Wouldn't recommend, didn't age well. After 2 years I often get random restarts, phone sometimes refuses to boot up for half a day. Keeps happening all the same even after I did a factory reset and even full re-flash that cost me all my data. I also got weird charging behaviour a lot: continuously start/stop charging for hours before settling down. The specs looked good at the time for the price, but lack of longevity is an issue.

More than 2 years in use with muly ZenFone 5z, still no issue with it. I'm pleasantly surprised!
No restarts required, small gliches and bugs in the SO updates were solved. Battery still holds about 5 and a half hours SOT.
Camera is better with Gcam developer app for Zenfone.
Would love to buy the ZenFone 7 but its still too expensive for now.
For now, I am and hope to remain faithful to Asus smartphones. Good jobs guys!

Well, the only thing is, it's successor, Zenfone 6 and Zenfone 7 doesn't sell in my country. My country only get the ROG Phone 2 and ROG Phone 3.
2 years have past and no more Android version updates.

:)
Even though ASUS Zenfone 5z won't get Android OS 11. At least, they maintain security updates.
:)
I am still using this for for 2 years already. Still as good as the day I bought it. No hardware issues. Software is depending on the apps downloaded. Google OS is no exceptions, No app developer produces app without bugs.
Still satisfied with this model.

i had this phone for 2 years and had many sudden issues although using it very gently. it stopped reading SIM card within 6 months of the purchase. it again stopped reading SIM card after the warranty period and it got resolved after getting OTA software update installed. then the power charging and mic stopped working. these are major issues, there were lot of small issues like app crash, game genie crashes the game, etc. worst phone ever. this phone made me switch to IOS.

Instead, it charge much faster than other similar QC3.0 18W.
Works with all QC3.0 charger adapter, and works with any type C cable, even the type C cable is less than 1 dollar, it just charge as fast as the original cable.
This phone only has problem on the USB-PD charging, it doesn't compatible to most of the charger, but I charge with an expensive USB-PD without issue, but USD-PD doesn't charge faster than QC3.0.
Then, on QC2.0, this phone actually constantly charge at around 9W/1A, but doesn't show it is on quick charging. It just show normal charging.
My satisfaction on this phone is 99%.

Alan Sykes, 03 Oct 2020From what I read online. Android OS 10 is the last OS updat... moreI'm satisfied too.
I also owned a Padfone S Plus before, but sold to other people.
Sadly, ASUS seems has not selling Zenfone series to many of the country, including my country, doesn't get the Zenfone 6, 7, and 7 Pro.
Instead, they are focusing on marketing the ROG Phone series, the new ROG Phone 3 is launched not long ago.
The main reason why they doesn't sell the Zenfone series anymore is due to the stiff competition from China brand, such as OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Realme, Oneplus, and Huawei.
With the fall of HTC brand, ASUS brand fought the competition alone. The second reason of course is their own Zenfone 2 series, that has cause the brand being labeled as worse than China brand.
I really hope that ASUS make a real come back with the Zenfone series.

But doesn't mean that Asus will forego security updates (dunno when Asus will stop the update entirely). As a user of 3 Asus models: Asus Fonepad Note 6 FHD, PadFone S Plus & Zenfone 5z, I'm satisfied.
