I just received my ASUS Zenphone 5 today. But to my total dismay, the phone, about which I have read such rave reviews, just would not switch on. I have been using an Xperia Pro for more than 2 years now, but this is just exasperatingly bad performance. When switched on, the screen lights up to an off-while color, flickers for a while and goes dark. It is just not booting up. Man, this is frustrating. ASUS guys, please help, or someone. I am getting it replaced for a new one, or getting a refund otherwise.

            I have heard about issues with problem with volume (of the person you are talking to) while talking on phone.

            Is that true? or it depends on your luck?

Microsoft will not extend their android development for Nokia X series phones. Now they will clear their stocks. Zenfone 5 is under active development and will continue. Other things you decide. Choice is always yours.

                          Palani asva, 20 Aug 2014Net speed ok. But the battery is very worst. No gorilla glass. No Gorilla Glass!!!!!!!! Who said to you? Why you are making false statement here? Battery worse is history. Check corning gorilla glass website for confirmation.
