Asus Zenfone Go ZB452KG - User Reviews

  • How to expand internal storage in this phone asus?

  • It hangs! Front camera image is cracking! Ghost touch is the main problem!

  • True! Ghost touch also!

  • try to playback your mp3 with google play music. is nice with head phone. if you want to play with speaker, turn off the equalizer and the sound will go wider, louder. if theres still not loud enough. live it in to the empty can, bowl or boxes to gain reflection (prefer hard material). it will go a lot louder.

  • don't buy this phone it sucks i have one i give it to my mom since i have a new phone but the touchscreen sucks and when you put a tempered glass the screen turns black what a shame also the camera won't focus properly it's a crappy phone

  • I can describe it as averagely loud but not sharp. Bass/Drum sound (unless Heavy Metal or Techno songs) not heard much if you're 1.5 - 2 meters away. If you're used to phone with better speaker you might be disappointed. Hope this comment helps.

  • How about the speaker it's loud and not noisy .I would like to use it while I working,I don't like to use headphones

  • Very nice the mobile

  • This phone has a lot of problem

  • Here is my updated review after using it almost 1.5 years. Pro: 1. Rarely hang. The only problem was using Firefox prior Quantum (ver. 56 and below) always forced close. (Fyi: I never install games on my phone) 2. For low end smartphone, the UI is super responsive 3. It's can be handle with one hand pretty easily due to curvy at back. 4. WiFi Tethering is good but with HSDPA speed don't expect much for streaming 1080p. 5. Battery can still hold more the 1 day from full charged with Whatsapp, Blackberry (job requirement), Twitter, browsing using Chrome and/or Firefox and Spotify-ing regularly. Con. 1. Camera is horrible both front and back. Mine is 5 MP version. For 2010's era mobile phone it should be better. 2. Touchscreen responsiveness. Unlike other phone, this phone need clean screen and non-sweaty hands but you will used to it eventually. Here's a tip: Wipe your fingertip before using this phone, doesn't need super clean just to make it dry. 3. Power button on top and volume button at back, was a big deal when first month using it. 4. LED only for charging function. No lights for apps notification. 5. Heavy and thick, bulky inside pocket. Still a big deal sometimes. 6. Stock keyboard little bit small as I stated on my previous review. Switch to GBoard as it can adjust height. Conclusion First of all this is a very cheap, even for low end smartphone. But, for the price, performance (except camera), and build quality it is best for your buck. I've planned to use it as my 2nd phone for another 2-3 years.

  • This device is okay but the camera are not perfect

  • The front camera for selfie not very good.. Ugly i don't like it

  • You are blaming asus because you expect more with this super cheap and the cheapest type of asus mobile phone?how funny.go buy Samsung j1 you will find it not good too although it more pricey...u should save your money and get their flagship Asus Zenfone 3 and 4 are beast enough with decent price.

  • just bought it for my mum..work smooth for internet and youtube surfing and basic stuff..camera not that nice but i dont complain. overall light weight and fine budget phone for basic user

  • unable to scan barcode properly VGA Quality Camera

  • Mine has earphones inside

  • This Phone Has A Good Keyboard No Typo At All Lol

  • Using this phone for around 3 months. As a budget phone it is good enough to give power to your daily tasks. Cons: 1. Led only works for charging. 2. No earphones inside box. 3. Front camera & back camera has a lot of noise. (Though noise reduces when using the volume button as shutter) 4. Video recording is poor. If you select high res, you'll get lower fps & If you want high fps, you have to select low res. 5. When the phone starts playing multiple video at the same time or loads multiple gif at a time it becomes hot and restarts. (Suppose after visiting a few xvideos page where the thumbnail keeps changing) 6. The display is not full black. Gives me the feel of a mirror. Pros: 1. No frequent hang issue. 2. Very good ram management. I use fb, youtube, whatsapp, chrome, brain focus all the time. 3. The UI is very good and not laggy at all. 4. The phone feels very slim to hand instead of the specs saying its around 11mm. 5. Nothing more to say, Just an awesome budget phone.

  • yes it has. look for the setting of touch gesture :)

  • I wastedvmy money to buy this phone , I thought that buying Asus phone instead of Samsung phone would be great , the camera is very bad but if you used another camera app like camera fv-5 it will be a little bit better , I just want to know how this camera is 5mp !!! It seems like VGA !! , and speaker sound is very pure and nice but not too loud , screen is good , battery life is good , performance is great with multitasking and games Just don't buy it if you need good camera and loud speaker sound I'm so sad cause I bought this bad phone and I will not buy Asus products in the future anymore ...

  • i have samsung j1 ace neo 2016..and go 4.5 cant beat it...this is budget phone..so it may have few weak side..so stop complaining and save ur money for better phone...

  • This phone is great i have no problem with this phone, long battery life, camera is good good for gaming *casual games* good for text and calls. But the problem is the speaker the speakr sucks so bad.

  • is there a double tap to wake and sleep?thanks

  • The phone is okay but only according to its price. Please stop giving negative feedbacks thus share what's the good side of this phone. Adios

  • It's a very good phone and I have used it a period of time was with one of the closest people I have and I am very close to you will buy one for me I'm very, revive this phone Asus

  • very disappointd by 3g at this cost

  • Its a phone that is not in a good condition, its software is bugged, this phone is not complete.

  • Very poor in video call. bad phone in network

  • If you need a good specs of phone try to spend more money so that there's no need for you to complain. if you don't have money do not complain in this phone.

  • Battery is also not good, it drains so fast despite the initial 8hr charging was completed

  • Camera and screen display is not good. 5mp camera but the resolution is almost the same as a vga camera. The screen display looks samdhh despite adjusting and readjusting of brightness

  • Its because of ppl like you that New User are misleaded. Dont buy it just because the camera does not satisfy you? Why dont you start being helpful by giving opinion on the phone performance? Speed? How the phone handle multitasking? is receiving phone call an issue? Network issue? Please ! We dont need ppl like you to fill up places where information on the device daily uses is needed!

  • Well , it is post like yours that trash the comment section ! Fix It ? Like how dude?? Give us a suggestion on how to fix it? Since it is easy for you to say , Try Fixing it yourself! If you wanna take good picture, get a DSLR or something. Its a phone! Not a camera! The phone does its job good.

  • if I need a camera, I buy a camera... This is a very decent phone considering the price.

  • the camera of my zenfonr phone is poor in quality please fix it

  • cause you need to focus it.

  • very very low quality Camera. I will not recommend this to any one

  • Same

  • i dont even use my music player! music player has stopped !

  • when the phone get heated due to your bad usage its gets Restart as it is for safe by not taking a risk of blast or more heated

  • Fu** this phone..dont buy it..just waste your money..my phone cant open music and my photo cant 'move to'

  • hi hans 84, i recently bought asus zb452kg. i want to know how long/years will it last. i don't want to replace it. im only using it for movies. i hope it doesnt give me problem. i dont want to buy another phone. thanks!

  • Otg support or no????if support how to use it????i want to detail because i am newbie Thanks

  • Not sure if any of you realize this, but with the specs offered by this phone using it for gaming/multitasking would surely cause it to overheat. But if you limit your usage to let's say 2 apps at a time, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • this phone randomly restarts, s***s...

  • Too many options and features of this phone. If you just know how to utilize it, you would say that this phone is really great for its prize. :)

  • Yes it's true this phone is suck i use 30min. Is so very hot, and the camera is worst.i got mind 2weks ago and i,ll give it to my sister

  • this fone is totally fake..camera os worst part of it. many times dis fone restarted automatically.

  • Fake Camera! I will not buy this phone anymore!

  • Have simcard slot???thnks

  • This phone is suck. Signal very worst compare my Samsung tab A. My Samsung got H+ signal but this phone just E, sometime 0 bar appear on screen. Very bad and unlucky i buy this phone. Want to sell it after this and buy new one.

  • rip english

  • I own this phone. The battery is at 85% but the battery symbol looks like the battery is almost over. What to do about it?

  • Plz Don't BYE this Phone ..... . . ... Beacous it's Battery Backup Is Low. And It HIT more . Internal storage is low it not connected 4G. Big Draw - Back

  • if you use it for an hour? it will be heating?

  • fixed it! checked all apps that uses location then disabled the location for the apps. restarted the phone. common apps that ask for location google apps weather

  • No heating prob.

  • Im getting the same thing with the location symbol

  • very nice for its price

  • The phone's battery drains very quickly & also the phone overheats

  • already used it for one week, this is my opinion for asus zenfone go zb452kg ( previously i used asus zenfone 4 for 2 years) : 1. user interface, i guess no big major improvement compared with the old version, but double tap to wake is nice. don't know if zen 4 can get same feature, since i did not upgrade it. 2. design: weird power/lock button, nice volume button. no light for home, recent and back? why asus don't make it? it will be much helpful i guess. 3. screen: not that good, yes it's wider and brighter but not really comfortable compared to old zen 4, even splendid apps gone on the zb452kg. 4. battery: nice, now i can charge it for 2 hours and it will last for minimum 14 hours with low to moderate use, my old zen 4 now stand for 6-7 hours only. 5. camera: it's just larger resolution, but still not good, blury, unnatural color, same as the old zen 4 6. audio: louder speaker, but when i listen music or radio using earphone, its below the old zen 4, even preinstalled music player don't have equalizer. the fm tuner even less sensitive. scanned 4 active station while zen 4 can found at least 10 station using same earphone??? !%@%@ 7. heating: nice, with low to moderate usage i don't feel any heat, or burning copper smell like when old zen 4 had on its early days. overall, i just can say that i am not really happy with this phone, but with very limited budget(1million IDR) maybe this is a good choice. best regards_hans84 i am from yogyakarta, indonesia.

  • thats Its sucks,,, very very veryy slowly startup,, HOW TO DOWNgrade OS Lolipop v5.1 to Kitkat ,,,?:

  • I recomended this phone if u not needed 4glte .

  • just want to ask about the camera, if you'll compare it to other phones, is it great?

  • i've just bought these phone 1 week ago, and its very awesome when it comes from gaming esp. pokemon go. thanks asus

  • No regrets buying this phone. :) Best specs for its price.

  • 2000mah battery and i got 4 hours sot. And if i leave this phone overnight with wifi on the battery not drain any % .Thanks ASUS. I'm so impress with the battery life in this phone.

  • hey guys, i'm considering to buy either this phone or the j1 mini. can you guys suggest which one is better? I would like a phone which can do gaming like clash royale, coc, etc. and have a good quality camera and battery life. thx

  • Using this phone as a fresh started. Quite good actually but i dislike the screen quality of this phone. Not an IPS display just TFT screen. The colour look washed out and struggle as much on direct sunlight. So far battery backup is good. I can play Pokemon Go without lag on this phone. So far performance is good but on this price range not really bad actually. Camera quality is not giving a sharped result and not the best camera for me. Even Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 can give the best result with the camera quality. But talking about the price is thats what you get. :)

  • automatically restarting.. really sad about it.. very low camera quality.. some applications not support.. the f...ing phone ever

  • Where did you buy it ?

  • I owned this phone for a month now. It is a good phone for its price because it runs smoothly and the battery drains up to whole day while I'm connected to a wifi. Some of its pre-installed applications from asus can't be update because it says "This app is incompatible with your device." The apps that can't be update are messaging, camera, Gallery, Calendar, ZenUI Dialer and Contacts, and Asus Weather etc. The camera is good for outdoor while it has many noise when capturing an image in low light/indoor. The internet browsing is fast using the browser/opera mini. Sometimes the albums on my gallery is missing and the music will force close. I'll clear the data of the gallery and music then reboot the phone. After using the device for a long time it will heats up at the back in the rear camera part. I notice that the notification led only work when the device is charging and not for receiving notifications. As of now I don't have major problems encountered while using this phone. I can say that What You Pay is What You Get.. :)

  • Can play clash of clans on this phone with better and smooth playing

  • Hi. I owned this phone and it's really a good phone for its cheap price. When you open it for the first time it is hard to set-up the phone settings to your liking. To turn off the Next Word Prediction you need to follow these steps: 1. Go to Settings 2. Language and Input 3. ZenUI Keyboard 4. Advanced settings 5. Uncheck the Next Word Prediction

  • Go to >Settings >Language and Input >ZenUI Keyboard >Advanced Settings >Uncheck the Next Word Prediction

  • I have ths phn how i turn off predict(keybord) ?

  • I want 2 buy ths phone,how is the phone frnds ?

  • is pokemon go compatible?

  • Yes, it supports compass

  • Yes, i also encounter the same prob... dunno how to fix it...

  • im from indonesia too,, Asus Zenfone ZB452KG support Compass ? thx..

  • It's better to go for Moto E 2nd gen 4 LTE

  • the phone heats up quite easily , and had some instances where it turned off in the middle of use . i need help with this , im afraid it might get worst , .

  • I recently used the item and it is the most affordable price smartphone i've ever bought. A smartphone that's probably not the best, but again it is very charming and powerful compared to other brand with the same price. I'm only spent IDR 885.000 (about USD 70) to get this phone. There's something about the design that I find interesting.. SH - Magelang Indonesia.

  • The notification led is only working at the time of charging.

  • So, lemme answer: 1) Yea, colors go messy when looking from over top edge, otherwise its clear from all sides. 2) Simply let it charge 15-20 minutes when LED is green. Probably all phones have the "issue" with first 5% of battery, when it gets drained very fast, its due overcharging protection which shows you the battery is full while in reality it's around 95%, so you wont overcharge it. 3) AFAIK its problem with Android 5.1 itself, it was reported on other phones also.

  • the led... and when the battery is low too

  • I'm using this phone right now after being forced to sell my previous ZF2 Laser due to urgency Simply put, this phone is the best for its price, sure it's not meant to be compared with its bigger brothers but it's not something you'll find from other big brands Althought some things do bug me: 1.) Just last night after I purchased it I noticed the screen is not IPS as the viewing angle is not perfect in landscape (I'm pointing at the right side of the screen when holding the phone landscape which shows its weakness), I hope it's not just me or else it might be a factory fault 2.) I also noticed that when charging the battery it's not as fast as the ZF2 Laser, it took some time to charge from 99% to 100% while it lasted in mere seconds to drain to 99% or even 98%, but below that it lasts as long as advertised 3.) For some reason the GPS/location symbol is always shown even if I've turned it off, I hope it's not a problem I seriously hope anyone responds regarding those three bugging things because I really want to use it in long-term :'(

  • I have the same issue les only works during charging

  • Please confirm if the led notification is only working during charging

  • I already used it for 1 month for calls, social media and some internet surfing. Pro: Surprisingly superb battery life for Android; Whatsapp + BBM + moderate internet surfing can last two days from full charge. Great performance for it's price range. Some bloatware are useful and some can disable/uninstall. Great display brightness and color. and VERY VERY CHEAP. Cons: Weird power button and volume button places. Heavy and thick; bulky inside pocket. Poor side view display (good enough for me). Keyboard is a little bit small for big fingers. No headphone in box (had to buy 1).

  • mine not work too. just light up when charging. how to turn it on when any missed call or other notification?

  • Mine wont work. it will just light up whenever the battery is about to be dead.

  • I just recently bought this phone.. it works perfectly except for the notification led.. it lights up when I charge the phone but it doesn't whenever I receive messages or missed calls. Can anyone confirm if the notif lights actually works when receiving messages? Thanks

  • Just nice for macro.not expecting more

  • Can play clash of clans on this phone with better and smooth playing? Reply asap...

  • TFT

  • hi i purchase this pone. anyone tell me its otg support or nt. nd feature

  • Can you transfer apps/data on the sd card in this phone?

  • What is corret display tft or ips lcd? And how in outdor n get sun ? Can you see? Please answer thanks

  • for macro ... can get good and sharp image ? ... would you please send sample image to my email .. [email protected] ... thanks

  • Awesome phone!!! It's low spec-nice price, but auto-start manager and several other good tools integrated in the phone with root rights make the phone perform really good and having it customisable in an awesome way! Only problems that I guess they will fix in software update are with playing music and screen flicker just after unlocking. In short - phone having all good features that otherwise require rooting of the phone, now work without rooting it.

  • 4,7gb

  • I want to know ... how good camera from this phone for macro ... i hope its better than zenfone 4

  • How much memori internal avalaibe this phone???

  • Im use this phone. This phone have antutu score 21615, perfomance is not so bad,camera quality is good, long life battery, not heating. Its recommended for low price phone. Its recommended for phone with 1gb of ram.

  • Hey guys. I'm planning to buy this phone. I just want to ask if its worth it. Having any issues with the phone guys? Or none? :) thanks for those who will respond to my question. Peace out. :)

  • Low quality camera but overall still a nice phone

  • no heating problem when playing games like subway surf. 6to8 hours of gaming time. better than zenfone-c 3+to4+ hours of gaming time

  • how does the battery for playing games is it have heating problem

  • This phone very better from samsung j1 series (including mini) and huawei Y3C

  • Just got it from globe telecom 1500php cashout, plan 300 for 24months. Battery Efficient, when watching movies consumers 1% every 6minutes, when playing games like temple run 2 consumers 1% every 4minutes.

  • It's about up to 5 fingers, you can see the Youtube link below :

  • Hi Guys! i'm planning to buy this on july you know how many fingers can the multi touch screen can this phone detect? if its just 2 fingers i'm not buying it...

  • I saw this phone in one store yesterday and tried testing it since i was curious about the new release. its about $85 here in the Philippines but based on my brief experience with the speed and camera of the phone it is capable than other phone at its price range here. The cam is sharp and the display is not bad either. I tested an Acer z320 which is placed beside it and you really see the difference. the front cam is this phone is very sharp compared to the acer. i didnt feel any lag whie using it. In my own opinion for a base price like that(which in our country can be compared to Samsung j1) it would be my choice.

  • its specs are worse then the moto g 2013 3 years ago!!

  • this one does not support OTG.. too bad..other than that, well it's a nice hp considering its price.. bought for rm299..lol..

  • actually it isnt even worth to make this phone, look at the spec, i mean, lol its just about the same as Zenfone C/Zenfone Go/Zenfone 4.5

  • Well this one seems to be worth only 49.99$...I mean S200!???!!!come on!!!!
