Qqq, 14 May 2015But most of the reviews on the Internet is based on the old firmware. I want to how how is it ... moreYou might have to wait until the reviews from the Malaysia release from this past week, or the US and Canada release next Monday - although those reviews might only appear at the end of the week.

Basically still camera has improved, but video is still crappy, and if you don't have wifi and GPS on all the time, occasional and moderate use should last you well over a day - as long as you don't use the native browser but Chrome or any third-party browser app.

        I'm planning to buy the 4gb version. Can someone tell me how good the battery life is (on moderate usage) and the camera (since i I know the performance is really good)?

          Hello.
          Dual SIM setting only allows to remember which SIM to be used for particular number from recent call list. But it doesn't memorize my SIM choice if I try to call from contact list.
          Kindly help

              Hi.
              I want my zenfone2 to memorize which SIM to be used each time while calling a particular contact? My Moto G used to remember this after Lollipop update. Same is about messaging.
              How to achieve this in zefone2?
              Regards,

It sleeps very well, I lose about 0.5% battery per hour, with all email accounts and google synching. Screen on time has been between 3 and 4 hours, which is Ok but not great.

                    In spite of putting on ultra saving mode battery is draining fast. Seems to be a very serious issue . Prospective buyers wait for more unprejudiced reviews from victims impressed by the specs on paper. It will definitely not go out of stock.

                        Severe issue of poor battery performance even when I am using single sim. Music player and fm send quality not up to mark. I had to charge twice on the first day itself. I purchased from flip kart and there they simply deny any return or exchange policy. Even camera is pathetic doesn't match up to 5mp of Samsung. Just powerful hardware on paper . Was using ciao I remind note definitely beats xenon 2on all aspects. One can compromise on camera /audio but battery is just not tolerable.

                              I hope they update this review, since there was a new patch last April 29 that dealt with most of the camera issues, sans the video recording one.

My had my last phone for three years and changed the protector screen halfway, and all the mini scratches of daily use disappeared and weren't even a problem when they were there. I'd think that to be a non-issue. :)

                                    FINALLY

                                    Asus announced that they will unveil the Zenfone 2 in North America (USA and Canada) on May 18. No details of which phone with which specs, or prices, or even when they will be on sale, but it's better than nothing...

                                      why not test the 4GB version??

                                      "The 18W BoostMaster adapter is included with 2.3GHz/4GB ZenFone 2 model only"

                                      really want to know the quality of the audio playback.

                                        Phone of my dreams (RAM 4GB/ROM 64GB)!
                                        ROOT!? Hope not locked like crappy Samsung.
                                        Dual SIM!
                                        Still have microSDXC slot!!! Not like Huawei P8 and others with "Dual SIM" card sharing. Hope support 128GB.
                                        Stereo Microphones!? (Based on photos, not readed anywhere or tested.)
                                        USB OTG!
                                        MHL output!
                                        FM!
                                        NFC!
                                        LTE!
                                        Only QWERTY HW Keyboard, 120fps video, Stereo Side Speakers, Waterproof, Camera Button, BT4.1 and Wireless Charging missing...

                                        But I'm not sure about 2nd. SIM and 2G data, I will use primary SIM for sync and secondary SIM for unlimited free facebook access, will ZP2 handle this?

                                        My current phone: NEO N003 2GB/32GB, is great but weak signal of GPS, WiFi and GSM. In fact only LTE and NFC missing compared to ZP2, also have 3000mAh battery, Dual SIM+microSDXC card slot, MHL (720p), OTG, FM, Stereo Mic, ROOT... :)
