Worst phone I have ever owned. First problem was it did not recognise USB. Then would not recognise SIM card. To fix these took 10 weeks. Latest was that it statics badly and gets very hot. DWI did not fix under warranty - claimed it had been water damaged but it definitively had not been. Not 1 year old, but I am throwing it away and getting something decent like Samsung or Iphone

          One of the best phones I have used so far and I have used a lot. The only problem I had with this phone is the in-built BLOATWARE. Had to manually DISABLE a lot of them before things got a lot stable and fast. Those bloatware if enabled will consume a lot of the 2Gb ram and slow down EVERYTHING.

          DO NOT update/uninstall any apps with "ASUS" in the name and you should be fine....

            Approximately One and a half year of use, and I have never seen a phone so perfect for this price range. Beside, Asus not being part of the top 5 sellers in the phone business, You will enjoy the pleasure of having a unique phone when friends and family still carry "generic" phone trademarks (samsung, apple, etc...)

                Hi, fellow peps.
                I know, this review is 1 year late. But, there are still people buying this phone so here's my opinion on the lasting capability of this gem on the 2014 market.
                As for the start, no issues whatsoever, like literally, no issues. You enjoy the fast performance of the Intel core and also the smooth ride 2GB ram, sounds great right?
                Yes it is, and then you realize that you will use this phone longer than 1.5 years, which is the limit to budget phone's healthy life spam. After that you're welcomed with: A. Laggy overall use with FaceBook installed. B. While using Youtube you'll have that annoying lag happening all over the place, not for long though. C. The battery counter will suddenly count battery percentage like a women's mood, up and down and boom, sudden shut down due to no power left. I am not saying this is bad or what but, this is something which will greatly disappoint ASUS users. As for my case I promised to myself never purchase any ASUS phones again. Thanks for reading and have a nice day:).

                        Hi good day. I just want to ask if what is the reason why I'm not able to access online apps like facebook, messenger, clash of clans and my more apps on my zenfone 5. I just updated my system. Is there any way to resolve this problem?

                                Its really disgusting to have this phone, It was offered to us bu our company last june 2015 then right now it totally sucks. I recommend do not update system because there are some apps that wont delete anymore and it will consume your storage. another thing is the network type the box Asus had indication of LTE but when i found out its only GSM and HSPA. so dont ever buy this phone anymore.
