Anonymous, 18 Jul 2014What type of sim you used a original microsim or cutted re... moreIf your SIM has small contacts, you can cut it. If it has larger contacts, then cutting it to microsim would cause the contacts to get chopped off on the side - that could cause problems.

So you can cut the mini-SIM with the cutter as long as you still have some plastic around the contacts left when you're done. If cut would go right into the contacts - don't do it.

    Anonymous, 19 Jul 2014Dear Kirti, Whether Zenfone 5 has led notification, with m... moreFYI - the new firmware broke notification light. Now even using the Motorola's widget to turn it on and off no longer works.

    But as it used to, I guess it's a matter of fix in the next firmware.

    There is no setting for it in the settings, though. Also it has only 2 LED lights, missing blue one, so it can only make notifications in red, orange or green. But not white or blue, even if your widget supports those.

      The 8 MP can be used on Auto setting of camera, other settings may be lower. Some are 8 MP as well, some are less.

      Phone uses 4:3 sensor, so if you choose 16:9 (shape of the screen), maximum is 6 MP.

        chandan, 17 Jul 2014is it true? Yes, 6 video files in a row, 90 minutes approx. each, admittedly dark room, all MKV files in 1080p, maximum volume, each file 1.5-2 GB, on Sandisk U1 32 GB microSD card, screen set to automatic brightness (although admittedly quite dark due to dark room). At 30% phone switched to some power saving mode, not sure what it turned off, but last video file didn't look any different from the others. At the end of last one, there was 9% of battery left.

          lubana, 18 Jul 2014Anyone who uses Asus zenpone 5 please tell me the few thing... moreCamera quality is good in day light , but night it is problem as the phone has got a very weak led flash.but there is an interesting setting in the modes called night shot where u can shoot pictures in low light without led flash. Coming to the ram it has 2 gb ddr 3 ram.The audio quality is top notch through the asus provided headphones.But the external speaker is poor but manageable.The only complaint is the battery for which asus would do some kind of optimization in the promised kitkat update.Last words just go for the 8 gb version it is worth it .better than samsung grand 2, sony xperia zr, you will never regret.

                                    This mobile sucks!! It's getting switched off automatically and when I try to switch it on it displays "No Battery" and it will be switched off again. After a few minutes when I charge it, it gets switched on with the old battery percentage.
