Became the happy owner of the subject. Everything cool. Acquired in the asusmarket for 15k. Doc, as they said, has not yet been delivered to the Russian Federation. But on aliexpress already saw.

Piscometer antutu showed ~ 43,100 rabbits, confidently ahead of S5 (42437) and catching up with HTC one m8t (43287), while assuring me that I am the owner of zenfone 5 LTE (which offends).

LTE, NFC - are available, work.
The battery, with its volumes (2300mahov), sits down slightly faster than we would like, IMHO. The camera pleases. The screen is impressive. Brakes did not notice.

I plan to order a wireless charging, as well as a dock.

Tell us more specifically about the battery, in general, a day is enough? How is the sound in the headphones?

With not very active use (several calls / sms, Internet hour, navigation hour), it will be enough for two days, maybe even a little more. In standby mode, the battery eats very slowly, in my opinion (1-2 (max)% per night).

Headphones are vacuum, the sound is good, clear, not too loud, there is still enough volume (I haven’t yet checked the subway).
It seemed to me that the sound of the external speaker is quiet ... Sometimes IMHO you can not hear the call. And the volume of conversational dynamics even had to be lowered a bit in the supermarket.

Hello! Tell us about screen coverage, is there a protection? Describe the impressions of the camera, with an example of a photo, if there is) is the flash bright? how do you hear when talking, do you hear the other person well?



Rep: (82)
* Nade4ka,
The screen is glass with oleophobic coating, the camera is normal, no worse and no better than other flagships. With audibility everything is OK. The photo was made on the go. The LTE network keeps well (of course when you are in the coverage area), supports our frequencies 2600 and 800Mzh, in contrast to HTC One E8 (no 800Mzh)

Let the gentlemen from LG, Samsung further tales tell that in Android 4.4 Google closed the possibility of transferring prog to a memory card.

* troy78,
Do you have only a phone, or a dock too?

Edit: More: ZenUI is very different from the bare android?
In general, if I want to add AOSP to it, will it be easier to compile from source codes (And do I need to support the docking station with my hands, hehe) or roll back ASUS changes?
