the battery life of zf5 is less than moderate, opera mini around 4-5 hours, mx player around 2-4 hours(depend on 480p or 720p). average use during outing(fb and opera mini) from 12pm till 7pm left 30-40%. night time idle took 10%. all the figure with 3g connection. and using wifi, the life is longer than 3g.

gadgetmaddnez, 07 Jul 2014How about huawei honor 3c? But i'm not sure it is a good phone either, the seller at lowyat di... moreHonor 3c is a very good phone. Its compatibility with apps and memory configuration is better than ZF5 as a fact. Nonetheless, built qualities of ZF5 is better than 3C, and the design/look of ZF5 -which's totally subjective -is better.

AnonD-271997, 07 Jul 2014Bought this phone yesterday. The battery runs out really fast and take long time to recharge. ... morePlease update your firmware to the latest firmware correctly, then, uninstall/disable unuse apps that you do not use. ZF5 tends to pack a list of apps that not everyone are fond of. BY doing so should solves most of ur issues.

AnonD-271997, 07 Jul 2014Bought this phone yesterday. The battery runs out really fast and take long time to recharge. ... moreI donno you guys but the battery life seems so good to me. From morning until end of the days. Maybe because I used galaxy s3 for the past 2 year, s3 battery life is terrible, so compare with z5, I'm super happy.
Try change your USB charger , because something it is due to the charger.

for zenfone5's user, i wanna ask about the battery life. How many hours the phone it can stay from 100%? Please give the detail, example opera mini:3hours, instagram:3hours, etc.
Also zenfone 5 is originally jelly bean. so when you ugrade it to kitkat, is there any problem?
Thanks :)

Bought this phone yesterday. The battery runs out really fast and take long time to recharge. Also gets hot easily and unable to open facebook and snapchat. Tried reinstall it but nope. Not working. The speed of camera capture is abit slow compare to sony too but since its only rm600 in malaysia so its quite worth it

Is a good budget smartphone. I'm a Malaysian, so I bought this in Malaysia. This phone Won't get hang easily like samsung smartphones, everything goes very smooth. But you have to charge your phone once a day if you always use to online or else you can charge it every two days. But technologies are so advanced nowadays, you can always bring a power bank with You to charge it. I can do many things by using this smartphone such as download pdf file from email, skype or Facebook messenger. Before this, I was using iPhone 4 and samsung galaxy ace. But after I changed to this phone, I don't think I will use apple and samsung anymore. iPhone have banned a lot of stuffs which causing me a bit troublesome because I always use my phone to work and samsung always lag whenever I tried to download files. So if you guys are searching for a budget smartphone, you guys may go for Asus zenfone 5. Just the battery finishes easily but you can't blame because it just 2110 mAh but is way more better than samsung. So conclusion, this Asus zenfone 5 is a good phone. :)
