Hello!, I just got the device, it's rooted, unlocked.
The rom is I747MVLDLK4
Seems the original:
snapdragon msm8960 1536 Mhz
CPU cores:2
Manufacturer: Qualcomm
GPU Model: Adreno 225
But it shows only 1GB RAM! I tried to see it in AnTutu and see it in run applications.
How come? Is the rom is wrong or device? How to check?
What can I do to get 2GB ROM?
Thank you.

Your phone is rotted?!?! That's not good!
All jokes aside, try to return the phone to stock and see what it reports. If it is only reporting 1GB RAM, then generally that is all there is, you can't add more.
Did you buy the phone new? Check the specs on the box if so.
P.S. My S3 reports 1631 MB (keep in mind it won't show the full 2048 MB (2GB) due to the core android system using that portion to run the phone.)
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
there are 2gb of ram on your device. dont sweat it.
i'm assuming you looked at settings > about phone > hardware information?
cheers
hi, i want to buy the zenfone.. but i read that all 4gb medel should packing the Intel Atom Z3580 , with 2.3ghz .
but on sales site, like pandawill or geekbuying, i see the 4gb ram model with Intel Atom Z3560
what is real ?

There are 3 variants of ZE551ML.
1. 4GB RAM with 2.3 GHz Z3580.
2. 4GB RAM with 1.8 GHz Z3560.
3. 2GB RAM with 1.8 GHz Z3560.
The second variant has been released in India. Flipkart is selling this particular model. Not sure about other regions.
Hope this helps.

Yep, the 2.3GHz model USUALLY costs 50-60€ more than the 1.8GHz (4gig) model.

Z3580 has also been released in India and i am using it.. I bought Asus Zenfone 2 (4GB, 2.3Ghz Z3580) from Flipkart only... It is the also mentioned in the Flipkart page (Intel Atom Z3580).... here is the link to the Z3580 phone http://www.flipkart.com/asus-zenfone-2/p/itme6pvuvfsxu5wb?pid=MOBE6PVUTMZSQNHE&ref=L%3A729938417393618866&srno=b_4
Leave it up to ASUS to make it all confusing with 8000 different models of the Zenfone 2. Going to make getting a custom ROM for your specific model a nightmare to figure out.
Several users (myself included) have gotten the 1.8/4GB model from eglobal central (£181). I'm sure there are plenty other sellers of this model. I too was under the impression that you needed to go for the 2.3GHz model to get the extra memory, but no. I didn't want to pay the extra £50-60 for the better CPU so I was glad I stumbled on this middle-of-the-road variant.
To date the 1.8ghz model with 4gb ram is the 551ml model and with 2gb ram is the 550ml model.
the 4gb 1.8ghz model is only available in the 32gb internal storage while the 2.3ghz model is 64gb internal storage.
Seriously though, on Antutu, if this stuff is a must, the 1.8ghz (4gb, cpu 3560) model scores around 40,000 and the 2.3ghz scores around 48,000 due to the better cpu(3580).
I don't see how this would be a nightmare for devs as it seems the roms for the 551ml models is the same....
Mine is 32gb, 4gb ram, 2.3ghz 3580
And guys, couldn't fine a better thread for this but what do you think is the best price/performance model?
How different does 3580 perform against 3560? Do you think it's worth going for 3580?
Or does 4GB make a lot of difference (for 2015, not considering 2016 performance)?
Currently using G3 / 2GB and want a better UI performance and less lag/stutter. Don't care about gaming performance.
Thanks in advance.
1.8 GHz model is just fine

I own the Z00AD (32GB ROM, 4GB RAM, Z3560) and it's just fine for me. Gaming performance and multitasking are great! I guess the 4GB RAM is what makes the difference here.
Also the 32GB of storage are no problem either because of the microSD expansion.
I would rather save some money and go for the Z00AD. The software is the same as on the Z00A (64GB, 2.3GHz).

Going by Antutu benchmarks,
3580 with 4gb ram at 2.3ghz = 48000 score.
3560 with 4gb ram at 1.8ghz = 41000 score.
I have both and truthfully the 1.8ghz model is no different in general use.
Up to you if you want the "Best" model out there or not....

Thanks for the reply mate.
Zenfone 2 just got launched in my country but with an insane pricing.
3 versions with 4GB
Z3560 16GB 405$
Z3580 32GB 480$
Z3580 64GB 555$
Or I can get the Chinese version with Z3560 4GB 32GB for 300$ which is of course without any warranty.
Not sure if it's worth to buy Zenfone 2 while I can grab a new G3 for 405$ with warranty.

Thanks for the numbers but I generally ignore benchmarks, especially when real user experience is concerned.
Telling that both CPUs perform almost identical is encouraging though. Can you compare it to any other popular phones?
G3 is my first Android phone after lumias and I'm somewhat satisfied with its performance with some lags every now and then.

If you go to youtube there are a heap of comparison videos, usually with flagship devices, which tells you this is a good phone as it's only 1/3 to 1/2 the price.
The reviews are delivered by (mostly) impartial people though they do of course have their favourite devices too....

Wow these are some hefty prices! I would not go with the chinese version as it has no warranty. And G3 vs. the 16GB Zenfone with 4GB of RAM is actually quite a tough decision.
What about the OnePlus One? Is it available in your country and if yes how much is it?

In Oz I paid $500 for my 64gb 4gb 2.3ghz Zenphone 2 and $350 for the 32gb 4gb ram 1.8ghz Zenfone 2... That's about right....
You need to remember when you pay $00 you are talking US dollars most times and you have to take into account the exchange rate...
I've put G3 price for reference point though. For some reason, Zenfone 2 launched at a fairly higher price compared to other phones/countries.
Most expensive Zenfone 2 is 555$ (USD) compared to 300$ @Amazon. So it's quite un-encouraging to grab it.
And regarding OPO; Turkey is not an official OPO sales country. On top of that, ordering ANY phone is a no-go because if it gets spotted at the customs, it's automatically rejected, no matter what. That's valid for even 100$ Chinese phones.
So we are forced to buy either overpriced official phones or "illegal" ones which are still not cheap (OPO is inbetween 400-450$)
Someone try the new CM 12.1 on the 1.8GHz 4 GB RAM model ? Is it possible to flash it on this?
Thank you in advanced

Should be OK as long as its a 551ML model. You should read the Op's post as all the information is there...
hello all, i really need your help.
in August, i was buying a asus zenfone 2 from amazon. i was buying the 64GB that should be with 2.3GHZ and 4G ram. but, i got problem here.
i entered before 4 days to my setting to Hardware Information and there it write to me i got 3G ram and other battery version from my friend that he got also zenfone 2.
i'm realy afraid that i buy something wrong, and i really need your help..
pls help me, ty.
There's a 2gb, 3gb and 4gb version. By the way, Amazon only has 4gb/2gb models so go nuts.

and why my battery version is other from my friend battery? (and he write 4G and he buy it too from amazon)

Could be that the device isn't true 64-bit (an issue which has come up before), and available memory is hitting the 3GB ceiling (happens with Intel-based 32-bit PC's as well, with the ceiling ranging from 3GB to 3.5GB). CPU-Z is just showing a more accurate picture of total RAM (once some overhead is taken out).
More likely, could also be the way settings displays it, for that firmware version. If you are using different firmwares, the readings can be different.
Also, if your friend bought from Amazon as well, and the battery version is different (eg., mine is Z2C3), it could have been a different batch of phones, yet same model (e.g. different seller on Amazon). in that case, it's inconsequential.
What is your phone model number? Mine reads ASUS_Z00AD (I have the 2GB model).
3904mb is near of 4gb.
You hardly (or can't) find a phone that give you exactly RAM amount in spec.
Always below 100-200mb for GPU mem or something.

Nope, just making sure you didn't have the Laser.
Z00A(D) is made up of several variants, varying in CPU Speed (1.8Ghz/2.3Ghz), RAM (2GB/3GB/4GB), and storage (16GB/32GB/64GB, I hear that 128GB also exists).
Based on your CPU-Z (and System settings). you have the 2.3GHz/4GB/64GB model. So enjoy, and don't worry about the settings glitch!

i must worried because my battery is lame, and i understand all my friends that bought from the same store i bought, they got on setting 4G ram and cpu-z write them they got 4096MB ram, i got in setting 3G and cpu-z 3904MB

Which is caused by firmware difference or they were looking at a different value in CPU-Z. There is no such thing as RAM manufactured for 3904MB. It's always as powers of 2 (with sometimes a 3 thrown in. e.g. 3072MB - that is 3GB of RAM). The reason you are getting 3904MB and 3GB is because of overhead (e.g GPU). That stuff reserves memory and takes it out of the equation (My old phone has 768MB RAM, but settings always lists 518MB due to hardware and kernel's overhead). Your firmware settings is then glitching and rounding down.
If you use a different firmware version than currently (i.e. same version as your friend), you will get 4GB listed instead. If the situation still concerns you, make sure you are running the latest update.
I am curious about the 1.8GHz/16GB ZE551ML. Does it have any advantages over the 2.3GHz/64GB model?
1.83 ghz model has better standby time due to cpu clock.
i have both of them the 4gb ram & 1.83 mhz model. ( rare to found lower cpu and 4gb) and 2.3ghz 4gb model. Model nubers same ze551
Does anything change in performance? About heavy games maybe. The AnTuTu scores change or they're the same?
Except for RAM and Storage size, they're basically the same. The Antutu score will indeed increase because it takes in count everything in your device, including how much ram and how much storage, but other than that, there aren't any differences.

I've seen some antutu scores on youtube. It seems that nothing changes. The scores seem about the same
I stayed away from the 8GB one because most people were complaining about bad battery life. So the 6GB since it has less (always ON) RAM was better in battery management at that time. I don't know if they have fixed that with the latest updates tho, but recently the phone is eating more and more RAM with each update.
Earlier when I took it out of the box the used RAM would be about 2.6GB/6GB, now it's almost 3.4GB/6GB. Hope Asus isn't doing this on purpose to make us buy the Zenfone 6Z
