            Phone is good there are 2 negative feedback i am going to give

            1. phone is over heating - if you will do video calling that also up normal heat.

            2. Battery backup is not good, with 2G or 3G if you are using fb, twitter gmail also it will come maximum by 3 hrs back up very bad backup

                                Outstanding. Brilliant marriage of the processor and UI. Almost flawless Zen UI.. no bullshit bloatware and minimally modded with essentials. Display,build quality and feel are superb. This phone would easily have sold for 17k as well. I think the low price is what puts so much doubt in everyone's mind that something must be wrong. I have a 10k rs phone in my hand I can't believe it. The most striking thing for me is how light and sleek it is. I had dropped the Zenfone from my plans when it appeared much larger than the s4 on a YouTube video, but the minute I held it in my hands in real life I was sold. It's just a solid well rounded well weighted body. The heaviness that the Moto G conveys is what put me off bout it. The Zenfone is a nice slab of tech sensibility that you easily forget is in ur pocket despite its 5".
                                Issues.. nothing extraordinary. I have been heavy testing the battery since 8 am today morning.. updated the firmware, watched HD videos, youtubed played a few light games, used the hotspot for over an hour while browsing on my tablet, pics and video cam testing, this is when I was downloading Skype WhatsApp and other essentials in the background not to mention the firmware update. Played music , fiddled with settings and everything, and didn't turn the display off the whole time....except when I was hotspotting..but tons of downloads in the background then. Never switched data off, still typing on the device. It's 1 pm now and the battery just hit 16%. Nothing impressive. But only what I would have expected with the use, not worse. Would easily last a day for routine use and browsing. The included headphones are some of the best I have seen with a phone and have 3 sizes of in ear rubber stoppers which I loved. NB I m a massive audiophile. The speaker volume is not very loud true but is definitely adequate and what it plays is crisp and clean. Ringtones are easily heard. In fact the lousiest vibe I got from this phone was the vibration in the tactile feedback that was turned on by default. It would vibrate when u pressed back etc..which had this tinny metallic feel to it rather than a solid woody one which I think comes down to the physics of a thin device. It's a useless overdone feature which I immediately turned off. The camera is very adequate and much better than the feces they peddle with the Moto G. I dint buy the 16g cos I have no use for so much Int memory. 32GB sd is plenty for me. The other downer is there are no cases and screen guards available in stores yet cos of how new it is, shops have promised to get them within two weeks. Oh and I was always on a single SIM mind you, no clue bout dual SIM performance. Screw the second SIM, for the money I saved I m gonna buy a feature phone that won't need charging till the next world cup.

                                TL;DR The smartest 10k rupees you will have spent on a tech device in years.
