ASUS Zenfone 2

[knightshaz]

Exactly, price is one of the vital consideration.
Just pondering whether will Zenfone 2 be available before S6 hit our local Telcos.

My selection priority is supposed to be Zenfone 2, however the never ending "coming soon" pissed me off.

Anyway my decision to switch is still pending, will see how it goes.

highly unlikely s6/edge will be out on 10 april while asus will only hold their launch event on 14 april

Thanks for your input.

Well if that's the case, it is another 10~12 more days to go, will just have to wait patiently and see the outcome.

I think I will switch to s6 rather than using zenfone 2 already. Prolly give asus another chance with their zenfone 3 in future.

The Zenfone 2 has a serious handicapped when compared to the previous version with only sim1 4G/ 3G and sim2 2G.

It defeats the purpose of dual sim as you need to take out from sim2 to sim1 if you need the 4G/ 3G connection.

You should look up the Nokia N1 tablet and find out if users can use that app. If it works there it should work on Zenfone 2 since both uses the same SoC.

If it doesn't then too bad, Intel inside is still the problem.

This is a honest seller as they show us clearly that the SIM 2 is only supports 2G. Not even the Asus website revelead this information...they asked you buy first, open the back door and whoaaa.....SIM 2 only supports 2G....damn.....

With the lazada coupon, I paid sgd244 for a usd199 device.. no warranty, thankfully it's in perfect condition!

 

[xtemujin]

I've been looking at the Zenfone2 reviews on youtube and so far most did not mention that sim2 is 2G.

Good to know that the people here shared this detail as even this information is not on the Asus website.

Cheers.
