  • This is the worst phone in the world i am out $275.00 i am not stupid when it comes to phones it has been nothing but a headache i would rather use two tin cans attached with a string in the middle! if somebody offers you this phone my advice is to turn around and run as fast as you can. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Trust me you will hate it.

  • me also facing same problem...dialar pad is too slow..

  • I am also facing same can you please explain clearly

  • There is no so called call screen setting in the menu u told in Asus ZenFone 2 leaser please help facing lots of problem coz of this thing

  • I bought "Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL" in sept. 2015. after 6 months, it showed some led spots on screen. like light bulbs are there under screen. what is this?

  • after factory reset, the call screen setting disappeared, just accessing call setting now. The firmware is up-to-date, any idea on what' s going on there ?? Thanks !!

  • Its very easy to remove the blank screen during calls. 1. Open dailer 2. Open menu (Three dots near to dailer in the left. 3. Select settings from the list. 4. Select call screen Settings from settings menu. 5. Remove the tick mark from The option `Turn on proximity sensor´ And you are able now to see the display

  • Well actually,yes there is an asus costumized setting option and then select the preferred storage location to sdcard

  • Can the app data be moved on micro sdcard on this asus zenfone 2 ze500cl?

  • Your right

  • It is because of your screen guard

  • Try this in your calculator to check if your sensor is really working well. Enter .12345+ then = SMMI test will appear and then go to single test, and click proximity sensor and just follow the instructions there. So if you fail, maybe you should change your screen protector.

  • Tempered glass? You should change it with a thinner screen protector. We also have the same problem. Ps: Asus zenfone 2 is sensitive.

  • It's because of your screen protector.It blocks the sensor. But you may use your power button to end call, just go to settings.

  • I recently brought Asus Zenfone2 fro flipkart and there is a problem of screen.....during a call i am not able to cut the call as the whole screen is black and the call is cut only if the other person on the call cut it and also whenever i play songs on whats app the whole screen becomes black and when the song os over only then the screen is visible.

  • I'm facing the same problem since yesterday i have don"t on my phone please help me. what is problem ?

  • It has to do something about your service, @Dferdig. I would advise getting a new SIM card compatible with your smart phone.

  • I'm facing the same problem since yesterday, how did you get it fixed?

  • I have same problem, but after 4 months only :/

  • You try to double click power button

  • i think this device not stupid, but user is stupid. dont use smartphone if you dont know how to use it

  • My phone cannot receive calls. When people attempt to call me it gives them a message saying that its not a working number or no longer active. I spent close to 3 hours talking with att tech support and basically they came to the conclusion that its my phone because they did everything possible and they said my phone is active and working and nothing is wrong with my service. I can make phone calls (from the so called non working #), can send and receive text messages, 4G 3bars almost everywhere in this small town and data works.

  • So I basically wasted half of my day yesterday playing phone tag with att tech support. Problem: When people try calling my phone they end up getting a message saying that my number is no longer in service or deactivated. ATT says there is nothing wrong with my service on their side of the fence and tried 3 hours of random fixes and couldnt figure it out. The thing is I am able to Make phone calls, send and recieve texts, and my date works and i have a steady 4G 3 bar signal. Please can anyone point me in the direction of what to do next?

  • Go to settings< lock screen

  • iam using asus zenfone2 laser phone suddenly my phone's display light went off.how can i solve it?

  • Just bought Zenfone 2 Laser, faced same problem. Black screen when calling, can't cut the call or back to main screen unless restart the phone. After read some reviews, I've found 3 solutions: 1. Factory Reset Not an option for most people who used their phone for few months, coz this will cost u reset all settings also clear all apps & phone memories. But my phone's new, so for me it's ok to do this. Hehe... Settings &#12299;Backup & Reset &#12299;Factory Reset At 1st i do factory reset, it took awhile. During waiting, i've found 2nd solution. 2. Remove Screen Protector If u found/bought any ASUS accessories, defenitely not from ASUS, coz they dont made any accessories for their phone. That's why only got a phone & a charger in the box, no handsfree whatsoever. Quite hard to get the casing or screen protector here around me. Especially those who r using tempered glass or very thick screen protector. Who made that screen protector, i think they r not considered the Sensor (as Samsung named Proximity Sensor, so u know the functions right?). When u face the screen, can see the sensor located at above right side, just parallel to front camera lense, it's a tiny circle very near beside the call receiver. This sensor is too sensitive & hard to see. In my case, I bought a screen protector, not tempered glass i think, but quite thick & quite cheap (no wonder i'm facing this problem. LOL). After trial & error, i've found out that the screen protector covering the sensor & front camera. It had a hole but for LED Indicator (an oval shape located at above left side). Maybe who made that screen protector, they mistakenly the indicator as sensor (that's my assumption). Some review suggest to cut the screen protector. Cut until just right below the ASUS logo. So the screen protector covered exactly the screen only. But i'm too lazy to do that plus the screen protector quite thick. So i just removed it (coz i've full covered casing. Finally. Luckily). Then here come the 3rd solution, i've found after i've done factory reset & removed screen protector. 3. Turn Off The Sensor Some review suggest to turn off the sensor, just like Samsung can turn on/off the proximity sensor anytime. But the problem is, i couldn't find the setting. Maybe don't have or maybe it's in different name or setting. Maybe, i'm not sure about this. Good news, my problem solved (YEAH). I'm not sure which solution solved it coz i've done 1st & 2nd solutions simultaneously. But who cares. BYE2 & GOOD LUCK

  • Try this: 1. Select Contacts 2. In the Options Menu (3 little boxes to the right), select Settings 3. Select Call Screen Settings 4. Deselect Turn on proximity sensor. This will allow the screen to be always turned on when answering calls

  • Hello , it's true that the phone have 8 gb internal memorie no 16 gb ? And the phone it's good for gaming , for example hearthstone ?

  • I just buy new ZE500CL.. and it's has difrent spec.. i ask to the asus seller and they said ther's no asus zenfone 2 ZE500CL with 2gb ram and 16gb internal.

  • Hi! Please check your screen guard / tempered glass if it is blocking the proximity sensor. I got mine fixed by adjusting the screen guard and not let it block the proximity sensor.

  • I removed the battery from the phone. Then, I put everything together and everything go back to normal.

  • Plz give me a solution for call setting When I call background is off and its become very difficult to disconnect the call

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. I made a mistake of buying it and now I'm paying the price. This particular model has some kind of fault and looses signal at the most random moments. The funny thing is, when you send it to get serviced, which I did, it comes back without any fault to it found, because most of the time it works fine (emphasis on MOST). The problem is, the phone is wired to use 4g and as soon as it looses the signal, if it doesn't make the transit to 3g, it completely looses network. I have tried turning 4g off manually, but the problem still persisted. I have read that this is a common issues with this model, so now since I can't get the store to give me back the money since the service they send it to can't seem to establish anything wrong with it, like many other 500 CL users, I am stuck with a phone that doesn't have the basic function of making RELIABLE telephone calls.

  • Hello Babadi, try solving ur problem reviewing ur call settings

  • Screen turn dark wheneverI received or making a call. removing the screenguard or tempereed glass doesnt solve the problem, i have 2 zenfone 2 lazer , belongs to my son & my brother..both have screenguards & protected by tempereed glass but only my brother's zenfone 2 has this problem, pls help...i just bought it 2days ago!

  • Black screen comes whenever a call was received or calling a person. After that till the call is disconnected from the other end you cannot do anything. Its all black.

  • do not go for this mobile all feature is very good except calling problem. call getting disconnect frequently.

  • guys i need help. are you familiar with asus zenfone 2 z00ed?? plss give me some feedback regards on this device. if it is a legit asus phone or not.. thanks guys... bless yha all..

  • how to maintain the light/display On while i'm making a call? i can't cancel my call coz it will turn off the screen.

  • Try a factor reset. It's maybe a dumb bug by first time of the booting. If it doesn't help, go to the store where you buyed it and and they should fix it for free. That's everything what to do. There's the 3rd opinion and that's a root but you will lose your guarante.

  • Hi Gospirus, Please check below steps and confirm... &#61656; Recommend customer to use only micro SIM and not cut SIM. &#61656; Check whether SIM setting is activated or not (settingàDual SIM card setting à inserted SIM is selected or not) &#61656; Check for latest FOTA update, &#61656; help to check unit in safe mode: &#61656; if working fine in safe mode perform factory reset, &#61656; Cross test SIM in another unit.

  • All of you telling that the battery life is awful, yes but it was before. After an update the battery life is really good. i can get up to 5 hrs of screen on time with heavy usage such as watching youtube and games. It is a really good phone though.

  • need help !!! my phone has a big problem with wifi when i put the sim card in middle east what i can do !!

  • I bought one last week and when the brightness is set to higher levels it is not dim to me.

  • Same here... I've experienced a similar problem

  • Can you guys let me know if the display is annoyingly dim? I've read that it's one of the dimmest screens on today's phones. Is it usable in daylight/sun?

  • use the smart saving battery

  • i bought this about 3 months ago! my problem is the video recording. it freeze when it about 8 to 10 minutes then i suddenly force restart then my did'nt record it! anyone can fix this?

  • I bought the phone 4 day ago and the battery life is poor. If i use wifi connection it takes 1% of every 3-5 minutes, and it has a little heat when i play with hard game like asphalt 8 hearthstone etc... But in overall it is a good phone just the battery life is the only problem. I don't know in the android 4.4.4 KitKat version on the phone is better at saving some battery life but the Lollopop upgrade the worst adnroid upgrade what i ever seen from google.

  • i am using this phone about 3 months now.. and i can say that this phone is nice.. about battery consumption disable the pre installed apps for longer battery life.. i dont have any issue on this phone.. actually may fiance also bought this phone because of the beautification of the camera the shots really amazing..

  • 8gb

  • This phones is so bad only for the battery. I don't like.

  • This phone is a gift to family. Working fine , about 29% battery drain on standard 24hour usage on phone only no 3g 4g internet data features. The camera is weird though, human faces indoor seem to have a reddish unnatural tone to it. Sensor fault ? Any solution ?

  • This phone didn't have long battery life. I charged it until full at 8am, and the battery will low at 11am (using 3g network non stop).

  • This version supposed to be internal storage 8gb or 16gb ?

  • "Radio - To be confirmed" It has FM radio, you can update the info.

  • Why is the led light not flashing or blinking when receiving text or notification??

  • if u don't want the screen blacks out just move away you ear from ur phone. so the screen will active again why it turn black and inactive bcoz its protect your phone from missed touch when making a call

  • Does anyone have this issue when making a call ie the screen blacks out and the touch screen is not working? It is so inconvenient when you call a bank and you cannot press the screen to press the options required.

  • Need help! The phone blacks out when I receive or make a call. I unticked the option under call settings - No background during the call, but it didn't work.

  • same here,its so cool than original z2 freaking huge!

  • this is not a flagship model, dont hope for any further upgrade. you pay for average price, you get average treatment.

  • I just received this. Ran all the system update, which was 90mb + 40mb + 40mb. Android version is 5.0.1 now. Why can't it go up to the latest 5.1 ? hardware limitation ?

  • Asus zenfone has very good features only battery is the problem.. pls fix it asus.

  • The problem of asus zenfone 2 was battery drained so fast it took only 1 hour when playing games.. when charging cp is getting hot.. when full charge battery after a minutes battery reduces about 5%.

  • I am afraid you might have bought a duplicate version.. There is now an Imported version (which is actually duplicate ) In duplicate version you will find the Flash on top (in original it is beside the lens) I might be wrong. However,if you are having problem then contract Asus customer care for fixing it.

  • Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML buy this one. the best choice.

  • No problem at all. My version is 8gb

  • I tried to charge this phone and it didn't work, it vibrates with the battery signal on, but it is not charging at all. Anyone can help with this will be great.

  • your right men , its simply the best when it comes to usage rather than other phone. go for it!

  • Hello guys. Can i run Hearthstone game on this phone?

  • Sorry bro, but your calculation is wrong af. the battery lasts for like 6, 7 hours on maximum usage. Here's a short review: Its takes 1.5 hours to fully charge from 0% with phone switched on & 3 hours with switched off. The phone is nothing but a beast.. Mine lasts long for 16 hours on medium usage. Camera qaulity is more than better but less than best. Lots of free Ram & Rom.. I updated it to Lollipop 5.0.1. It's amazing af.. Way better than buying Samsung, HTC, Xperia & other expensive phone.

  • The PixelMaster Camera of this phone can be updated to look like the ZE551ML's camera interface. no manual mode but noise was greatly reduced, awesome

  • Does it support dual sim?

  • It supports micro sim card.

  • yes it does

  • Does this phone have theme support?? pls reply

  • does support otg?

  • Does this phone support NFC?

  • Bought it 5 days ago, nothing but thrill. I purchased it in Belgrade, Serbia for 250 Eur. Read some of the reviews under, but nothing bad to report. Updated over OTA to 5.0.1, no problems so far, battery lasts something to 30 hrs. I can just recommend this phone !!

  • Just bought my ZE500CL in less than 1 week. Unfortunately, after updated, I got a problem with the receiver speaker. I cannot listen to my caller voice at all. Seems the receiver speaker is not working. However, they can hear me as the mic is functioning. How can I solve this? Please help because I feel really hard to make or receive calls. Thank you.

  • LG G3 )))))

  • so basically the question is why does a 5 inch phone hold more icons than a 5.5 inch.. it is because the launcher of both phones are different from each other. you can just download a launcher from the store if you want more space for the icons.

  • after system update...my sim not recognize...:(

  • Rooted? If yes unroot then update

  • whatare the latest version of this model? lollipop?

  • overall its good for non gamers, my only problem in this model is sometimes its shutting down on his own, i encounter this several times when im texting or calling. what should i do? i also updated the system.

  • anyone facing wifi problem? i connect on my wifi but cant you internet at all . pls any1 help dis problem. . .TY

  • Single sim.

  • Does the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL take a Nano SIM or a Dual SIM?

  • Yes it does

  • Hi guys, Please advice. If I compared my old zf5 with this new zf2 ze500cl (or with ze551ml, the situation is the same) I found out that to the home screen of zf2 I can put less icons and shortcuts than to zf5. On zf5 home screen I had two rows icons, the google search and the time with daily weather forecast. And now, on zf2 I have place only for the icons (2rows), time with daily waether forecast but that is all. For the google search there is no place. How does it possible? What and where can I set up? I compared the whole menu but I did not find anything...maybe it is my fault, please advice. The situation is the same if I compare my old zf5 with zf2 ze551ml. It is not normal that to 5,5" screen I can put less things than to 5"...

  • now the phone is like only having 1GB RAM like the ZenFone C, however the performance and internal storage are not affected at all, it is still a good phone. Hope ASUS will release a next update to fix this RAM usage

  • Does the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL take a Nano SIM or a Dual SIM?

  • After updating to latest firmware the phone now consume too much RAM, though not affecting the performance

  • Try find it at Asus store

  • Is this phone has a notification light?

  • you probably don't want to change your battery, when that time comes, you will change your cellphone unit

  • I have change my ze500cl with the new 1 and i found that's NORMAL. You should drain ur battery 1% and it will charge as usual.

  • This phone is good overall,build quality is quite good,sharp vision of its 8MP camera,well-defined screen,utility apps,performance of its Intel's processors is somewhat slow,but it's still running fast and smooth and lastly its design is chic.This kind of phone is highly recommend.

  • anyone know where to order an orginal charger?

  • anyone knows where to buy and original charger?

  • Yes, the volume control sometimes are glitchy, especially when watching YouTube. hope asus will fix this soon

  • Thanks for the solution, now I think AudioWizard has messed up the volume control. Now the control is normal

  • Turn off AudioWizard

  • Blank/black screen on incoming calls? I found out where is the problem, the Asus calling screen app is wrong. If you turn off/stop this app than the first call is ok, but after this call the app automatically turn on and on the next calls you will have blank/black screen. You can wake up your phone with double tap or with power on/off button...any advice how to resolve this problem?

  • Hi guys......asus zenphone has a non removable battery if after 2-3 yrs we want to replace the battery what would we do ??????

  • Hi guys......asus zenphone has a non removable battery if after 2-3 yrs we want to replace the battery what would we do ??????

  • Ok Sir. I can Update my system now. Settings>About>System Update>Check Update. Im right sir? FIRMWARE is included system update?Reply sir.thanks to you.!

  • Thanks. I update my system now. System update. Settings>About>System Update>Check Update. Right Sir?? Firmware is included there.? Reply please

  • Update the system to the latest firmware version. One of earlier firmware version has issues with charging.

  • Hellow Guys?. Whats my problem in my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL. Battery Charging is stop to 59% . Its so many times I encounter that. Please help me. If my phone is fake or factory defect. Please please

  • sorry but no, I have not screen protector...what do you mean it is the problem with prox. sensor but this is something else. The cell phone is locked, I have a call, the phone is ringing but the screen is totally blank, I do not sew who call me and I can not answer...only the power on/off button is working.

  • Its cause by your screen protector

  • This phone actually has one drawback aside from the battery. It's the camera, which is a slight letdown from Zenfone 5. Indoor photos are noisy if using artificial lighting without flash. But it still unknown yet if firmware update will enhance the camera quality

  • Charging with phone switched off actually take a longer time for this phone. Mine is also same. If switched on it takes 2 hours but when off it takes 4-5 hours to fully charged from 5%

  • Hi guys, can anybody help me...with blank screen in call in?! Function "no background during call" is off and in spite of this the screen is blank if somebody call me...any advice? Thanks in advance.

  • Same thing happened to my phone. I just bought it last week and only get to used it for few days after i sent it to technician for the second time in two weeks. It really bothers me when i left the phone turned off and left it charging for 2 hours but the battery life only increased by 5% then i turned it on and after another 2 hours.. it stopped at 65%. Overall. The battery life is well performed and i like most of it. Only the battery dissapoint me.

  • Hi guys i would just like to ask if anyone of you is experiencing no led notification for messages but on battery low moments it blinks thanks

  • But ZenFone 5 have better design and sold millions ..LOL..

  • about 5-10 percents

  • Final question, sorry, if left standby at night, does its battery percentage decrease drastically ?

  • roughly 6-7 hours on medium usage

  • How long it can last after full charge ?

  • This model is highly recommended for INR10000, high performance, excellent camera, LTE support, high-speed wifi, and many more (overall it's better than zenfone5). battery life is not so good but that's not a big problem for non-gamers.

  • I want to buy this phone but how about its battery life ? I want to use it for calls and social only, not gaming, how long it can last ? In dilemma right now, whether this or ZE550ML version..

  • I think this model should be called ZenFone 2 Lite due to lower specs

  • Great phone. Recommended to anyone. Love it

  • Yes

  • Does it have a built-in Radio?

  • Yes it's single SIM, like the ZenFone 5 LTE (A500KL)

  • this phone have single sim or dual sim?

  • Is ze500CL 1sim? Respond Please? I need to now po eh haha

  • Just bought this phone yesterday. Everything is fine, no lags or bugs, internet speed is very impressive, though it's only HSPA (my provider doesn't support LTE). WiFi speeds are fast and responsive. Camera is a little bit downgraded from ZenFone 5, but it's okay and you can install Google Camera to improve its quality. The only downside to this phone is the battery, as with other ASUS phones, it drains very quicky after 4 hours of normal usage, even with Smart Saving. Otherwise, this device is very decent for its price range. Just don't waste your money buying other brands with same specs but higher price.

  • power button issue and software crash? What firmware are you currently using?

  • So i just bought this phone today and I love it. Personally it's a bit pricy for me and it's my very first mid range android handset. I haven't encountered any lags when gaming or browsing, and yes this does support 4G LTE to those who are asking. The only complaint that I have about this phone is that I have to press the power button a few times to turn the device on because sometimes it doesn't register my hand pressing the power button and the System UI crashed on me twice which is a bummer. Still, for the price and the specs it simply can't be beat and I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a good phone that doesn't destroy your wallet.

  • also the ZenUI

  • I had using this phone for more than a week. I recommend buying this zen 2 because the performance is excellent and battery life is great and it is comfortable on hand. I really loving it!. The price tag is not so cheap nor expensive but in moderate range Camera is very awesome high quality at 720p more than you can vlog around with this little beast. Don't waste your money buying samsung or apple due to design or the stylish look just look at the performance of asus its the same as samsung but more advance running on android 5.1 its still a very good phone with 4G,LTE and wifi with no problem download or uploading any files within a seconds.

  • Its LTE support.. The design and the battery..

  • What's the difference between this phone to Zenfone 5 aside from the 2gb ram?

  • I think this is possibly becausr ASUS wants to reduce the price so they don't want to put higher-spec processor on this phone and keeps most of the features same as the Zenfone 5.

  • Heating is normal when ur using intel 1.6ghz processor. To minimize the heat close other apps in background and clean the ram. Im using this phone for 2 wks now everything is fine. If ur just browsing battery will last for 12-14 hrs straight. In gaming its lesser since its intel processor but youll not experience lagging and you can do multi tasking since its 2gb ram. The wifi has the biggest plus in this phone in my experience downloading is very fast since its already supports lte. You cant buy lte phone with low price. If youre not a gamer youll never understand asus. Another plus is the corning glass 3 screen you hav a peace of mind when ur phone accidentally fell. I rate this phone 95/100

  • by the way, why this phone isn't powered by the Z2580 or even Z3530 instead? It would be better.

  • Yesterday asus release new firmware for this phone. I have apply to my phone. So far there is some improvement in battery

  • I am using this about 3 days from now and i am so concern about the battery life. I used it with wifi on.. Super low Brightness using an app.. Browsing and Messaging and only lasted about 5-6 hours..&#128551;&#128551;.. is it normal? and sometimes the touch will click anything and my home will go swipe from left to right without even touching the screen.. Anyways The phone I rate it 95/100

  • So I bought this yesterday but found that it will inly charge if unit is turned on. If off, screen animation shows it charging but if turned on, charge hasn't increased at all. Please help.

  • im going to buy this. Tel me about this phone

  • Has anybody received an update for the phone or is it just for the 4gig version?

  • Yeah, 3rd day of using it, and I have to say battery life improved(as how I feel), since now it can go on for the whole day before it needs recharging. So, Intel Atom processors do consume a lot of power as compared to my Lenovo A680's mediatek? Since, accdg to specs, thia asus zenfone2 packs an additional 500mah than with what the lenovo A680 has. I'm just troubled with the heat it produces when using the camera for a long time. Forgetting all these drawbacks, I can say that this is a great phone for its price tag at PHP7995. Thanks yusuf for the info!

  • I think it's normal for the battery life, all Asus phones has same battery drawbacks. for the heating problem, it is usual for Intel smartphones

  • Got this phone last sunday at SM. I want to sk other people who alrrady owns this phone, how long does the battery last with a full charge? I'm very curious since mine only lasts around 12 hours or less with wifi. P.S. Just browsing facebook and gmail and replying to some SMS. Oh and it gets hot while simply browsing these 2 websites. No other apps are open ans it ia in ULTRA-power saving mode. My 1 yr old Lenovo A680 has its drawbacks, but using it the same way with the same websites still givs me maximum of a day and a half with 1 full charge. And it doesn't get hot as the zenfone2. I want to know if this is normal, so I could get a replacement if ever the zenfone2 I bought ia defective.

  • the reason for the blank screen is because your using tempered glass which has no hole at sensor..im experiencing the same before..after change the tempered glass no problem anymore

  • second problem is....After call in/out connected. my screen goes blank without anything respond, even the power button. Unless the another person disconnect the calls, the the phone can wake up back to normal. You can watch my youtube at:

  • Can anybody comment on the battery life? Is it better than zenfone 5?

  • I like its camera, lcd....good. Overall is ver good. But here i want to let you know the bad side of this Phone. I use it for 2 days only at this moment i post this. 1) DAMN hard to open the back case, i swear i hate this stupid design because it doesnt make sense...your nail may hurt and maybe later can sue ASUS. 2) My device LCD will goes blank when calls connected, (in/out) even whatsapp call. Its totally blank, ever power button cannot do anything unless the another person disconnect the conversation. There is something function that so called NO BACKGROUND DURING CALL....this damn thing cannot use too. This phone is sucks. I never regret using LENOVO.....K900 until now....Xperia too.....first time with ASUS....like stupid.

  • how's the 3G speed, is it good? And can we move apps to the SD card?

  • yes, tested flashdisk and camera connect

  • Battery is 2500 mAh

  • battery 2100 and 2500

  • best phone I ever use...100 out of 100.

  • I have been using this Zenfone 2 ZE500CL for about 3 weeks. Here are my opionion: Pros: - Fast enough to play game: CoC, Hayday, etc - Wifi easily connect - Camera OK with filter editing -Fast charging about 2 hours untill full Cons: - Body temperature is hot when watching Youtube, Facebook and play games - Batery drain fast. It survive only about 12 hours using optimal mode - Intel atom processor is hot - In indoensia it is seldom to have 4G in signal. Signal always show H+ (HSDPA Plus)

  • does it support otg like zenfone 5?

  • 10 Star phone.... Best ever smartphone have ever used... Even better than sluggish galaxy s5.. Using from last 15 days.. Plwered with intel 1.6 ghz quad xore processor, great camera, good battery, no leg all, oper how many application you want to use still no leg.... Asus bravo.. Now onwards I will go only for asus...

  • Defective Unit.

  • phone reviewer are being paid to review the phone, dont judge it by reading so called "reviews", hands on it urself then u will know how good/bad the phone is, I personally experience weak WiFi issue compare to other device, return it and exchange for note 4. website review only talk about spec not quality, which is quite misleading

  • They both have 8gb and 16gb (rumored). Just like ZF5

  • The only difference between Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 2 ZE500CL is the OS version and LTE support. ZF5 use Jellybean/Kitkat, ZE500CL use Lollipop and supports LTE. Other specifications are the same as ZF5

  • Anybody tall me Asus. zenfone 2 zood model set is good?

  • so whats the different of this and zenfone 5 ram 2gb, rom 8gb?

  • Just bought this phone, but it didn't recognise any of my sim cards. Can anybody help?

  • Hi Ars, hope you could shine some information on the phone. I've planned to get one for myself, so a hands on experience from you will be nice to have. If it's not too much to ask, kindly advise me on the following details: 1)I've heard the proximity sensor is buggy, the screen doesn't come alive when you remove the phone from cheek during call. Is this true? 2)How about the display viewing angle, does it grey out when tilted to the side.

  • cons vs pros of this handset: firstly it have good camera but not very great like samsung a3 have however its selfie is v.nice. battery life is not very strong but still enough to survive up to 12hours under normal usage however this problem is balanced by its fast charging mode.

  • the malaysia ZE500CL only 8gb. i received it today.

  • Hi! Does this model have selfie panorama? Thank you!

  • hey it has 8gb rom only,but you put 16gb

  • Is this model has any issue? I want to buy this one. Please respond

  • I haven't used this fone so far but I am really impressed after reading different reviews on different website and online unboxing. The best part of this smartphone is it have 2gb ram mean that u can run heavy games secondly it also have Intel processor which have quite a big edge over a5 or krait 400 or mediatek chipset and I have heard that phone is great in terms of low light photography color production focus and everything is good. The most exciting for me is it ZenUI which is very responsive and easy. More surprisingly it comes with lollipop update which vindicates that company is sure that it's smartphone works best at lollipop update and hope they will surely update it bcz after all this is Asus first second gen phone. Demerits may include battery which is good for some people it might be avg but still better then previous phone. No NFC and infrared port which r not very essential but still needed for today's competition.plastic body however new smartphones are found with metal or aluminium body. This surely doesn't proves any biasness in msg and I will surely write after I will purchase it.

  • its just a zenfone 5 remodeled and named zen2 for 8k

  • no mentioned ..

  • is that this model is included with headfree or headfones

  • so far it only mentioned 16gb.

  • Does this phone have 16gb or 8gb storage ?

  • when u listen call .sensor close the screen . when u finish call and the phone away from ear ,need to wait sensor refresh back to normal . u need to wait it. this is in order to get rid of insulting the phone itself when listening to call..... sensor problem only.... asus create like that no choose.... ok..?

  • asus zenfone already come out new model ZOOED.android 5.0.2 . 5" HD 720p . 2gb ram 16gb rom . camera 12/5... 64 bit qualcom snadragon 410 1.2hz quadcore. ti is not intel atom again.but no nfc support . but atleast qual com snadragon chipset can save alot current and smooth in use. can consider for those like qualcommm model.....then video is full hd..... thank you..!

  • Im having the same problem as well.. have you tried the test? open calculator and key in .12345+= scroll down to proximit_test, mine failed.. just dont have the time to go down to Asus svc centre yet.. but this is really annoying........

  • My proximity sensor works ok. Which FW do you use?

  • Battery life - 30hrs. with 30minutes web surfing, few calls, few messages. When playing videos, battery lasts ~1 day.

  • I've received my Set on 7th of May , since then I'm facing the below issues : proximity sensor is not working properly. does nt unlock the screen, when i take the phone away from ear. i have to unlock by pressing power button, its irritating. its becomes difficult if u have to use phone while on call. and the call ends automaticaLLY, the signals also drops. its not network problem. have tried few networks. is shows unfortunately asus calling screen is stopped. Is it just me or other people rae also facing the same issue ?

  • This seems like a good upgrade from the zf5. Better battery backup, awesome camera, etc. It's not a substantial update. Also about the dual cores, the iPhone has a dual core processor and look at the performance on their.

  • Is this phone worth buying compare to zenfone 5. Its specs is a little downgrade and upgrade at the same time compare to zenfone 5. I like its battery but the dual core 1.6ghz is lower than zf5 2ghz dual core. Zf5 also have fm radio. Its really pretty much the same. Except for the zenfone 2 lg-like design.

  • Pls let me know how's battery life?

  • Hi! Is there a LED notification on this model? BR

  • Does this phone has 64 Bit processor ?

  • for the first time the zenfone doesn't use dual SIM, in this ZE500CL model.

  • OMG when is this phone going to be available for purchase in Germany already, it's been two months since its release!?

  • Try Windows Lumia Phone. Just download the country map and you can use GPS live and maps offline

  • I bought it this week, unfortunately its wifi and hotspot don't work. Is there anybody knows how to solve the problem?

  • i want clarification on camera pixels are clear or not

  • This is because this model is a second generation of Zenfone lineup. So they named it as Zenfone 2 as a successor for the previous Zenfones.

  • Hi All, I want to use smartphone as a offline gps device which: 1. Doesn't require data connection for navigation 2. Have good gps catching capacity ( currently using mediatek processor which doesn't catch gps) 2. Is Qualcomm processor better than Mediatek or Intel processor fo gps? Please reply

  • just bought its 3 days ago.. and its very fast and good. battery back up is good too. price is awesome ^_^

  • iphone6 is a good phone indeed. But I have android too. I can download movies and mp3 music without using a laptop ^_^ only android phone can do it. and its battery last a whole day without worries.

  • How is this phone. How to working the phone and the phone is good or bad?

  • Is zenfone 2 support dual sim

  • Zenfone 2 is coming after Zenfone 5 ? Why?

  • when i can purchase this mobile in market

  • If this phone can root?

  • im not really an iphone user myself, but i second the motion.

  • I hope GSMArena crew review every Zenfone 2 model as soon as possible...

  • Don't be taken in by specs you don't understand. The best selling high end smart phone is the world, the iPhone 6, is "only" dual core 1.4 GHz processor and just 1GB of ram and it can run every game in existence as good or better than the best spec'd Android.

  • i agree 5 inch screen really fit for me too. but i worry rumour said about heat problem causing battery drain ??

  • cause cores matter? lol. learn about what is important before comment.

  • Is this phone good? i saw Zenfone 2 ZE550ML screen is 5.5 and its too big i think ill choose this Zenfone 2 ZE500CL

  • dual core?? really??

  • This has many advantages over zenfone 5 : . Better battery. . Fast charging technology. . Android Lollipop. . 400+ PPI giving a far better visual experience . And I think it will have a headset with it and a 64 bit processor. ~ :-) . [email protected]

  • yureka have so much lagg and heating problem like mi4 althought back yureka camera like 4mp but they said 13mp bullshit

  • It's Zenfone 5 with new look. Absolutely.

  • when Asus ZenFone 2 will be marketed in malaysia ?

  • Zenfone 2 ZE550ML support dual sim

  • This mobile will not support dual sim?

  • lol , True it's exactly like Zenfone 5 but with the zenfone 2 look .

  • The phone too long and the bezel so thick ...

  • But how pls tell me reason

  • while the Intel Atom Z2560 is dual core it is a multithreaded CPU so each core runs 2 threads. That is why it is 2x2. 2 cores x 2 threads (4 threads).

  • Yu Yureka is better than this

  • There it reads- CPU: 2X2: Intel® Atom � processor Z2560 1.6GHz. So what does this 2x2 means here?

  • I think is good, but it is not dual Sim.

  • I hope it's not copy-pasted.....or else....

  • never heard of that!

  • Better Mobile..i m waiting for Asus Zenfone 3 ZE500CL

  • It will have only one micro sim support, and again a non removeable battery, so sad

  • and OldSkool is better than futuristic and epic looking phone's there just Like LG G3's slogan "SIMPLE IS THE NEW SMART" Simplicity is much better than epic looking"

  • That's why there is "Design Language" just like Sony, Samsung, LG and HTC the Zenfone 2 ZE500CL has that iconic concentric design and its a huge difference from the last year's generation the 2nd Gen has more thinner bezels and more rounded edges. just like Sony's Xperia Z, Z1, Z1c, Z2, Z3 and Z3c they all have that almost identical design but you can identify it if you look at them closer... God Bless!

  • So big body for a 5 inch screen!!!!!

  • oh yeah... and so is the iPhone and Samsung phones flagships...

  • Hey asus go hire new designer your design become olskool! Everything looks the same from zenfone 5-6-7 fonepad!

  • Are the specifications really for the Zenfone 2? Or copy pasted from the Zenfone 5??

  • Dead bussiness for ASUS if launching device with single sim especially in india. They must get lesson by xiaomi note 4G.... bad luck this time ASUS

  • User removable battery facility should be made available to choose in future.

  • I think it's zenfone 5 with software update and will be sold in the name of zenfone 2. Lol

  • Z2560 is a dual core CPU.

  • Hope this phone's processors is a true quad-core instead of 2x2 processor, and the performance should be better than the ASUS ZenFone 5......

  • Is dual sim is better mobile

  • i thought zenfone 2 has 4g of ram and 13mp.

  • Zenfone 5 with 2 more cores 4g and no second sim slot , that will heat alot or maybe not if there's no hiperthreating. If it's cheap and doesn't heat up it will be great, but i'm waiting for the 5,5 version with the better prosesors..

  • average specs.
