I am using Asus zenfone 5 for the past 3 days, it looks great in hand. I personally feel, overall quality of the phone should be improved to compete with samsung.

Things you can expect:- very good display, speed etc.. QUALITY :(
Datacable dint fit the port in the mobile properly.
the speaker filter is very bad quality.

Touch was great but it is not working properly. it will take it to service center to correct it.

If you would like to buy a Quality phones Asus not for you!! but you compromise then there is no phone which is equal to this...

camera is better still room for improvement in the camera register chip... Good for day light photography. if you understand the phones camera options well you can create magic....
IF ASUS would have stuffed the camera with larger chip, you will not think of buying other device.

Great UI and easy navigation and ASUS have provided easy mode which looks great

Call quality is superb no problem and not faced any issues with signal.

The device has got the good sound stuffed into the device but the headset they provided could have been a better like HTC and tangle free.. still not a disappointing headset.
For music lovers you should get a good headset and for music details.

Battery expect a days or below.

overall good phone eventhough i have touch problem in my device

      Try downloading Mobogenie but not from the Play Store. You can install plenty apps just like Play store but doesn't need to sign in your gmail.

                ken, 01 Aug 2014no , it is not, it can operate 3g on one sim at a time only... moreYeah, I know that only one phone can be 3G at a time (HTC doesn't allow this though :/).

                Now my only concern is if the SIM 2 will be reachable when using 3G on SIM 1 and vice versa.

                      @virus40 is the phone comfortable for u to hold in the hand or carry around in the Pocket? I was initially hesitated to buy this phone bcoz of its size, but I just cannot ignore the features that it offers at 10k.

                          after the 3rd update:
                          the rare force closing of some system apps have now been corrected.
                          u cn clear all the background apps at one go.

                          but there is some bug in the stock music player, even if i scroll down the songs list it come to centre automatically.
                          also the while scrolling through the gallery, its nt smooth. it was fine before the update. they might rectify it in the coming updates :)

                                K Choudhary, 02 Aug 2014There is no FM as per his cpecification.gsmarena specifications are not 100% correct always

                                gsmarena didn't write that
                                zenfone 5 has dual noise cancelling mics
                                similary fma radio is also not mentioned.


                                or may be only Indian version has fm
                                that is why it has not seen mentioned.



                                i am a zenfone 5 user and whatever i write here on this page is absolutely true.
