I had this model Asus Zenfone 2 4/64 since Nov/2015, it's been working great since a few weeks ago started dropping signals and showing a message for not net/data availability.

I bought this phone "Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML" on 1st August, From Day 1 I experienced lot of issues with this phone, boot up problem started from Day 1 itself. This phone is becoming unusable day by day :( Currently Camera is not working, On and off button not working, Touch screen not responding,...

i dont know if issues is limited to this particular one i received...my issues are (1) phone dont have side volume buttons (2) when place a call phone black out, so you dont have options of pressing any buttons..

-Installed Android 6.0.1, it wiped out most, if not all of the bloatware. This also improved the auto rotate issue, wasn't a complete fix but I hardly notice if it fails anymore. -Look up rotation control under the app store, there are some good apps that give you complete control of the rotation,...

-Size, I like the big screen, and a clear picture; -The camera is great! I have read bad reviews on it, I'm guessing they didn't try to use the HDR functions; -Expandable, I currently have a 200gb microSD in mine.

-Auto rotate doesn't work all the time; this is a known problem with this phone

The Asus Zenfone 2 fills an interesting niche as an Android phone full of deep customizations, yet one that sells for half the price of similarly sized phablets. Typically, Android tinkerers who want to invest a lot of time into customizing their phone also have to pay full price for a flagship.

At a very affordable $119.99, the price point is definitely the best aspect of the ASUS Zenfone 2E, making this one of the easiest entry points into the world of Android. Not a lot of smartphones feature such a low price tag, and even those that are commonly considered budget-friendly, including the...

-Design is spartan; easy to handle -Replacement back cover (black/white) included -Expandable storage -Battery has potential; but needs power saving modes -Very low price for a smartphone

-Performance can't handle intensive tasks consistently; is pretty uneven overall -Internal storage only 8GB -Only 1GB RAM -Camera is very low quality all around -Software is full of features that doesn't fit amount of RAM -Zen UI feels bloated and cartoonish

When it comes to smartphones, what drives your choices? If looks and materials are important to you, the bulky, plastic-shielded Asus Zenfone 2 won't make your shortlist. But if all the stuff under the hood counts for more points, then the gigantic, hulking shape of the device won't matter to you as...

Snappy and rare high-end Intel processors and plenty of RAM; Handy gestures can launch specific apps from standby; Fully customizable skin; Ultra-cheap, considering what you get; Comes with 5GB of free cloud storage forever, and 100GB of Google Drive storage free for two years

Large bezels, poor choice of materials, and too large of a body; So much plastic! Heavy, hard to work with one hand; Capacitive buttons are not illuminated; Comes with a ton of redundant apps that are a chore to get rid of

This is a great phone the draw on the battery is the android os, when do you ever see that its always the screen. 1080 p, yes on mobile I have proof 100 mbps, never seen a Samsung or iphone do that.

1080p; 100mbps on mobile; faster browsing internet; great phone

Removable battery only con

Can a $300 smartphone stand up with the best Android devices out there from heavyweights like Samsung, LG, and HTC? That's what Asus is trying to answer with the ZenFone 2. It's not alone either - a whole host of smaller smartphone manufacturers are trying the same thing this year.

Appealing low price; Fast; lag-free performance; Asus' software allows deep customization

Disgusting amount of bloatware; Camera falls apart outside of ideal conditions; Generic design with bad button layout

The Zenfone 5 was the most successful device in Asus first wave of smartphones. Little wonder then, Zenfone 2 has big shoes to fill. The new phone comes in three variants, and the one with 4 GB RAM costs more than double the Zenfone 5. Let's find out if Asus has another winner in its line-up.

Ideal for multitasking; Crisp screen; Solid multimedia performance; 4G LTE support

Average camera; Battery life could have been better
