The phone is powerful, has really nice Full HD screen, battery works well and Asus launcher is really great. I use ZenFone 2 daily for two months already, I like my new phone and I do not miss anymore iPhone 6+ I had previously.

No Android 6.0, Buggy software, Heavy Pre-Installed Asus bloatware, Sim card 1 issues, No network problem, Speaker and Microphone cuts out randomly during a call, Broken Rear Loud speaker, GPS Issues, poor battery life, below average build quality, Horrible after sales Customer Service.

I am using this phone for 7 days some very critical issues which take away its good look features. First, very high call drops, in my case its 95%. Call would drop within 2-3 mnutes….in few cases where call could go to 15-20 minutes call quality would deteriorate very badly….

I've had this phone total for about a year and within a couple weeks started having problems with it. It would shut off frequently and freeze often. I also experienced the very frustrating issue of it constantly calling 911 in my pocket, hand, purse etc.

Amazing phone, just amazing for its price.

World domination was surely on the mind of at least one top exec over at Asus headquarters, when the crew gathered to outline the Zenfone 2 game plan. The smartphone will be sold globally, and the stores in a few lucky countries already have their shelves well stocked.

5.5-inch IPS capacity touchscreen with 1080p resolution and 403ppi density; Gorilla Glass 3 protection; Intel Atom Z3560 chipset with a 1.8GHz quad-core processor; PowerVR G6430 GPU; 2GB of RAM; 16GB of storage and a microSD slot for further expansion; Dual-SIM; Dual Call capability; LTE Cat.4; NFC,...

No 2160p video recording; Non-removable battery despite the removable back cover; Rather large and hefty; Zenfone 2 has a confusing naming convention - not only are there several of them; but ZE551ML comes in two hardware versions

Launched last year, the ZenFone 5 was intended to be a smartphone with great cost/benefit ratio. In that, it was successful. Now, ASUS launches this new device, the ZenFone 2, which is very superior to its predecessor, not even being a replacement or a competitor in market.

Great cost/benefit ratio; Big screen with Full HD resolution; Sturdy; Great design; Excellent performance; 5 MP front camera; 13 Mp rear camera; Supports microSD memory card; Support for two SIM cards; Supports 4G LTE; Supports NFC; Fast battery charge

Could be thinner; Does not record movies at 60 fps or at 4K

"The next billion people." Google used that term several times during its recent developer conference, and maintains that Android's future is the future of computing, connecting the poor and disenfranchised….

Excellent price to performance ratio; Good screen quality; Dual-SIM useful for travellers; Lots of camera settings; including a good manual mode; Fast and stable; Good battery life; Exhaustive North American LTE network support

An absurd amount of bloatware pre-installed; Camera quality is inconsistent and often poor; Large and heavy frame

Asus has unveiled the ZenFone 2, a brushed-metal successor to the first ZenFone that debuted at last year's CES. We've spent a few minutes with the 5.5-inch device and can confirm it looks and feels great.

Asus has consistently thrown a few impressive announcements over the years, mostly along the affordable angle. The Zenfone 2's starting price of US$199 and the above average hardware that comes with it are head-turning, but as with all affordable smartphones, the caveat won't be known till we've...
