AnonD-282790, 21 Jul 2014I want to buy a smartphone?
But I am confused in between MOTO G & Asus Zenfone 5 8GB.
... moreHey Hardik,I have bought zenphone5 a few days back.
The phone is pretty much decent.
Pros:
* cool look and sleek design
* 5 inch full HD gorilla glass screen
* 2GB RAM , intel 1.6 gHZ makes multitasking smoother
* UI is buttery smooth
* 8mp primary n 2mp front camera gives decent pictures,it also has many other image enhancing features
* true value for money
Cons:
* Often Gets heated up while playing games or heavy multitasking.
* 5inch screen may be a bit bulky to handle.It Depends.
if you keep brand name aside,I would rate it better than motoG in terms of features and value for money.

i want to ask again to the people making a hue and cry about zenfone 5's battery,
Except a phone or two every 5 inch phone under 15k in India has 2000mah battery and most of them are 512mb-1gb ram with mediatek chipset with ppi less than 230 and non ips display.
Asus has given u 2gb ram with intel chipset and 294 ppi and ips display, of course the battery consumption will be higher and for Godz sake any of those mobiles under 15k except canvas power n gionee m2 n xiaomi mi3 will drain fast if u use 3g 24*7.
I am using this phone for gaming music calls and occasional whats app and browsing and it is lasting from 10 am to 8 pm , which is fine for me.
But if u want 3g 24*7
For any phone under 15k except the 3 phones i have mentioned, u will need a power bank.

vaibhav, 21 Jul 2014Front camera is blured ???It obviously lacks the lens and sensor quality of the main cam, but that said it doesn't completely suck either.

Just took this shot and placed it together with the rest of ZenCam photos... only this one is taken with front cam, the rest are taken with the back cam.
One thing that people here don't talk about - there is a selfie mode on main cam. You select number of faces to detect and turn cam to yourself, when it finds all the faces, it will automatically take photo with main 8 MP camera. Just don't do it against strong backlight, else it won't be able to detect any faces...

Picture tells a thousand words, they say, so hopefully this gives you the answers.
Sidenote: those photos were taken with the original firmware that came with the phone. It has been updated 2x since then, I am not sure if the updates changed the anything on camera.

I want to buy a smartphone?
But I am confused in between MOTO G & Asus Zenfone 5 8GB.
I have Some Question as below.
1. How is the quality of camera? I mean in Micromax if camera is 13MP, though when I am zooming a snap taken by it's camera, it losses it's resolution and becomes blurred photo.
2. How is it's performance according it's processor?
3. How is the hardware of this phone?
4. Is there any complaint from the users of this phone??
Please Help me to chose right phone.
Thanks in advance...

I had purchase zenfone5, its having problems,every time after wake up its ask your permission to read the contact even after click to don't show this message again.
In viber other caller facing very much eco problem could not talk on viber,
If use line in one time again show the problem and frequently we have to restart.
This is the worst phone I ever purchased,Might be not having proper quality control.
