Asus Zenfone 5 A500CG (2014) - user opinions and reviews

Hi guys...bought one ZF5 from a local dealer here in Malaysia...after using it for a week..here is my conclusion based on hands on experience using ZF5:
1: faced "read contact" pop up error
2: battery life really S**KS..max normal calls,texts,whatsapp,with wifi,data and playing a bit games ---MAX 6 hours
3: GPS lag..for waze & maps
4: Feels sluggish for a 2.0ghz multi core with 2gb ram..i've compared with my other phones (lenovo S939 & A850plus) which have a lower specs than ZF5...it feels like my two lenovos are twice faster and smoother when it comes to multi tasking and playing games..
The first 3 problems i managed to solve it by sending my ZF5 to my dealer for a re-flash of the latest firmware..now its working fine with no issue..but the sluggish feeling is still there..
All-in all i think ZF5 is just OK only..with the exception of it's SUPERB Pixel Master Camera and outlook feeling..i advise to be prepared to face either one of the 3 problems i faced or ALL of IT..

AnonD-225857, 17 Jul 2014I am interested in pursage ASUS Zenfone 5 so please give me some answers users of Asus Zenfone... moreasus zenfone 5 not have heating problem if someone say that then he never handle a phone like s4,one x ,z2 these phone go upto 55 c on playing game and asus zenfone 5 maximum is 44 which i get.
camera is good in daylight capture much detail but flash weak for night phone as compare to my one x+.
1000% get 4.4 update proof is zenfone 4.5 also have intel processor clock at 1.2ghz dual core have kitkat preinstall but not launch yet but review video are available and run kitkat on them.
so getting kitkat in 15-30days guarantee really never believe 10k phone can do that much thing i using one x+ and zenfone 5 perform better that one x+ in every aspect.

Hey guys!Planning to buy this phone (Zenfone 5).I found the specifications to be pretty impressive with the given price (awesome).Although i have a few questions for the people who already have the phone and been using it for a while.
1.Battery:How long does it last with heavy gaming?Does it last a day with the internet on 24/7 along with other usage like music and apps?What do you guys think about the overall performance of the battery
2.Gaming:Does it lag while playing high end games?Does it heat up while gaming?
Any other issues?
Thanks in advance guys,waiting for your responses :)
