[bloodwater]

Anybody know where got display set? Don't know whether to get anot. Haha

the black colour the back like similar to htc 601 will become sticky over time with fingerprints

intel atom use less power but the powervr graphic is not good and cannot run some apps

the problem with atom is the engineer never optimise it for andriod

i saw youtube the phone will reboot when u receive call

asus if use arm chip for zenphone at same price then i will buy

The next version they will use Snapdragon 400 already so its with LTE as well.

i think challenger should have demo set to try before decide to buy or not

i have doubts they will provide kitkat firmware

like my netbook they never fix the atom graphic display problem

 

[uncle168]

i'm bookmarking this thread

i expect a lot of firmware issue wih this batch

should wait for the snapdragon if the price is similar

 

[Chisel]

Kitkat is announced as planned some time back. Akan datang.

if it's LTE model, then wouldn't be price tagged at 199/249.

Asus tends to be delay the updates (jb > kk)
e.g. padfone?

A snapdragon (and would b a snapdragon 400) will cost more..at least 300-400
by spec, intel us better than mtk.
Powervr gpu are mainly used on mtk devices as well

Asus is infamous on its update.
if looking for up to date updates, nexus device liao.

I selling at cost (preorder price)
I keep cover for personal use

 

[Boner]

Is this worth the 199 to play around as spare phone?

I am getting for that very intended purpose

 

[Salapi]

redmi note will be a better spare phone than this phone imo.

better support, better updates. most likely cheaper (original price).

i will get redmi note as a spare instead. can use for travelling, play video on long haul train ride, play music. set up as a media server for my tv.

did a search on IDA database, found 2 versions of zenfone 5 [zenfone 4 & 6 can also be seen ]
https://tls.ida.gov.sg/tls/TlsEquipmentSearchFormAction.do?dispatch=searchEquipment
ASUS_T00F
ASUS_T00J

after a bit of googl-ing, seems
T00F - taiwan edition
T00J - china edition

and it also seems
T00F - z2580 (2GHz)
T00J - z2560 (1.6GHz)
am still trying to verify this last part

if this is true, there may be a 2nd wave of zenfone 5 with better specs...
