The Dropbox is really irritating, the links seem to keep on going dead :(
So I've put that photos onto my FTP server now. Less convenient as you would need to click on the name of each of them to display, or right-click to download them.
http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenCam/
That's the link. The names of the files (original names from phone) have a clue what each photo is.
The end of name can have:
LL - low light mode
HDR - well, HDR
MT - miniature
PN - panorama
DF - depth of field effect
nothing - auto setting
One of the photos (P_20140721_165630.jpg) is taken in auto mode with front camera, the rest are taken with rear camera.
Photos are absolutely NOT in any way edited. Check EXIF data.

Zaroon, 21 Jul 2014hey tomazz, i feel your replies are genuine. Can you please say me how is performance of basic... moreForgot to mention - I use Wifi on either:
100 mbps down, 30 mbps up DOCSIS link or
16 mbps down, 1 mbps up
on Asus RT-N66U router
or
3G cellular 850 MHz/2100 MHz, average 6 mbps down, 3 mbps up.
I have used all of them for my Skype and Line calls and all are equally good.

Zaroon, 21 Jul 2014hey tomazz, i feel your replies are genuine. Can you please say me how is performance of basic... moreUnfortunately I can not answer about Viber; but Skype and Line are excellent.
The voice and video calls (although I use headset as the back speaker isn't loud enough for a normal conversation) are very clear, on a decent connection.
The Skype calls to phone numbers are perfectly clear and I use that often.
I do occasionally have lousy (like dropping out) on voice calls - over cellular network.. you know, standard phone calls, not over internet, but since it usually happens on same person at same location I think it's problem with that person's phone having low signal.
My version of WhatsApp can only record a video or audio message and send it but does not support the calls. There doesn't seem to be an update available.
What I have noticed is that the camera, when taking photos from the screen (from 27" iMac screen) there is a horrible moire on it. Not that Samsung Galaxy Note II is any better, but HTC One X cleaned that up in software, Zen doesn't.
Also when making video calls, or recording off a screen, despite having 50/60 Hz setting in camera settings, neither of them worked when I tried to video call (or just record and send video file) of the Zenbook U32 screen... like if that screen is not of any standard refresh rate, bars kept on coming over the video.
I did not try with any other screen, but it could mean blinking if you're using CCFL lights or try to send a video from a computer screen.
Other than that - no complaints at all.
And apologies for Viber... I never used it, so I really don't know. Maybe someone else here?

Eg: htc desire 310 ,xperia l
There r hardly 230ppi.
The display rocks. Try hd wallpaper and u would know the quality.
Camera in day light is extremely good. Low light captures aren't high standard but decent for budget phone.
And modes like gif, in depth, panorama etc are good.
My airtel 2g network works perfect and areas where 3g network is good i use 3g with H+ health.
Wifi i haven't tried yet.
The only issue with this phone is the battery drain which everyone is complaining about.
I have used it for a week now and have noticed that the rapid battery drain is only during the use of 3g data
Otherwise the battery drains like normal phones, be it gaming or call or music or video

anubhav, 21 Jul 2014Kindly tell me what has 2gb ram got to do with the internet speed or speed of wifi?Ram, be it computers or mobiles has to do with the overall performance of a device.
Higher the ram smoother and lag free the interface.
From smooth performance to opening number applications at one time, everything depends on ram.
As u may have noticed,people might have complained about battery issues here but hardly anyone has any negative reviews about this phone. That is because 2gb ram makes the device perform extremely good
