I bought the Asus ZenFone 2 (ZE500CL) purely because I was drawn by its Intel Atom processor and it seemed like a decent device. The one thing that really got to me was the woeful battery life. I had the choice of getting the ZE550ML one which had a bigger battery (2500mAh vs 3000mAh). However, it has a bigger screen and houses a quad core processor. I don't need a quad core phone and the 5" screen can barely fit in my palm so a 5.5" screen is way worse!
I've shut down a lot of services but I could barely get half a day out of my phone without needing a charge. It got to the point where I was bringing my charger where ever I go. Sometimes, a USB power bank as well. Then, I discovered that I had GPS and location turned on.
I had not realized how much this thing sucks the life out of my phone battery. Turning it off makes the phone last quite a bit! What an amazing discovery and also a massive face palm on my part.
