Official ZenFone 6 Thread

[best_ctzn]

Can any of the current users comment on the battery life of this phone? Zenphone 5's battery appears to drain rather fast based on feedback. Wondering if Zenphone 6 faces the same challenge... Thanks!

For the longest time I am able to charge my handphone once in close to 2 days base on my usage pattern! Had been using a Samsung smart phone before that.

so far, have been using and play game(football manager handheld 2014) while listening to music, whatsapp, calls and fb quite abit, it can last me 1 day. unplug at 0700 and plug to charge at around 9plus

Tat looks gd...zf5 cannot last so time.

I updated to the latest firmware and regularly use a task killer to kill apps before playing games.

It seems to lag when I play games like Atlantis Adventure(match 3 gems type) . It should not tax the 2GHZ processor with 2GB ram but it did...

Any lag experiences at your end bros?

Games needs to be build for certain GPU.
I would deem that games are not optimised for intel...like Tegra (std games it could had issue)

The battery life definitely can last me from morning to night with facebook, whatsapp, movies and gaming.

Hi guys just to check, I am experiencing some sort of problem with this phone. I am using their flip cover, by right when I flip it open the screen gets unlocked.

But sometimes the phone doesn't wake up at all. Pressing the power button does nothing. I had to hold the power button for 2 times. First which i presume is to off the phone, and second is to on the phone. Does anyone has the same thing?

Need to ask the other bros here i hate flip cases and will never use one. Adds to bulk and troublesome need to flip open.

Oh in that case i think i will try removing the flip cover and monitor the problem.

Should be ok once you remove the flipcase. Always got problem for flip cases.

I searched the other forums for you and yes there were similar problems like yours as they were using flip casing too. Problem stopped when they threw that garbage away.

Lol yeah i went to google and found out that im not the only one.

I have mixed feelings after buying the phone.

Read some reviews stating the screen cracks easily when dropped, not all games optimised for intel atom chip and some random quirky bugs.

Other than that, average day-to-day usage seems decent for its price tag. UI so far quite smooth for me.

I'm just damn scared of dropping it cos screen abit big, hard to hold properly. I dropped my old Note1 many times, no problem at all. Anybody know where to buy military grade fone cover? lol...

Hi all,

How thick is the phone. Based on the spec paper, it states 5.5 - 9.9mm. What does it means? 5.5mm at the edge and 9.9mm at the center?

 

[swgj86]

do u have both the redmi note and zf 6 together? mayb u can write a review and compare both of them.

Hi guys,

Just a quick video overview of the big phones.

Did Asus say anything about the update for Android L or 5.0?

zf6 uses normal micro USB for charging.

All normal micro usb cables are good to go.

At the end of the day, all phones do cracked when dropped, depends on angle and luck. Moral of the story, don't drop your phone.
