Lagging or error during trips, and if you look at the reviews about the phone, all users around the world encounters problem after asus have updated it's framework for the device.
Mostly majority of mobile application kept booting out, and experiencing lag time.

So you are just wasting P600 a week for the device which is deemed defective for a business. That would be P2,400 a month, if that happens if the app lags, you couldn't get a passenger, and probably they'll rate you lower for not ending the trip on time.

Majority of partners preferred using Cherry Mobile's TOUCH HD. The device is already in lollipop version on which there's no known bug for any apps and everything is working perfectly. It has the best resolution and a larger screen than the ASUS zenfone, one more thing it is much more cheaper than any other brands in the market.
