                      The design is good. And it feels comfortable in hand too. I got the 2gb ram version, the performance is pretty good, I have ran plenty of games without problems. It's just that the volume of the speaker isn't that loud. Otherwise, all great. Definitely worth every penny u spent.

                            sk, 22 Jul 2014seems no noise cancilation or duel mic in zen 5.That is incorrect.

                            There is a main microphone 1.5 cm left of centre at the bottom, and the ambient microphone 1.5 cm right of centre at the top.

                            So it does have noise cancellation.

                            The call quality is better than Samsung Galaxy Note II.

                              Please see the screenshots from the Zenfone below for my experience (2 SIM cards, 850/2100 MHz 3G SIM1, 1800 MHz voice only on SIM2 - different telecoms):

                              http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/Battery-after-1-day.jpg

                              http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/Battery-after-2-days.jpg

                              Note: the ultra power saving mode, or whatever is called, is automatically turned on at 30%. The phone is set to balanced power mode.

                              The 3G speedtest, which some say is 15-30 kbps:

                              http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/3G-speedtest.jpg

                              And does it have FM radio? Mine does.

                              Battery life depends a lot on the quality of the network signal and the usage pattern. My signal is perfect, and my usage pattern is light to moderate.

                              I don't do gaming, but use it for calls, SMS, FaceBook, Line, WhatsApp, Skype, 3x push Email (Exchange, Gmail and Yahoo Mail), when at home it's on wifi usually, when outside it's on cellular.

                              It also handles my calendar and all notifications.

                              Your experience may be different. Depending on usage pattern and signal quality.

                              For those who scare people with battery life - I am asking you to show your battery setting screenshots, so maybe we can see what sucks your battery dry.

                              The phone is on latest 1.15 firmware.

                              Thank you.

Almost every reveiwer on flipkart is crying about the battery life. All other features are great at this price range. But whats the use if you wont have the backup to utilise those features. The backup is not only bad, its too bad.
