but when you watch movies front facing horizontally is it balanced?
*
Not as balanced as dual front firing ones.

htc speakers are two solid same powered speakers
where as zenfone 5 is separated to do different job respectively, top for treble, bottom for mid to bass
But overall sound quality is still pleasant and decent, just it could be better if bass is deeper
*
The sound quality is very very good for a smartphone, i believe it's one of the best out there. But it just doesnt have the same stereo effect as two front firing speakers.

Yup battery life average... SOT around 3 - 3.5 hrs

This is my only smartphone that has significant diff in battery life between wifi and 4G. Wifi lasts much longer.

Hi guys,

Im currently using a huawei mate 10 and i was looking around on this asus zenfone 5z and it seems attracting.

It actually made me feel like changing phone but i dont know is it worth to change to the zenfone 5z.

Any recommendation on this?

Hope to get some advise here

Mate 10 to 5z isn't really an upgrade

well , i still wonder about the AI camera .

where is the AI setting ???? i didn't found any AI camera setting in my phone   , it is build in and auto ?  might be a stupid question , but seriously , my huawei p9 capture better camera than my 5z   bangwall.gif

AI is auto-on. I feel the megapixel count is lacking on this phone, that's why u think ur p9 is better. On 16:9 aspect ratio, it becomes 9mp on normal cam and 6mp on wide cam. Sucks when cropping or digital zoom. Otherwise, I'm happy with it.

This morning my alarm didn't ring again. Second time facing this issue. Speaker/vibration doesn't work till I restart the phone. What I recall was that last night the system UI crashed and I selected "close the app" rather than selecting "wait". Other apps also has higher tendency of crashing these days, but quick to recover.
