Anyone using the phone with 2 sim cards? Now I keep getting intermittent SIM2 not installed.

no problems with my SIM2. Suggest you get latest firmware if not upgraded, wipe cache since there is problem, test with another SIM card. If problem persists, time for service centre.

How's the review so far for people who have been using the phone ever since it came out?

Fast and responsive. Nice big screen and slim. Good value for money. Too many preloaded apps but you just ignore them.

A few flaws which I can live it but the most annoying is that SIM2 is only for voice and SMS. Absolutely no data at all which is annoying for a dual SIM phone. Have to swap SIM cards every time you travel. If you treat it as a single SIM phone, then no issues.

I have been reviewing it for 2 weeks, runs very smooth, loads of hardware features, easily personalised UI, great for consumers who do not like to install third party launchers. ASUS-branded apps are mostly useful. Battery drain is no different from my HTC One M8 which carries 2600mAh, but the fast charger is useful. Somewhat buggy, might need to restart the phone once a while, but firmware updates are very frequent. I am very happy for what it's priced.

It's already on latest firmware, flashed the same day it came out. Previously I would sometimes get no network on SIM2, then get back network in like 20 seconds. Now keep popping up no SIM2 installed. SIM1 no such problem.

Hands-on with the new ASUS Zenfone 2 devices: bigger, better, stronger
Published on 02 Jun, 2015 – 05:44 by Edgar Cervantes

ASUS had more than enough new things to show at Computex 2015. We have already checked out the ASUS Zenpad series, Zen AiO, ZenWatch 2, a new Transformer Book and even the Zenfone Selfie. Most people seem to be ignoring the new Zenfone 2 devices, though. Not us!

In fact, we are pretty darn excited to see these new Zenfone 2 versions, as they are actually quite different from the original Zenfone 2 series. The affordable smartphone is being upgraded to a whole new level, really.

For starters, these new phones come with Snapdragon processors instead of Intel chips. Their cameras have also been upgraded with the inclusion of laser auto-focus. And as the cherry on top, there’s also a 6-inch version with more power to throw around. Let’s go through them one by one.

ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE500KL
This is the smallest new Zenfone, with a much more average 5-inch 720p IPS panel. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 410 processor, 2-3 GB of RAM and 16-32 GB of internal storage. Just like all its other brothers, it has a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP shooter in the front.

ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE550KL
This one is a little bigger. It carries a 5.5-inch 720p display. It also comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage and a great 3000 mAh battery. And of course, there’s also a 5 MP camera in the front and a 13 MP rear-facing camera with laser auto-focus.

ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE600KL
Now, this is the biggest, baddest ASUS Zenfone 2 version at Computex 2015. The phone is gorgeous, and it is unique in that it’s not only bigger, but it is more powerful. This bad boy carries a Snapdragon 615 processor, which really differentiates it from other Zenfone 2, as this chips is meant for more powerful processing.

This iteration of the Zenfone 2 also has 2-3 GB of RAM, 16-32 GB of internal storage, a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. It’s all powered by a 3000 mAh battery and the screen measures in at 6-inches. The sad news is that it’s still a 720p panel, which you will notice at these larger screen sizes.

A smaller Zenfone 2 with a Snapdragon 615
We know not all of you like those 6-inch smartphones, but you may still want to get the more powerful processor. Don’t you worry. We found at this 5.5-inch Zenfone 2 which comes with a Snapdragon 615 processor.

In addition to the higher power chip, this version will come with the option of having either a 720p or 1080p display, something we know many of you will love. And of course, it takes advantage of laser auto-focus and is pretty much identical to its brothers in terms of specs.

Quite simply, if you're looking for a phone that doesn't lag and is easily on the wallet. The 4gb ram version is the one to get.

However, please do not expect the screen and beauty of S6 edge, camera of LG4, relatively "bug-free" environment of Iphone 6 and battery life of Z3. It's half the cost of these phones...

All in all, you're getting very good bang for your buck.
