I just bought zenfone 5... This phone is awesome so far! After unboxing i straight upgraded everything that can upgrade over the air. No issues at all! Used iPhone from 3GS to iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. Honestly this phone feels like an upgrade to iPhone 5... sounds crazy but I'm serious! No regrets at all. Bought this phone to play with android phone and looks like this is going to be my main phone now.

Oh that reminds me of one issue...im going to add my main sim into the second sim slot.. any existing owners are using nano sim to microsim adapter? I scared it get stuck... can recommend me a good sim adapter? Is noosy brand ok? Or got better adapter that can buy in sg?

Generally there are 2 kinds of adaptors...with tape or a notch.
i uses those with the tape...
I had remove after using the phone for 1month...and sim could still remove :)

The look of Zf5 is good...but its batt life is kinda weak

Thx! I guess you mean the noosy brand type of adapters right? ie the common type that can find easily right?

Use a bit of UHU glue to stick the nano sim to the noosy micro sim adapter, can easily remove the nano sim in the future.

So far no issues with ejecting the sim.

try some 3rd party camera apps - camera zoom fx, camera 360 etc.
they could do some vibrant post processing

Do you know the ZenFone’s design won the Reddot Award 2014, one of the top 3 most prestigious awards in the world for industrial design, with international recognition! no wonder the phone have a feeling of a high end phone!

I'll have to say that the Asus after sales service is quite bad.

My Zenfone 6 nearly 2 weeks still waiting for spare parts.

Zenfone 5 kitkat battery drain and Wireless@SGx

I just received an update for my Zenfone 5 yesterday and after install I realized it was Kit Kat update.
However after update I found that the battery drains very fast even though I didn't use the phone at all.
Any fix for this?

And also I couldn't seem to connect to Wireless@SGx. It always stuck at obtaining IP address. Anyone having the same problem?

Hi all.. I made a pleasant discovery! Just want to check whether this mine is special case or not...

I am using a 3G sim card but I discovered that my phone most of the time connects to H or H+ which is a higher speed than 3G! Is this normal since this is dual SIM version and the speed is supposed to limit to 3G?
