            Nice Feedback frank! :)
            I really like what you've said.
            I am also a Zenphone 5 user for almost a month now.
            Very much satisfied with the unit even if we saw some disadvantages like battery life or heating issue, every phone has it owns positive and negative but for this one, you can't actually imagine how ASUS deliver a unit like this despite of the fact that it only cost around 6 to 7k here in Philippines.

            For those who have tight budget and looking for a very nice phone, go to ASUS ZENPHONE 5, don't based only to those commenting so much negative about the phone!. .

            See it for yourself, go to ASUS showroom to check it.
            But in my case, reviews matters, Zenphone 5 does really have more Positive reviews that negative. Check it out, not just here in GSMARENA! :)

                You see here's the problem. I have an Oppo Find 7 as well, and Zen's battery lasts at least 3x longer. And when it comes to camera, in 1080p you would be hard pressed to guess which video was taken with which phone (obviously, in 4k shooting Oppo takes the title).

                If you used a standard resolution screen, not FullHD or 4K, and compared the photos, except for better fine details from Oppo, and more saturation from Asus it's also very hard to know which photo came from which phone.

                Obviously at 100% zoom, that's immediately crystal clear.

                But with Oppo being one of the best camera phones out there, I would say that Zen holds up well.

                Obviously when you consider the fact that you could buy one Zen for each family member for the price of one Oppo, I think it is a very good bang for buck.

                I would kindly like to ask you to provide suggestions to people who are not willing to spend on G3/Find7/S5/Z2, and have a 10k RS budget - what phone that does not suck should they get?

                  CHT is supposedly for Hong Kong.

                  Maybe someone else can confirm this…

                  CNT I do not know though.

                                  Hi im from the Philippines

                                  im planning to buy this phone , i check it out online by watching videos for antutu and game test camare is good and the performance is great ,, it was amazing and majority of those videos inspired audience to buy the product. here in the philippines it cost around 6k to 7k with this specs hyper threading which is the newest features of Intel it really makes me decide to buy it . :) i work for dell tech support and usually beside me is a laptop with hyperthreading capability no issue with the performance and also FYI if the core is 2 and it has hyper threading it is totally equal to 4 core . try to watch some videos that will show how the hyper threading works :).. remember that intel known as manufacturer for processor that is for multitasking not totally for gaming but take note that all processors once they have been used for intense gaming definitely there is a high chance of getting hot with the device, known negative reason they compare the intel to AMD is because of heating but if you know about the processor like AMD and Snapdragon they were designed for gaming purposes but they were also designed for overclocking and result of having that is higher chance of heating and faulty processor ., but AMD and snapdragon are amazing processors . just manage your task and take care of your phone in reality there is no perfect world when it comes to technology , one thing i like about this device is the 2gb ram . ram known as the processing memory if you have processor that has a hyper threading and 2gb ram for processing memory and with this price men it's just like u've got one of the hottest girls in town right :).. if you want to buy ths phone i advice you to visit ASUS store and check it out there , feel it .

                                        krikkrik, 12 Aug 2014Hi, anyone who's using Zenfone 5, can your help me to solve... moreI don't have that issue with WhatsApp, but then I did allow it to read my contacts when it first asked.

                                        As for Kit Kat - you can't do it, because there is no KitKat release for ZenFones from Asus yet. It has been promised to be released soon, and from what rumours we hear, it is coming together with the whole PadFone family ZenUI updates. That's just a rumour.

                                        Phone does support KitKat, and when it's ready it would get available for download from Asus site, and/or OTA updated to your phone.

                                        But as of now, it's not available. Sorry.
