hi guys, have been using ZF 5 quite a powerful handset for the price of it ... not to compliant much except for the battery usage which it is drain so fast ... one day alone I have to charge 3 times.... so sian ... any ideas or prompt to asus to help on this.

Thankyou.

Are you heavy user? I am light user and after work 5.30pm i still have 50%. Normally only surf net, no games.

Gonna ditch my zenfone 5 for the LTE version. Haha.
To be honest I am happy with the current phone except for the slow shutter speed for the camera. Hope the kit Kat software will improve this.

Agreed, you can forget about the camera if you tend to take fast moving object. Space bar quite close to home button, always accidentally hit it.

But for the price, it is a super budget smart phone. No regrets.

mine is a sticker and also 199 no earpiece and no sealed!

then u= better check with them wor.

all phones should be sealed de mah.

ask them where the earpiece is.. rather, why is the phone unsealed.. and why did u buy it when it wasn't sealed in the first place lei ?

I didnt know coz i seldom buy phones, coz its a taiwan/ china set, 1 year warrenty by the shop. i saw asus website selling $200++ , SLS selling less than $200 so thought it was a good buy.

But the guy at the shop was not good coz he tried sell me the their display set. luckily i ask them give me try another set.

so far after trying 1 day, i find the phone display and audio is much much better than expected.

 

[knightshaz]

The Asus store on 1st floor?

and why are you in SLS buying phones anyway, the general population would generally stay away from there

Carry in Warranty lor like that. How much cheaper you save? I still felt you should have bought from online or authorised Asus stores. So local warranty mAh...

And yah they always aim to sell of their display sets one.

coz i had a $10 voucher off the (retail price $199) and 6% off for online payment, so im paying like lesser.. but now i got no earpiece.. so i duno issit worth it.

no its on the 3rd floor at the back rows.. but they have a lot of shops there i believe all under same managment de... #02, #03, #06, etc.. all getting their stock from the same unit in SLS.

How does the Zenfone 5 compare to Redmi 1s and Mi3 ? Anyone use both before can share their experience, thanks.
