AnonD-454049, 22 Oct 2018Nokia phones also have fast updatesYou’re right. But then again like 1+ they run near stock android. Also all 2018 Nokia phones are on android one if I’m not mistaken. When I got my 5z they didn’t have a SD845 toting phone yet. I woulda loved to get a Nokia on the android one program. The sirocco is more expensive and had the SD835. Also it didn’t launch in my country.

      especially the camera from the a8, it was horrible. l was expecting it to be awesome as it was next to the flagship level. it was like a painting. glad l took some shots before buying the galaxy a8 LOL.
      Really happy with my purchase especially with the google camera app ported to it. it's a great app. some pictures that came out from the stock camera was better than the google camera but most of the time the google camera app was killing it hahaha...

        why is there no camera comparison for zenfone 5? i was able to compare the pictures that cam out of note 9 and zenfone 5 in a store inside a mall, taking a picture of my son, and in all honesty, l prefer the picture l got from the zenfone 5. The attendant was insisting l check the note 9's video capabilities and l just said that l was only interested with the quality of the picture straight from the phone LOL

There's a reason a S9 with SD845 and a 5z with SD845 are so vastly different in pricing. The obvious being build quality, materials, sensors etc. But also some money is diverted to software support. At 400 dollars the 5z doesn't have enough money to allocate to a speedy software update program. Only iOS & pixels can give you a speedy update program. But those two start at twice the price, 800 - 900 dollars. In the 500 dollar range only Oneplus can give you that, as they have a near stock UI. Asus and Oneplus are on complete different pricing strategies as their companies have different goals with their products.

          When i got my 5z, i didn't have any expectation for a quick update of software. So i'm taking it as it comes, enjoying my 5z. Hang in there, it'll update soon.

                  originally planned to buy poco f1...rather i ended up with 5z...

                  Reasons that pushed me to get 5z over f1(and these come after thorough research):
                  1. Display(would suggest to watch side by side comparison at you tube to understand the compromise done on f1 display). Coming to 5z display, see it to believe it('LCD is no less' is what the conclusion) (also, there was a risk of screen bleed nightmare)
                  2. Build quality(Metal wrapped with glass - that's enough said)..Corning Gorilla 3 is fine when you gonna pay sub-400$. Despite polycarbonate back nothing much to complain about F1 either(my insane LG G2 was plastic too) except for a comparatively fragile front.
                  3. Camera - Crucial. F1's rear camera despite capturing seemingly good looking shots fail to please when you really notice the softness of photos & 2x zoom(double-tap) that'll leave you staring at images without detail....Low-light photos of F1 were pathetic..(too much a compromise)...On the other hand, 5z hits home run in both the above cases.
                  However, F1 wins hands-down on Front cam - F1 front was delightful while 5z's was fair, if not worse.
                  4. Speaker - Audio: Neck-on-neck. It's a tie
                  5. Battery life - Of course, F1 a clear winner with 4000(2 days) while 5z wasn't worse with 3300(1 to 1.5 days) for casual usage.
                  Personal preference takes the front seat - despite battery life being a crucial decider, my preferences got shaped out of first 3 points above. I'm Ok with 1 to 1.5 days than towards 2 to 2.5 days(with unbearable compromises(for me))

                  To sum up,
                  I'd a crush(blind) with one but ended up tying knot with the most apt one...Thanks to my mind process..

                    Vonarian, 10 Oct 2018Nokia 7+ isn't comparable to ZenFone 5z!Do you mean 5Z is much better with 7+ in terms of built, battery life, camera, thermal control, speed charging and timely updates? FYI, 7+ is better now with Pie.
