Asus Zenfone 4

I got this product some 2 weeks back from Flipkart at Rs. 5999.nnThe phone was working fine till today, apart from heating , camera and low battery life issues. I was fine with them as I anticipated them before buying.nnBut today as I was sitting on a chair and working , I tried to take my phone out of my pocket and it fell (approximately from knee height).nnAnd the great so called Gorilla glass shattered to pieces.nI called Flipkart they refused to take any ownership about the issue, they gave me some local Service Center Address, where Asus was no existing.nnnI called Asus number available in web, was able to connect after 6 hrs of repeated retries.nThey gave the right address of the support center, and when I reached there my frustration doubled.nnThey asked for Rs 4000.00 just for the glass (display and touch are working fine) for a phone which I bought at 5999.nnI tried calling Asus guys and they said they do not have any information about price of spare parts.nnNow I do not know whom to reach out, probably the only option to get my phone serviced at the asked price.nProbably that is the plan of Flipkart/ Asus when the market or sell the product.nnI would suggest not to buy this phone.

Asus were supposed to launch 2 models of Zenfone 4 via Flipkart,ni.e,nA400CGnandnA450CGnnwith the later having a bigger screen(4.5') + Better Camera(8MP) + Led Flash + better battery(1750Mah) + Better Screen Resolution(480x854) and also Android 4.4.x KitKat out of the box only @Rs.1000 more.nnBut I guess Flipkart realized the fact that the A450CG would kill the sales of A400CG,nSo vanished away the A450CG model listing totally.nnEven today,nwhen you google "A450CG" the 4th link that shows,is of the flipkart's selling page of the same.nBut to everyone's demise,on clicking the link,we are taken to the homepage of flipkart.nnSame happened to the Zenfone 5 (8gb) series to sell the (16gb) version.nPrice being the vice-versa factor in that case.nnAlthough its a good marketing strategy,nBut people,nWe shouldn't be fooled with such marketing tricks.nStop buying this phone and wait for the A450CG to be brought back,or leave a mail to Asus regarding the same.nnOnce done,the price of this model will automatically get lowered too.
