vaibhav, 21 Jul 2014Front camera is blured ???It obviously lacks the lens and sensor quality of the main cam, but that said it doesn't completely suck either.

Just took this shot and placed it together with the rest of ZenCam photos... only this one is taken with front cam, the rest are taken with the back cam.
One thing that people here don't talk about - there is a selfie mode on main cam. You select number of faces to detect and turn cam to yourself, when it finds all the faces, it will automatically take photo with main 8 MP camera. Just don't do it against strong backlight, else it won't be able to detect any faces...

Hopefully this works.

Photos are completely untouched - as they were pulled out of the phone.

Picture tells a thousand words, they say, so hopefully this gives you the answers.
Sidenote: those photos were taken with the original firmware that came with the phone. It has been updated 2x since then, I am not sure if the updates changed the anything on camera.

I want to buy a smartphone?
But I am confused in between MOTO G & Asus Zenfone 5 8GB.
I have Some Question as below.
1. How is the quality of camera? I mean in Micromax if camera is 13MP, though when I am zooming a snap taken by it's camera, it losses it's resolution and becomes blurred photo.
2. How is it's performance according it's processor?
3. How is the hardware of this phone?
4. Is there any complaint from the users of this phone??
Please Help me to chose right phone.
Thanks in advance...

I had purchase zenfone5, its having problems,every time after wake up its ask your permission to read the contact even after click to don't show this message again.
In viber other caller facing very much eco problem could not talk on viber,
If use line in one time again show the problem and frequently we have to restart.
This is the worst phone I ever purchased,Might be not having proper quality control.

AnonD-279813, 21 Jul 2014Umm... disagree.
At least in Thailand, most youngsters n... moreAppreciate your insights into the usage part of it.
On the top frustration, I rooted the phone and with the tasker,I am downclocking to the phone to 800MhZ max for all the cores (when display off) and when the display is on ,I bring only 2 core(preferably from the same CPU) to 1.33MHz (maximum).
Touch response is good and duration in the Airplane mode and Standby mode is considerably improved.

AnonD-285641, 21 Jul 2014can someone who have tested 3g in this cell, please tell me... moreI tested it right now, and I've tested it last night. Obviously now there are many people in this area, so the speed is lower than in the evenings, when most people pack up and move out of CBD.
Night time: 6.76 mbps / 3.62 mbps
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85881419/Screenshot_2014-07-21-01-46-48.jpg
A few min ago: 5.52 mbps / 1.77 mbps
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85881419/Screenshot_2014-07-21-11-31-04.jpg
A month ago when I first got it: 16.23 mbps / 1.20 mbps
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85881419/Screenshot_2014-06-17-18-12-53.jpg
This is not 15-30 kbps range. Admittedly it's not as fast as our telecoms claim the connections to be, but by no means lousy results either.

janz80, 21 Jul 2014I've noticed that battery consume quite high but it become ... moreI'm using 2 SIMs but they are both on same frequency.
On another phone I am using 2 different frequencies on SIMs and battery life is considerably shorter.
Obviously 2 SIMs will burn more power than single SIM, but even with 2 SIMS from 2 different telecoms (in my case TrueMove-H used for calls and 3G, and DTAC, used only for voice, NO DATA) it still lasts, admittedly on light use, enough to be charged every other day.
Which is the same as Samsung Galaxy Note II, with TrueMove-H, and about equivalent use.
3 push emails, Line, WhatsApp, sometimes Skype, some calls, FaceBook, occasional camera.

AnonD-186498, 21 Jul 2014I want this. But they don't have a FM Radio. Mine certainly does have FM radio.
I know so does ZenFone 4.
Where did you get information that it doesn't have it?

fwz, 20 Jul 2014Hello guys. I have been using this phone for about a month ... moreMaybe someone else has, but my GPS is accurate to a couple of metres. So it could be issue with your phone. I would contact Asus support and at least ask them what to do.
How inaccurate is it?
