REVIEW HELPER: Online-Discounts-India

LOOKS and BUILD FEATURES

The Moto G design comes with a decent Plastic body and it follows the same trend of its predecessor Moto G (1st Generation)

There is not much up gradation on the new Moto G2 design, but still the curves around the handset make it one of the few phones in the market which doesn’t look bad

On the other hand, Zenfone 5 from Asus has outrun the Moto G2 in terms of design. The Spun aluminum outer body with colorful looks makes it the best design so far in the market in the mid-range smartphones in India.

The Zenfone comes in a 148.2 x 72.8 x 5.5-10.3 dimension when compared to Moto G2's 141.5 x 70.7 x 11 mm size.

USB on the Go for Asus Zenfone 5 - with New 1.17.40.16 Firmware Update

The much needed and expected feature on the Asus zenfone 5 is here!!!
Yes the usb otg is now working after installing the update file of size 30.62mb.

The version of the new update is 1.17.40.16 received 20:00hours on 18/8/2014.

Video Showing the OTG update..

The new firmware should show up in 1-2 days?

USB OTG: What it means and how to use it

Some Android devices such as the Nexus 5 support a very useful feature that manufacturers don’t really make a whole lot of fuss over: USB On the go, or OTG. At the very basic core, it means that you can use your Android device as a USB host and connect, for example, a USB stick directly to the smartphone. At the core, it has a bunch of other uses. What else can USB OTG be used for and how it works, we’ll explain below.

What is OTG?

As stated above, OTG stands for “On the go”. With two devices that are USB OTG compatible you can make them communicate with each other and perform certain functions. The most common one we use is when we use a PC, which acts as a host, and connect a USB flash drive or a smartphone to it. With the introduction of more devices being OTG compatible, you can now bypass the PC: photos can be sent directly from your camera to a printer, a keyboard can be connected directly to a mobile device, or a USB stick can be connected to a smartphone.  One of the easiest ways to figure out whether you have a device that is USB OTG compatible is to look for the following USB logo with green arrow.

How can you use OTG on your smartphone or tablet?

The applications of USB OTG are varied and based on compatible hardware. With smartphones and tablets, the technology can be used to connect keyboards, mice, hard drives, and USB sticks.  However, not all smartphones and tablets are OTG compatible. If you’re not sure whether your device has the capability of acting as an OTG host, you can easily figure it out by downloading a free app from the Play Store called USB Host Diagnostics.

Just having a device that is OTG compatible isn’t enough though as you’ll also need a suitable OTG cable for your device. Of course, you can easily grab one for a few bucks at a few online portals, including over at Amazon.com. Furthermore, to connect storage devices such as a USB flash drive or a hard drive, you may also need an app like USB Host Controller or Total Commander.
Many of the current iteration of smartphones offer the USB OTG compatibility, I including the following:

Sony Xperia Z, ZL, Z Ultra, Z1
Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, Note 1,  Note 2, Note 3
LG Optimus G, G2
HTC X, One, One mini, One max
Google Nexus 5

With the latest Firmware Update , Asus Zenfone 5 joins the world of USB OTG in India...

A broad comparison on Asus Zenfone 5 vs Moto G

Asus Zenfone 5 has changed the mid-range segment of the smartphones into a super hit with the powerful Atom processors and RAM sizes of about 2GB.
But buyers around have confusion whether to go with a MOTO G or Asus Zenfone 5.
Let’s see some of the basic reasons what really makes the one better than the other.
Here are a few facts in which the Zenfone 5 from Asus is a superior option that the Motorola Moto G if you are on the watch for a sub-10000 or equivalent midrange smartphone.

Reasons to go for the Asus Zenfone 5 over Moto G

Price Range:

Asus's Zenfone 5 costing you at 9,999 (though FLIPKART is selling it for 10 K) not only stormed the sub-Rs 10,000 price group of smartphones in India but also postures warning to the much acclaimed Moto G that is offered in the Indian Market (Exclusive in Flipkart) for Rs 11,500 on.
So the obvious reason to go for more Indian buyers with Economic mode suggests going to Asus Zenfone 5.

Bigger Screen:

The Asus Zenfone 5 sports IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors display which is a 5-inch sized one with a resolution of 1280x720P with a 294 PPI. The Motorola G on the other hand has a bit reduced screen which is a 4.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors display with the same 1280x720p resolution but with 326 PPI.  Since the ppi difference is very less and around 36 ppis, the user cannot see a big difference and remember if the Zefone 5 has been a 4.5 inch handset, then the ppi costure will be around 385 ppi.
