    this phone is handles very well with jellybean however, recently launched kitkat update destroyed every moment i was enjoying with the phone. after the update, things go freezing when used and requires me to reboot the phone. this kitkat update is going to kill the zenfone market in the philippines. a lot of us lined up to get the phone because of its performance with jellybean OS. if you have kitkat available in your area, DO NOT UPDATE!!!

                From ASUS side only 2.19.18 is the lateset update which is available for partially battery draining issue to fix. other than this i haven't listen.

                perhaps both are same.
