This phone, really is a kick-ass smartphone if new. At start, it loads, handles and install apps smoothly, thanks to it's Intel Atom processor. Thing went well for the past 6 months. Than comes the 7th month, where its WiFi starts to behave like a kid on steroid. The WiFi indicator will show that its "connected" but in-fact it isn't. It bugs me a little at start than it repeats daily, hourly, minutely and eventually every once a second. It literally becomes unusable in-terms of internet. This phone, a beast at mid-range, failed to keep its promise at reliability.

                          This phone is a beast. compare to other phones that has same price with this phone..

                          Camera is high quality, produce superb image
                          Camera recording is also nice with class 10 sd card
                          Camera has special features.
                          No lags, no heating issue,
                          16gb internal memory expandable with sd card slot.
                          High quality screen resolution
                          No problems in network and data connection on both sim
                          Can play 1080p video smoothly
                          Can play high end games
                          It has nice preloaded asus apps
                          Example:
                          i use asus browser than chrome, bec. Chrome has so many pop ups when i visit some sites that i didnt experience on asus browser.
                          Zenfone launcher that can lock apps rather than other launcher apps.
                          PC link app that can cast phone screen to ur laptop screen using a micro usb cable to usb.
                          Good touch sensitivity.
                          Smart cover compatible.
                          Voice call is very clear.
                          Elegant design
                          Etc.

                          Things i dont like in this phone.
                          1. Large top and bottom bezels, big on pocket
                          2. Not that loud back speakers for notifications
                          3. Battery cant stay longer on wireless connections like wifi,network data usage.
                          4. Power button near up volume key.

                          Amazing phone in its price :)

                            I purchased this device 2 days before. I am quite happy with the phone. but the major problem or concern is about the heating issue while charging. Is anyone having this issue or its only the problem with my phone.

                            Pls share your review.
