                          Em using dis cell for about 6 7 days didnt face any problem yet...this is d bst phn in dis price range.....i concluded the following

                          Excellent display nd user friendly interface
                          Many customisations dat u will get in smartphones priced above 20k
                          Sound quality is not too low as per reviews its pretty decent
                          Battery is also not bad over wifi and screen on - it gives backup of around 6 hours with continuous usage ,enough for a one day
                          Excellent browsing experience with stock browser
                          Decent camera as compared to phones of similar range

                          Overall its a very good smartphone better than any other smartphone in this range. I recommend everyone to go for this phone than any other cheap brands like micromax karbonn gionee...

                            wifi working fine on my device.

                            the battery usage on wifi is much much better than the 3g.


                            i guess 3g battery drain is the only battery issue with the phone.
                            with wifi the battery drains like normal phones

                              guys
                              this is not a 100% sure thing but i have to share it.
                              today i switched of smart saving on zenfone 5 the entire day and
                              the battery back up was better than the days when i keep it on ultra saving mode.


                              please try it and tell me was it a fluke or it is like that

                                Guys please reply me, even though if I switch on the smart saving battery app ON but I am not getting any symbol of smart saving app symbol on my screen. Initially I used to have a battery with leaf symbol on my screen. But now I am not getting it.
                                And secondly my weather forecast is not getting update on my lockscreen. But it is updating on my home screen. Why is it so???
                                Please reply me.

                                      The GPS is pathetic on this phone. Doesn't get a lock even when there are clear skies. Google Maps location gets frozen and doesnt move at all. Perhaps thats what u get on a cheap phone!
