anyone got call issue? the caller at the other end mentioned that my voice is quite soft... but i have already set the volume to max.

No such problem. Ask him increase his volume, not your phone volume

Bought the Zenfone 2 4GB

I am going to do some justice here and make a fair review as i realise things on the internet doesnt seem to relate how the phone really perform.

Got it at $388 anyway.

Opening of app is fast but the best part is after you open, you may have a lot of other app in the background, changing from app to app is FAST and NO LAG

Speaker is loud, a lot of review complaining about it. You either didnt adjust it or your current phone is CRAZILY loud

Camera may not be the best which i agree, but the focus is fast and speed is not too bad. Its not the worst i have tried. Photo colour abit dull

Phone screen is nice, resolution is sharp

Battery life is not amazing, i will say it normal as long as you off what you are not using but charging is good and FAST!

Screen brightness setting is weird maybe i have not figure it out yet. But it seem to look almost the same whether is it low brightness or high brightness

Was told that back cover is plastic but it look metal which is quite cool and it have a rough texture which help me grip the phone better.

The phone have a curve back so the side edge are really thin which is helping in the grip too.

phone is not heavy so weight is good too.

I got a earpiece in the box which a lot of people suggested there was only a charger.

Overall the phone is FAST

Not a amazing looking phone but its fast!

got some problem when updating the firmware. So i decided to reset the phone and pull it out from charging mode and it seems to work again so thats the only hiccup that caught me.

Again for the price. you have nothing to complain about. its not going to lack on you and to me. SPEED IS IMPORTANT.

I wondering if I should get a zf2. And if so, which model. Cause my note 2 still going strong luckily. Going to 3 years Le,so thinking if I should get a spare phone. How is this compared to padfone s? I wanted to get padfone s when lazada had promo at 279 but still backed out cause note 2 still OK.

Is it better to get this zf2 now, or wait until my note 2 give way then buy? Seeing as to how technology keeps improving

My feel is that if you have the spare cash, why not but it? Solid phone for a solid price.

HDR mode. Also the camera has the tendency to boost green...

Macro mode is not bad on the ZF2, can get close to subject. Though not sure if it's a shorter lens or just a tighter crop. haha.

Yes, if your fingers itchy and you have the spare cash, why not? Just go to Burlington and ask around for better price. I ahve a fully functional LG G Pro 2 but bought the ZF2 before it offers speed (and 4GB RAM!:D ) at a very, very good price. Spec-wise, no other sub 400SGD phone (brand new ones) can even come close.
