[amit199013]

hi everyone,
i am looking a mobile in the above budget, just saw, flipkart is selling zen phone 5 at 8k. is this a good option? budget can b extended to 10k for better camera and display.
regards, amit.

haven't used it, but from what i am reading on another forum, zenphone 5 and moto g (2014) in android are said to be the better options in this budget. the low-battery issue of zenphone 5 is said to have been resolved after the recent update.
zenphone 2 is slated for release this April, so if you can wait till that time, it would be good if you could invest in that.

It's great! I saw a client s zenphone5, and it has a solid feel, great build quality. Extreme value for money. Just go for it!

There are changes spec wise, the lower retail version features a Intel Z2520 Processor while the higher or the initially launched Zenfone 5 features a Intel Z2560 processor!

[Kilroyquasar]

was going to write about that. read some (generally positive) feedback on it.

 

[amit199013]

yep only if i am able to grab one of that flash sale thing.
plus point of yu over zenfone 5.
*better processor n graphics, better camera, better os and developer support.

[Kilroyquasar]

It's a new seller (read risky) and the last time I tried buying a FK exclusive phone from eBay seller it was a refurbished phone, be careful.

 

[amit199013]

i have got the phone yesterday, flipkart is fast.
inital impressions are good. good looking phone solid built. good performance.

 

[singenaadam]

Congrats! Forget everything about deals, what you have missed etc etc.... and enjoy your phone!!!

 

[amit199013]

Bought one myself and received it yesterday. Seems like a good phone. Excellent value for money as far as the specs go. Did not even bother with YU. The flash sale thing is a scam IMO (or maybe its a case of sour grapes ).
