By Amazon Customeron
Worst experience not to buy cell phones from amazon
By Prasad Kamathon
Disgusting

A complete Honest Review.
By Namrataon
Ok I am in awe of Asus products so I always tend to buy them .
I had Zenfone 5 first, which I sold for 7000, because I was tempted to buy this one.
PLUS POINTS :
1. SCREEN RESOLUTION:
Full HD ! Smooth Smooth Smooth !I can hardly take my fingers off the screen!
2. RAM:
4 gb RAM ! Ok So after vigorous testing , I found that 2gb is more than enough. But 4gb in 18k(after cancelling out the VAT) is really good.
3. CAMERA:
Camera is perfect with no glitch at all (This is after the update).And this goes for front as well as back!You can check the sample Pics online for proof! For People saying camera is not good at all :I disagree, obviously its not overboard but for that I would like to say that it ain't a Camera centric phone.If you compare Nikon camera (of 4k) and this, obviously Nikon camera would give you an outstanding output coz the device focuses 'solely' on camera.Nevertheless I found Zenfone 2's Camera awesome!
4. 18W CHARGER:
As promised, It charges around 60% in 40 minutes. That's for sure !
5. SOUND:
The sound quality is really high with headphones on ,beats are clear which was not that promising in Zenfone 5.
6. UI:
The UI is really better than others . The dropdown menus are really easy to access unlike others..
7. UPDATES:
Trust me guys, ASUS people are really working hard. They give updates every week and the updates actually work! I found battery to be draining 'a lot' but after the update, it's relatively fine.
8. TRANSFER SPEED:
I tested this with fully loaded 64gb memory card and Viola ! It worked with no hangs (unlike Samsung)!
9. 4G :
Ok we all know in few days , even 3G would be outdated.So Yeah,a plus pont for Asus.
10.HARD BACK PLASTIC:
The back is amazing! This is the first time,I didn't buy any back cover but a transparent one just to retain the silver color !
11. HANGING:
No hangs ! Nothing ! I tested with 107 apps/games with heavy RAM usages running in the background. If u want a phone which doesn't hang at all, then Zenfone 2 is for you!
12. 100 GB GOOGLE DRIVE STORAGE:
Usually you get 15 GB with google drive , but asus gives you 100GB when you first sign up!
12. INTEL:
Boss, it's Intel! What more can you ask for! 64-bit Intel,clocked at 2.3 GHz,G6430 GPU. Wow!
13. THIN:
Remarkably thin!
14. TRICKS : lol I fanatically scribbled 'C' on lock screen and camera popped out. So yup many surprise sure to come!
MINUS POINTS :
1. NO INTERNET ON SIM2:
Ok that's like a howler from ASUS ! Seriously ASUS?!
2. HEATING DURING CHARGING:
Although it did carry out it's promise of fast charging but it heats a lot during charging due to 18W. After the update, I found lesser heating issues but still some heating issues are there, I won't lie.
3. CAMERA :
As said, camera is awesome , but for Camera lovers, it's not upto the mark. I compared samsung's 16MP with this, I found this better. My friend, a photographer found the camera descent but not superficial.
4. RAM LEAKS :
Although, the phone does not hang at all even during multiple apps being run in the background, but there are RAM gloats. At first,when I bought, it was displaying only 1 GB ram available . I was like What the fuck! But after the ASUS updates, it showed 2.7GB RAM available..According to me after force stopping 'all' the apps, the remaining RAM must have been >3GB. But sadly it's not.But that would likely be fixed in the 5.1 lollipop update as it's said that Lollipop 5.0 is buugy..
5. SPEAKER: Being honest here, the speaker ain't that loud.
6. NON-REMOVABLE BATTERY: Yup battery can't be replaced.
7. BACK COVER HARD TO REMOVE: It took me 5 minutes to take it out lol. Minor issue though ..
SOME TIPS:
1. Please let your phone drain to 0% for the 1st time . Then charge it to 100 % and keep for 15-20 minutes more. That would improve the battery life to some extent.
2. Do factory reset 1st ! It's mandatory otherwise you might get errors like 'Unfortunately the app has stopped working'..
3. Install the Updates 1st and then use.. After getting reviews from Users, ASUS was quick enough to solve the problems even after the release !..
4. Disable or uninstall built-in apps which are useless.Fortunately, ASUS doesn't provide you with useless and 'uninstallable' apps.
5. Battery would be draining at 1st but later it would improve. So don't worry too much. 2 times a day is good enough for me though.
6. Use Auto Manager to lessen the access to background apps.
P.S : With final thoughts I would say that if the battery issue is solved ,Zenfone 2 would surely give a big run for other biggies!
Ok with this, I congrats you all if you go with Zenfone 2..If I found any other points, I would add to this post.
And as usual , faster delivery by FLIPKART. Good work. Keep going..
Having performance issues
By Shivam Agarwalon
Hello everyone, I am having Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 64 GB version and having basically 3 major problems..
1. Phone is getting very hot almost like iron during charging on top right beside camera.
2. While playing video, as long as I keep touching the screen and optiom menu remains on screen video player shows natural colors but as soon as the option menu goes the video shows a bluish tint while playing video. What is it?
3. While playing audio thru earphones, audio is interrupting everytime I am using any function of phone. Its like old CD players when the voice used to face hiccups. Its so annoying.
Update : All the above problems have been fixed by Software update. Phone is working fine even after 2 years of rigorous usage.

(First one to review)
- Ultimate performance & speed
- Stylish design
- Satisfactory Battery Backup
Will update more ..... (coming soon)
All-in-one ... I'm truly in love with this device ! :)
Thanks ASUS, WS Retail & Flipkart !
Update 2:
1. 4GB RAM + 2.3 GHz CPU provide excellent multitasking & smooth experience. No lags or stutter.
2. Screen size & resolution is perfect. Splendid app does a great job to keep the display neat & sharp.
3. Superb graphics experience. Played all high graphics games with ease - Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5, NOVA 3, Mortal Kombat X, Shadowgun, Real Racing 3, NFS Most Wanted, Call of Duty Strike Team & Heroes, FIFA 15, Virtua Tennis & lot more ... still counting ... :)
4. Camera app has awesome modes & customizations for every environment & situation. (though image quality could have been better).
5. Good battery backup (but not best). Lasts a day (around 14 to 18 hrs) with medium to heavy usage & 3G always ON.
6. Zen UI is excellent with lot of customization options! (though uses lot of RAM).
7. Design & ergonomics is good. Being 5.5", still the phone is light & easy to use.
8. While playing games for more than half an hour, the phone heats a little bit near the volume buttons at back. Not something to criticize about as it is obvious, but something to be cautious about.
9. Good audio experience & decent speaker volume. (Poweramp with MusicFX gives best sound quality)
10. Lot of bloatwares that are eating up space.
11. Fast charging technology is really very fast. In half an hour, we are back to business ;)
- For good battery backup - go to auto-start manager & turn off apps that u don't use regularly (or you don't need), next regularly run boost before putting your phone idle, use ultra-saving mode when u are not actively using your device, from wifi settings turn off the always scan option.
I'm a heavy gamer & a geek. I'm truly satisfied with this device.
As a user I rate this phone as 4.5 / 5, but looking at the heavy specs package @ such an affordable price, I give it 5 / 5.
Again, thanks Flipkart for excellent service !!!!!

Value for Money
By Patraon
Received this phone on 01-07-2015 (64GB variant). After hearing rumours about this phone I was in dilemma whether to buy it or not but using this for last 08 days and here are my reviews
Pros:
1. First of all I want to thank Flipkart for faster delivery.
2. Build Quality of this phone is very good. Body shape is more or less copied form LG G3.
3. Zen UI is faster....no lags at all.
4. This phone is offering 52.4 GB user available storage which is more than sufficient and 4GB RAM which is very useful for gamers.
5. Screen resolution is awesome for this much big screen. I am having one Xperia Z2 also whose x-realty engine is better than zenfone but not having 4G.
6. This phone is capable of awesome fast charging which is only possible if u connect with Asus charger kit. It is getting heat up but if you use normal charger kit of other mobile, it will not get hot. so when ur using it in home charge this phone with other charger kits.
Reply to the Rumours about Zenfone 2
1. It is getting heat up with asus charger kit but if you use normal charger kit of other mobile, it will not get hot. so when ur using it in home charge this phone with other charger kits.
2. Speaker volume Quality is not very good but its OK. Much of the time we listen songs or watching movies we use earphones. These days all are using vibration mode all the time so no need to worry in traffic. Crosstalk is good you can hear or speak clearly.
3. Battery backup is also satisfactory with moderate usage. For me moderate usage means 2hrs of talking, 2hrs of webbrowsing, 1hrs of gaming and watching one movie a day. After all this exercise this battery will last for a day.

Although, the phone does not hang at all even during multiple apps being run in the background, but there are RAM gloats. At first,when I bought, it was displaying only 1 GB ram available . I was like What the fuck! But after the ASUS updates, it showed 2.7GB RAM available..According to me after force stopping 'all' the apps, the remaining RAM must have been >3GB. But sadly it's not.But that would likely be fixed in the 5.1 lollipop update as it's said that Lollipop 5.0 is buugy..
5. SPEAKER: Being honest here, the speaker ain't that loud.
6. NON-REMOVABLE BATTERY: Yup battery can't be replaced.
7. BACK COVER HARD TO REMOVE: It took me 5 minutes to take it out lol. Minor issue though ..
SOME TIPS:
1. Please let your phone drain to 0% for the 1st time . Then charge it to 100 % and keep for 15-20 minutes more. That would improve the battery life to some extent.
2. Do factory reset 1st ! It's mandatory otherwise you might get errors like 'Unfortunately the app has stopped working'..
3. Install the Updates 1st and then use.. After getting reviews from Users, ASUS was quick enough to solve the problems even after the release !..
4. Disable or uninstall built-in apps which are useless.Fortunately, ASUS doesn't provide you with useless and 'uninstallable' apps.
5. Battery would be draining at 1st but later it would improve. So don't worry too much. 2 times a day is good enough for me though.
6. Use Auto Manager to lessen the access to background apps.
P.S : With final thoughts I would say that if the battery issue is solved ,Zenfone 2 would surely give a big run for other biggies!
Ok with this, I congrats you all if you go with Zenfone 2..If I found any other points, I would add to this post.
And as usual , faster delivery by FLIPKART. Good work. Keep going..
Having performance issues
By Shivam Agarwalon
Hello everyone, I am having Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 64 GB version and having basically 3 major problems..
1. Phone is getting very hot almost like iron during charging on top right beside camera.
2. While playing video, as long as I keep touching the screen and optiom menu remains on screen video player shows natural colors but as soon as the option menu goes the video shows a bluish tint while playing video. What is it?
3. While playing audio thru earphones, audio is interrupting everytime I am using any function of phone. Its like old CD players when the voice used to face hiccups. Its so annoying.
Update : All the above problems have been fixed by Software update. Phone is working fine even after 2 years of rigorous usage.

First at times...the front camera respond bit late..when.you move.phone it takes 1 sec to react....at.times.. not always...when.u reopen camera app it.fixes...
Secondly..it has dual sim...but you can use internet only on one sim.slot....that can be an issue for.people who want.tonuse 2 sims and want.to use internet simontaneously....
Rest built quality is very good...back button is very useful for selfies..volume...etc...i am gull satisfied with this phone...
Powerful Beast with Adorable Beauty !!!!!
By Rakesh Malion
(First one to review)
- Ultimate performance & speed
- Stylish design
- Satisfactory Battery Backup
Will update more ..... (coming soon)
All-in-one ... I'm truly in love with this device ! :)
Thanks ASUS, WS Retail & Flipkart !
Update 2:
1. 4GB RAM + 2.3 GHz CPU provide excellent multitasking & smooth experience. No lags or stutter.
2. Screen size & resolution is perfect. Splendid app does a great job to keep the display neat & sharp.
3. Superb graphics experience. Played all high graphics games with ease - Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5, NOVA 3, Mortal Kombat X, Shadowgun, Real Racing 3, NFS Most Wanted, Call of Duty Strike Team & Heroes, FIFA 15, Virtua Tennis & lot more ... still counting ... :)
4. Camera app has awesome modes & customizations for every environment & situation. (though image quality could have been better).
5. Good battery backup (but not best). Lasts a day (around 14 to 18 hrs) with medium to heavy usage & 3G always ON.
6. Zen UI is excellent with lot of customization options! (though uses lot of RAM).
7. Design & ergonomics is good. Being 5.5", still the phone is light & easy to use.
8. While playing games for more than half an hour, the phone heats a little bit near the volume buttons at back. Not something to criticize about as it is obvious, but something to be cautious about.
9. Good audio experience & decent speaker volume. (Poweramp with MusicFX gives best sound quality)
10. Lot of bloatwares that are eating up space.
11. Fast charging technology is really very fast. In half an hour, we are back to business ;)
- For good battery backup - go to auto-start manager & turn off apps that u don't use regularly (or you don't need), next regularly run boost before putting your phone idle, use ultra-saving mode when u are not actively using your device, from wifi settings turn off the always scan option.
I'm a heavy gamer & a geek. I'm truly satisfied with this device.
As a user I rate this phone as 4.5 / 5, but looking at the heavy specs package @ such an affordable price, I give it 5 / 5.
Again, thanks Flipkart for excellent service !!!!!
