          i just bought it last monday and i love the zenphone 5. battery issues? 2100 mah is pretty low for heavy usage, if you like games buy a PSP or a console, duh who would spend so much time playing with there phone. camera app is one of the best in it's price tag those who feel that zenphone 5 is not for them don't buy it buy more expensive phones. it's just a practical decision but having great specs at the same time. don't complain much every person has a phone suited him.

                3 updates have been released till now.

                update your phone.


                n yes if u use 3g data continuously, the battery will drain.
                after the update, the battery would perform better for other tasks like gaming music video n all. however there will only be an imperceptible change in battery performance with 3g. Rest all will improve.

Then check my screenshots to verify battery consumption. Audio quality is very nice. Doesn't matter if speaker volume is slightly low. If not satisfied then Buy LG G3.

                        Aside from battery issues, everything is working perfectly right now with my zenfone 5. The best phone for its price range and specs. :))

                              swee lah..although battery is draining faster like 5 hour when playing game or on wifi..I just realize the large file app can move to my 16G memory card...which is not bad...overall is a good fone..for battery problem can use extra mobile battery charger and for storage problem can slowly get a 16G or 32G and move the app to yr memory card.no problem at all

                                asus_zenfone5, 07 Aug 2014Hi friends,I wanna buy mobile n now I am in dilemma to buy Lenovo S850 or Asus Zenfone 5,or sh... morei would suggest zenfone 5 over Lenovo because of 1gb ram it has. But Camera is of higher Mpixel if you want higher camera then go for Lenovo. i would not suggest Mi3 because it doesn't have dual Sim. Now a days everyone is keeping two connection which is very useful and smart way. because if u r getting network problem on one , u can use another. But If you are a hardcore Gamer and doesn't mind carrying two phones in your pocket and not a brand conscious and not worried about more memory beyond 12-13gb then Buy Mi3.

Or else you can consider about to release XOLO Hive. Don't Put your money on Mi3 just for Snapdragon 800.

                                      I have a white asus zenfone 5 and im inlove with its design. It has an FM radio app thank god. The ram's 2gb with 8gb internal memory. Theres only 4.99gb left with the 8gb internal memory cos of the phone's OS. Thank god for sd cards i was able to transfer all the bigger apps there. I actually can transfer almost all the apps that i downloaded from the google store. I love this phone. I love how slender it feels. Its very affordable but it doesnt look and feel cheap. The only complain i have is the battery life. It drains fast. Im connected to wifi all the time so if i use it continuously (no games just texting, no calls, just plain surfing, chatting, facebook, twitter, just basic stuff) it will probably just last for 7-8hrs. Thank god i have a powerbank that i can use just in case it drains completely and i have nowhere to charge it. So to all owners of zenfone 5 INVEST ON POWERBANKS cos you will need it.

People can check my earlier screenshots, battery backup is good now even with dual SIM on. Go for this phone that to be from a reputed brand.
