Hows the battery life?

 

[RiceGrain]

Yeah, there's fm radio,
battery life is decent, although the charging time seems unacceptably slow.

Wait for Asus Singapore to announce the phone models they plan to bring in, then slowly decide
Besides the processor speed, the internal storage is also bigger, 64gb vs 32gb.

I am happy with my ZE550ML , seems like their 'fast-charging technology' is true, the input current is rated at 1.4A at some point of time.

they never specify whether its the 5.5inch 1080p one or the 720p one

They mentioned Single sim, so likely to be the 5" one.. if so then the price is quite high.

Got my zenfone2 from lazada.
typing using it right now

Hi RiceGrain,

For your Zenfone 2 set from lazada, may I know is the wall charger a 3pin socket one that is used in SG or is it the Taiwan type socket?

It's a standard 3pin UK plug, meaning to say.. it works for Singapore socket without the need of any adapter

5.2v/1.35A

Nice. Thanks for the information! How was the user experience so far?

Android 5.0 (lollipop) is fun to use, ZENUI is decent, great camera and etc.

Web browsing is as smooth as butter, 2GB is sufficient for me (habit of closing apps).

As the model I am using is the 720p screen, I would recommend people to compare the 1080p with the 720p display screen when it's officially launched.
Having said that, 720p is already crisp clear and defined.
Definitely worth every penny, even at $329, I would bought it without bearing any second thoughts. Definitely bang for bucks!

Shoot anything that you feel will showoff this 'great camera' you said, maybe will help to convince others to buy this phone as well.

there must always be balance between 'professionals' doing reviews and real life examples from everyday users. both are important.

 

[F3Rm1nat0r]

which is which? left one is s6 and right one is zenfone 2?
if so s6's camera is way way superior to the zenfone 2

 

[knightshaz]

superior yes, way way superior? that's too much of a stretch.
