  • I've been using this (Asus Zenfone Go ZB551KL) phone for almost 9 months...since then, the problem I currently experiencing with this phone is that it sometimes restart by itself. Why is this happening? Is it normal? Or the phone is in deep trouble?

  • same problem with me..the gps went down after 3 weeks i used it...until now almost a year still the same this gps is suck...did other asus model also have this problem...

  • Can someone help me in my problem?? My phone asus go 5.5 lags and freezes and its hard to touch the touchscreen for example you have to tap the icon many time in order to open, with just one drop accident my phone becames like that. Please can anybody help me!! What shoul I do???

  • Don't worry.it's normal.

  • My asus zenfone go 5.5 is no tag brand asus in upper front of screen..is this normal?? I cant see the asus brand in front of screen..

  • Been using this phone for 1 year ++. The phone is good BUT. biggest problem with Asus ZenFone is their GPS. Around 2 weeks after I bought the phone, GPS died already. Send it back to service centre but unable to fix. The 3rd time it went in for repair only GPS issue solved. But after few months GPS died again until now. Fed up of sending it for repair so use the phone without GPS. As for system, Facebook always crash when high usage (load lots of video). Phone touch function will hang and become unresponsive sometimes when launch a game. (Buttons all working but touch function not working. Need to remove battery to force restart to make it work back. Tried leaving it for at least 15 minutes but still not responding). Overall, a good phone with condition of no GPS function, Facebook will crash and hang here and there, and when screen hang and not responding, need to remove battery to force restart.

  • Hai guys , I bought mine last thursday and I have observed that every morning the arrow back option of this phone wont touch for 1hour and half. Did you try this kind of problem? It makes me worry because I just bought this phone for just days

  • Yu can even upgrade it to nogut.after 10 year 😂😂😂

  • Try to delete unnecessary app,if doesn't work the last way is by resetting your phone.

  • This model better than j3

  • Sorry this is the actual link I posted the wrong one-

  • How to root

  • is anyone here who are having this kind of issue as well?.. my phone has been acting strange lately.. there is "Ghost touch" in my phone, the screen is not working properly and over heating my battery which lead to draining of battery. would there be any remedy for this?>

  • This one bro

  • Should i buy samsung j3 pro or this phone?

  • What?

  • Fast charging??

  • The phone is good but it is bad but overall it is good however it is bad at times. So if you are looking for a good phone, this is for you because it is bad.

  • TRUE!

  • I have an Asus ZenFone Go ZB551KL and it does not have a Local TV but it has a FM Radio

  • I want to know ,Is Asus Zenfone ZB551 KL have a TV Local feature ?? For Indonesia TV Station ( Not Streaming or Use Internet ) n How about the Radio FM Turner ?? Thanks for the information

  • Phone is good for its price vs specs. Battery life is also good and you can play games that are not very demanding. I'm using it for 4 months now without turning off the wifi and browsing most of the time. One full charge lasts a whole day and if I'm not using it that much, it can last up to 2 days. Although if you are expecting for a camera phone, this isn't for you. The autofocus is slow and image quality is not that great.

  • This phone isnot good 'front camera very bad . Gps very bad . Auto start manager dont save my editing . Touch screen most time not responding . What can i do ?

  • This phone isnot good 'front camera very bad . Gps very bad . Auti start manager dont save my editing . Touch screen most time not responding . What can i do ?

  • i experience my phone heating up too. camera is not that so good takes about 5-7 seconds to focus. camera features are great. battery life? is not that bad..it is a 3000 mah battery but i feel like it gets low fast even i am not a heavy user.

  • I don't think so.. Because as my experiences this cheap phone value for money when you compare with another chinese cheap phone camera and performance.. If you really need for camera performance why don't you go for asus zenfone 3 deluxe

  • It's great for a budget phone, I don't know why some expect it to perform like a Galaxy S7. smh

  • Zenfone Go 5.5 can upgrade to marsmallow?

  • hahaha. maybe your right. i wanna buy this.

  • Same here :(

  • cant play movie well...

  • no, no update from Asus yet.

  • It is just almost 1 week on me. The cheap price convinced me to buy it. I am a first time Zenfone user. I love the speaker, it sounds good when I am listening to music. Although the fast charging is good, it just takes 2 hours instead of 3 to fully charged. But sometimes when I unplug the charger 100% battery level will decrease to 80% fast. But the good thing on it when I slept and forgot to turn off the data or Wi-Fi, it still has power in the next morning. I like the screen resolution and the big screen size with corning gorilla glass. It looks like an expensive phone. They said that the GPS is not working, I haven’t tried the GPS yet. I don’t use much GPS function in my phone. The sound of the earphone is very good too. The camera is good most specially outdoors. I also quite contented with the selfie camera. Photos taken indoors are dark, just need minimal edit. The double tap the screen to wake or to sleep function is very continent for me. Sometimes some apps get crush when I touch the screen very fast. The battery is not that good. I am not a gamer and it is still lasts for a day. It has 2 gig of ram but the OS already took half of it. I love the ZEN UI, it has a lot of customization options. One thing I hate it much is it gets hot a lot easily. I can’t use it for a long time outdoors because I am afraid that it will overheat. It is also gets hot when charging.

  • how to fix GPS? GPS not working properly

  • Zenfon go 5.5 have problems in gps..very poor in locating locations.grab and uber peeps should not buy it promise...

  • it is good phone. they feel bad because their standard is just to high

  • I will not recommend this phone to people who is looking for a good performance GPS and a high resolution photos, this Asus phone model or most Asus phones will really disappoint you... Me and my friend were travelling from Cagayan de Oro City to Manila, before takeoff we both activated our GPS and Geotracker & GPS status apps, for us to measure plane travel speed and know our location, my friend's Samsung phone works very well while Asus phone sucks, very poor GPS performance, very disappointing.

  • Very bad front. Back camera My mobile

  • It's a nice phone with big screen,good camera,good battery life,fast charging and smooth performance.the only thing I don't like is the virtual keyboard,it doesn't have enough spacing between characters. Overall it's a nice phone my rating is 9/10

  • This phone is not good camera at night its blurd how could i fix???.. Hoooo! I dont really enjoy the camera .. I regret that i choose this phone .. Only camera at Night is problem but over all this phone is nice

  • the problem in this phone sometimes restart,camera auto detection sometimes slow .gps not working.sim card sometimes disconnect.just put paper gam behind SIM.it fix for me.already test playing gangstar vegas mod and nba 2k17 mod .it playable in low setting.touch back screen sometimes not respon,maybe couse from tempered glass,i dont know.surfing internet and watching online very good.batery duration depends on owner.just disable some background running which dont use.i use injector for heavy download on this phone .overall,this phone still very good for me .

  • im also expiriencing this i fully charged my asus then when i start using it it starts in 80 percnt

  • Its kind of good phone..however i confused how could my speaker problem wont solve and this could be the second time i repaired it at the center

  • This phone is totally good but the camera takes time to set,i remember that when i have to capture something so preciou,you have to wait like 30 secs to 1 minute in order to use the camera...sucks though and the back cover can easily be scratch ,nevertheless ..overall the phone is good...i rate it 8.5/10

  • Does it support volte

  • Does its digital rv work well here in the philippines?

  • The GPS is sucks. Not accurate. Not recomended for someone who love travel.

  • how to prevent divice idle?

  • I changed 3 models of ASUS mobiles in the last 8 months, and vow!!! they are one better than the other...I have fallen in love with the ZB551KL model with the 5.5" screen, it has a 2GB RAM and #@GB inbuilt memory to satisfy my thirst...this phone has the functions which I think even a mobile costing 40 grand (Indian Rupees) mobile will not have, every applications has its own functions and fundas, amazing!!! What else can one ask for or buy for 9700 indian rupees????thats the price in india today So guys and gals......Go for it!!!.....

  • nice phone its been 6 months for me and i have no problem i enjoy the touch of the screen when its sleep it looks cool and i plan to buy the new phone from asus.

  • Back camera unable to stop until now 2 months the cam not fix from the serviced center help me for the lence of my cam

  • Battery sucks. Just fully charged it then opened my wifi, battery went from a hundred to 99% in just a minute. And it freaking takes me more than four hours to fully charge it.

  • Nice and day light camera performance is better,battery I get for one day for moderate usage

  • gps problem

  • can it stay for a day or more on stand by mode without any text or calls or non usage

  • Bad for navigations!!! Listening music from internal speaker not good it's to weak, not recomended !

  • How much this phone?? Can u tell me if this is good phone??

  • i have this phone right now ..so far so good ..long life battery tested . must try this !

  • I love this phone. I just purchased one and it has a lot of functions, plus a bigger screen for viewing too

  • Tomorrow m gonna buy this phone so can u tell me is it good phon or not

  • Yes, performance stable, the led screen give u a good movie watch experience, but the battery a little bit drain faster , idk..maybe because I am a hardcore user or else, If u a gamer, with 2gb ram u can play w/out worried bout lagging..how bout Camera. Yes,camera not as good as iphone or oppo but,Asus has its own features tool to stylish and enchanted ur photos, But,still this model, need a carefull guy to care bout it. My phone already get replacement on its digitizer n inside-screen, it cost me almost 200 bucks in Malaysia currency. That my opinion for now

  • Is this phone good in terms of: • Gaming • Multimedia • OTG Support • Performance ------------------------------------------------­------ Many people says it has GPS Problem... I don't need GPS :P For MODS: Sorry for reposting this because the other one is Not english xD

  • If you want a fully Functional GPS Phone this is not for you. :)

  • Is it a good phone? I just wanted to know about this phone, coz I will gonna buy it sooner. Reply please. I need your opinions guys.

  • How can i watch tv from this device? I heard this model called by name Asus Zenfone TV from other country. So ,I thinkin that they dont put that name for no reason,right?

  • yes

  • No

  • think not

  • is this OTG support?

  • Just leave your phone at 4G or LTE. It will auto switch to a next best signal if 4G /LTE is not available. As in the phone Setting --> More networks --> Mobile networks --> Network mode. Do ensure it is set to LTE/..GSM (auto connect). The Telco will auto provide you whichever is the highest to lowest connection. From 4G/LTE --> H+ --> H --> 3G. you need to know which TELCO you are connect to, not towers. If that tower is not your Telco, you cannot be connected. Telco tower which is very high, and have multi antennas on multi frequency, will be able to transmitted to more areas widely & far.

  • I am in the Philippines and I have 3 different phones, H+, 3G and 4G/4G LTE are all different, if your area has not support for 4G/4G LTE it will still have internet but only H+ or 3G even if the LTE switch is switched on, you need to know the towers in your area if they are capable with having 4G/4G LTE because we have a lot of places in this country that has limited access to the internet

  • your statement is contradicting itself about the 4G and LTE, those 2 are the same, don't confuse the people in here

  • is this phone 3g, h , h+ , lte?

  • it is possible to upgrade the operating system??from lollipop to marshmallow of this unit??

  • Great phone. Has its + and - + Built in TV is good Long Battery life ! Camera wows simple person like me !(comparing to my S5) - -GPS is simply useless(works and does not work, if works may not be accurate at all) -SIM that has nano cut and when you put it back to phone with adapter may sometimes lose connection with the phone, added extra paper for that problem and works. - Sometimes when i bend the phone restarts.(might be because where the power putton is located) Sadly would love phone more if GPS was properly working :( Suites for person who uses internet ,for usual calling and TV if signal is good

  • Great photos in daylight, i wouldnt go that far, truth is i seen chinese 5.5 inch phones for half the price that takes better photos if disregarding geometric distortion that most people dont notice anyway. But is yours the 8 or 13mpix camera? Which one is the worst?

  • Thats what i said, but suspecting the question came from philipines i had to clarify that when the phone say 4G it means LTE, not like in phil where many, including the carriers, think 4G means H+. You just repeat what i say, not helpful. But sure, its confusing, just last week a philippine girl i know was fooled into buying a "4G" phone that the store said was same as 4G LTE, even the stores dont know the difference now. And thats why zenfone go 5.5 owners there expect it to say LTE and not 4G, they need to be made aware of 4G being the same as LTE in the outside world.

  • 3G, or UMTS and is the successor to the GSM network and faster. H and H+ are standing for HSPA and HSPA+. Both use the UMTS network, where H is faster than 3G and H+ is faster than H. 4G stands for LTE and is the fastest.Thanks google. I can see H+ in locations with no 4G connection so the two are different.

  • Great display and design. The battery is also good and take great photos on daylight.

  • it is the same for me, I have sent it the 3rd time not the phone is not even 6 months old yet. No more Asus for me, Asus do not care they just want your money

  • yes, the GPS will stop working after 1 month of using it, GPS detection will be slow slow slow and until nothing, sent my phone 3rd time on the same issue would not recommend you to buy this phone. Asus service is also bad, they don't care as it like they will just repair until your warranty expired

  • it says 4G when on LTE. If you are from philipppines the thing you csll 4G is called H+ elsewhere, when others say 4G they mean LTE.

  • Quick question here. How do i know if im on LTE?

  • Mine has quite acceptable focus times considered it uses contrast detection. Do not compare with phase detecting cameras on newer phones. However the small apperture can cause focus issues in low light. Fully Agree its great value for the money and 32 bit is not a performance disadvantage on android anyway. Impressed, this is basically as good as galaxy note 2, and i paid exactly 6 times more for Note 2 four years ago.

  • Great phone for the price, surprised to get 16gb storage at this price. As for being a 32 bit soc, it really doesnt mstter, only iphones has a massive advantage with 64bit CPU. However im disappointed that Android gotten much worse since last i had it (4.3), wow how much it sux, going from terrible to ridiculous, what a mess lol. So this phone does not risk being used by me, just got it coz its cheap, if you can stomach Androids catastrophic workflow and annoyances this is amazing value for the money, and its so cheap thanx to the clueless boys who think 32bit is out and talking down the price of all 32bit devices, thank you clueless boys :)

  • Zenfone max was a total disappointment for me. For a model that has GPS as one if its features on the box and website but just doesnt work is terrible. For those in doubt how it was tested, heres what I did: - Out of the box FW, downloaded offline maps, tried outdoors with clearskies no surrounding structures, no wifi, no data, no blu tooth, pure gps only (why? Gps function is a separate hardware built in the phone for offline navigation, wifi, data, and btooth is just an alternative or support for accuracy for areas with possible obstruction when connecting to gps) No GPS working - updated FW to at least 3 versions up to the most recent, did the procedure above...still no gps - went to service center since unit is still in warranty, told them the things i did and they acknowledged it and i was told to wait three weeks. I patiently waited and finally got my phone back. At that time I checked GpS and it looked like it was locked to where i was (service centers location) i assumedthey fixed it. Went back home and It was later i realized when i tested it at the center the wifi was on, so it was detecting the location of the ip address of the wifi connection. I turned off wifi, went outdoors on a clear sky using an offline map again gps is not locking. I quickly checked the paper they gave me and read the trouble report, all they did was a re flash of the FW. WOW, just WOW. ASUS, I HOPE YOU VALUE YOUR CUSTOMERS. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

  • Any issue about this phone?

  • any issues about this phone?

  • just put behind sim, paper gam one layer only and cut follow the shape of the sim.it make the sim fit when insert to phone.this fix for me.

  • After update touch screen not working anymore, send to warranty and back then gps no function as all . Camera took picture worse than cheap lenovo a5600 ! Kinda sad with asus

  • me too, did you resolve on the missing solo tv app? I've won a zenfone go TV and its not commercially sold here in PH. When i opened it theres no pre-installed solo tv app. so how can i watch the free air tv without this. and i don't know if this is available in play store. please help

  • some application on this phone automatically close and prompts com.blablala.. unfortunately stopped ... and some app became slowmotion and unfortunately stopped...so disgusting

  • How i can do update Android version?please help me about this regard. Thanks

  • As per the cost of this phone the features are sufficient , the camera is awesome & the battery backup is good....

  • ok, so i have given up- the phone was sent back "fixed" and still only barely locks onto 3 satellites. those of you that understand GPS know that a minimum of 4 satellites is required to accurately navigate. its stated that this device has GPS ( USA) and GLONASS ( Russian) as well as Chinese satellites (bei do)?? - the more systems , the better and more accurate. needless to say- i recieved my device from ASUS unfixed. unchecked, non fuctioning, claiming all was fixed. I have sent the phone back for a full refund and will now try my luck with XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 3 PRO. ( same price better specs) was going to try the LENOVE K5 note , but they only use the USA GPS and not the RUSSIAN and Chinese satelites. ( more satelites , better navigation) sorry for the rant guys. I used to be an ASUS- FAN, lack of customer support has tarnished the brand for me, if you get a fully functional phone best of luck to you .

  • Micromax Canvas 6

  • This a really good phone, for a budget phone that is. I was really impressed with the battery. But with the camera? not so much. It sucks on lowlight both the rear and the front. But with natural bright light you cam take some pretty decent shots. Also the focus is REALLY slow i get annoyed trying to get it focused.

  • Great phone for documentation like Photo and files bigger Memory for cpu :) (y) Build more for Future .. from your :ASUS Fan

  • I have the same problem on an Asus Zenphone Max.The only answer I received from Asus France was that I hadn't filled in the correct support request form although There Is Only One!!

  • yeha you're right. Don't blame the phone

  • i bought this phone and it doesn't show any bad stuff like the GPS. This phone is amazing and i'm contented that i have it. This is the second ASUS Zenfone that i bought.

  • Same here. :(

  • it's good smart phone, i like it thank u asus

  • I really regret buying this phone the 13mp rear camera is very discouraging for it has a poor quality compares to other cheap phones that has beautiful cameras even it's 8mp or 5mp.And the front camera it's very horrible..I wish I didn't buy this phone.. ASUS is very dissapointing. I think they have best quality in laptops and not on their celphones..

  • I really regret buying this phone the 13mp rear camera is very discouraging for it has a poor quality compares to other cheap phones that has beautiful cameras even it's 8mp or 5mp.And the front camera it's very horrible..I wish I didn't buy this phone.. asus very dissapoint I think there just has best quality in laptops and not the celphones..

  • Bad camera. If you're looking for a good camera phone. This is not for you.

  • If you are looking for phone to play POKEMON GO, DO NOT buy this. I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS! It has a horrible GPS function. Im satisfied with the other function though...

  • same

  • sim 1 or sim 2 of my zenfone is unavailable even if the sim is inserted properly...how to fix it?is this a factory defect?i just bought it yesterday

  • It's a very good phone,battery back up is amazing and I really think you must buy it...

  • dont buy this phone !!! it's GPS sucks ......

  • Ok , so here is the email i got back from my phone retailer as to why the GPS does not work, """"Sorry, again I am late in replying your email. Checked and confirmed that your repaired phone is now leaving HK and on the plane to AU. As per info from our RMA team delay was due needed to replace some part of the SIM slot / tray. The reason satellite doesn't work properly because the slot can not read SIM card properly and so therefore need to be replaced. I do really hope that the phone will arrive at your address before weekend. In case you need to call DHL Saturday, their number is 131 406 and your tracking number is : 7021349285""" very interesting, i used a GPS tester, which doesnt use a sim card- i had my wifi on, ( incase the app or apps need data) ( i never had any issues with data on any other app like facebook) and i could only ever pick up 3 satelites at best. Asus is spreading lies to cover up a chronic issue- i dont believe its the sim card slot, i never had issues with data or calls- i will get my phone back in a few days and test and report back here with the results.

  • The Go models is have a variants of choice,the one with 3mp at front and 8mp at back is 4.5inch models and this one is 5.5inch so the camera is better with 5mp or blabla front and 13mp at the back

  • Same here. Try calibrating your battery. Just fully drain your battery and charge it without turning on the device. After the LED turns green, wait for about 15 minutes for battery trickling stage. After that unplug it from charger and turn it on. Note: Please charge your device when it reaches 20% battery. Frequent battery draining will affect the life span of your battery.

  • i bought zenfone go 5.5 after using it in 2 days, i'ved noticed that everytime i charge it it is full then u can see 100% in the battery but if you used it it starts in 88%. what is the problem with this model?

  • Don't. Blame the phone?? Listen,this is my 3rd ZenFone, I know how to use GPS, I use it everyday and am using my zenfone selfie while waiting for the service centre to fix my phone. Don't try discrediting me. You must work for asus , always try to blame the customer and not the phone.disgusting

  • Just got this at afternoon, less than 5 hours use the phone touch screen not working after update ... Totally fainted

  • already do factory setting, mock location, GPS High Acc.... but still problem (always show seeking gps... when using waze)

  • anyone here in the philippines having the same problem in your zenfone go gps? planning to buy this phone

  • If you have a problem to your GPS don't blame the phone. Blame the settings.... Change the settings.. set GPS in High Accuracy And Turn off mock location in the Developers Option.

  • The camera is 13pm or 8mp? At back?

  • I have sent it twice already for the GPS problem the 1st time is after a month of buying and after I got it, it was only working for 1 month and now it is back with the service center. I won't recommend you to buy this model.

  • Hopefully my problem also will be solve. Already sent the phone to Service Centre. Definitely won't buy any of Asus phone after this.

  • Same as mine. Already sent back to Asus Centre. Definitely won't buy any of Asus phone after this.

  • i already bought this phone a month. having GPS problem

  • Niceeee

  • The phone is faulty.return it to service centre, you have a faulty rf absorber

  • Already on that setting, Mugen. Thanks for the advise.

  • Okay. Thanks for the advise.

  • You should turn your GPS on and go to Settings----> Location----->Mode---->High Accuracy

  • The phone is faulty.return it to service centre, you have a faulty rf absorber

  • Does zenfone 2 backcase fit to zenfone go 5.5? The outer design on both seems similar..

  • im using it for about a month, havent experience any issue, :) maybe you have a bad internet connection or something :) or try to allow pokemon go on your mock location if im not mistaken , maybe it will help!thanks

  • Hi guys, I'm here in the Philippines. Any Filipino having issues with Pokemon Go? It's always NO GPS FOUND error when I play it. Started 2 weeks ago.

  • If that is a selling point, then asus has big problems.

  • All this issue about GPS. Just be thankful that your phone did not blow up while charging like the other brand. :) PEACE!!!

  • Ya I know.. Just want to know anyone else got 2910mah same as mine..

  • Official ASUS website also says it's 3010:

  • May I know what's the battery capacity of this model? The unit I got comes with 2910mah battery, not 3010mah as stated in gsmarena.

  • Yes, it can lock maybe at 5 sats max under clear sky. Maybe one or not at all inside the car. Now it can lock to almost all it can see after repair.

  • Is your phone can't lock location at all before the fix?

  • Update: Called customer service about the GPS issue and the helpless agent told me there was an issue with the new FW update and engineers are looking for a solution that will be rolled out on the next update. I wasn't satisfied so the next day I called them up again to ask if service center can roll-back the FW. The 2nd agent told me that there is no known SW issue (1st agent is lying) so better bring the device to the nearest service center for check-up. Guess what...after 3 days it wasn't a SW issue after all but an issue with the GPS hardware (RF absorber). So guys, don't think twice. Bring your device to the service center to claim warranty. Just to be sure, use 'GPS Test' app from the playstore to check the gps connectivity. My device can see a lot of satellites but can only connect to 1 or 2 inside the car before repair. Now it can connect to more than 20 even inside my house. Hope this helps.

  • Ok.. so I just bought this phone few days ago after deciding between this phone and lenovo a7000 plus.. Testing everything including gps it works fine.. I guess I am a few lucky 1 judging from the comments here..

  • Oh look an asus employee shill. Listen buddy, before trying to dicredit me and the others take a look at the Google searches. We know how to use GPS. I used it for two years with asus and years before that using Samsung and huawei. Congrats on buying one of the few unfaulty phones asus made. But asus needs to step up and you need to actually read the comments and stop pretending your are a guru about all things gps. Our issues are real, you sir, I doubt are.

  • I have this phone for 4 months and I don't have any issue on it. For those who are complaining about GPS might as well contact the store first/use your warranty and find out what really causes the issue before posting some feedback here. Funny, how these people complaining about GPS but how are they testing it? Please don't tell me that you guys are using pokemon go as a method of testing the GPS.

  • EDIT##### WOW, just read all the reviews below- had no idea the amount of gps issues on this thread- looks like its substantial!! BE ADVISED_ DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE_ ITS FAULTY########## Original post.... After owning the original Zenfone 5 A500CJ for two years and loving its simplicity and execution i decided to again purchase the latest offering from Asus- the Asus Zenfone ZB551KL. I Used the A500CJ as a business phone making in excess of 30 calls per day, using its camera for site inspections appraisals, and using its GPS for pin point location when walking thru the streets of my city ( Melbourne Australia) to ensure i make it to my appointments directly- saving me time looking for the correct address. 2 years it served me well, battery declined as they all do - so i upgraded ..to this heap of CRAP! A search on the asus forums shows 12 threads started by non related posters (tip of the iceberg) where a GPS issue exists- no response from ASUS, the issue is simple, the GPS wont work- the phone does not pick up gps signals. ASUS knows this and they have not rectified the issue. The phone is either faulty- (please google gps and zb551KL for yourself) or has faulty software which wont be fixed. Either way if you need GPS ( which you are indeed paying for) you will not be able to use it with this phone. Sorry asus, you had a fan, i own your 2013 Nexus7 , i own two of your zenfones, i bought a Zenpad S and i bought my son a zenfone whilst in Thailand on a family holiday. But im considering samsung or Huawei or HTC or even Xiaomi for heavens sake?? still deciding...... Needless to say- im a fan- but why have you dropped your quality control??

  • Dont buy asus anymore.moat of their product have a problem with gps.never buy this product again.cheating!!

  • Is this a good phone

  • Is this a good phone

  • I want to buy this phone. Did I make the right decision? Please help me.

  • Have you check you available free space?

  • Have you check you available free space?

  • Not recommended for playing pokemon go. GPS position is very unstable in game especially when there are lots of overhead obstructions. My old ZF5 performs much better. Hope this is only a SW issue that is fixable by FW upgrade in the future.

  • nope not at all i can play pokemon go here in the phillipines no problem with GPS

  • No GPS works exactly where you are, its just proximity to your location.

  • Hi guys, I am now choosing between this phone and lenovo a7000 plus.. I heard that lenovo phone plagued with touchscreen issue and this zenfone had problem with gps.. may I know is the gps that bad? Is the gps can't lock even at outdoor?

  • I'm using this phone for a month now. Been using waze and pokemon go for this phone. Works fine up to today. Just bought it last month. Hope it doesn't go crazy on me later on.

  • You can, but the GPS is so crappy that you don't even want to. Suggest to buy a different phone than this. While riding a vehicle, the GPS is so crappy that it won't detect where you are and when it does detect, it's not the exact place.

  • Can I play pokemon go using this phone?

  • PROS - LONG lasting phone - Fast charging - Decent specs for everyday use - Value and build quality - No Heating. CONS - BROKEN GPS (still no fix even after update AUG 16/ 2016. GPS works only if WIFI.) Whats the point of a standalone GPS if it doesnt work. - BAD Camera. not that bad but below average quality.

  • Does this fone overheat on hd gaming? How long does the battery last?

  • No GPS problem?

  • is the GPS problem solved?

  • No

  • Why is it the camera resolution setting show 1.4M and 2M. It should be 8Mp @ 13Mp as per shown spec.

  • Hi frends, can anybody tell me, does the back button gets pressed when mobile kept on backside ?(usually mobiles are kept on basckside)

  • hi guys i just wanna ask if i can use ZenFone Selfie (ZD551KL) case for this phone? i cant seem to find good case for this phone maybe bec it was just recenty released? thanks!

  • How can I improve the battery back up?

  • The seller told me not to update the system because it might still unstable... Just wait a little longer... Ask the people who you do trust they have some experience in handling this kind of matters... If it become worse after you update, you will totally regret.. This update does not promise will be better..

  • This is the phone that I am currently using. I am suggesting everyone to use this for I am guarantying you at the price you pay the performance is superb being

  • Yes! Camera is good but not as better than the other expensive phones out there, but with this price you will be contented.. this phone is good with all the heavy games and no lag at all.. overall this phone has a good performance, i have no problem since i bought this zenfone go 5.5 so i love it.. im just sharing my experienced :)

  • Something wrong with GPS. already went to service center, and they said that they required to install back the original ROM , and suspected the official update from ASUS is giving the problem. What a headache , i need to back up all of my stuff , since they required 3 days to settle it..crapp~!

  • i just bought this phone recently..at the moment im using ip6s..i wonder why on earth the phone keep on updating apps/firmware which is a bit annoying compared to ip6s..anyway i like the the performance,style except for the camera ( which im not use to it ). Hope this phone can be my secondary reliable phone. on top of that the price really reasonable ( for me much cheaper than Samsungs').

  • GPS fails to work with any GPS application.

  • can you play YouTube 360 or other VR apps on this phone? thanks in advance. :)

  • GPS problem when trying to navigate with google map

  • Camera sucks but a very good phone... Asus is a brand you can trust... No worries just BUY IT if you don't care about the bad camera. I think after few firmware updates the camera might turn out to be good. Battery will last 12 to 18 hours with heavy gaming. The phone feels very premium. I have been a sony and htc user for a while and the UI is awesome in Asus. #bestbudgetsmartphone2016 - User from SL
