Shivam Kapoor –
I bought ZenFone 2 -1.8 Ghz because 2.3 GHz was out of stock and I’m kind of impatient :p
Frankly, 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 😀
VERY IMPORTANT –
After buying phone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE first of all do an software update of 150 MB and PixelMaster update of 90 MB (From Playstore).
First of all Thank you Flipkart for super fast and super awesomely packed Phone delivery. To count Pros and Cons –
PROS –
1) Full HD screen wih the most amazing touch – You will love it.
2) Transitions – The effects added in this phone are purely awesome. I repeat awesome.
3) 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.
4) Battery – People will say the battery sucks….finish in 4-5 hours which is COMPLETELY WRONG. I will explain later in problems section.
5) Front Camera – Front camera is like pure bliss. To get so awsome pics from 5 MP camera is exceptional.
6)ZenUI – the UI is super awesome…the icons look so cool and eveything looks so clear.
7)EVERYTHING – everything is awesome in this phone 😀
CONS –
1)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).
2)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.
3) 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.
4) 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 -____-
PROBLEMS I FACED –
1) 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)
SOLUTION – http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7395&page=1&authorid=88635
2) 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.
SOLUTION – 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.
PROBLEMS WHICH PEOPLE RAISE WHICH ARE TOTALLY WRONG –
1) Phone get heated up when charged – TOTALLY WRONG….it’s always cold….the problem is maybe you are using lot many apps or lying.
2) 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 🙂
3) 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 🙂
4) 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 🙂
5) Phone disconnects and low sound – TOTALLY WRONG..please configure the settings or use ASUS assistance app 🙂
6) 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.
NOTE – These are totally bogus complaints….I never faced any of these.Please Stop spreading useless reviews.
RECOMMENDATION –
There 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)
Finally, 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*** 😛

Well, this is my 15th phone in a span of 6 years… And I guess it is high time to admit my level of satisfaction having used Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (4 GB RAM version) since the last couple of days. Let’s start with Flipkart… as always, Flipkart didn’t disappoint on the delivery of the item. I had placed an order on 16th May (around 11 pm). Flipkart committed the delivery on or before 22nd May (needless to say that I was a bit disappointed owing to the long wait which seemed inevitable). However, to my surprise (though I shouldn’t be), it was delivered on 19th May. Thanks Flipkart! Coming to the review of the product~ I am glad to say that it’s a gem! 4 GB RAM (lag-less multitasking), brilliant crystal clear display, awesome primary & secondary cameras (though close-ups with flash turn out to be a bit yellowish), amazing sound quality, cool looks ~ all in all, a wonderful phone indeed @ 19k. Having said all this, I think I must point out it’s weakness too: fast draining battery (its not a negative aspect, since I use the phone every way possible – music, texting, calls, chatting, emails, with vibration on, constant WiFi, 4G and what not!). Well, apart from the awesomeness mentioned above, I have a last piece left to speak about – 4G LTE!! I immediately got an Airtel 4G SIM and I’m browsing seamlessly (absolutely no buffering)… mighty pleased to see download & upload speeds clocking 9 & 10.8 Mbps respectively! All in all, a must buy!

Hello Guys like you i have also searched all over internet watched lots of videos before buying this ph and here is my experience for last 1 week after i buy this ph
1:- Ph looks greats very classy
2:- 4 gb Ram is USB of this as you can play unlimited games that too at a time.
3:- excellent screen.
4:- good system software many more advance options available as power saving modes n all
i am yet to check for few
5:- continues system updated from Asus till now i got 3,4 Updated
6:- 32gb internal memory is another usb which means you can have as many apps stored on your device as you want
but ..
1:- I does feel Battery drain bit very fast
your battery will only last long if you turn off you wifi do not play any games and turn to ultra saving mode.
the best thing is if you turn to ultra saving mode you will not be disturb by continues whats up messages as it turn off background data used by many apps.
2:- Too much pre installed apps which is very irritating don’t know why asus forced there buyer to use these app. i haven’t really checked any one of them event one of them even after a week, there are too much pre installed app which is too much irritating
2:- camera is OK not bad at all.
The thing is if you really want to play those high definition games and if your fan of these classic design of these of and display you can buy this ph.
but if your a descent mobile ph user then dont go for this ph buy lenovo and any other ph available in market below 10,000.
meanwhile i hope Asus update ti solve all issue
cheers love you flipkart .. 🙂

The Asus Zenfone 2 is too good in terms of high end configurations and the best features which is worth value for money.
I would recommend this product as I have received the product today and the phone was so handy with stylish looks and more added stuffs in place.
The only thing which I found is the Asus is not giving head set with the Smartphone. I have received only Smartphone + USB Cable with connecter.
They should have provide the headset as well for this price.
Pratiksha Damle –
The phone comes with great specifications with the cost price. Overall the performance is great. Awesome clarity of the screen. Camera is bit average specially the frontal camera.When i switched on the cell for the first time faced heating issues at first but it was at its normal by the second day. Asus should have provided headsets with the piece because 19k is not a small amount.
Nitin Mungekar –
I hve been using this mobile for the past 2 weeks.So my verdict about this phone is it is a power performer. Really good display. Nice build quality. The fone really ranks above many other smartphones in performance.
Pros :
1) Excellent gaming perfomance.
2) Lots of customization in asus ZenUI. This UI is very smooth lag free and good looking.
3) There is lot of customization and many features in camera depatment.
4) There is fast charging supported charger which comes with this mobile, charges in 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5) There are instant ZenUI updates available for all the apps on playstore even the asus apps also.
6) Call quality is also very nice on this device and there is fortunatetly no call drop issue on this mobile.
7) The mobile looks very premium and unique in its class though it has plastic back cover with a metallic finishing.
8) In order to keep your mobile updated you dont have to wait for software and OTA updates, all apps can be updated on playstore even the asus builtin apps even the camera app.
9) It has 4gb ram which is very rare in mobiles, very good for multitasking,
Cons:
1) Inspite of the corning gorilla glass 3 protection, there are 2 or 3 small scratches on my display which is very annoying and dissapointing, not expected.
2) The camera quality is not that great but also not that bad. It is mid ranged.
3) The battery life is kind of a bit dissapointment. The battery drains faster when you are on wifi and gaming. The battery is good when You are ofline and not using any mobile data. This can be solved, thankks to its fast charging support.
4) While charging your phone, the phone tends to heat very high because of fast charging. This is its disadvantage.
5) The shake to take screenshot feature in zenmotion is not working at all. May be they should fix this issue in their next system update.

Its an excellent phone at this price range. I have been using this for 3 to 4 days and till I now i didn’t face any issues like over heating, hanging etc.
Some of the things I noticed:
1. Though the battery is 3000 mAh I dont see its lasting more than one 14 to 18 hours.
2. Display is excellent but not amazing (Earlier I was using S4 which had super AMOLED display; may be because of that I am feeling the difference)
3. Lots of bloatware apps (we can remove this with root access; but warranty may be void)
4. Back case is very slippery; you may need to buy an external hard case
5. Volume button is on the back side like LG models
6. Power button is on top
7. No ear phones.
Apart from the above points, this phone is an excellent buy. Superb hardware and very good built quality. Light weight too.
I would definitely recommend this phone.
Saunik Singh –
Pros,
1. It’s performance
2. Screen resolution
3. Boost charger.
Cons.
1. Second Slot of SIM is only use 2G Network.
2. Camera is not good as I’m seeing. they are providing 13MP rear camera but in comparison to Samsung 5MP & Nexus 8MP is most better than this camera.
