You should get something that you like the look of, is solidly built and won't die on you soon, has the functions you need and you get it at a price that makes you believe it's worth it and it makes you happy.
You can't expect a perfect phone at this price point, all are a compromise one way or another.
Get one that suits you the most.

Kinjal, 26 Aug 2014Relay that's battery back up good for this phone....Actual ... moreIt is not as good as some others out there, due to 2 factors, HD resolution 5 inch screen and Atom CPU, which has no optimizations in JellyBean and thus wastes a lot of power compared to ARM processors, which have optimisation built into OS.
If you go with Zen, get a 5-10 Ah PowerBook, they are small, light and cheap, easy to carry with you.
In my case so far I did not run out of juice though, but my usage pattern is different from yours, and I have several smartphones so there's a limited time I spend on each.

I am confuse between S850 and Asus ZenPhone 5 because Lenovo S850 is 15,000 INR, while Zen 5 is 10,000.
And there is no big different beside 5MP front cam and 16GB, because i can always get 32/64GB card which is very cheaper.
By look i like Lenovo S850... Now i am so confuse :(
And i cant find place to buy Zen5 8GB white :( Its seems Flipkart is playing with customers.
btw anyother powerphone i can buy in same range ?
thank you.

AnonD-298546, 26 Aug 2014We can't add pics for sim contacts. Bu can be done for all ... moreApologies, I misunderstood the question.
You cannot add picture to SIM contacts as instead of pic it always shows icon of which SIM contact is on.
Adding photos is only supported if you copy contacts to phone.
Apologies again.

Click on Support and then on Downloads.
In OS selection choose Android or Other.
Find version 1.17.40 for your version of phone, likely WW.
Download.
Unzip.
Plug phone in your computer with USB cable.
Find device in My Computer/Computer.
Double click it and you will see 1 or 2 drives, Internal Memory, and SD Card, if it is inserted.
Open Internal Memory by double clicking on it and place that file you unzipped into the root folder.
Wait for copy to complete.
Unplug USB cable and you will notice triangle with ! Mark in notifications.
Pull down top left side of the screen and tap on System Update is available.
It asks you if you want to install, which you choose, if you have at least half a battery charge, as you don't want it to go flat midway, although process takes less than 10 min.
Phone will restart, you'll see robot with green cube spinning.
When complete, phone will reboot again, and let you know update was successful.
At that time it will also delete that firmware file from internal memory.
Alternatively, you can wait for OTA update.
