Im thinking about buying zenfone 5 for my sister but i don't know if apps are compatible or not my friend was saying "intel based tab & mobile have app compatibility issue & need something like binary translation which reduces performance & device get hot pretty quickly & intel based android devices are not as great as arm devices in terms of customization & hard to root" is this the fact or just rumors?

99% of apps will work. Some apps will run native, some needs to be translated which is taken care of by the OS, no need to get yourself concerned.
