how to upgrade this phone android..from kit kat to.upper

AnonD-692283

Im been using this phone for almost 2 years+ now and i must say this is the most BRUTAL phone ive ever used since Nokia 3310. 10x+ drop on the tar road, 5x on my home tiles but still capable to functioning very well. But now it seem to have some problem especially with auto-restart and hang on full memory usage. Maybe, it is time to buy the new one but still using zenfone 5 lite as a secondary phone. LOVE IT!!

Pharm

Purchase it last wk in lazada but unfornately it keeps on hanging.. Can u help me solve this.

richie

Mine worked fine... I purchase this model as soon as it was launched in 2014 and till today its still working fine.. drop the phone more than 5 times and throw to wall as well but still working only screen cracks... best smart phone I ever had.. cheers Asus

Why

The new update for it can't download...but the old one can...I format my phone recently and the wechat can be download from Google or the wechat website...

AnonD-609133

Jithu

It's a great phone. I have been using this phone for almost 6 months and I experienced no problem. There is not much of a lag or any other issues in the phone. The problem is the front camera. As it is it is only 0.3mp.but the rear cam is great to take pics. I suggest this to everyone.

ling

U can go for xiaomi redmi note 3 or xiaomi redmi note 3 pro

leo

I thought asus will also give a lollipop version to this kind of model that is why I'm waiting but it seems they are not going to do it

A502CG User

ASUS is not working in updating this kind of model to Lollipop. ASUS has a really BAD service. sucks! i was always sending a feedback about my experience with this device but they are replying with some links and survey.

How to update my Asus zenfone 5 lite A502cg...?

Lulu

I don't know if I'm the only one who have problems about recording Videos / Sounds~ Can someone please answer me~ Why It automatically closes everytime I'm recording a video and in sound recording it doesn't save? Then I also would like to inform you all about the messenger and fb app it automatically closes while I'm using it (Don't know if the problem is with the app or the phone)~ then about the battery, it drains quickly even if I'm not using it~ Sorry for having too many questions / issues~ I just want to clear everything~ Thank you for understanding and for answering (in advance)

queen

why my phone camera is not clear and not good quality?

cath

my phone has no sound.what should i do?

hana

it was released at the end of 2014 (only like a year ago, still kinda new model if you ask me), so i expect the quality of the front camera to be at least 1MP. it only got VGA, and to be honest, it sucks. So to those who like to take selfies, you might wanna consider buying another phone. oh, and after updating, the phone cannot support wechat. tumblr and weheartit are fine, though. I don't really have a problem with the battery life, when fully charge it can last for a whole day (unless you're streaming videos on YouTube of course) the UI is just nice, the design is cool, it is not laggy, (well not when i use it, i don't know about others) the primary camera is good, which make up for the sh*tty front camera. so i guess for the price, this phone is quite ok.

AnonD-481632

i had a same issues.After updates this phone gone crazy!cant open any apps..even contact.This phone is totally piece of crap after updates!!

if want to purchase this phone then you need to make friendship with charge cause this phone take charge like free water. Even thing this phone doesn't have FOTA update but if update manually kitkat to lolipop then it start showing lot's of problem so my suggestion will be don't purchase this phone.

Zul

If i know the battery draining like water..i rather buy lenovo from using this zenfone Sigh ~ -,-"

We have the same issue on my Asus Zenfone 5 Lite. So dissapponted,used it for only 7 mos.

asus please fix the battery problem in your asus phones...battery drain super fast.

Stevengerz

I rather buy lenovo a5000 at this price range bcoz this phone become hanging while u play some games after i updated the zen ui launcher.. consuming too much ram and never handles it well.. so never update any zen ui app bcoz your phone become slow down and use too much ram.. battery life was average i would say bcos it can last for 5 hours of internet usage but not for gaming.. just open for 10 minutes playing games and its turn down about 5-7% of battery usage.. planning too buy lenovo a5000 soon bcoz the battery backup and have an good speed processor than this one..

Facebook app is not working in my phone

The message adds or sends text messages sent back then. Like if I send my friend sends me a message, it sends a different one from our past conversation or adds a part of my friends past message to me in the present message she sends . Is that natural? Because it really creeps me out. It happened 2 times already.

Its very good budgeted phone with all configurations.. but sometimes having problem like.not able to do conference call some times.....rest of all ok

Anonymous

My friend had the same issue. He contacted flipkart customer care and they have assured him a replacement. Hope the new one doesnt have the same problem. Actually if you look at the battery stats, android os will consume the max. But for other phones it will be the least. The process keeps the system awake even when the phone is idle thus draining out the charge. Hope the new one doesnt have the issue. My opinion will be you better contact flipkart.

AnonD-369447

I have the 8gb Zenfone 5, and have done for a few months. It's a great phone to be honest. It's quick and responsive, I haven't had any problems with it so far. I've compared it with others in the same price range, such as the Moto G, and I much prefer the Zenfone. If I had to make a criticism, it would be that the buttons a the bottom are not back-lit. Rarely a problem though! Oh, and the specifications on this do not exactly match my phone specifications, I think they might be for the 3G version rather than the LTE. The Intel chipset doesn't support LTE. Mine has a Snapdragon chipset. Hope this helps. ThePope

Hey guys, this phone impress me a lot not only on its price but also on its specs. In fact i am planning to buy one only there is something that holds me back. Base on its specs, zenfone 5 lite has only a soda lime glass with oleophobic coating (which is scratch and smudge resistance). Im not familiar with that kind of "glass thing" but out of curiosity, tried some research and i found out that compare to corning gorilla glass, it is vulnerable i think. Will it crack so easily if u drop it by accident? I hope someone will answer it coz im having second thoughts of buying it. Thanks a lot!!!!

I bought this fone last FridaY,, no hanged apps but no gorilla glass,its just a soda lime glass.pssh., all is fine except the cHarging mode,verY slow,it takes a wHole day but in overall perFormance is good:))

..i do not like the new system update. how can i restore the original system?

I think i finally figured out a fix for the '' systemui has stopped working'' error when you press the recent apps button. Just go to settings>lock screen>turn off quick access (launch apps on lock screen). Im still not sure though,its still a 1 day since i tried it but no errors ever since. Thats a good sign for me since i used to average 2-3 errors per day. :)

Just bought this phone earlier today, for the equaivalent of PHP5675.55 (RM450.00) Looks - 10/10 Feel - 10/10 UI - 9/10 Internet via plan - 10/10 Wifi - 8/10 Calls - 8/10 Overall packaging of product is great. Charger, USB cable and earphones are of excellent quality. I bought this phone after my old Samsung Note 2 finally died on me. Was looking for an alternative replacement and dare I say it? The Asus Zenfone 5 Lite is actually a step up. Cheaper and is better than the Note 2 (mine anyway).Only worry is the calls tend to drop (my area coverage probably). I highly recommend it for anyone on a budget and who wants a class smartphone without the class price.

Very good phone overall. Design 10/10 Interface 8/10 Asus Updates 10/10 Sistem optimization 10/10 GPS 10/10 Internet and data 10/10 Camera 8/10 Display 8/10 Batery 5/10 (weak) Works great, looks great, feels great. If the battery will hold more, this phone would be perfect.

im also facing that problem but it doesnt annoy me much. In fact, I love my asus ZF5 lite. Good performance, the UI, Average Camera, the Battery is also good. If I rate it 1-10, it's 9/10 for me. Guys, if you are in budget..I suggest this phone badly. .:))

I just bought my phone 4 days ago and since then, when i press the recent apps button, i sometimes get a sytemui has stopped working error. I read below that it will be gone after a month but is it really true? Is there a fix for this? Its very annoying.

AnonD-167518

That's the difference with the Lite version. But for me, it's not a big deal as I have a good quality earphones that I have been using for months now. Maybe it's Asus' way of keeping the price down. The default package is the phone unit, charger, usb cable. Even without the earphones, it's really worth it.

AnonD-167518

Bought mine last December 22, 2014. I would say it's the best phone in the same price range. I have canvassed most of the local malls near my place and researched thoroughly, compared every brand, phone model, specs, price. I could conclude that Zenfone 5 Lite is the best phone in the same price range.

YEAH! hahhhaha! fearing you might run out of battery before CoC disconnects you from playing too long ei? lol!

Zenfone 5 Lite User

For Php5595? For me, this is the most affordable phone with high end performance. The camera is solid 8 mp. You can see the difference. VGA is not the big deal at all, you can edit your pictures with so many applications out there. The screen resolution is soo good. The battery life is nice, but drains a little bit fast if you are gaming. If you are in a tight budget, this is the best deal out there. So i'll give Asus Zenfone 5 lite a 8/10 points. PROS: gives a quality camera, battery life, smooth performance, crisp screen resolution, good for games. CONS: VGA front Camera, Smaller ROM and RAM compared to zenfone 5,

Desperate to know

Is it OTG capable?

How big is the internal memory? it doesn't say in the specs

Precisely it has no headset included... I was also shocked at first and i came back to the store where i bought it to check whether the headset was loss.. the store opened another unit and unboxed it and unfortunately it is confirmed that no headset included in the box...:( Just a sad thing to hear... ASUS could you confirm this?

Asus guy

In my opinion ... pay a little more and get Zenfone 5 ; it's better than the light version in processor , screen and RAM ... Good luck mate :)

I bought this phone just today and it doensn't have a headset.is it true that the headset does not included in the package?

GPU is stated in this site, it is embedded on the CPU which is Intel Atom Z2520 or we can just say integrated. Please click the link below for more information on the GPU. (http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Atom-Z2520)

I purchase this incredible smartphone yesterday and for me its a two thumbs up. PROS: 1.Better Battery Capacity than the Zenfone 5(A501CG) 2. Good Picture Quality 3. Good UI -> Zen UI 4. Good Processing Performance 5. Dual Sim Capability 6. Touch Display Very Responsive 7. Good Design/Durability 8. Intel Dual Core Processor with (4 Threads)/QuadCore CONS: 1. Front Facing Camera VGA compared to 2MP 720P of Zenfone 5(A501CG) 2. RAM IS DEGRADED FROM 2GB TO 1GB 3. INTERNAL MEMORY ALSO DEGRADED FROM 16GB TO 8GB 4. DISPLAY DENSITY was reduce from ~294 ppi to ~220 ppi -> however it does not affect the performance. 5. Protection -> from Gorilla Glass 3 to Oleophobic coating. 6. GPU is unknown(however i will be doing some testing on what droid games the user can get into) Verdict: As i have dig in to all the specification of this two smartphones, its just an inch higher from the original zenfone 5, the good thing about the zenfone lite is now more people can buy a high performance smartphone with a more less and cheaper price with bump in the latest technology. i recommend this phone to people that is tight in their budget.

murdoy

Late reply dudes I already bought one and I have the casing punched at the back to clear the slot for the camera...but thanks anyway.

Lollipop

my wife and i bought it. asking me to find her a nice phone to use. i read the specs and features of this phone (ZENFONE 5 Lite) and it's quite reasonable for it's price. 1G ROM 8G internal 4g usable. why not? and yep. the only cons are the VGA front cam. anyway i'm not going to use it but my wife. it's a good buy here in PH. Thanks ASUS

plc

Zenfone 5 and zenfone 5 lite back cover are not the same. So if ur gonna buy casing,ask for the lite version case

mac13

@ zenponepave, yes they are off the same size when it comes to the screen. the mere difference is that when it comes to their specification. ^^

Anybody managed to get Nokia HERE maps running? I read on a blog that it does not work with zenfone.

i bought zenfone5 lite today 8gb internal memory 1gb ram.

kelvinPH

if i'm not mistaken, rom is 8gb and gpu is same with zen5

jhojie

why theres no ROM and GPU?

jagger

Do not expect too much from battery life if you use your phone for games. Even iphones suffer short battery when playing games. For games, use tablets usually with bigger battery.

plc

i bought this phone last week Games tested: dead trigger real racing 3 nba 2k14 Performance is OK considering its price

bimbo

No internal memory (rom)? Plz reply me, im planing to buy zenfon 5 lite and the battery condition??

kelvinPH

the gpu of zen5lite is the same with the zen5 so i think their performance for gaming would be the same, except that zen5 has higher pixel density than 5lite

mr. blitz, im also from philippines. did u actually purchase this phone? if u did, can i know if games like dead trigger and asphalt 8 are playable in this phone? please let me know..need ur help. i planning to purchase this phone. thanks in advance.

hey blitz the zenfone 5 A500KL is available here in the Philippines or just the lite version?

jit

if i face any battary problem !!!!!!!!! as it non removable what shoud i do??????????????????

Sathiya

"Zenfone5" worst phone.... I was totally fed up with this mobile... First I got Battery problem, after few days camera clarity problem, den after some days mobile was getting heat while talking.... I asked for replacement and got it, but there was no improvement at all....

Blitz

Great Move from ASUS! I was actually waiting for Zenfone 4.5 to arrive here in the Philippines, I'm glad Zenfone 5 Lite came instead! PROS:(compared to Zenfone 4) It costs just 1000 pesos more than Zenfone 4. It comes with Android KitKat out of the Box. Better Camera (8 megapixel) with LED Flash Bigger Battery! Even higher than the Batt of Zenfone5. Plus, ALL ZENFONEs will get a LOLLIPOP OS upgrade by April 2015! The only CON for me is the VGA front camera, but since I dont do video calls often, its not a deal breaker. Zenfone LITE is PERFECT for people who find the ZenFone 4 too small, but cannot afford ZenFone 5. Kudos ASUS :)

whats the issue of the battery of this jk? can u rate the battery from 1-5? please. .

Asus vs Moto E?

Is this supposed to be rival for Moto E? Price is just 1k less than Asus 5 A501. I thought they will launch upgraded version of Asus 5 A501 with better battery and OS but all we are getting is this lite version.. :/

why this stupid specs? this is going to be super flop!

If you can get hold of redmi 1s in the first place

I think Zenfone 5 LTE A500KL is WORST than Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon plus 2GB RAM.Built in storage 16GB.And of course its LTE (4g) with Cat4

old chipset, are they falling on to samsung strategy to sell off stock boards, which aren't edgy enough with the current scene, and i dont think anyone will go with a vga cam as secondary nowadays.

without any internal memory how can we install apps to this phone!

no good, the ram only 1gb

Annon

as what i have stated on my first comment when this lite version was posted to be available on Philippines, I'd rather go w/ the redmi 1s internal memory, ram, processor, resolution, for thesame price.
