Oh ya. I actually cancel the preorder. Haha 😅

Cannot wait la. Imagine July only release. For *now* yes Zenfone 5 kinda tempting with spec & price ratio, but later July/Aug there Xiaomi Mi8 SE coming with better spec & price. There sure AP set and i believe it will be affordable as well. The resell value of Zenfone 5 might drop kaw2.

Mi8 SE camera doesnt have OIS.

So disappointed to find out that i need to wait. Thought can buy this week.

Seriously no any1 using it here?

Since this is my 1st Asus phone ever (previously Samsung), need some time to adapt with it.
So far so good, as wat it shall perform.
Optical stabilization is good, fingerprint sensor is good.
Screen color and watch feeling is somehow beyond my expectation, just feel better compare with other IPS LCD screen.
Screen to body ratio U know I know la.
Very customizable, take time to experience them one by one in Setting.
ZenUI is not bad, has shadow of Samsung Experience UI shadow.
Battery wise soso, mayb because im using it heavily today.

come please have more ppl to use this phone together with me. dun let me be alone.

I might get it by this week. But the used phone market is tempting....

Drawback of htc is the bezels and no bokeh mode in camera app.

How's the phone so far? Any comments and review?
*
Overall it's been awesome.

Just that the camera bokeh mode a bit dumber than I expected. Hopefully I'll figure out how to use it properly, or let the AI learn me.

The battery comes close to my old redmi note 4.

Note that for the first 4 hours, I haven't insert my sim card.

Not sure this is new or old thing for you guys.
Just realized Zenfone 5 does have heart rate counter.
Download Asus Zenfit apps from Google Play to have it.

Update: The Heart rate counter is not consistent, my repeated measurement readings fluctuated significantly.
*
If im not mistaken, all phones also can read heart rate through the flash light

Battery update after 4 days.

Attached Image
Mostly on wifi.

Attached Image
Mostly on 4G. Used a lot of waze.

Attached Image
Mostly on 4G/3G with poor signal.

Conclusion: As I came from redmi note 4, this is not redmi note 4 level. But should last 1 day comfortably.

Others aspect: Everything has been great except that it heats up more than redmi note 4. And I believe there is a bug with Zenimogi on snapchat. Also, the location ON symbol gets stuck on the notification bar even after I off it, happens all the time. Only way to get rid of it is to restart the phone.

Thanks for this! The phone heats up when...in idling state or when using waze/playing games?
*
It doesnt heat up a lot la, just that it isnt good compared to redmi note 4 SD625. Heats up when using waze and camera. After a while the camera will force close.

Anyone else here finds snapchat super laggy? Idk is it caused by ZenImogi or what? I disabled that but it still reopens everytime i turn on snapchat. I cant even use snapchat camera cuz there's always a ZenImogi to block the camera. I cant find anything on google.

The things i like about ZF5:

1. Double tap on home screen to turn off screen and wake up.
2. Hold recent apps key to take screenshot.
3. Swipe down on home screen to open notification panel.
3. Swipe up to open app drawer.
4. Loud speakers very loud, dual loud speaks for stereo sound.
5. Bright display.
6. Built-in phone call recorder with 3 quality options high compression, good quality and high quality.

Whr u found double tap to turn off screen?

why no stereo? 2 speakers what... you mean not balanced?

1 is front facing and the other speaker is downward facing. I compare it with my old HTC front firing stereo speakers, it's not the same stereo sound.
