DUAL CORE!!

By them swapping out the quad for the dual, does that mean better battery life?

I would think so, the S4 is a beast and is very energy efficient.

Why so upset with dual core? The S4 is very fast. Performance wise, I bet they are neck in neck. The only downside I can think of is the GPU is better in the quad core. I will gladly take the S4 with the extra 1gb of ram.

This thread was started a while ago. It was moved here by the mod. It doesn't belong here, as I explained to him, because this is the I747 model.
I have gotten him to look into opening a thread for the AT&T SGS III and said he would get the approval.

i would love to see a source for where GSMarena got the date.

June 13 is not a while ago. The mod should have just closed it since we already have tons of threads like this one and you should have noticed that.

Closed, we have a AT&T SGS3 thread right here

Asus Zenfone 2 [Indian Users] [Chatting,Discussion,Availabilty,Pricing,Etc]

Title says it all, still waiting for release..

Asus Zenfone 2 availability in India
The Asus Zenfone 2 smartphone (4GB RAM variant) to be launched in India on 13 April and expected to be priced around 20,000 INR which puts it head on against Oneplus One and Mi4 . Interesting to see how Asus plans to tackle these well received phones
Hope pricing will be right ...

Same here. I was going to buy the OPO but decided to wait for the Zenfone 2 since the specs are simply mind-blowing.
Although, it seems we have to wait until the end of April for it to launch now. Considering the demand, I'd be surprised if I manage to get hold of it before May.

Earlier they said they will launch it by march end..Then came news that on 13th April. Now by April's end, if they postpone it further I will be buying a different phone..

And which phone would that be then?
Yu and MI4 has a heating issue
OPO is 32bit
Desire 820 .. i dont knw.. leave me wanting for little more
Honor 6 plus is way too costly for a chinnese phone.
So be a little patient and choose this. Today we need 2GB RAM for android, next year we would need minimum 3GB...

The way I see it, the Zenfone 2 (2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM variant) is a direct competitor to the OnePlus One in specs - and beats it.
I don't see how the OpO having 32 bit hardware is an issue. Is there any tangible benefit to the 64 bit hardware on the ZF2? The OS is 32 bit, after all.

From what I have read Lollipop will leverage a 64bit OSB better. And market pushing for 64bit from now on means... upcoming games and OS both will move in this direction only. So a 32bit is definitely a generation behind although performance at par for the time being only.
EDIT:
If Asus hadn't postponed then upcoming Sunday would have been the day for getting our pockets loose.... but for now..
We wait !!

I'm more into OPO only for one reason i.e. great dev support. But Zenfone 2 excels in every other department. CONFUSED

So it's launching on the 23rd of April over here. I really want to go for the top end model but all the talk about battery drain issues is putting me off.
Now I'm not sure if I should buy it straight away at launch or wait for a few reviews first.

I'm confused with the phone models I want to know whether the 4gb ram version with 32gb rom has 2.3Ghz or 1.8Ghz in India

Asus Zenfone 2 coming soon on Flipkart
Guys!!! Asus Zenfone 2 coming soon on Flipkart.... Countdown has begun

m eagerly waiting, what do u guys think of price
i think 4gb model will be under 20k

Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE550ML , 2GB ram) on Ebay.in
I found Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE550ML , 2GB ram) on Ebay.in at Rs 16,500
As for the price, I think higher end model (ZE551ML) will be at around 20k... I read somewhere on net it would be around 25k but as promotional offer it would be priced at 20k...So as of now there is a lot of confusion regarding the price of the phone...

Moto x play or asus zenfone 2?

As the title says, what do you prefer? I've to buy a new device but I don't know what to choose

have you seen zen phone UI ???
before buying I was also wondering the same as its cheaper, one look at the UI and I ditched the idea. otherwise it has good specs for a mid ranger.

Yes, but I don't like it so much so i think that If I'll buy the zenfone2 I'll turn into cyanogenmod

Battery life not as good as the x play.

I hate power buttons put on the top edge of large phones. A major nusance with the current Zenfones. Also, does the Zenfone offer Bluetooth aptX like all Motos do? Because no Intel powerded device currently supports that, AFAIK.

Moto X have better camera yes? Its a huge diffrence?

I traded my play with zenfone 2, zf2 is way ahead. I would say the play is a Tercel while zf2 is a Supra

As a moto x play user, I can proudly say it's a great device. Every animation is smooth as it should be.
Yes on lollipop the performance wasn't smooth but after the major 6.0 update, everything is great.
Now don't expect it to be a powerhouse.?

I am using Xplay for 2 months now and I am very happy with the performance, no other trusted OEM provides this much specs at this price range. Otherwise you could go for one plus one/two/X those are nice.

If there is any asus zenfone 2 user, please tell me about battery backup and performance of the phone. (I'm thinking about buying asus-zenfone 2.3ghz with 4gb ram). I'm worrying about battery backup.

zenfone 2 have performance (2.3ghz, 4gb) but lack of battery and moto x play with superb battery but performance is
low(only 2 gb ram[emoji43] ).
but price of both approximately same.

If you don't play heavy games or do lots of multitasking then x play is good enough, I can assure you that the performance is not low. btw, how many phones out there already running on marshmallow?

It has slight hardware improvement over the regular Axon 7.
SD821, better camera, more storage etc. Could have been an Axon 8 It was supposedly for Chinese use, Government I think.
Shame we probably won't see an Axon 9

I do think the speaker grills on the 7S look considerably better. And it would be nice to see some samples from the camera. I bet there's not many here in the UK, probably less than a handful which makes it super-rare and exclusive!

Sadly it's rare and unsupported. No late updates or development, just out of date Chinese ROM.

Need browser set to desktop to see the full images. Interestingly in the comments translated by Google, a few people say the hifi chip isn't on it and the difference is there's a security chip. Some kind of hardware encryption for the government built purpose? One comment says it lacks UFS too. They say it's expensive too. If all those things are missing it definitely sounds security purpose built, dropping consumer features.

Hi,
yes indeed (new option 2k / 1080p).. but I thought you guys already knew that? about the long awaited v7.2A there is almost nothing news on it.. Meizu is as good as dead if we compare his fw support & developments in comparison with other Chinese foon devices.. really pity.
I am going to sell it and instead of buying Mi7pro.

Hi,
A lot...
x8 from meizu you say.. Really?
for the learned among us, never buy a meizu foon once again in your entire life,
I had already made that "stupid" mistake in 2017 and meanwhile I learned already a lot from that mistake!
meizu is just a scam company, they don't make or let no custom rom run on it and also they given the opportunity not even to the guys to let them make one custom rom for such a good (same as s7) foon..
them fw update support is zero,zero.. their goal is give us your money and run far away and never expected any real fw support from us for the phone you just bought it from us back.. we're just scammers under the name Meizu.
If.. and only if, if I'm gonna be crazy I would buy some foon from them (meizu) again but that will be in the years 3333!
Ps: I really hoped that I would receive a decent fw support from them as usually for at least 5 years, that's why I sold my old note4 in 2017, I am not such a guy who buys a new phone every month / year!

Something you said are true by the way. But i think flyme os is the main reason behind your views. The hardware they provide is so good enough and strong when compared to other phones in market. Yeah x8 from meizu is now cost same as p6p.But for me i can't buy it since here in India duty comes 41.2% of product actual price.

Hi,
believe me bih.. kaise haal... theek hai? yah.. i'm from the time before Sangam.. the real and only legend R-Kapoor = Her dil jo pyar karega, dost-dost + Joker, (no.. no, i'm not from ind..!) I never wrote anything out of my thumb, I had and have seen and seen a lot, the phone itself is very good (super sharp display and fast too!) but that fw fly -far away from- me! is worthless really nothing useful in it, men had to install google by himself again and again and the language too (if you use the A version) with help of that language apk, while other chinese phones are standard with google submitted, all in all, I'm not going to buy meizu again.. meizu is too much hassle for me.
