Official ZenFone 5 Thread

[thewiseone]

Its all documented in the user guide, that is if anybody actually bothers to read it!

the funny aspect is that when you swipe down from top left, it shows the notification windows.
For top right, is the quick toggle window.

BUY ZENFONE5 in ASUS Store ONLINE!

Guys do take note there is a slight difference on the metallic piece of metal below the 3 capacitive buttons if u purchased the white unit as compared with the rest (or black at least).
White sets have a grayish metallic piece as compared to a black metallic piece for the black sets.
Prefer the contrast that's why I bought the white set.

The metal piece on the white set is more gunmetal colored. The gold set is more silver and i think the purple/red has the black metal too.

using a white set with black flip cover.

Really a good offer to buy the ZenFone 5 which is available in all colours at Asus Online Store (http://store.asus.com/sg) at $219 (U.P. is $249). Can pay via credit/debit card (mastercard/ visa) or Cash on Delivery where the delivery is free, and orders is supposedly to be delivered within 24 hours!

I am using a white set and replaced my back cover to a red one coupled with the original Asus bumper case.

but the flip cases are sold out in taiwan

No leh. For now still can get in Taiwan online. Over the shop not too sure.
But seriously, wonder how many people really go and hunt down ZENFONE5?
Think for 35 bucks, i can do delivery at Mrt stations.

i think most people would rather spend the extra 4 bucks to get their cases at their own leisure from challenger or sg online store

Quite true. Spare the wait.

We are always willing to pay for latest gadgets.

Hi,


Is anyone using those flip cases with window?


I have one but the smart auto sleep/wake doesn't seems to work even though I have activated Settings->Display->Flip Cover View.


Any advice is appreciated.


Thanks.

hi, I received 2 flip cases today.One of them is having the same issues as you faced.I believed the magnet on the front flip cover is out of position.
Try using a magnet to activate the area in between back and home of the screen to check.BTW mine is Nillkin brand.

Don't know when Zenfone 6 launching, but both Zenfone 5 LTE & Zenfone 6 have passed through IDA's database already

 

[knightshaz]

the lowered rrp of the current zenfone 5 probably is to accommodate for the coming lte version.

Actually i feel for a $219 phone, buying without contract better. Deducting away $48, the phone is $170. To tie ur contract for 2yrs cos of $170 abit wasted leh.. well jus my personal opinion la.

ZF5 shd b purchased without contract.
Infact, if no freebies, juz buy without contract

i agree with out. unless the phone is more than $500, den i suggest buy with contract
