Might as well use nokia 3110

Too bad, cancel to buy due to this battery

guys, the package comes with 2 battery right? so you cant say it is very power consuming in that sense. Asus will not give 2 battery if it can last as long as zf5. Btw, i'm satisfy with the battery performance thus far. no serious leaking like 20%...

Hello !! Wanna poison you all liao !! Myy neww toyy has finally arrive!! First ten person in malaysia to have it ★.★ #ASUS #ZENFONE6

wow ini betul2 bakar line. haha. how much did you pay for all of these?

Well, I can share my experience of the Zenfone 4 after using it for a couple of days.

In short, the 1200 mAH battery is fine for a feature ('dumb') phone, but probably a bit too small for a smartphone for really heavy use. Sure, you get an extra battery, but unless you have an external charger so you can charge it when the other battery is being used, it's really not that big an advantage.

Just to check on standby/sleep battery consumption, I charged the Zenfone to 100% and unplugged it before going to bed. In the morning, it has gone down to 94-95%. This is with wifi, mobile data, bluetooth turned off.

Light use with either mobile data or wifi picking up email, Whatsapp, light browsing and it steadily goes down 1% every 3-4 mins. This is with background push and location services turned off. I make it to the end of the day with around 12-15% left, ready for charging again.

Sounds quite alarming, especially for people used to phones with larger 2000+ mAH batteries, but I guess that's the downside of a phone under RM300. We have to remember that, not so long ago, you couldn't even dream of a smart phone at this price. It's just a shame they decided to put a feature phone battery into it .

All that said, I found the ZenUI-skinned Android relatively fast and smooth. All the things were intuitively in the right places and the screen was reponsive.

So again, it is probably fine if you are a light user and don't mind charging your phone every night, but more heavy users will probably want to look elsewhere for another more expensive phone, or walk around with a battery pack to recharge it when you are out and about away from a plug socket.

I myself wouldn't have minded paying a bit more if the Zenfone 4 came with a larger, beefier battery. Maybe Asus will see sense and release a 1800-2000 mAH battery for it at some stage, or hopefully the KitKat upgrade will improve things.

But for now, I guess I really have no real regrets. At worst, I'll move on to another phone, and keep this one as a spare for visiting friends and relatives.

after watching this.. i think i wanna sell my zenfone.. denggg!!

I got a habit of pic must be black and white haha. sorry bro. er, i bought rm 1050. 16GB / 2GB ram. Quite expensive cuz i not buy from official dealer or what is just buy from a normal person that travel to taiwan

alright. hope you can share some review on zenfone 6 with us since it is latest compared to zenfone 4 & 5

Ok but first i have to charge it and go shop potong my sim card. Then have to call them help me put the tempered glass and screen protector.

What do you all want to know about the latest z6? I dont know what to review about haha. Give me some clues

Decisions decisions. Anxious to see how the zenfone 6 performs.

If good battery life, good gps, I might just buy it to replace my Nexus 7 + old phone.

basically Zenfone 4 is the nicest looking phone at this price segment, can't complain much already
for other similar budget phones like Lenovo A316/Huawei Ascend Y320 looks cheapskate with inferior camera

zenfone 6 however, at its price point, gonna face tough heads on with Mi3

Hi, would like to suggest a list =)

1) Battery life
2) GPS (Waze & Google Map)
3) Gaming with Asphalt 8
4) Radio
5) Sound quality with and with earphone
6) Watching video
7) Heat issue
8) Camera with Low light and other features

hehe... thank you

waiting for some external power case made for Asus Zenfone to solve the battery draining issue...

Hi, wanna let go asus zenfone 4, red color, new n sealed, bought wrong color..
only able cod at rm299 on monday onward..

Can let me see some pics, now hand itchy dy. Aiya but wait. Cannot root ar?

Guy's would like to ask something, the Asus zenfone 4, the package does it include the earphones ?

For those who sayang their Zenfone On/Off button, you may try out this app from google play: Screen On. It helps abit.

Prerequisite is you have to ON the "Double click volume key to launch camera from suspension" (in settings -> lockscreen)

I'm testing it out, however no idea what is the impact on the battery life ^^/ cheers.

Still better than RM730 for a secondhand, used zenfone...

Thanks for the review. It seems alright for my needs but the usage drain rate is kinda alarming
