        got this coming from the note 3, excellent in all ways. Charge is fast with the fast charger. 4GB is really noticeable, who cares about an extra millisecond in opening an app, its the inapp performance that counts. Try scrolling in an app like google photos with this vs anything else, and you can see the difference ram makes. Surprisingly good.

                      The direct competitor to the Zenfone 2 is actually the Alcatel OneTouch 3, 5.5 which you didn't even mention in the conclusion.

                            Most Pathetic phone voice app stops in between while having concall's, battery drains more than what it states in review
                            external memory card is not supportive, it cause major failure to app's working

                              LOL these are the most oversaturated camera photos I have ever seen in my life! I am sure there is something wrong with the firmware (even the updated one!), cause photos can't look this bad.

                                      satish, 06 Jun 2015Battery is not good...Just FHD screen but the battery is sucks.

                                      Also the camera is very artificially looks fake saturated colors

                                        I am using zf2 for past two months and i have not seen any performance issue or phone hanging issue even once. I have installed more than 25 apps including 1.5 GB of two games.

                                        Negative side is camera and battery only.
                                        If we change camera manual setting like below it is awesome, but on zooming the photo, pixels are breaking...sat+1,contras+0.5,sharpness-1,noise reduction+3, backlight0, detail enhancement+1

                                        On the battery side, for normal user(bit heavy also), battery last for me one whole day....I dont have any problem with it.

                                        phone reponse is awesome which all other phone lag......i will suggest others to buy this if dont expect VERY high quality photos......
