Great Smartphone but ......

Asus ZenFone5 A501CG-2A327GER (Intel Atom Z2520 multi-core, 1.6GHz, 12.7 cm (5 inch) touchscreen, 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC, 8 megapixel camera, Android 4.3) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Use the Zenfone5 (DualSim version) now are 3 weeks and am completely satisfied with the hardware.

But what does not go, is the "branding" of the company. ASUS.
Zig preinstalled apps (ASUS ZenUI etc.) I do not want to use, but they do not deactivate itself, let alone the one can erase it. These apps ASUS eat in the background the empty battery (from the first day max. 16h) consume unnecessary storage space and want quasi still full access to everything.
My Conclusion:
I'll keep it, but because the device is as I said ok without Rooting goes there nix on duration.

Thus one times has an overview of what because everything is under ZenUI and can not be turned off:
ASUS Calender
ASUS Email
ASUS Flashlight
ASUS Input Method
ASUS Messaging
ASUS MyWater
ASUS Party Link
ASUS Phone
ASUS pixels Master
ASUS Share Link
ASUS Sound Recorder
ASUS Super Note
ASUS Launcher ZenUI
ASUS Do It Later
ASUS Remote Link
ASUS Whats Next
ASUS Browser
ASUS Contacts
ASUS Calculator
ASUS Clock
ASUS Gallery
ASUS Quick Memo
ASUS Splendid
ASUS Miracast-Dongel tool
ASUS As
ASUS Security Service
ASUS EZ Lauchner
ASUS Lauchner
etc.

Added to this are various app's such as mirrors, weather etc. you can not disable or uninstall.
