Official ZenFone 5 Thread

[freakybird]

I just realised my flashlight is not working at all. Been using the phone for about one week before I needed to use the flashlight and found it didnt work. Downloaded a few torchlight apps, none worked.

Not even the camera flash works.

Want to buy the LTE 2gb ram 8g version.
Dunno why Asus never list it on their website.

unless u really use all the storage , if not i dont see a point
a $16/32gb micro sd cost around $30 too
i would rather get a bigger memory card

 

[cutebeng]

hmmm how much usable storage would there be for the 16gb?anyone knows?

 

[Chisel]

Mine is the 3G set, 16GB. System reserve 3.72GB. Rest usable. ROM version 1.17.

See who is who at this Table 11 during the LTE hands on last Friday...haha!

 

[Advancer]

Hi so the guys who attended the event. Do you think the LTE version is worth upgrading if you already have the Intel 1.6GHz version?

 

[knightshaz]

Not worth it.

Unless you equate life without LTE as the end of the world.

 

[kelvinti]

Not worth it.

Personally, I still can't get use to a tiny 5" LTE.

I wonder if Asus is introducing ZenFone 6 LTE anytime soon?

That! I would really love to go for the hands on event again with great interest to buy as my secondary phone.

 

[Advancer]

Not worth it.

But is the processor speed difference significant? Or u could hardly feel any difference?

 

[trento]

according to Asus site, Z5 Intel faster than qualcomm

From my limited time with the LTE? May not hate it but the performance disparity is noticeable.

surfing will be faster but how about other aspects? quite curious to know if intel is faster than qualcomm

 

[kelvinti]

Once tested the LTE speed. No way back for 3G... So, be careful!

That's all I can say, and yet almost every apps on mobile are using online connection of some sorts especially online games.

So...LTE speed is significant enough to upgrade from 3G model.

To add to the advantage of LTE model, LTE or 4G is already available inside most of the MRT trains, be it underground tunnels' routes or over-the-top's routes!

App

Hi there,

I just bought a 2nd hand zenfone 5. Did a factory reset of the phone and saw that a SuperSU app in the phone. Is it a default app that comes with the phone? As I have never seen such an app that comes with a phone. Thus was wondering is it normal.

Thanks for the clarification in advance.

just that the phone has been rooted.

simply flash the original rom and the app will be gone if you are uncomfortable with it.
