Maybe a bit of information for those considering to buy ZF5... Asus has in Thailand just launched 16 GB version of the phone at the same price as 8GB before this.

It has 16 GB EMMC, 2 GB RAM, same 1.6 GHz Atom 2x2 CPU, and is WW-3G version.

The price is 5990 THB, or slightly below 200 USD.

So the same might be coming to your territory as well.

Here's the link to one of the shops that sells it at this price:

www.jaymart.co.th/productdes1.asp?proID=8424

Available colours are white, black and gold. Not sure whether the red version is also available in 16 GB model.

          How is the call quality, ringtone loudness and other basic qualities which a phone is ought to have when compared to Moto G? Has it got noise cancellation and better battery backup than Moto G? Does it support USB OTG?

              Apps Disabling(for better battery life)
              -----------------------------------------
              If you disable some of the app,it may result in better battery consumption and for sure more free RAM!!

              If you go to Setting,App,swipe left,you reach preloaded screen.Click on each of the application ,then you can disable like Chrome(if you are not using it),Amazon Kindle etc

              Apart from this swipe right and reach ALL application menu,there ,you go each app by app.
              Like Android Live Wall paper- If you are not using disable it.FaceLock,Google Text to Speech Engine,THinkViewFreeOnline etc etc…

                                    I am using this phone from last few weeks. I just love it. Anyone planning to buy this one, dont think anymore.. just buy it but please do remember you are spending only 10k here in India.

                                    GUI and Software: splendid work on GUI. ZenUi is the best skin I knew and used over Android OS. I just love the way the fonts and colors are used on this phone giving it a premium look. Installed apps are just fine. Waiting for the KITKAT update.

                                    Hardware: nothing to say, the phone says it all. Superb performance ... superb speed, superb touch and display.

                                    Camera performance is just fabulous.

                                    I am still evaluating all centimeter of it. I just can not say in words how I love this device being mine. I bought one more after sometime.

                                    Headphone wire length is less but good quality. I am loving it.



                                    Few things though can be worked upon by Asus. Display brightness. It is really low but ways available to increase and control it.

                                    Battery back up is a note for all. Do not expect much if you are a power user. keep a back up if roaming.

                                    Builtin speaker is not that good and loud but I think these speakers are not made for others listening the device from far.

                                    The Asus flip cover is a bit concern looking at the price tag. It is heavily priced. Better you all go for a 3rd party on this.

                                    Asus after sales service is also okay. The email support is fine. I am very surprised the way Asus is regularly seeding a system update.

                                    Overall, I am loving it. I am loving it.

                                    Do reply if you need to know anything on this device.

                                    -Aniruddha

No lag at all and when you feel the touch response you fall in love. You can read reviews here about pros/cons and decide wisely. Remember not every phone gives everything but what gives more than value. Choice is always yours.
