Still camera is fine.
But for video recording.. it's really bad

Just bought Zenfone 5 for my wife when her Ip5c lost last Friday

Rookie question :
1) what is the different Ori and AP set? (despite the sticker on the box and labeling on the phone) The salesman told that no more Ori set.
2) What is the different of model number such as ASUS_T00F indicates? when wifey check her friends phone its ASUS_T00J?

Hope to get some feedbacks on this.

I don't know how the salesman 'kelentong' but ori set, there are still plenty.

I also got suspicious on that. Or maybe the shop only don't sell Ori kot?

guys, zf5 8gb user here. problem with my alarm, i set it at 5.20am and now it only rings for a second before it snoozes back automatically. anyone else had this issue?

and how do i save mms pix into my gallery? as well as fwding that pix?

Usually, or at least what I understand, AP means that it's still genuine product, but only it's other markets' phone, not one made/aimed for Malaysia. So warranty purposes you have to go to the shop you bought the phone, not just walk into any Asus store.

If I'm wrong someone should correct me though.

just traded in my htc one x (old one from brother) to zenfone 4

people say it's a downgrade. but what I like is the smaller size, and the htc one x battery life is HORRIBLE.

and this cheap zenfone can support usb-otg. just tested yesterday, connect directly to my digital camera, and the zenfone can recognise it.

battery life is not as good as acer phones.

but hmmm, how to check if the set is original ? it says Model number ASUS_T001.there was a 4.3update OTA. If it can upgrade OTA it means it is original ?

frankly zenfones series also got terrible battery life compared to other droids using arm chipset
ori=distributor is dynamics, got dynamics sticker on box.

battery small issue, because its user removable. but the back cover you need a PHD to open it. so freaking difficult

After the "fix battery drain issue" update after KitKat, battery seems slightly better than before for my Zenfone 5. Well done ASUS

Attached thumbnail(s)

Before I updated my ZF5 to KK my free RAM was 800-900mb and it dropped to 500-600mb after that. =(

wow u guys got kitkat already? when i click "Check for updates" , it's still 4.3 !

urs is 2gb ram version? if like that, im not going to update Kk coz mine 1gb ram version.

What bother me bout kit kat update is i cannot use dns set since google have change dns system setting

the most optimized OS for zenfone i think still JB 4.3.
if want KK i think we better off to padfone S or even zenfone gen-2.
hoho

This. I've been trying to figure out what can be done. Stupid Google. This is becoming more and more like Apple.

No lah, AP sets = higher margin for retailers. Besides, Zenfones are really tough phones (except screen pecah lah)

Not that many people complain about hardware fault.

And it doesn't get bent that easily (at least for ZF6 model), though it'll snap if you stretch it.

I got this kind of problem too but solve it after the update.even i didnt notice the update until i notice the alarm back to normal .btw mine is ap set 16gb zen5


Looks like i will put on hold upgrading my phone to KK

Either downgrade to 4.3 or root and buy "override dns for kitkat" @rm7.41

strictly dont for 1gb..

I'm using Zenfone 5 with 1GB of RAM and running kitkat 4.4.2

The free RAM is hovering around 170MB-300MB
I don't face any major problem so far, just that after you open web browser or camera app and when you press home button, ZenUI launcher tends re-caching every icons which takes about 1.5 to 2 seconds.

and of course I do prefer Android 4.3 on Zenfone 5
