bryan · 12 years ago

just checked it, zf6 2gb ram and 16gb rom is only 9300php sa taiwan, converted na yan from new taiwan dollar, nagpabili nko sa kakilala ko dun

JPSoriano · 12 years ago

pano mo ipapadala sakanya papunta dito? wla additional charge? tpos kelan mo sya mappick up?
aantayin ko muna dito maglaunch.. tpos saka ako magpapabili sakanya dun.

bryan · 12 years ago

kaibigan ko naman yun at evry other 2 weeks e bumabalik sya dito kaya okay

JPSoriano · 12 years ago

tga san ka pre? pde din ba magpabili sakanya??? hehe,,

JPSoriano · 12 years ago

last question,, kelan ang official launch ng zenfones dito sa pinas? june what??

JPSoriano · 12 years ago

global warranty na din ba tong zenfone?

JPSoriano · 12 years ago

kpag ba sa taiwan bumili? mag kakatax paba dito sa pinas o hnd na? ano ang advantage at disadvantage ng pagbili ng phone in other country??

oli · 12 years ago

kapag ikaw mismo bibili, dadaan ka sa customs sa airport pag uwi mo dito sa pinas. nasa sa’yo na yan kung idedeclare mo o hindi. kung ayaw mo ideclare, wag mong iuuwi ng naka box. obvious na sa ibang bansa mo binili kung naka box pa yung phone pag uwi mo. mas ok kung itatapon mo na box, iuwi mo na lang yung mga importanteng laman ng box.

kung bibilhin mo online at ishiship ng courier / shipping company, may tax yan. yung ibabayad mo sa shipper, kasama na tax dun sa total shipping cost.

advantage – karaniwan mas mura lagi sa ibang bansa

disadvantage – hindi lahat ng products global ang warranty. kung bumili ka sa US tapos US warranty lang, kapag nasira yan sa Pinas, mas mahal pang ibalik sa US para maayos.

any news kung anong version ng zenfone 5 ang dadating sa atin? 1.6ghz or 2.0ghz?

Drakkar · 12 years ago

No info yet. I’ve emailed ASUS ph – no reply yet. I’ve inquired via their FB page – no reply yet.

Gusto ko rin sana maconfirm kng ang Zonefone 5 ay may 2GB RAM option gaya ng Zenfone 6.

bryan · 12 years ago

@drakkar

ang zenfone 5 may 5gb ram/16gb rom version na available sa taiwan, at pumapatak lng pag converted from NTD to php ay 6500. mababa kasi tax nila

bryan · 12 years ago

*****ang zenfone 5 may 2gb ram/16gb rom version na available sa taiwan,

RaM · 12 years ago

Yung 5 and 6, display size lang difference.

abuzalzal · 12 years ago

Intel? Haha

avoid avoid

liban na lang kung gusto niyong mag prito ng itlog sa likuran phone niyo

they still havent solved their overheating woes. Hilaw pa sila sa SoC business.

ram · 12 years ago

Unless you can afford a mobilephone size fan and be a laughing stock of everyone xD dont forget the laptop dilemmas malakas tlga uminit ang intel, even the lenovo that housed tue intel SoC ay malakas maginit

Blue · 12 years ago

I can’t believe they’re making available a product almost half a year after announcing – smartphone to ha.

MrPhabletBulacan · 12 years ago

Good, im eagerly awaiting Zenfone 6, sana around 10k lang presyo nya dito sa pinas ^_^

Meron din ako tip sa inyo sir Abe, aside from china brand mediatek phones mukhang itong Acer Iconia Tab 7 ang unang Mediatek phone (albeit 7 inches) na Android 4.4.2 Kitat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtwJJujJ998
even if gsmarena havent posted the soc brand. Mobilegeeks clearly stated that its a mediatek device, probably MT6582…. this will do battle with Asus Fonepad 7 which only has 4.2.2 Jelly Bean yet almost identical specs.

engrfrog · 12 years ago

at last.. hehe.
sana lng no price bump

wenks · 12 years ago

sana d ganun kamahal pag dating sa pinas mis kim… kim store.com.ph please bring this beautiful device for us hehehe

Drakkar · 12 years ago

These devices are ideal for budget-concern consumers. And when its a budget phone, expect some cutting of corners in one way or another.

Moving that aside, gusto ko masubukan itong model na ito (Zenfone 5) para malaman ang kapasidad ng Intel Processor para sa mobile devices. Isa rin sa gusto ko malaman ay ang quality ng camera output lalo na sa low-light conditions (tapos ma-shi-shrink siya 4x lower in size… ata).

June is just around the corner. :)

Ged · 12 years ago

nung i-announce itong zenfone na ito gustong gusto ko to, talagang hinihintay ko ma release dito sa ph kaso sa sobrang tagal bago marelease may mga nagsulputan ng mga mas decent specs at affordable price.

Jp · 12 years ago

Too late!

MrPhabletBulacan · 12 years ago

too late for what? the zenfone lineup are budget phones, similar/slightly better performance to other midrange brands (ex T2 Ultra/Grand 2) yet it even beats most phones in the camera the department. zenfone lineup is also budget friendly almost nearing the prices of absurd quality local brands yet this is a trusted brand. Gaming wise this runs most games smoothly too…
