    Good Product as expected

    First of all Kudos to flipkart to have delivered it before time. I received it on 9th may, so good work and the courier partner Redexpress was also very helpful. Now coming to the phone. I had researched for around 1.5 months to find the best phone in my price range, and I will use it for next 2 years. I am a casual user so gaming was not a concern so from my point of view, the phone is great. Pros: 1. It doesn't heat at all. 2. ZenUI is very smooth 3. Zenmotion is very helpful 4. Phone is very responsive 5. Rear Camera is awesome. (I heard in manny reviews that it is not good but i found it really good. I clicked pics in direct sunlight and they were great. At night, I used the manual mode and pics were good, I need to adjust with the modes but as of now, the camera didn't disappoint me.) 6. Front camera is also good, my friends using nexus 5 and iphones said selfies were much better. 7. Phone is very light weight. 8. Black colored model has matt finish at the back so it is not slippery. 9. One hand mode of ZenUI is also very handy. 10. Battery life is also around 8-10 hours for sure, I didn't notice too much but there is an app in the phone in which we can see the duration of battery life. 11. Battery saving mode is also great, when the screen is off, the battery remains unaffected. 12. 16 gb and expandable ROM is good enough for me but for higher priced variant, you can get more internal storage and also expandable. 13. Lock screen can be customised. 14. After an FOTA update, you receive 100 gb free google drive space! Cons: 1. The 3 buttons on the phones are not backlit 2. Screen picks up fingerprints quite a lot. 3. Only one sim supports 3g, 4g and data (These are more like nit pickings for such a good phone) As of now, I have picked up on these points only and over all I love this phone. Whichever is your price range, this phone will be good for you. 4GB variants must be better than this one..but for me, this is the best fit. Great work ASUS!

    Great Phone Bad Camera

    Camera on this phone is very bad. Except it everything is fine. Display and touch is great. Performance is good for price. Pros. Great Display Good Performance Audio Output via earphone is fantastic Curved design is really comfortable to hold. Decent battery backup Cons Mediocore 13-mp camera with so much grainy pics even in medium lighting. Charging is nightmare with supplied charger needs over 4 hours. Power Key is damn difficult to press. All thanks to double tap to wake and sleep it won't be so annoying. Mobile Data can only be used in first sim. SIM 2 is just for calls and sms

    Great Phone for the Price !

    Got this phone yesterday and here's a list of some pros and cons of the device...(Although you do not get any earphones with this model in India) Pros : 1. Nice and Vibrant Display for the Price. 2. Great user interface. 3. Got an Antutu Benchmark Score of 43k which is definitely a great score for a 12,999 Rs Phone. 4. Touch response and Sensitivity is awesome. 5. Good amount of Ram and Processing Speed Which makes it ideal to run many tasks at time and gaming performance is simply great. Cons: 1. Power button located at top which is a little uncomfortable to operate (But double tap to wake the device is also an option ). 2. This phone does not come with fast charging technology ,so that's a disappointment. That's all from my 1 day review .. Hope it helped ,Thank you !

    Great features BUT GOT DEFECTIVE PIECE TWICE, (But Flipkart servic is really top class)

    It might be bad luck of mine that I have got a technically faulty set and after replacement the problem was still there in the second set. Most probably any particular batch or lot have the same problem. The SIM 1 Slot was defective, the network strength at SIM 1 was continuously fluctuating and sometimes disappearing completely. And as per my survey in the net this is happening for some other users also. Otherwise the the phone was having lots of great features which were really impressive, such as: great flagship look, nice build quality, excellent UI, OK camera, great touch response, really great viewing angle, lag free operation etc... Some downsides I found still after first OTA update: poor battery backup as per 3000mah, in call volume and overall volume is on lower side, low light performance of the camera is below average, little heating issue. But I am very thankful to Flipkart service, they responded very positively and arranged replacement very quickly but unfortunately the second set was still having the same problem then they refunded the amount without any issue. This explains that why Flipkart is number 1 now. I would love to shop from flipkart again and again.

    Worth it !!!

    Initially I purchased Lenovo A6000, but then i returned it back to flipkart (as they did n't have stock to replace A6000) ..-- Then i finally waited for Zenphone 2 (it was a difficult decision between Mi 4i and Zenphone 2..) - NOW my review after 3 days of continuous use -- 1. Battery back up is good, it will last a day (15~18 hrs).. It takes around 150 mins to fully charge for its 3000mAh battery ..( Lenovo A6000 took about 5hrs for its 2300 mah battery) 2. Zen UI is good, specially its Gesture UI.. as the powerbutton is at the TOP and its difficult to reach the button due to its size, Gesture UI is a great help. 3. After 3 days of use, I didn't find any performance issues.. 4. Initially I was skeptical about placement of Volume rockers at the back, but actually i found it quite easy to operate now.. its even better.. 5. Built quality is good.. 6. NO Heating issues 7. Lollipop is amazing.. 8. Camera is good (specially HDR feature and photo editing apps) .. i am not a selfie fan, so can't comment about front camera Limitations .. ----------- --Only SIM1 supports data connectivity..( a bit disappointed here) --As there is no headphone provided, i am not sure about the sound quality yet in a headphone ( I have ordered a new one, yet to receive) -- Too many preloaded ASUS apps, which you can't disable.. (its frustating sometimes) -------------------------------------- Still I rated this phone 5 stars, bcoz i almost got everything i wanted. and regarding limitations, in every phone you have to compromise with something.. i guess, i can live with the above ones.. ;)

    Good

    I got my Zenfone 2 mobile yesterday.My initial impression was good. I loved Zen UI. There are many bloatwares preinstalled in the phone but some are very useful. I feel camera is very nice. There are lot of settings available in the camera UI and Manual mode is really great as it lets users to select exposure in real time. Battery performance is good, but I feel it could have been better. looks like Android OS is consuming lot of power and there seems to be RAM leakage also. Hopefully future OTA updates fixes these issue

    Its the best budget phone!!

    I bought this a week earlier....no problems yet...everything is extraordinary...only the battery is average...lasts for 8-10 hours with intensive use...though its fair enough... ok, so the pros:- -> it looks sooo awesome... -> 5.5" screen with Hd display....the perfect thing for watching high def movies... -> intel inside, quad core and 2gb ram, havent had any lag with heavy games likes injustice and walking dead... -> volume buttons are on the back...so u dont accidentally lower the volume each time u grab ur phone.. -> excellent pics in daylight....needs to be manually adjusted at night....but still better than most phones of this range... -> ZenUI is too awesome...it allows u to customize ur phone a lot to get ur own distinct look....and it has this really cool feature i encountered for the first time...reaching out for the power button everytime u wanna unlock ur phone is tiresome...and its a lot of load on that puny button too...so instead, u can double tap ur screen to switch on ur screen...isnt that cool?? -> Around 11gb usable memory out of the 16gb rom...and mountable sd card...so memory isnt a problem unlike the xiaomi mi4i... -> speakers are great...which is realy rare for a phone of low budget... Now the cons:- -> camera needs to be manually adjusted to take good pics atnight...not a major issue though... -> larger screen drains the most battery...still can go through nearly 10 hours with constant usage... When i was buying this, i was confused between mi4i and zenfone 2... mi4i has a better ppi than zenfone due to a smaller 5" screen...though both have the same resolution...but zenfone has a memory card slot...mi4i doesnt...and comparing benchmark scores, i found that zenfone 2 has better performance than mi4i... So, if u need a phone with a budget of 13000, this is the one for u...
