Asus Zenfone Zoom Unlocked Smart Phone, 5.5" Black, 64GB Storage 4GB RAM, US Warranty

Pros: Phone works smoothly for price. Value to price ratio is excellent. Camera is good for price.

Cons: 2 defects in 6 months. First defect was after 3 months - would no longer power on. Second defect was after 5 months - no longer reads SIM card. ASUS does not pay for warranty shipping. Each time cost $15.00. Total of $30.00 shipping. ASUS customer support both times were very poor. They really didn't care about my inconvenience. They were very quick to state that I should be appreciative that they have a 1 year warranty. I asked if they provide any goodwill for such an inconvenience. They said "No way!". They stated 1 year is plenty.

Overall Review: If you buy this phone, make sure to buy the Newegg extended warranty. I didn't buy it and it's a huge regret. I have never had to send in a phone for warranty repairs in the last 30 years, so I figured I would not need a warranty. Never bought one in the past, so I probably don't need to now. Newegg warranty is so far excellent on all my other products, such as PC components. You ship it back to them; they pay for shipping; then they send you an email gift card. Simple! Don't rely on ASUS! They don't care about your loyalty. In fact, I will from now on stop buying ASUS computer components and laptops.

Pros: there is no pros, since I can not use this phone

Cons: Battery runs very fast, after 4 hours it dies , I would like to return it I only have this phone for about 1month

Pros: -Has 64 GB of space, with the ability to add another 64GB of storage. -Handles all the apps I need. -Bright, crisp screen -Has a permanent navigation buttons (won't be a pro for everybody, but it is for me) -For the price, it's quite powerful

Cons: -It's marketed as having a great camera, with the best optical zoom in mobile. That part may be true, but the quality of the camera itself is subpar, and takes grainy pictures when compared to higher-end phones like an S6. -The battery life is pretty skimpy, meaning that if you plan on doing anything other than using it as a phone, you'll want access to a way to charge it on the go.

Pros: The 2, and Zoom, are both good phones, but they just break. I've burnt through Asus phones like women in Vegas and it's been stupid random problems. A raindrop killed one of them... The Zoom SIM card tray was broken and only works on wifi after the 3rd day of purchase and I'm currently trying to return it.

Cons: see above

Overall Review: The Zenfone 2 I had before simply worked better, but it had issues to. Crashes every now and then, which sucks when the battery is fantastic, yet un removable....etc, etc...

Pros: Stats and use of the phone are near exact from the Zenfone 2, only purchased since the previous had a loudspeaker issue and gave to a family member. Zoom worked fine for 2 weeks.

Cons: Was surprised to discover after a couple weeks the camera locks up and is unusable. Will probably end up sending in for repair since this appears to be an issue in batches of these phones.

Overall Review: I'll recommend since this is not a very common issue and is appears to be limited to specific batches.

Pros: Loads of ram, processor power and the HD screen is a beauty... The startup manager leaves my Samsung S7 in the dust! You actually control your phone without the need to root it. ASUS is kicking the competition to the curb with the startup manager and file explorer, with built in hidden cabinet... The phone is totally under your control, unlike the garbage you get from your cell phone provider -loaded with bloatwear and apps you cannot kill.

Cons: Cannot clean the screen as I do with other phones. I work in a medical lab and have to sterilize my phone before leaving work. With most of my phones, an alcohol prep pad is perfect. Not with this one. Even with a screen protector in place, it has dead spots now and I have to repeatedly click on the same spot to click a link and sometimes, I have to rotate the screen because nothing else will work... Really upset, because I love the software and the fact that you can truly kill an app from starting or hogging your resources...

Overall Review: Try liquipel? DO NOT CLEAN THE SCREEN. It is ridiculously sensitive. The screen is a MASSIVE steamy piece of... garbage, to put it nicely...

Pros: Never going back to Samsung.

Cons: None.

Pros: Phone is awesome, very fast and capable of handling several tasks at the same time

Cons: Easy to use and setup and price was unbeatable
