Got this phone in early July 2014. Specs are T00J model, 8GB memory, 1GB RAM, Updated to patch version 1.14.40.16, been running smooth and fantastic so far. No lag on internet or youtube nor experience phone hanging. Picture and video quality are good, screen resolution is absolutely great, although a little hard to see if you are outdoors under direct sunlight (just need to adjust the brightness level higher). Camera and video recording is average, but acceptable for the price of this phone.
Battery life is bearable if you are a heavy user (just make sure you have a power bank with you at all times). Enjoyed music with my bluetooth 3.0 NFC stereo headphones connected, didn't drain too much of the battery supply (my experience was 2 hours continuous -18% battery life). Only low i find is the caller volume a little soft (hard to hear the caller on the other line/end).
Apart from this one hiccup, i must say Asus has gone through tremendous length to fill the mid-range gap with such high grade components at a price which is affordable for most end users. Kudos ASUS!!

But without 3g it will last slightly more than 24 hours with 1 hour talk time and 1.5 hours of music and 15 minutes of camera usage.

i bought zenfone 5 and extremely happy with it. I didn't considered Mi3 for just only for snapdragon 800 processor, which is no use for me. What i needed was a powerful phone with dual sim(i wanted to carry one phone), Good look with nice build quality and of course within nice budget from reputed well known Brand. Zenfone 5 full filled everything though battery side is little down side but manageable. I just mesmerized with it's touch response and ZenUI. ZenUI is a complete make over and make it feel premium lot better than MIUI. I got system updates 3 times from asus since i bought. Camera of zenfone 5 is best within Rs20,000/- price bracket. When buying a phone don't fall for Mpixels but check for image quality. Plays high end games like asphalt 8 flawless and without lag though loads marginally late. Some Games may not compatible with intel even if game is of low end but most of the regular games are running fine, If not then there may a problem, Check it and report. I used Pudini original metallic finish Back cover which enhanced my phones Look, felt expensive than it is. I first thought of considering Mi3 but then i took decision wisely. Now i am sure that i took right decision by not trapped into hype marketing and repent.

AnonD-291102, 05 Aug 2014Hey Friend am very interested to buy this phone.Could you please define the battery back up wi... moreexcept for lil faster battery drain in 3g data usage
i didn't find battery a problem
be it gaming or texting or call or music or gaming.
the battery drains just like any other 5 inch display phone with 2100 mah battery.
and in Indian market almost every 5inch phone under 10,000 price bracket has 2100 mah battery.
yes if u want to use 3g 24*7
then either buy gionee m2 or lenovo p780 with 4000mah battery
or use this amazing gadget,zenfone 5 n buy a power bank which are really cheap these days
