Looking to buy ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking on website for the past days trying to find a ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) when I look at the specifications it says it has a Intel Atom Quad Core Z3560 (1.8 GHz) processor not been able to find the (2.3 GHz) processor anywhere is this a mistake the websites have made?
Does anyone know where to purchase the (2.3 GHz) variant in the UK or dealers who ship to the UK? Also is the 32G device sold with 2.3Ghz
If so is there a real difference between the 2.3Ghz and the 1.8Ghz ??

try darty.com i can see they sell in france, not sure if they are shipping to uk, or do they have stores in UK.

The 2.3 is only in the 64GB version.

Ah I see then I'm guessing most people got them missed up, I was watching many reviews and they said 32GB with the 2.3Ghz, Couple Amazon reviews said they got 32GB with 2.3Ghz

That depends on where it is from. For example, there are both 64 and 32 GB versions with the 2.3 GHz cpu here in Japan.
As for the OP's question regarding whether there is a real difference, I believe the gpu, cpu architecture and base clock of the 3560 and 3580 are identical. The difference is just in the Max boost frequency under load. I doubt there is much notable difference in everyday use - a bit faster for heavy tasks, at the expense of a bit heavier battery drain?

My phone is from ASUS.fr and is 32gb , 4gb ram and 2.3ghz and WW of course.

I am posting this in hopes that it will help others to pick the right model for them. If any of the info is incorrect, let me know. I put this together based on my extensive research prior to purchasing the version I have. Asus really screwed up on this phone with the various confusing versions and even the name of the phone being Zenphone 2.
For example, I have the TW based version and its 2.3ghz with 4 gigs of ram and 32 gig storage.
(ZE551ML) 2.3 ghz with either 32gig or 64 gig and 4 gb of Ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3580, PowerVR G6430) - with a 1080 HD IPS Display (403ppi)
(ZE551ML) 1.8 ghz with 32gig and 2 or 4 gb ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3560, PowerVR G6430) - 1080 HD IPS Display (403ppi)
(ZE550ML) 1.8 ghz with 16gig and 2 gb ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3560, PowerVR G6430) - 1080 HD IPS Display (267ppi)
NOTE that the 2.3 ghz version is the only one compatible with Quick Charge capabilities. The 18W BoostMaster adapter is included with 2.3GHz/4GB ZenFone 2 model only.. Asus states that the phone will quick charge to 60% in no more than 39 minutes.
Here are the different versions available on the market (that I know of)
TW = Taiwan
WW = World Wide
CN/IN = China and India
US = USA
JP = I have not been able to find much info on this as the JP (Japan) version is just starting to show up
These are the LTE Bands from the ASUS website to help make sure you get the correct one for your area/carrier:
4G :
FDD-LTE: (TW)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/900MHz(8)/700MHz(28)
FDD-LTE: (WW)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/800MHz(20)
FDD-LTE: (US)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/700MHz(17)/800MHz(20)
FDD-LTE: (CN/IN)
2100MHz(1)/1800MHz(3)
TDD-LTE: (CN/IN)
2600MHz(38)/1900MHz(39)/1900MHz(40)/1900MHz(41)
Also I have confirmed that the phone can take a 128gb micro SD card even though it says 64gig MicroSD on the Asus web site. I took the 128gig MicroSD card out of my Note 4 and tried it in the Zenphone 2 and it worked perfect!

Don't think that's right, as according to the spec sheet on the Asus site even the ZE550ML (720p with 1.8 GHz processor) supports fast charging with boost master adapter (not included)

I know for a fact that the 1.8 ghz 4 gb of ram ZE551ML version does not support fast charging as I had that unit and had to sell it because of that reason alone. I am not sure about the ZE550ML, can someone that has that unit confirm so I can update my post?
Thanks

If you are in the UK, then you can purchase from the European Amazon sites.
Italian amazon appears to be the cheapest, they have the 32gb 2.3ghz 4gb ram version for EUR345, which comes out under £250 with shipping.
Also, this is sold directly by amazon, so if you have issues you are covered by amazon returns policy.
I bought the phone from there, and it turned up the next day.
Unfortunately it had a fault (see my thread for details) so had to get a replacement. But that was simple enough with the aid of google translate.
If i had imported from China i would not have been happy!
Hopefully my fault was a one off, and the replacement will be a good as i would expect from the specs.

I got mine from eBay but got the 1.8 4Gb ram 32gb version ordered mine on Tuesday 12th may and came 2day

Thanks, looking around I found a couple other cheaper dealers.
NA release tomorrow
Price$199 for Z3560/16GB, $299 for Z3580/64GB
Comes to about £190 seems reasonable

ZE551ML and ZD551KL (Selfie), how do they compare in processor speed?

Hi,
I see we can get the ZE551ML with two Intel variants : Z3560 1.8GHz and Z3580 2.3GHz. I think the cheapest version would have plenty of power for my usage (no games or very simple ones like 2048 ...), I merely like to browse the web when I'm outside (other than use the phone to phone !).
But the ZD551KL gets a Qualcom S615 with 8 cores and slower speed. Does anyone know how it compares to the former?
And about SIM cards, do both of these phones allow to "listen" for incoming calls on both SIMs at the same time? My goal would be to put personal and professionnal phone lines, and I just NEED to get incoming calls from both lines, not enable one at a time ... (don't understand the principle of standby dual sim)
Thanks

If you intend to use both sims, do not get the ZE551ML, Asus used subpar hardware on sim2 and is only capable of 2G with data blocked. 2G is being phased out and is already being shut down. In about a years time you will be left with a single sim phone. It's not only about speed but what hardware they are using. You can have the best processor in the world however if it is connected to subpar and outdated hardware it means nothing.
Also Asus never updated their OS at all, just their firmware. Which is nice they push out updates, but I'm finding their constant updates are to fix the problems they created with the last update.
Find another phone, there are plenty of companies out there offering dual sim with up to date hardware in the same price range.
Hi, thanks for your answer, could you point me some samples ? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything else featuring a Full HD 5,5" screen with 4Gb of RAM with a decent camera and dual sim for EUR 249 ...
Help, Root Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL???
I don't think it's the right place to ask this ...
Just do searches and go through everything. Amazon, Aliexpress. Being in France you're open to a wide range of phones because of your bands over the United States. If you just search Dual Sim 4G LTE 64gb or even 32GB you will see tons come up. You don't really need 64GB as long as you can put a data card in the phone, a 32GB will work just fine as I move apps over to the card to free up space anyway. The Allview X2 looks great, I wish it had our US bands on it.
The allview X2 soul has no NFC, no LTE, only 2Gb RAM, only 5" display, only one SIM, so definitely not suitable. The X2 xtreme is bigger with its 6" display and has plenty of options, but prices almost twice the cost of the ZE551ML I can find locally ...

That is the wrong model. Allview has different models and the one I'm talking about is the X2 Xtreme which does have LTE,NFC and has a 6inch display. Here the price is about same as the zenphone. Since we are in different areas, our prices are going to be different. You need to do a search and you'll find the different models out there.
First of all, to make it clear, the phone you are looking for has to have two modems (this is what makes phone "dual sim active" or "dual sim full active" one), and unfortunatelly Zenfone Selfie doesn't meet that requirement.
On the other hand, it's a fact that ZE551ML does not support data transfer on second SIM slot (which is a bit awkward since Intel XMM 2230 - the second modem, does support EDGE).
In fact there are very little number of models with DSFA and 4G on both SIMs. For now I can think of Lenovo Vibe X2-CU as the affordable one, and maybe Huawei Mate 7 and P8 (but, with those you have to chose whether to use second SIM or SD card).

NGP store USA, has anyone ordered?

So the HTC 10 does have a listing on amazon that comes with a US warranty and is listed as in stock. One of the sellers is NGP store USA. It says get it by May 2-5 with expedited shipping.
On their site they are selling the 10, the GSM bands and everything matches up with HTC.com, but they do offer gold with a white face as one of the color options which isn't an option on HTC site. I tried calling them today but I got a recording saying it was after business hours (even though they're in Seattle and it's 3:30 there). I'm going to ask if it comes with a US warranty and of course if they'll price match HTC.com
Anyway has anybody ordered a HTC 10 from them? Or purchased a past device from them?
For anyone interested,

I don't know anything about them but you do lose the $100 discount so the price is higher despite the other color options.

Where are you seeing this?
This is what I am seeing under the HTC 10:
CPU Chipset: Snapdragon 820
Storage: 32GB, Micro SD slot
RAM: 4GB
Network Band:
2G/2.5G – GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz,
3G UMTS, 850/AWS/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 28, 29, 30
Those are the same LTE bands the HTC 10 has on HTC.com
Either way I wouldn't order before I call and confirm it works with at&t.

I was looking at the information regarding the gold/white version:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-5-2-Inch-Unlocked-International-Warranty/dp/B01EADQ6DC/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1461887566&sr=8-15&keywords=htc+10+phone+unlocked
they are selling for $685, why would anyone buy from them?
Just got an email back from them, it's an Asian model. They assured me it does work with at&t though. It doesn't come with a US warranty and they won't price match HTC with the 100 off discount because they are very aware of the backorder situation HTC is dealing with. They do have it in stock and ships from US though.
I'm passing on it purely because of the warranty situation. For the last year I've owned a phone off warranty that now has hardware failure so I won't be making that mistake again.

For anyone interested,
Bought an unlocked S7 Edge SM-G935FD from NGPstoreusa this week and they sent me a different model SM-G9350 (China; Sanpdragon 820 chipset) while I ordered a Exynnos 8990 chipset. Tried contacting them but their phone always goes to voicemail and their email response takes a day for them to review.
They have such an elaborate automated voice recording but in the end, it will always goes to voicemail. I think they are trying to send me the wrong model thinking I don't know the difference.
I can't trust this online store.

Nubia z11 Band 20 support

Hi guys
On GSMarena, the Nubia z11 has LTE Band 20 listed in the specs. When I want to buy the phone however, most websites do not list band 20. There seems to be an international version and a normal version.
Can somebody confirm this? Or is there no difference between the versions and can I just go for the cheapest reseller.
Additionally, is there anybody who has spotted the coffee gold version in the wild? I can't find any real-life pictures so I am really hesitant to buy it since I don't want to end up with a phone that is basically pink.
Yes there's an international version with band 20, and other for china I think without band 20.
After some research I can confirm your claim. There is indeed an international version with band 20. The colours of the international version however, seem to be limited to silver and grey so no coffee gold or black gold.

Thanks Mate but I already ordered and have it here in use ! The initial cost was ~600 € but I ordered it when eBay had this voucher from paypal to get 15% discount which saved almost 100 bucks so it was ok for me. And i defenitely wanted the Black/Gold version.
I really hope Nubia gets this Phone out in more countries and sells more units so the public interest in having ROMs is bigger and something happens here
I don't how the update policies and behavior od NUBIA but I guess it is rather bad as for my experience with chinese manufacturers (except HUAWEI as a positive example).
Looking on the highend hardware this phone has...it still is a tiny bit laggy on some occasions...but this is moaning on a high level

FYI for this thread: I just looked it up on the Tech Specs from nubia.com where it say: FDD LTE B1/3/5/7/8/20 .
@paomaz: I have Telekom SIM and they use B20 with 800Mhz in Cities. So yes to your question.
Maybe a stupid question but, since there is an international version, do you guys think it would be possible to flash the radio etc. from the international version on the versions without band 20 support?
I have a China version of Nubia Z11 white/grey. Unfortunatelly i did not know that Nubia has a chinese version. In nubia.com, you can see only 2 versions of nubia Z11 which are USA and Europe/Asia. Unfortunatelly Chinese version doesn't support band 20. It supports band 3 which is common in Turkey. But sometimes we need band 20, especially far from city centers.
Hello,
How can I see if my phone can work with the 800 MHz in band 20?

As i know there isn't a particular way to learn this. You can screenshot your "about phone scrren" and send it to [email protected] ask them what your phone version is. (USA / Europe or china) China version doesn't support band 20 like mine. You can test it yourself with LTE Discovery app. This app needs root acces to read the LTE band type. If you never see band 20 there, probably your phone doesn't support it. By the way, my phone doesn't support band 20 and it's 4G signal is much way weaker then the other phones. I get 1 bar 4G signal but Samsung gets 5 bars for example.
Nubia is really weak on LTE signal.

I alos have this one and the rom was terrible (from China) installed the ComboRom MM ver 3.0 from Pesa1234, now it works like a charm, only no sound on music player etc. Seems he has a solution for that as well, I am just not clever enough to know how to do it.

Mi max prime

Can someone tell me why this seller claims that the phone is mi max prime? If I understand things correctly prime is 4/128

If its 32gb than thats not prime...650 is...but no 32gb uses 650 sd....so need to confirm with the seller... Sometimes, seller doesn't even know what he sells...they tend to see everything is the same...
3/64 & 4/128 with S652 are the "Prime" models,
2/16 & 3/32 GB S650 are regular models.

Thanks that explains everything but the seller claims 3/32 to be prime I guess it's a typo then ?
