Ya I find the memory leaked issue has been resolved after 29th April update. Battery life is much better now.

Looks like there is a ZE551ML - 4GB RAM, 128GB storage option:

4 firmware updates in a week... not sure it's good or bad news...

Bad news is that it means there are plenty bugs to fix, good news is that ASUS rolling out fixes fast and furious.

even for ZF5, i still get almost weekly or alternative week updates on ASUS apps ...
OS updates less often ...but still get them once in a while ...

most important... no news for lollipop for previous owners ZF5

Funded by INTEL, ASUS is trying very hard to establish presence in the mobile phone market.

That would be interesting, because their CEO was just talking about Zenfone 2 versions powered by Snapdragon SOCs.

When the time comes for the firmware updates to dry up, then you will be sorry to kpkb now.

is it worth it to pay $100 more for 4gb ram?

what does export version mean

 

[Citiguy]

No.

Unless its a tablet with multi window support

yusoffb01, so you think the 2GB RAM will be enough already?

 

[mipsmonsta]

what does export version mean

Means it parallel import from other countries. I presume you are looking at ZenFone 2 selling on other website.

You mean for 2 gig of ram more. On one hand, usually don't multitask that much, in the other hand this is future proofing. But by 2016, more great phones maybe with new battery tech may come out. So best advise I give is: depends on your needs.

means no official warranty. Buyer beware

 

[Sausage]

but apart from no warranty does export ver have any difference?

Battery life still the same for me after update ):

Averaging about 16hrs per charge.. Maybe high 3+ hours of SOT.

Do you like playing several high demand games at the same time and then put them in background, and hope that they are still there mid game when you return to it? Then get the 4gb.

If you don't play games much and do the above, then 2gb is more than enough. My 3gb Oneplus has 0.9gb left free with 201 user installed apps, with 35 running services/process in the background. I run the same apps on my Nexus 5 with 2gb ram, it ran fine - so that excess ram is just that, excess.

It depends on the model. For example, some export versions of phone models offer dual-sim capability compared to local version, e.g. samsung s5 duos
