So, even though their Twitter account says that they have not received any update about the 4GB version, this link states that it is available with WS Retail.

Also, tentative release date 13th May? Wtf? As if waiting this long wasn't already enough. Has Asus given a concrete release date yet?
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
And where is the 64GB version which was also announced. FK at its best at screwing up the things.
[ZenFone 2 General] cyberboy_sj:
Fk says it won't delivery the product in my location... Disappointed :(
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
It's surprising to know that Flipkart doesn't ship to major city like Patna.
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
WTF now FK has added offers with the listing. And the 4GB version listing has been taken down.
[ZenFone 2 General] cyberboy_sj:
Yes bro.. I was waiting for zenfone 2 since six months... Not only flipkart.. Even Amazon doesn't ship one plus one here :(
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
To all the people who have ordered without offer either make a fresh order or contact FK regarding freebies.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Wooohooo 128 GB ROm 4GB RAM version on its way. No pricing confirmed yet

http://www.flipkart.com/asus-zenfone-2-ze551ml/p/itme6pvujxsjr4mf

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

And 64GB version too

http://www.flipkart.com/asus-zenfone-2-ze551ml/p/itme6pvuvfsxu5wb
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Without offer? I ordered when the offers were there on the prebook page. Do you get any confirmation mail for offer?
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
You can check the my order section should mention Offer: 4 . If not order again. I had to make a fresh order.
[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
So it's 20,000 INR for the 4 GB/2.3 Ghz model. Excellent pricing.

If only I was sure of the Zenfone 2 vs the OnePlus One. OPO camera and battery life seem surely superior, while ZF2 has the slight upper hand in performance.
[ZenFone 2 General] AnilLonely:
Yes.its a pre-order.I am lucky enough to book one.I have taken 2.3ghz with 4gb RAM and 32GB internal.

Tentative date of delivery is given as 16-MAY-2015.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Oh, there's difference in delivery date depending on the model. It's 8/5 for 550.
[ZenFone 2 General] Aceofzeroz:
Hi there my brethren from India, I was just passing by to see how the release went for you all.:) It seems Flipkart was in a quite a bit of confusion before officially making the Zenfone 2 available for purchase, and I don't understand why they wouldn't ship to some places there... :confused:

I'm mainly making a remark about the Zenfone 2 vs OPO, and something critical everyone has been overlooking - the OPO comes with a CM custom rom which you know is more optimized than stock roms. Also, android 5.0 is notorious for having a memory leak and there's the Asus bloatware that can be dealt with via rooting.:thumbup:

So let me assure all of you still in doubt about this that when we can have our own custom roms like CM12.x and other aosp roms, it will be a MUCH better device to have.;):cool:

[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
Honestly, my main problem with the ZF2 is the camera, at this point. The 'watercolour' effect and lack of detail seems to be a very common complaint, in reviews and comparisons.

Then there's also the reportedly poor battery life of the 2.3 GHz/4 GB model. Maybe updates will significantly improve this. Maybe not.

The only downside the OPO has against the ZF2 is its age. It's a year old, and therefore it's 'hard' specs - the S801 CPU and 3 GB RAM set, are slightly inferior to the Zenfone's. Then again, I don't think 3 GB is a significant disadvantage at all. All flagships so far top out at 3 GB, except the ZF2.
[ZenFone 2 General] saggiboy231:
Hello All,

I am planning to go for the Zenfone 2, but im a big fan of cyanogenmod ROM's. Would there be any available for this device?
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
does anyone have any idea how much 128gb version will cost?? There has been no reports of pricing regarding 128gb version and no website has specified anything about 128gb version...Anyone have any idea when it will release and at what price will it be sold in Indian markets...
[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
There is no 128 GB version of the Zenfone 2.
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
There is a 128gb version. Refer my previous post in this thread.
[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
The Flipkart link? That is most likely a typo/data entry error. Asus has, at no point through any official channel, mentioned a 128 GB version. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it's more likely that it's a typo.

There is no other mention anywhere online of a 128 GB ROM Zenfone 2, from any other source other than Flipkart's page.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I was myself confused because no other websites have mentioned 128GB model but i saw a link to one on flipkart...Its weird flipkart has now taken down the link from asus mobiles page but i still have it in my wishlist...You can still visit the page and see the product...

Here is the link to the 128GB model on flipkart: http://www.flipkart.com/asus-zenfone-2-ze551ml/p/itme6pvujxsjr4mf?pid=MOBE6PVURXTRHH7N
[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
Yes, I can see that page exists. What I'm saying is that it is likely that this is a typo, because Asus has never, at any point, mentioned a 128 GB ROM version.
[ZenFone 2 General] hapticc:
What S801 is anytime better than Intel Quad Core.... Although it is old.... But sometimes old is gold...... Anyways Intel seems to have a capable candidate but its effect on battery can be seen..... BTW it is just my opinion..... I already sold my OPO due to bad display colors ... :P
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I know thats what makes it more confusing...We can see different model id for them...

Model Id for AS ZF2 with 4GB ram, 2.3Ghz and 32GB internal memory is

ZE551ML-6J333WW

Model Id for AS ZF2 with 4GB ram, 2.3Ghz and 128GB internal memory is

ZE551ML-6JWW

i searched the entire net for 128GB variant but there was no mention of it anywhere idk how flipkart got this..

UPDATE:

i googled asus zenfone 2 128gb and found some websites in which it was mentioned Asus Zenfone Zoom will have 128gb...I think Flipkart has been into some confusion...I think Asus Zenfone 2 has internal memory upto 64 GB max..

sources: http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/asus-zenfone-2-with-4gb-ram-zenfone-zoom-with-optical-zoom-launched-at-ces-644638

http://www.gsmarena.com/ces_2015_asus-review-1189.php
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
Few days back 128GB was mentioned on the asus india website itself. But now when i have checked its gone. :(
[ZenFone 2 General] girishb:
Out of stock already? If I had to guess, I would say Flipkart is playing it safe by closing pre-orders so soon.
[ZenFone 2 General] tosh_mine1:
Flipkart has f*cked up many times while giving details about the phone. E.g. it gave z550ML 1080p display. 128 gb version is coming for Asus Zenphone zoom and not asus zenphone 2.
[ZenFone 2 General] AnilLonely:
As said earlier the mobile is announced at 2pm. but there is no information regarding price of Mobile in Flipkart till 2.40PM. This made me feel really bad about Flipkart. Finally at 3.30PM approx i was able to book one. I can see that the mobile was open for sale till 24th Morning. Post which it was out of stock.
[ZenFone 2 General] mihir2035:
Confusing Colors

Why black color is not available for the top of the line model? The top of the line model itself ain't available on flipkart.

Asus showcased the phone in January 2015 and Indian users will have to wait 5 months to get our hands on this one!

Phone is already 5 months old for us. :confused:
[ZenFone 2 General] sanjeevopeth:
Poor Camera reviews

GSMArena has dubbed the camera as average. The same sentiment is carried across other reviews i have come across. Any guesses that this might get sorted out in upcoming updates? That's the only thing which made me pause while pre-ordering it on 23rd.

PS: Non availability of black color (4GB variant) being the other
[ZenFone 2 General] DanielKennethRego:
Same here. While the still camera performs fairly well (when not 100% zoomed in, which is unrealistic everyday usage in the first place), the colour balance and overall realism is better than the OnePlus One, for example, according to GSMArena's camera compare tool. When zoomed in 100%, the 'watercolour effect' becomes evident on the details, but like I said, zooming in 100% on 13 MP images is not really how one consumes such media.

The video recording quality really upset me though, in GSMArena's review. Now that was genuinely subpar. 'Like upscaled 480p', in their words.
[ZenFone 2 General] sanjeevopeth:
True. So what other alternatives do we have? I wouldn't wind mind spending extra on the Mi Note Pro but it's still not available :confused:

I am now wondering how will they sell the Zoom version. Truth to be told I was eying that for a long time. If the camera reviews are bad for this phone then how will they manage to sell the zoom version.
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
I have some bad news for the people who have ordered 4GB version of the phone from FK. Delivery date has been pushed back by 11 days to 30th May 2015. Just received an email from FK
[ZenFone 2 General] blazzer12:
:(:(:(

Flipkart has bitten more than it can chew.

Maybe they should have left the chance for someone more well versed in the a to z's of online retail! ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:
spoke to asus showroom in bangalore, they will have the phone in stock in 1st week of may, most probably the 2 gig version. Will go and play with the demo unit and then if i like it will leave a pre order for 4 gig version. I really want the red color, let me see if i can convince the showroom to give me atleast a red cover free ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] blazzer12:
zenfone 2 import data

https://www.zauba.com/import-ZE551ML-hs-code.html

It seems more than 18000+ units are imported but can't be sure since the second page can't be viewed (paywall).
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:
checked with Asus Showroom, 2 GB version available from 6th may, 4 GB will reach only by last week of May or 1st week June. Too Late.
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
Pricing for 64GB is 22999 and 128 GB is 29999 revealed on Fk
[ZenFone 2 General] sameerm02:
Hey Ace, Its good to have you here :good:

We will surely appreciate your help in development of this device just like our old Moto Atrix 2 :highfive:

I am also just passing by, I already have G2 and OPO, still not in mood to buy zenfone 2.

But I'll wait for more reviews then possibly I may replace my OPO with zf2
[ZenFone 2 General] Aceofzeroz:
Hey Sam, glad to see you passing through here haha! :D:p I definitely plan to lend a hand with development when we get to unlock the bootloader (provided by Asus) and get the device tree source up and running.;)

For now I'm just mainly observing the steady progress all around this forum since I don't physically have the device as yet. I already bought it and my brother is holding it in Florida until a friend can carry it for me.:)

So I'd say if our software updates continue to fix our current bugs and development takes off well enough, then you could maybe consider getting a Zf2. Until then, I'll be around and thanks again for dropping by!:cool:

I have pre-order 4GB ram ZP2. tentatively delivery date is 16 May. Lets see how is the phone.

There are Great reviews wting Hardware but with Camera, there are average reviews.
[ZenFone 2 General] sanjeevopeth:
I noticed that the Hardware is just above or matching the Xiamomi Mi 4 and OnePlus One range of phones. I was hoping this would be somewhere in the top bracket.
[ZenFone 2 General] blazzer12:
When do you think will be the actual delivery? Sooner? I am also give the same date.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
For which model?

For 550, it's showing tentative delivery date as 8th May.
[ZenFone 2 General] kingsrook14:
I was about to book the 4 GB one till I saw the delivery dates.

I am going to wait for Huawei P8 [emoji4]
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Whoa!!
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:
it's OOS in FK, where are you getting the option to order, also what is the delivery date?
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
OOS? What is it.

I ordered it on 23 Apr. And the delivery date is tentative. See the image.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Flipkart removed the black 550 version from listing. I think, that's the reason for the tentative date to be 1 Jan 1970.
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:
OOS - Out of stock.

My question was to kingsrook14
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Oh, Sorry.

Received 2gb Version

Hi,

I had ordered for ZE551ML 2GB Version and received it on saturday!! Its awesome..

Some minor problems are there like some of the apps are not working, especially for me UcBrowser... :crying:

Anyway I'm loving this Phone....
[ZenFone 2 General] kingsrook14:
Was talking about on the 23rd April
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:

[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
anyone have any idea when will it arrive on Flipkart... 4GB ram 64gb internal memory.... its written coming soon... when? After release in US??
[ZenFone 2 General] blazzer12:
ZE551ML. They gave tentative delivery date as 15-may. So is the actual delivery sooner or later? What do you think?
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I dont get any tentative date for ZE551ML....only thing i get in FK is coming soon....how did u guys pre order it??
[ZenFone 2 General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Tentative date was given when it was up for Pre-order.
[ZenFone 2 General] Suhas_JS:
I don't think it is the case with everyone who's ordered the 4 gigs version. Mine still says delivery on 15th May and I haven't got any mail from FK as such (touch-wood). Also one guy has already received the 4 gigs version from FK. I had also called FK and they said might receive it earlier as well. 15th is fixed if not earlier.

No. Did your release date changed?
[ZenFone 2 General] arjha9:
Error msg is there about release. I have talked customer care..they say it will be delivered by the date mentioned

ordered mine today! the 2gb version. Hello to all fellow users! Had a tough descison between Ebay LG G2 D800 w/o warranty and Asus ZF2 [MENTION=2663538]14999[/MENTION] w/ warranty. Went for the Asus for the sake of future updates.

Hope the Asus doesn't leave out memory management cuz its releasing a 4gb version. Or I am screwed! heh

As of now, an excited future Asus ZF2 user!
[ZenFone 2 General] amankapoor4:
ordered the 64 gig version, should come in tomorrow. Upgrading from G2, just a little skeptical about the camera. Other thing i will miss is the IR blaster, other then that looks like an upgrade in every aspect.

Does it have active noise cancellation?

It's a must in our noisy environment for me.

BTW for those who are talking about not enough free RAM, it's not a windows system.

In android or linux free RAM is wasted RAM. Don't bother about free RAM unless you get crashes or such.

Did it come with earphones? Is it the WW variant or TW ? What OS version did u get?

Also bought the 4gig 64 gig version... No earphone included.....18W adapted included... It actually charges really fast!! i got WW variant with Z00A-2.13.20150401...

Why?? Isn't WW supposed to be worldwide....
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
http://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/specifications/

Check for yourself. WW version do not support band 40
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
According to the website,

I think operators will take some time to acquire/start LTE bands in India... There are some places where 3G doesn't even work well :laugh: :p 4G is long way to go...

Source: http://gadgetstouse.com/gadget-tech/all-about-4g-lte-in-india/26238
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
Its not about operator is rolling out or not.

RJio will be using both Band 3 and Band 40. Flipkart website says both the bands will be supported by the phone. But since WW version do not support Band 40 so Flipkart is misleading us.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
yeah FK people are lilttle f***ed up.... I think their might be some confusion with FK guys... It will be better if we contact them and confirm it...
