YES, the battery is not 5000mah or even 3000. Point is, the Asus charger is VERY fast. So don't think you're going to be waiting 5 hours for it to charge back up from empty (provided you use a wall socket, not your weedy laptop, obviously).
Please note this is not a Sony phone, or a Motorola. For deals featuring these 2 products, please enter "Sony M4" or "Motorola" in the search box accordingly. Thanks. :)
This seems to be currently the cheapest price for this phone from a reputable source (i.e. not Expansys). Therefore I have posted it.
Thank you dazzadirect for your assistance in this deal.

£7 more is within the same price point for a significantly better phone...

Better off with the Sony M4 Aqua or Moto G (3rd gen) at this price mark.

It would be if the decimal point had been in the correct position! Further down the page it confirms "Capacity 2110 mAh". That is a pitifully small battery for this type of phone.

Where can you get an unlocked Sony M4 Aqua for £96?
Masteryates to jrussd
25 Jan 161#17
Totally Agree. The Moto G 3rd Gen which is £89 from Vodafone and a £3 unlocking code off Ebay is much better value. Will probably get a decent amount of future updates also.

£99 at Vodafone. Unlock code £5 on eBay

Yeah. Exactly. I asked where you can get an unlocked Sony M4 Aqua for £96. Or £97. So the correct answer would have been "oh yeah....nowhere".

Cheapest phone I've found that does apt-x bluetooth.
Not sensitive just baffled really as to what a Sony deal has to do with an Asus deal but that's just me : logical.
Post the Sony deal - except oh wait no it wasn't at "this price point", so not happening. Ho hum, moving along, etc etc.

The Vodafone MotoG is the 8GB model, which only has 1GB RAM. I think phones are heading towards needing 2GB RAM these days (the MotoG 16GB has 2GB).

Yea, I know but it's still the one that SDBradfo said they couldn't find, so I linked it for them.
Even though it's only 1gb ram I think it's better than this Asus.
Please see updated link - which I meant to edit ages ago but was kept distracted by people telling me about Sony phones in my Asus deal. The phone on the link does have 16gb storage. And if you've ever actually held a Zenfone for a long time, and also held a Sony brick for a long time (as I have both), you'd realise this one is far more comfortable. And cheaper.

Smart 6 ultra blows this and any other sub £150 phone out the water, even though its been on the market 6 months. Only thing against is it is looks as cheap as it is. Motorola execs probably committed suicide after thinking the 3rd gen stood a chance.

My problem with the Smart Ultra 6 is the sheer size of it. If I wanted something that size it would be a contender (along with the Honor 5X, though the price of that still isn't published yet).

I have the SU6 in white, I think it looks alright and have had several people ask if its a samsung (make of that what you will!). I agree though, theres nothing under 150 that comes close, and it matches many phones around the £200 mark. I also have a Z2 which went in for repair, it was hard going back to it from the SU6.

White wasn't around when I got mine on launch day, I can imagine it looks a lot better, if I didn't need something at the time I might have waited. Grey just looks.... Grey. And plasticky.

If you don't want people to mention sony or mototola, then don't mention those two names in your description in the first place.

I edited that a day after originally posting due to this deal turning into a "where can I get a Sony?" and "link to Motorola please?" thread. Cause and effect.

Yes, but why don't they offer the 16gb as well. Had an 8gb phone and even with sd card it kept running out of phkne memory for normal thibgs memory.

Against an £800 crApple phone, no. Against it's budget peers, from what I've seen yes they do. And certainly from my own experience of this phone for well over a year now it definitely is worth it.
