Moto E or Asus Zenphone 5?

Budget - 10k
Display - IDK about displays, whichever is good for videos
Dual Sim - Doesn't matter
Preferred choice of brand - Any with a good ASS
Camera Options - 5MP primary. If secondary is present then great.
Preferred OS - Android
Preferred connectivity options - 3G
Primary use of handset - Watching Animes @720p and 1080p and reading manga(main use), Playing some mediocre games, internet browsing, little music.
Specific mobile in consideration - Moto E and Asus Zenphone 5

This is for my friend. the ASS HAS TO BE GOOD as he can't afford 10k going down down a drain as his financial conditions aren't good. Watching Animes and movies will be the major task. Future update for Android L doesn't matter much. I use Moto E and it's a good handset capable of running 1080p videos, but I don't know about the Asus Zenphone 5. Phone will be bought as soon as the choice is done. And if the Asus Zenphone 5 wins, where can he buy it as its out of stock on Flipkart.

S

Well for watching movies and anime lots of storage is a must along with a big screen for enjoyment. So the Zenphone 5 is the only winner here. ASUS A.S.S. is regarded as good these days. Just wait for it to come back in stock on flipkart as that seems to be the only place where it's available.

+1 to zenphone.

+1 to Zenphone 5. Also, ask him to get 10 bit encoded 720p anime as 1080p would be a waste of storage space on the phone.

hey plz suggest some good site to download anime you know in HQ and as small as possible and also in low quality preferably 30mb for a episode.

Hi10P Info / Guide | Haruhichan's blog - Anime news and reviews.

in short: normally, 10 bit 720p anime takes around 90-140 mb/episode, while 8 bit 1080p may take 160-230 mb/episode. hence 1080p would be a total waste of space on a phone with 720p screen.

you won't even get 480p anime in 30 mb/episode.

downloading .avi (older container and poor multi audio/subtitle support) files is too a waste of space. prefer .mkv or .mp4

This is a review from the Indian tech site

Asus Zenfone 5 review

[MENTION=50342]rohitshubham[/MENTION] - search torrent site, there are few users who uploads 480p @ 40mb per episode. Search for this user " LamBerT_vin "

[MENTION=50342]rohitshubham[/MENTION] - Use Tor browser.

In case you don't want to use Tor and download using download manger(IDM) here's a trick - paste that particular link in exrapidleech(google that) and download with full speed.

as for torrent with video files, leech your torrents to furk(google to get full site name) and download using download manager.

thnx guys i owe you one

^he could've waited for Xiaomi Mi3 launch. Ask him to cancel his order ASAP.

is the ASS good?

Non existent, apparently there are a list of service centers but no one has dealt with them for now... Even if they offer ASS, you have to keep in mind that they just started their service in india this month and therefore, it will be absolutely terrible at first..
If ASS is your first priority, buying ASUS is okay.. BUT TBH I have no idea how ASUS handles mobile phone ASS.. For things like GPU, Mobo etc, i can say ASUS is pretty good

going with ASUS then, ASS is a priority. I guess that if they handle PC parts pretty good, they'll also handle mobiles pretty good.

OK I asked him and he's willing to take the risk for those specs. I'm just wondering that if the phone will be available in local shops?

- - - Updated - - -

Mi3 doesn't have any card slot? :O :O
he already received his 32GB memory card. will the memory card work as otg if he uses a card reader?
