Saw the videos yesterday. Not a fan of the reviewer unlike Josh Vergara but he is putting a little more enthusiasm into his reviews.
GSM Arena gave the battery rating 62 hrs but the 7-8 hrs SOT for browsing/video playback seems a bit average to me. The ASUS default browser tends to kill it faster than Chrome. I was hoping at least 10 hrs of video playback for a 3000 mAh.
I am still interested because it is affordable and the higher SKU has 4 GB RAM which is still more than current flagships with 2-3x higher price. But nothing has really wowed me so far in 2015 except from Samsung with the S6 edge which makes other phones look less modern next to it. I am perfectly content with a $50 Nokia Lumia 635 with exceptionally great battery life as a secondary phone...
