        luke , 26 Aug 2014But when i bought it from flipkart it showed upgradable to ... moreThis means that it supports KitKat, and that it is being planned and developed.

        When it is available, you will be happy to download 1.4 GB firmware file over your cellular connection, and click Install Now.

        But at this moment, the software is not yet released to public.

        Release date will depend on the fixing of the applications for compatibility with KitKat, which is in process.

        Some expect it to be released next month.

        KitKat will bring you more speed, better battery life, new dialler, and a whole set of new restrictions on the use of SD card.

          Rajakumar, 26 Aug 2014Hi.. Every Body... I purchased ASUS Zenfone 5 last week fr... moreAre you sure you got the real one?

          I mean, mobile phone cameras are not in DSLR quality standard, but in good light they do challenge the compact cameras. And the cam in Zenfone, for 8 megapixel camera is actually on the higher end of sharpness and details.

          It is certainly comparable or better than most of other 8 MP phones that you can find, so saying that it's not even comparable to VGA (0.3 MP) is an outright lie, and would only be possible if you have bought a fake phone or one with broken camera module.

          I have posted the photos, taken with this phone before, and I'm a little lazy to take new ones and post them for you, but you can see them at www.mega-networks.asia/ZenCam/ taken straight from camera (check EXIF for confirmation).

          Now please assist from your side and provide links to photos you took with a VGA camera, and let the audience decide if Zen's photos are really worse than that.

          Thank you.

                AAshwi, 26 Aug 2014Hi all, i m thinking to purchase Asus Zenfone 5 with 16G... moreGrand Neo is more plasticky than Zen, and is in specifications weaker on just about entire front.

                Be careful if your operator uses 850 or 1900 MHz for 3G, as Neo doesn't support them. Camera on Neo is also mediocre, so is the screen, with about half the resolution of Zen's screen at the same size. It also has 1 GB of RAM and comparable CPU speed, although Atom will likely outperform that Qualcomm chip in most tests.

                Only advantage could be battery life on Neo, and possibility that there are more Samsung service centres in India than there are Asus ones.

                Eventually it is your decision, though. Whatever you like more.

                      I purchased zenfone 5 in last week.
                      Main concern, I am facing is delay while playing Temple Run 2. When we use whats app also scrolling the conversation, it is not smooth move.

                      Battery gives me a day back up (~24 hrs) after continuous use of 3G connectivity. I dont think it is issue.

                      Loudspeaker is not really laud.
                      But music through headset is awesome better than Samsung or Nokia.
                      Headset quality is good.

                      ZenUI is superb.

                          Hi.. Every Body...
                          I purchased ASUS Zenfone 5 last week from FLIPKART based on their advertisement in their web.
                          Camera quality is very very worst...even not comparable with VGA camera...then, the sound effect is very very low.
                          So, I suggest don't buy this products.

                              Guys ,

                              Today i have seen ( So called) MI3 with one of my colleague and thanks to my luck for that i could not purchase it. Cheap mobile . On paper it is O.K but physically you will not find even a single point to compare with Asus Z5. In every aspects my Z5 is supereb. I really apppreciate sincere effort of @Tomazz and @PARSAD who giving non stop advice to us.

                                    CPU scaling policy used is interactive ,still I guess any CPU will scale up to the peak with in no time if there is load.Do you have different experience I mean did you notice a slow scaling to upper frequencies ?
                                    Also ,to my understanding ,Z5260 Low frequency Unit's highest frequency is 800Mhz.So going down below 800Mhz may not yield power benifits.
