With the game changing for below 10k smartphones in India, Asus made a quite significant impact with the Zenfone 5 in this segment. There are Zenfone 4 in the sub 7k segment and Zenfone 6 in the above 15k segment but the Zenfone 5 is perfectly suited for...

Large, decent quality display punches well above its weight. Good performance from the Intel components. Fantastic value for a 5inch, dualSIM handset.
Mediocre camera in most conditions. Subpar battery life. Minor issues with the stockstandard smartphone design.
Many of the aspects of the Zenfone 5’s software are identical to what was seen on the Asus MeMO Pad 7 , just scaled down for the smaller display. That’s because both devices use Asus’ ZenUI atop Android, although the Zenfone 5 is still stuck on Android 4....
Stylish looks, Smooth performance, Lovely display, Featureloaded and capable snapper, Freshlooking UI with tons of useful features, Host of handy apps
The design's mainstay, the concentric circle pattern, is prone to scratches, Average battery life

A nice design and build quality, Very good performance except for gaming, Good screen, Fingerprint and scratch resistance, Well done Custom ROM, A low price tag
Below average reception quality, Bad battery life, Bad camera(s), Maybe for some a lack of accessories that come with the phone
Now that's the end of this review already. Time to collect all pros and cons and build a solid tower of conclusion out of it. So lets quickly list them! Pros A nice design and build quality Very good performance except for gaming Good screen Fing...
7.0 The Zenfone 5 has a lot of great qualities from hardware to software but the laggy performance will be hard to overcome. So unless ASUS addresses it with a software update, I would hold off on making a purchase for now....
