    How are the 15 original chosen members and 15 contest winners liking their Zens?

    I'm loving my ZF2 with one exception which I'll touch upon at the end. Screen is nice. It seems somewhat dim in full summer summer daylight, but anywhere else its fine. Things have improved since I installed a glass screen protector. The plastic one I'd used originally reflected light a lot...

    Dual SIM color

    The 2.18 update changed the SIM1 color to green, so if it seems like it changed at some point that's because it did.

    Larger than 64G microSDHCcard? USB Host (OTG)

    If you mean > 64GB microSD in the microSD slot, then yet. I'm using a 128GB card in my ZF2 and it works fine and I know I've seen others in this and other forums doing the same.

    Zenfone 2 - the good, the bad, and the...

    I've been working on my review as well, but want to spend a weekend with the phone in single SIM mode to see how I feel about battery life without keeping two radios online. I have noticed a few bugs myself, the most serious of which is notification audio not playing when I'm streaming audio to...

    How to enable 2g data on 2nd SIM ?

    I was confused by this as well. I'm not sure why they said "2G" rather than voice/text only. Asus confirmed to me in another message that no data ability exists all. The big impact from this, for me at least, is that I can't receive or send MMS messages from SIM 2.

    Quick Charging First Impression

    How long did you leave it plugged in for? I've noticed it seems to take a little bit to decide. It also takes a few seconds to go from "USB charging" to "AC Charging" to "Fast Charging". (Those terms may not be correct, I'm going off memory)

    Back cover needs its own thread

    I didn't have any issue with the back cover either. My flip cover (which replaced the rear cover when you install it) is a little firmer, but not annoyingly so. It's slightly more difficult than my 1st gen Moto G.

    The Flip Case - First impressions

    I kind of disregarded the flip case initially due to some of the feedback I'd seen, but I decided to throw it on this morning just to see how I liked it. I actually like it quite a bit. The big surprise to me was that there is clear plastic over the "window". I swear I saw a video where this was...

    The Dual SIM Experience

    I just received my 4GB/64GB review model from ASUS yesterday as part of winning the video contest here. A big reason why I was picked, I believe, was that I was previously carrying around three phones: a work phone, a personal phone, and an Android phone I used as a media player. I thought I'd...

    Quick Charging First Impression

    My first impression was that it doesn't work! Then I reseated both the cable ends and it worked amazingly well. I won't use it every day, but the AC charger will live in my work bag and I have a car charger in the mail. It will be really nice to have the option to quick charge.

    Zenfone 2 US pricing and availability (available now!)

    Re: Zenfone 2 US pricing and availability announced I'm a bit disappointed that it's still on 5.0. I figured the delay for the US version was probably to release it with 5.1.

    Congratulations contest winners!!

    This wait is killing me.

    Congratulations contest winners!!

    I suspect that if they were going to let us choose the color we'd have already been asked. I'd love the red one, but I'm sure we'll get something more generic like Black. Yea, my thought is basically, "Why would google need to approve an image for a product that's been shipping for months?"...

    Congratulations contest winners!!

    I'm consoling myself with the idea that the language used in the last update made me suspect that the US devices might be getting 5.1 out of the box..

    anyone have the zenfone 2 for over a week what is your impression of it ?

    I believe the ZE550ML has quick charge capabilities, but it doesn't come with a charger. If you bought a quick charge charger (I believe Quick Charge 2.0 chargers are compatible) you should be able to get that feature.
