I dont always use 300 ringgit phone, but I bought this one and really am not happy with its performance. Lag like nobodys bussiness. Used 1 week fast fast let go already .For those that dont root and just use the phone as is , look somewhere else. This is not the phone you r looking for. Maybe X+ or XL . If nokia is hoping people will upgrade to a better windows phone uafter using this. They can keep hoping.

Customers will Fast fast go back to google android like I did.

Actually with 1gig Dual core and 512mb of ram. It was not surprusing that it lags.Afterall it is not a iphone 4.
The 1mobile appstore have all the apps you would need but I guess a few of them have ads and a lot of popups after installation.

Buy to try out and experiment is ok lah. Too small the screen to make gaming meaningful. Personal opinion only ya.

Sorry cannot help. Usually 300 above.
I was also thinking that a good 2nd hand samsung S2 will be better than this any day.

I scanned the specs for Asus Zen phone 4 copied it from NDTV Gadgets :

Asus ZenFone 4 sports a 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480 pixel) resolution display supported by a dual-core 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2520 processor with Quad-Thread Hyper-Threading Technology and 1GB of RAM. The smartphone also features a 5-megapixel rear and 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera optics. The internal storage is not mentioned by the firm but it can be expanded up to 64GB via microSD card.

All is very similar to Nokia X . Except it has 1GB of ram and Nokia X has only 512mb. Intel Hyperthreading on desktop means the system sees a Quad core processor although it is in fact only a Dual Core Processor.

To summerize :

1. Nokia X : 512MB ram ; AZ4 : 1GB ram
2. Nokia X : Dual Sim ; AZ 4 : Single sim
3. Nokia X : Running Android ASOP . Dont support Play Store and Google Services Out of the box.
AZ4 : Running ZenUI skin on top of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean , upgradeable to Android 4.4 KitKat. Support
all google services out of the box.

Price both around RM350 .

Being a ex owner of Nokia X myself . Choose wisely

For me, I will go Zenphone because

1) With Google Android. I will have everything I need waiting for me once I sign in - Chrome ,Contacts & Maps are what I use most. Say whatever you want but Play Store has become Essential . The 1Mobile Store that Nokia X comes with? I have only install a few mainstream apps like Whatsapp, Chrome, MX player only & the notifications start poping up for "Install Antivirus?" , "Video Ah Moi Hangat" , its full of adware .

Yes, I know I can Hack it and install custom rom and stuff but I am just a normal user. Not a techie. I dont want to do all that just to get what I wanted when there is a cheaper and straight forward way out there.

2) Single button usage. There is only 1 Back button on the Nokia X . While Nokia is trying to differentiate itself from Google, it makes it quite inconvenient too to navigate the phone. One more thing , there is no Application Manager on the phone. "Fastlane" , a feature Nokia touted to let you use the phone more efficiently , acts like an app manager but it does not kill apps. You have to go to 1mobile store to find an application manager or task killer .

3) For android , more RAM means better performance , ZP4 Doubles the RAM of Nokia X, so the performance should be better. I will try to get my hands on a ZP 4 to try it out. I already know Nokia X handles very sluggishly on 10.1.1. With the new 11.1.1, hopefully it will handle better. How much better ? I am not going to spend another RM350 to find out .

4)Price , RM299 vs RM399 . A difference of RM100 , thats a few KFC Dinner Plates right there.

You can always get the Nokia X first if you "Die die want to try new things".If you dont like it, Trade it off and get the Zen. I understand the urge to try Nokias new toy , while Google android has been on the phones that you use for a long time.

Thanks chocobo7779 for clearing things up a bit. I will try to get my hands on a ZenPhone 4 to get a real world prospective of the performance when it comes out.
