              Which one is better Asus Zenfone 2gb ram / 16gb rom or coolpad 7320?

              Coolpad scores 26000 in antutu benchmark while asus only 19000... and coolpad has 8-core processor and Asus dual-core but made by Intel.

              However Asus has 2GB ram and 7320 has 1 GB...

                  no, 16 GB version also have 2560 ( 1600 Mhz ) processor.
                  only difference in internal storage of device which are available in india.. even 6" version also have atom2560.
                  i have already seen all device..(4", 5" AND 6") only 4.5" not seen.

                              Loveforever, 02 Aug 2014Does it support otg no, not until now.

                              but there are rumours that i have heard and seen on various blogs and forums that kitkat update might give otg support in zenfone 5 just like moto g did.

                              i too m hoping that asus does that.
                              as zenfone 4 already is supporting otg out of the box though it is a cheaper phone.

                                n i am not an agent of any company, i am an actual user of zenfone 5 commenting only what have i experienced

                                  AnonD-288293, 02 Aug 2014@virus40 is the phone comfortable for u to hold in the hand or carry around in the Pocket? I w... moreit might be 145grams but asus has divided the weight so neatly that u actually feel that the phone is light.
                                  unlike moto g which feels so heavy as the weight of the phone seems to concentrated at one point only(at the centre)

                                  n i understand ur concern.
                                  i too was using a small phone and it took me 2 days to understand how to hold a 5 inch phone. but that is natural.
                                  within a day or two u will understand how the phone fits perfect in ur grip n u will be able to use the with one hand, though using both hands at times, not always would give u better grip.


                                  do not worry about the weight.it is light for a 5 inch phone.


                                  n yes if u would have been using a very light phone like 100s 90 gms
                                  then yes it will feel heavy not because it is heavy but coz of the fact that ur hands are adapted to hold a lighter device.

                                    I am using Asus zenfone 5 for the past 3 days, it looks great in hand. I personally feel, overall quality of the phone should be improved to compete with samsung.

                                    Things you can expect:- very good display, speed etc.. QUALITY :(
                                    Datacable dint fit the port in the mobile properly.
                                    the speaker filter is very bad quality.

                                    Touch was great but it is not working properly. it will take it to service center to correct it.

                                    If you would like to buy a Quality phones Asus not for you!! but you compromise then there is no phone which is equal to this...

                                    camera is better still room for improvement in the camera register chip... Good for day light photography. if you understand the phones camera options well you can create magic....
                                    IF ASUS would have stuffed the camera with larger chip, you will not think of buying other device.

                                    Great UI and easy navigation and ASUS have provided easy mode which looks great

                                    Call quality is superb no problem and not faced any issues with signal.

                                    The device has got the good sound stuffed into the device but the headset they provided could have been a better like HTC and tangle free.. still not a disappointing headset.
                                    For music lovers you should get a good headset and for music details.

                                    Battery expect a days or below.

                                    overall good phone eventhough i have touch problem in my device

                                        Try downloading Mobogenie but not from the Play Store. You can install plenty apps just like Play store but doesn't need to sign in your gmail.
