The world s first smartphone with 4GB RAM. But is that all there s to the ZenFone 2? Our review has the answer
May 01 2015 By Nitansh RastogiI bought ZenFone 2 -1.8 Ghz because 2.3 GHz was out of stock and I'm kind of impatient :pnnFrankly, Asus ZenFone 2 is the BEST phone right now in the market having features of 50k mobile in 19-20k. The phone had some problems in starting 2 days but if you know how to fix those little problems you will be having the most fantastic phone in your hands with your friends glaring at it jealously :DnnVERY IMPORTANT - nAfter buying phone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE first of all do an software update of 150 MB and PixelMaster update of 90 MB (From Playstore).nnFirst of all Thank you Flipkart for super fast and super awesomely packed Phone delivery. To count Pros and Cons -nnPROS -n1) Full HD screen wih the most amazing touch - You will love it.n2) Transitions - The effects added in this phone are purely awesome. I repeat awesome.n3) Freedom to Change anything - You can even change grid size, sliding preferences, themes, icon packs yada yada yada...plus lock apps feature is already installed.n4) Battery - People will say the battery sucks....finish in 4-5 hours which is COMPLETELY WRONG. I will explain later in problems section.n5) Front Camera - Front camera is like pure bliss. To get so awsome pics from 5 MP camera is exceptional.n6)ZenUI - the UI is super awesome...the icons look so cool and eveything looks so clear.n7)EVERYTHING - everything is awesome in this phone :DnnCONS -n1)Back Camera - Back camera when used in 13MP setting captures pics with yellow tint although when clicked with 10MP the pics are really good.( ASUS knows about the problem and they are going to fix it in next update).n2)Bloatware- ASUS comes with lot of useless apps that can't be uninstalled or even disabled...not that they cause any inconvenience but totally grinds my gears.n3) SIM 2 doesn't support 3G - depressing as all other ZenFone allows....but i can live with it because not like anyone buys data on both sim.n4) NO earphones and charging cable is short- as much as it sound as a CON...it isn't as only SAMSUNG is providing earphones with mobile nowadays and no one else...not even HTC. You can always buy a new long cable beside crying -____-nnPROBLEMS I FACED - n1) Battery Callibration- This is a commn problem in ASUS ZenFones. The battery callibration is wrong. your mobile thinks 35% is 1% and switches off at 1% .It got me scared and i was totally gonna replace the phone but then i found out it's a common problem and i fixed it.(Google have all answers :D)nnSOLUTION - http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7395&page=1&authorid=88635nn2) Proximity sensor - My phone goes black when i call someone and I can't even cancel the call. I found out it was my fault all along.nSOLUTION - You are using WRONG screen guard which covers proximity sensor so when you call someone it always think its near your ear and keep the screen off. Please buy official ZenFone 2 screen guard or tampered glass.nnPROBLEMS WHICH PEOPLE RAISE WHICH ARE TOTALLY WRONG -n1) Phone get heated up when charged - TOTALLY WRONG....it's always cold....the problem is maybe you are using lot many apps or lying.nn2) Battery is less - ZenFone 2 have 3000 maH......more than 90% phones in market. If your battery is dying fast then maybe close all the apps by clicking on recent apps button and clearing all the shit. PLUS Asus have application manager which solely is made to save battery and power saving app...After using all these 3 things,my phone when charged to 100% goes on for a full day... which is a lot...if you are looking for a phone which should work 2 days you are free to buy NOKIA 1100 if it's still in market :)nn3) 3G is slow - I have AIRTEL sim and 3G works faster on ASUS than it did on HTC and SAMSUNG (previous phones i owned)....seriously Don't worry :)nn4) Sound is LOW - THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS..... The phone have so loud speakers. They are just awesome...the quality of sound is also cool. If you are having problems with earphone there is an installed app - AUDIOWIZARD...kindly use it :)nn5) Phone disconnects and low sound - TOTALLY WRONG..please configure the settings or use ASUS assistance app :) nn6) phone rotates, restarts blah blah yada yada reviews here - TOTALLY WRONG....i was scared too but this phone doesn't have any of those problems...Don't worry trust me....the people who write these don't know how to turn off auto rotation or other things.nnNOTE - These are totally bogus complaints....I never faced any of these.Please Stop spreading useless reviews.nnRECOMMENDATION - nThere are two apps in your phone MyASUS and ASUS support. Please take use of it fully especially CHAT SUPPORT in MyASUS app.( it's fast and they solve ur problems)nnFinally, sorry for making you read this much long review but it was necessary to tell people about everything. I hope I covered everything. Please like this review to make it to the top so everyone can get solutions to the problems and also because it took me 30 mins to write ***exhausted face*** :P
BUYERS BEWARE I bought an asus zenfone-2 couple of months back, from the first day it was having several issues like call drops, recurrent freezing, reboot on its own. One day the phone suddenly stopped getting charged so I decided to go to asus repair centre… Though I was busy that day I was forced to stay back because they wanted to make sure there is no customer induced damage and they told me it was supposed to be done in front of customer, so they removed the back cover, opened up the back panel in front of me and had an extensive examination in front of me, and then they said that since there is no customer induced damage it is covered under warranty, then they took out a printed charge sheet wrote their inspection and diagnosis and signed it and gave it to me,(RMA NO – INYM580128) and I was promised it will be repaired soon. For one week the phone was in their custody and after one week they suddenly called me up and told me phone has suffered water damage, so warranty will not be given, I was dumbstruck to hear this and then I went to the repair centre and they opened the back panel again and the inside was splashed with water, seems like something done purposefully, and when I told him this was not the condition when you opened it in front of me at the time of submission. The guy got angry and retorted “ I don’t know anything, just take away your phone from here, I don’t have any responsibility ” I was taken aback by the reply and to be frank I was a bit scared. I just ran away from there called up the customer service and explained everything in detail, but even they are not ready to acknowledge their mistake and was telling me to pay up. WHAT ABOUT THE CHARGESHEET GIVEN TO ME AFTER OPENING AND EXAMINING THE BACK PANEL AND BACK COVER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, IT WAS GIVEN AFTER THOROUGH EXAMINATION AND THERE WAS NO TRACE OF ANY WATER DAMAGE, AND AFTER ONE WEEK IN THEIR CUSTODY THE INSIDE HAS BEEN SPLASHED WITH WATER. IF THEY COULD AT LEAST GIVE THE PHONE BACK IN THE CONDITION IN WHICH I GAVE THEM I WOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT FROM OTHER CENTRE BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH THAT PHONE, THE INSIDE HAS BEEN SPLASHED WITH WATER, I DON’T KNOW WHETHER IT IS PURPOSEFUL OR ACCIDENTAL. ANYWAY I LOST MY MONEY AND MY PHONE AND DEFINITELY I DON’T TRUST THESE ASUS PEOPLE ANY MORE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL FALL PREY TO THIS COMPANY’S PRODUCTS AND IRRESPONSIBLE SERVICE.
