Aug 2014 thanks for reply but still i m little confuse all user and another website review say battery... moreDifferent usage patterns have different power requirements.
My particular usage is on this link:
www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/
You can see one of the screenshots showing today's usage some hours ago… and there are also from a month ago or so the battery usage graphs from end of first and end of second day on battery.
I don't know what your pattern would be, and how it would work out for you, but that's what I get.

TechVB, 25 Aug 2014Might be Kitkat will be available in September. I am not particularly looking forward to it, and you're probably wondering why I say this…
The speed and battery improvements are great to hear.
Breaking external SD card support isn't. So no more installing apps on SD. No more using file managers to move files around. No more downloading music and videos to the SD card.
What Google did was lock the folder on SD card to only the application that created it. Other applications can still read from it (well, mostly) but can no longer write into it.
This will wipe one of the best features of the ZenFone, the ease of managing the files on it, and move it much more towards iTunes lookalike system without the iTunes.
Ah well… I've got 2 of them. Will only update 1 to test first, and downgrade back to JellyBean if it breaks too much. Or root it and reset permissions.
