Don't get me wrong - for me this seems like the perfect phone and I would love it but Asus really seem to be confusing themselves when it comes to this

Sometimes I get the idea that Asus has no idea what they are doing with the Zenfone 2 ... so many variants in terms of processors and memory. A 5 inch and then 5.5 inch (where the difference is quite small) considering they had clear cut 4, 5, 6 inches last year. Then there's the Zoom... I'm just wondering why all this confusion is necessary and why they're not being clear on prices and true release dates for countries... I'm giving up waiting for this phone... even the Honor 6 Plus has a set date for the UK now and I'm very tempted to get that when it hits the shores next month :/

Is the zoom cheaper than the zenfone 2?
It isn't logical.

this is crazy ....the zenfone 2 just got a billion varients now....
this is the 5" hd 720 p with 2gb ram and z3580 ....
asus might also have a 5" version with 4gb of ram and 1080p display...
i will probably go for the 5.5" 720p hd version with z3560 and 2gb ram tat might be the best of them all..
the reason is tat all these varients no matter wat..have 3000 mah battery so the battery life will be the least in the 4gb 5.5" fhd version ...
the battery will last longer in the fhd 2gb ram version but the performance will be slightly better in the 720hd 2gb z3560 5.5" version compared to the fhd 2gb 5.5" z3560 version....the performance of the 720phd 2gb 5.5" z3560 in my assumption will be as good as the z3580 fhd 5.5" 4gb version...
if you are worried about the display ...dont be...coz all the varrients have truevivid tech on top and 400nits brightness and youre hardly going to notice the difference as it is an ips display
i wouldnt recomend going with the 5" version as those varients have just a single led flash which is not even close to that of the 5.5" duel toned flash
a few minor cons with the zenfone 2 tat i found looking at all the videos are below,just check them:
1. there is a shutter delay while taking hdr or low light mod pics
2. the low light mod shrinks the picture quality to 3 mp which is a disapointment that is left by the zenfone 6
3. the front camera angle is quite distorted u might notice
that or not,however there is a selfie mod tat uses the rear camera so no problem
4. the front camera has a slightly laggy picture movement in indoor lighting conditions
5. the power button is on top,its hard to reach..but there is an option of double tap to lock and wake...so no probs
6. the quality of the speakers is still a mystery
7. might heat up quickly
8. the overall size of the phone would have been even better if they had removed their so called iconic design on the bottom...but on the bright side it prevents accedental touches on the home button
9. the capacitive buttons couldve been backlit...
10. no optical image stabilizer
11. non removable battery
besides all this the phone is one of the best phones overall

I dont think none of us will see Intel variant at all. Something is wrong as Dell has it and even Asus own media tablet purhapse rev1. Intel doesnt make money at all on that soc so they probably trash it

I'm getting mad. Htc with preorder you get your device already 10/4 and same goes for samsung. You cant even preorder phone at locally at your country. This is poor Asus choice. And this was already announced in January. I checked tawanies shop and they dont have preorder yet at all. This is strange. Something is wrong with Asus strategy as they announced 2 soc variant. Is it Intel? Cant they delievere? Orni they sabotage their own soc because of atom x family. More money x series less subsidies for z3500 series? Thats why it is Mediatek and Qualcomm as alternative.

Really getting frustrated by waiting for more than one month for the release of zenfone 2 in India. Initially it was told that this mobile will be released in first week of march 2015, but asus has not yet confirmed the date of release in india. Hope that they will release this phone by march 2016. Worst marketing strategy by asus team....please provide an update asap for the $199 zenfone release in India...else we(zenfone lovers) will surely move to purchase other handsets....
