Anonymous, 06 Jan 2015Comment after using zenphone.Those who badmouthing zenphone... moreWell, they just made LG G3 and Lumia 1020(mixed with Samsung Zoom) clones, so we can badmouth them. Cheap rip off. I wish they showed their own style.

Nope, they aren't start-up, what they showed by just copy-paste G3 and Lumia 1020. Oh wait, these are Zenphone 2 and Zenphone Zoom. Start-up, at least these good one, focus on innovations, Asus made 180 degree turn.

About Snap vs Intel - s810 is huge boost in performance (both cpu and gpu; new cores, ARMv7->ARMv8, 28 nm->20 nm), so we have to wait to see test. Still, I think Snapdragon can beat Intel. Overall, Atoms are weak. Look at Core M and it's single core performance (compared to Atom).

            Evh, 05 Jan 2015What is the sensor size and f-number in zenfone zoom? Comment after using zenphone.Those who badmouthing zenphone 2 are too jealous cause i think they spent top doller for some crap like gs5 and trying to convince other people to buy them to face their same misfortune.

                        Are there any in-depth reviews/comparisons of the Z3580 vs. an SD 8XX? I'M curious about its relative performance.

                          Shut up ASUS and take my money! ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Zoom both looking nice but I'll just go with ZenFone 2 'coz it's affordable than the other one.

                                      When I first saw the Zenfone 2 I thought I was seeing an article about the LG G3.

                                      Removable batte.... - oh crap :'S
                                      I'll still consider it. I've always liked Asus & I'd prefer to back the underdog.
                                      Bring it on! :)
