Oneplus One vs Asus Zenfone 2

[gsinger]

Hi Everyone

Just wanting to know which phone would be the better buy between the Oneplus One and Asus Zenfone 2

Both phones are at the same price (living in Indonesia)
Oneplus One 64 GB (Rp 4,500,000 = roughly USD 410 - 420)
Asus Zenfone 2 4GB Ram 64GB (Rp 4,5000,000)

I understand that the Oneplus Two will most likely be launched in the near future, however I do not have time, as my current phone seems to be dying.

I would go for Asus zenfone 2 because of its hardware. It's atom cpu perfoms better than the snapdragon 801 and it also has 1 gigabyte of RAM more. Which is nice if you're into mobile gaming.
Other things like picture quality are pretty much the same.

edit: I looked up the benchmarks again and the cpu's equal eachoter in performance.

Intel's proc in Zenfone 2 is a little bit more powerful from the cpu side but slightly weaker on the GPU side, they are about equal in general.
Zenfone is like any other Intel's smartphones a lot cheaper for their performance class compared to Qualcomm's.
Android is not really optimized for Intel's processors, thus you will see more hick-ups and some compatibility issues.

1+1 does not have MicroSD slot, Zenfone 2 yes.
1+1 has more internal memory.
Zenfone 2 is cheaper than 1+1 but has some downsides due to Intel's proc.
1+1 is a lot more superior in term of ROM support (CyanogenMod) and you can find plenty of custom ROMs, more than for Zenfone 2.
ASUS has better customer support than 1+1.... a lot better! trust me!
1+1 does not support several specific LTE bands.
Zenfone 2 has more RAM...but I do not think is a big different
You can simply go to local stores to get Zenfone 2 but for 1+1 is not the case.

Info: I own and use 1+1 for daily basis since July 2014.

If you do not have enough time to order, etc. just get the Zenfone 2.
This should be more easier to get.

If you are living in Jakarta, you can simply go to the shop and pick it up.

Zenfone 2 (or even 5) for all the reason mentionned here, plus (humour) they all come with
Dual SIM card slot FACTORY UNLOCKED means out of the box, slap in 2 sim cards + SD card
You get 2 phone number of the greatest phone

Have one my self (Asus updates apps VERY frequently, sometimes OS)
