To me this sounds like a ROM issue which I do hope they fix.

Marginal is probably an overstatement. I get 12 to 14 hours on a charge, 2 to 3 hours sot. Not good, but good enough to use until there's a fix.

screen is very good as well as the camera. better review on android authority. in fact they placed the zf2 as one of the three best choices under 350$. this phone is a bargain just as one plus one was a year ago.

Or is it strictly in terms of benchmarks?

Easy fix. The Ultra Resolution mode really works by the way, take a look at the samples I posted. Significantly better resolution than stock.

Overall pretty crappy with the poor screen, camera, battery and SoC. The 4GB version might make the SoC and even camera better but screen and camera are still bad. The good thing is it is cheap.

As I stated, if you go for the 720p version, your battery life endurance score should increase over the ZE551ML by about 10-15 hours. And it's cheaper. Seems like a good deal to me, eh?

Unbelievable...
How the hell are these OEMs putting such huge batteries in their phones at 1080p resolution but still getting much worse battery lives than the S6 with only a 2550 mAH battery with a frigging 1440p resoultion?

Use manual settings and then see the awesome pictures the phone produces. The same problem was in my dad's Zenfone 5 also.

Expecting more in terms of Battery, camera, overall cpu and gpu performance, not expecting to see those results.
My only hope is OnePlus Two...., in this price range

Quantify: your link does not work for me. Try a shortener (bit.ly, etc)? I do want to see those images - best would be the same image with the optimiser ON as well as OFF, so we can see the same optimiser effect and compare more effectively the difference. (if that is already the case, then great!)
I am amused at the person saying that the G4 (I gather LG G4) is a bit cheaper than most high end phones today, when it has not been released and there are no prices. Also, zero comparison point with the Zenfone, which is mid-level, not high-level.
