My Say of Asus Zenfone 5
Assalamualaikum... [May Peace be Upon you...]
Few nights before Hari Raya 2014.. I was zapped by my sweetheart... twice!
Already been notified about its problem by the customer service at Samsung, and to repair it - it's expensive for those who do not earn much as I am.
I'm planning to get a high - end smartphone like Samsung Note 3 as I'm not really interested to exchange a phone every now and then... but after what happened.. i just managed to get any phone within the RM600 range (only after 3 months of saving... huhu).
After almost 15mins window shopping and 30mins thinking and a little bit haggling... I finally bought it....
I kind of love the display as this is my first big-screen smartphone... It's an IPS capacitive touchscreen with 16M colours... With 5.0 inches screen (~294 PPI pixel density) actually already bring some smile to my face...
It's my first time knowing about Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and i'm glad to choose this phone with that protection as i'm kind of clumsy at a certain time.. hahaha...
For the sound... it ticks all my boxes... you can personalize the sound and the level of the sound easily...
The memory... ahh... i'm surely grateful... for almost 3 years i'm using 180 MB plus 290 MB RAM... I take revenge by downloading all the apps that I would love to but i cant on this phone! hahahaha!!!
This phone 8 GB, 1 GB RAM plus up to 64GB (microSD)

CAMERA
Primary: 8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash...
The camera is a bit disappointing for me.. the camera works well with the well-lit area (well duh...) Although Asus did say about their feature such as PixelMaster which could capture a nice photo in dark... i'm sooo avoid taking dark photo for now...
The camera speed a bit slow, the focusing seems to be a bit slow and sometimes blankly out-of-focus. Even with Turbo mode - the speed of focusing processing still slow. At least a second plus plus delay for every shot. Even Samsung Galaxy Y captured faster than this phone.
So... use this phone when you're not in hurry...

BATTERY.....
Non-removable Li-Po 2110 mAh battery...
❂ Internet 24/7
Apps : Whatsapp, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter
Games : CSI, Clash of Clans, TopEleven, Hay Day etc - last up to 5 - 4 hours...
❂ Without internet 24/7 [ only online when needed ]
Apps : Whatsapp, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter
Games : Clash of Clans, TopEleven, Hay Day etc - only can last for 6 - 4 hours
❂ Without internet
Apps : Didnt use any media social apps.
Games : playing app [that does not need internet connection] - 7 to 8 hours
The downfall... once the battery left around 10% - you MUST left your Zenfone 5 charging alone or it will shut down by itself - even if you already plugged it in... the power still drops if you still playing a heavy game or even keep on surfing.. and beware using Facebook Messenger (yup, the head popup) can drain your battery so fast!
...and to wait for it fully charged (or even 50%)... takes a long time...
Others...
Timezone cities need to be updated... Limited cities... Even the city i lived in was not on the list...
Alright... that's about it... i hope you all ok with my first-time review entry...
NTGravity: Nothing last forever but i hope this phone will last as long as it can...
