Hi guys I am thinking to get an Asus zenfone 5 1.6ghz with 2gb ram. Is it worth the money? Any problem with the phone? I think zenfone5 best suit my budget which is only rm500. Comments are appreciated. Thanks

Wife use this model.

Overall. For 3g data plan on and with light surfing, can last 1.5 fays before battery must be charged.

If only 2g on with no data plan, can last more than 2 days with light talking.

Waiting for Asus 2. 4 GB ram is too good not to try.

About the Zenfone 5 .

Hi, if i just play Clash of Clans, watch some saved video files, viewing pictures.... how well can it last a day?

time usage for each activity is around 30 mins to 1 hour or so. not more than 3 hours for each activity.

>  Just viewed Zenfone 2. it's quite nice.. but it's price is what i worry about. lol. GST.

Sorry bro, my wife does not play games. Just check office email, some occasional FB, etc.

ASUS 2 offers one of the best specs in market. 2.3 GHz processor, 32g storage with 4gb ram.

Most website like soya cincau had speculated the price to be around 1k only. Where to find. Nearest comparison is LG G3 with 2.5 processor but with only 3 GB ram and 32gb storage.

Officially original price is around 1600 to 1700. So Asus 2 is super value for money.

oh... i guess Zenfone 6 has larger capacity for it's battery.... might actually went for that....

I was using Zen fone 6 until my screen KO in 6 mths. Perhaps dropped the phone too many tines.

But 6 inch phone is very difficult to manage with one hand.

Plus Zen 2 has higher processor, 2.3 GHz cs 2.0 GHz for the Zen 6 but no Zen 2 has 4gb Ram that no phone in market has.

Must try.

Go for the Huawei Mate 7 dual sim, both sim slots are 4G enabled and great battery life.

How much is the price. To note, heard the SD slot uses the sin 2, so caanot use SD and Sim 2 at same time.

But do you really need both sim with 3g or 4g.

But still need to specify which is the default to use right for the 3g / 4g

Just curious, why do u need Sim 2 to be 3g / 4gg.

Isn't sim 1 enough to be 3g or 4g.

Just get a good data plan / telco .

You can buy Ori Set from DirectD.

AP set warranty must send back to same shop.

Ori can send to authorised distributor

ZF battery drain much faster if using 3G or data plan


If only 2G or using WiFi, can last more than 2 days for my wife ZF5

I guess more review only will be out when Singaporean gets their Zen2 phones in next few days time

Important is no need to rush to be first batch of buyers.

Buy 6 mths after launch for bugs to be fixed and prices to drop.

ZF5 now so much cheaper already.

Just realised that my wife Asus Zenfone 5 camera lost big time to my entry xiaomi redimi 1.

Wanted to take a video of my kids at sports day from very far away.

With full zoom, the Asus cannot see already, too blur and pixeled.

But the redimi still can see.

Hope the Asus 2 is better.
