Cheap Personalized Women's Beauty Watches The original ZenFone would be two years old this month, but I doubt many of them are still in use. It was highly anticipated before release, and widely panned shortly thereafter. I have friends who bought the first generation ZenFone, and the issues were obvious right from the start: the battery couldn't last half a day, the UI was clumsy and unresponsive, it got so hot you could barely hold it, and the build quality and design really weren't up to par.A lot has changed in the last two years. The ZenFone 2 was well-received by our team and continues to be a good buy for the price. But ASUS has been hard at work, and I am happy to tell you that today, the ZenFone 3 is getting me that much closer to smartphone Nirvana: a good phone, and it's cheap. Doesn't look too bad, either. 2 4gb ram price, 4gb ram. 2 laser specification, 3 flipkart. Oppo phones australia, laser price. Selfie bateria, 2 specs. Samsung galaxy a 3, max kaina. 2 laser ze551kl review, selfie pink. Iphone se case wallet, compare 2. Celular 2 laser, spec 6. Mobile flipkart, phone 2. Iphone 6 vr goggles, 2 features. Lg stylo 2 phone case, display go. There are a lot of models to choose from in the new ASUS ZenFone lineup. Six, actually; or seven, if you count the ZenPad 3. The mid-range "vanilla" ZenFone 3 hit the shelves in Taiwan a couple of days ago, and I picked one up to replace my aging Sony Xperia ZL. I was torn between the 5.2" ZE520KL and the 5.5" ZE552KL, but eventually decided on paying the extra $60 and I'm glad that I did. Let me cut right to the chase: everything that was wrong with the ZenFone 2 Laser from our previous review has been fixed with the ZenFone 3, and then some. Well, almost everything: the software bloat remains. Specs Model ZE520KL vs. ZE552KL Size 2" (146.9 x 74 x 7.7mm, 144g) vs. 5.5" (152.6 x 77.4 x 7.7mm, 155g) Display 1920 x 1080 Super IPS+, Gorilla Glass 3 Processor 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 @ 2.0GHz RAM 3GB vs. 4GB Storage 32GB vs. 64GB (but 11.3GB is reserved for the system) Battery 2600mAh vs. 3000mAh 4G LTE Cat. 6, FDD band 1/2/3/5/7/8/18/19/26/28, TD band 38/39/40/41 WiFi 11 a/b/g/n/ac Bluetooth 2 Dual SIM Slot 1: Micro SIM, Slot 2: Nano SIM OR microSD up to 128GB Cameras 16MP f/2.0 rear, 8MP f/2.0 front Extras Fingerprint reader, laser (for autofocus and can be used to measure distance) Bonus 2 years 100GB Google Drive storage Price 7,990 NT (~$250) vs. 9,990 NT (~$310) The Good Battery Life This was the same with the ZenFone 2 Laser, and apparently ASUS has made some huge strides since the original ZenFone. Battery life is great. I'll have no problem going all day, and I use my phone a lot. It took about 90 minutes to go from 4% to 97% charge. ZenUI I almost never like skins, but the new ZenUI is not bad at all. It has some quirks, but overall very clean. Camera The picture quality is pretty good, even in the low light scenes, and the camera app has just about every manual feature I could want. It probably can't compete with the Galaxy S7, but then again, the S7 can't even come close on price. Oh, and it shoots in 4K. Screen It's bright. Very bright. Clearly visible in broad daylight, unless the screen is pointed directly at the sun. Price Yet again, ASUS has put out a great bang-for-your-buck device. $250 for the 5" version, and around $310 for this 5.5" ZE552KL - a great price for a very solid phone. The Not So Good Capacitive keys Granted, these are not unique to ASUS, but coming from Sony (soft keys FTW), I am not a fan. I like to have that extra bottom bezel to hold the device with my thumb. Also, there's no backlight, so they are impossible to see in the dark. (Yeah, I know, there are only 3 and they're pretty easy to remember, but a backlight would be nice - doesn't Taiwan overproduce LEDs anyway? ) Glass back Why? Just why? And why does this seem to be so popular these days from many different manufacturers? It looks good; not great. It gets smudged to hell, instantly, every time you hold the device. It can shatter, just like the front, and would be just as difficult to replace. I'll take unbreakable, unsmudgeable plastic over glass on the back of a budget phone any day of the week. Audio It's loud, but that's about it. The speaker quality is not something I would be able to listen to for any length of time. The included equalizer software helps a little bit. ZenSocial ASUS is pushing its own two social apps, ZenCircle and ZenChat, as basically Facebook and Messenger equivalents. Except no one uses them. And everything on ZenCircle is in Mandarin (possibly because I have a Taiwanese device, but it's set to English). I already have at least a dozen different messaging and social apps, I certainly don't need another one specific to people who have ASUS phones. Other bloat Better than previous generations, but there were still 8 pre-installed 3rd party apps on the phone, none of which I wanted. These apps can be uninstalled. There are also around 25 ASUS apps in total, that can only be disabled (but not uninstalled). Some of them are useful (system-wide audio equalizer, FM radio, note pad); many are not. This phone is slippery. It's glass on both sides. The ring around the edge is smooth but ever-so-slightly-rubberized plastic. I really think ASUS should have gone for a more tactile plastic instead of the glass, or at least something more grippy around the outside. I guess it looks and/or feels more premium with glass, but it just doesn't make any sense. Thankfully, I bought a case together with my phone, and I strongly advise you to get one. If you just want a rubber bumper case, that would be fine. I went for a 3rd party flip case. ASUS is making their own flip case for this phone, but it's more expensive. Apparently you can see the clock through a circular cut-out on the front, a feature that I don't really care about. But before you tuck your phone into its case, and before you smudge your grubby little hands all over this fingerprint magnet of glass, take at least a little while to admire it - it is actually quite good-looking. The buttons on the right side of the phone are very tactile. They're raised enough and patterned enough to be obvious, and very satisfyingly clicky. The fingerprint reader placement is also pretty good, but it's almost a double-edged sword. Without a case, the placement is perfect. With a case, or at least with my thicker 3rd party flip case, you end up trying to stick your finger in the cut-out to hit the fingerprint reader just right. It feels rather clumsy. Surprisingly though, it works. My fingerprint works about 9 out of 10 times, and I'm still getting used to it.Size-wise, this phone is big - for me. If you're used to 5.5" phones or larger phablets, it's probably nothing new, but I'm coming from a 5" phone with soft keys. The extra half-inch of screen size, combined with the capacitive buttons being below the screen rather than at the bottom of it really makes a difference. It is just barely possible for me to reach either the bottom row of capacitive buttons or the notification bar without feeling like the phone is going to pop out of my hand. I'm glad I didn't wait for the 5.7" Deluxe model. This one is big enough, and I've got big hands. So the first thing to do when you get a ZenFone is open up your app drawer, tap the menu, and tap Uninstall. Then you can uninstall or disable any apps you don't want with a single tap confirm dialog. The pre-installed apps for the Taiwanese version include: Amazon Kindle, a couple of Taiwan-specific shopping sites, Yahoo Auctions, Puffin Browser, Instagram, a Taiwan game app store and some games (Need For Speed The Sims). There were 8 of those in total, which I removed. ASUS Game Center AudioWizard (Equalizer) Calculator Camera Clock Contacts Do It Later (Todo List) File Manager Flashlight FM Radio Gallery Laser Ruler MiniMovie Mobile Manager MyASUS Phone PhotoCollage Quick Memo Share Link (WiFi file transfer) Sound Recorder Splendid (Screen calibration) System Update Themes Weather ZenChat ZenCircle ZenFone Care.I've disabled all but 10 of those. Curiously, when using the ZenUI home screen, the phone, camera, and a couple of other Zen apps always display in Chinese even with the device set to English. The English names show up if I switch to another launcher. One of the things I like about ZenUI is the multi-purposing of various buttons. Smartphones generally don't have more than a couple of buttons, but the whole idea of Zen is that sometimes less is more. Here are some shortcuts I've found to be useful:Double tap home to enter one-hand mode (partially solves the "bigness" issue) Long press the app switch button to take a screenshot (beats the pants off volume down + power finger gymnastics) Double tap the fingerprint sensor to open the camera; single tap to take a picture Double tap the home screen to sleep / wake Double-click either volume key to jump into the camera from sleep Customizable "ZenMotion" touch gestures for launching apps from wake.The are even a couple of "ZenMotion Motion Gestures" (yes that's what they are called on the phone) you can do without touching the screen. For instance, when you get a call, you can turn your phone face down to silence it, or put it next to your ear to answer. Mobile Manager, ASUS's version of an Android housekeeper, does a really good job of cleaning up all of the mess and gunk that builds up on a phone over time. From one app, it is super simple to clean up apps that spam your notifications, apps that start on boot, apps that take too many permissions, or apps that eat too much mobile data. You get fine grained control over all of those things in a very intuitive interface. It also has a "speed boost" app that supposedly clears your RAM. You should not use a task killer on Android, but since many people don't know any better, maybe at least including it with the phone will prevent people from downloading one of the junk, spyware-like versions from the Play Store. Any app can be placed behind a lock screen using the aptly named AppLock Themes. Lots and lots and lots of themes. Some free, some cost a buck or two, but there are many themes to choose from. And icon sets.Easy Mode, which, let's face it, is basically Old Person Mode, complete with extra-large font and a maximum of 9 non-movable homescreen apps Kids Mode, which is almost the same as Easy Mode except you need to enter a PIN to access other apps, answer phone calls, or leave Kids Mode.One thing I found rather frustrating was that the quick launch buttons (the ones in the notification shade) are divided into two sections, labeled ambiguously as "tools" (green) and "items" (blue), and you must have exactly 4 "tools" (one row) and either 8 or 12 "items" (2 or 3 rows). I found that I only wanted 2 of the "tools" but 10 of the "items", which also adds up to 12, but is not a possible choice. This is pretty stupid. I tried Need For Speed: No Limits and as a (very) casual gamer, I am more than satisfied with the performance of the ZenFone 3. Sure, it's not as fast as the Snapdragon 820 (or now the 821), with undoubtedly slower benchmarks and all of that jazz. But you know what? It runs smoothly without any discernible lag or choppiness, and the graphics look about as good as they get on phones. Good enough for me, and I would say good enough for the majority of casual gamers. Indirectly related to gaming, there is also a pretty cool feature ASUS has included called Game Genie. As the name suggests, it's meant for gamers, but you can in fact use it in any app. It's essentially just a screencasting tool that allows you to simultaneously record the screen, the front facing video camera, and microphone in a single video. Watch me play Need For Speed:Note: the slight choppiness in the video is not there with Game Genie turned off - I guess the graphics rendering struggles a bit while simultaneously recording the screen and front-facing camera. I stopped by the local zoo to test out the camera, and I'm very happy with the performance for the price of this device. Manual focus, exposure, and shutter speed definitely allow for some better looking pics than the auto mode, although auto is OK for a quick point and shoot. One thing is noticeable about the camera immediately: it's fast. For the autofocus and for the actual image capture; both feel very, very fast. You can even shoot in rapid fire succession and sort through your pics afterwards to find the best ones, I got up to about 15 photos before the camera app finally paused for a moment to work on the processing. After 1-2 seconds it was ready to go again. Night time pics are not great. There is a lot of blooming, and backlit signage is practically invisible. The picture looks a bit grainy as well if you zoom in, presumably because of the higher ISO setting. Daytime pics, however, look really good. These pics were taken "mostly auto," i.e., in manual mode but with most of the options set to auto. You can see in the filename whether or not the photo was taken with HDR mode on (if the filename ends with "HDR_On"). The video camera records in 4K, and the clip below was shot in full auto mode and uploaded directly to YouTube. ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL 3/10 design and build 6/10 screen 7/10 audio 6/10 camera 7/10 zenui skin 8/10 price 10/10 Overall, the ZenFone 3 is an excellent mid-range, mid-2016 smartphone. The low points for me are some aspects of the design, the audio quality, and the software bloat. The high points are basically everything else: it's fast and smooth, the screen is bright (but could be better in direct sun), the camera shoots 4K video, and some of the ZenUI apps are actually useful. Best thing about it? It's only $250-300, unlocked. I would definitely recommend this phone to someone who is not a phone snob, but who would appreciate a quality phone at the right price. I almost never buy phones that have just been released as the prices drop so quickly, but the ZenFone 3 was cheaper than almost anything comparable, even against other phones that have been out for 6 months or a year already. It will be important to see how the ZenFone 3 holds up after a few months of daily use, and since it was just released we really have no way of knowing. But I am keeping my fingers crossed. While it hasn't brought me directly to Phone Nirvana, I've been pleasantly surprised by the Zen of the ZenFone 3. iOSh8er Can you actually purchase this phone yet? If so, where? Phone_Addiction not in usa yet Edward G. You can in Taiwan - I don't think release dates have been announced elsewhere yet. Edward G. Just an FYI because I saw people asking elsewhere - some of the apps were installed when I synced my Google account. Bitcoin and Firefox were not pre-installed. The pre-installed apps were in the Apps4U folder in one of the screens above, stuff like Kindle, a couple of Taiwan-specific shopping sites, Yahoo Auctions, Puffin Browser, Instagram, a Taiwan game app store and some games (Need For Speed The Sims). There were 8 of those in total, which I removed. Here is a list of all of the included ASUS apps: ASUS Game Center AudioWizard (Equalizer) Calculator Camera Clock Contacts Do It Later (Todo List) File Manager Flashlight FM Radio Gallery Laser Ruler MiniMovie Mobile Manager MyASUS Phone PhotoCollage Quick Memo Share Link (WiFi file transfer - very useful) Sound Recorder Splendid (Screen calibration - very useful) System Update Themes Weather ZenCircle ZenFone Care ZenTalk I've disabled all but 10 of those. Noto Utomo Great to see an English language review so quickly! Could you add any more details about battery life, like SOT or a benchmark? I'm interested in how efficient the 14nm 625 really is. Edward G. So far today just over 6 hours screen on time at 40% battery. Mostly web, YouTube, camera / video, chat / social. Screen on full brightness auto, about half WiFi half mobile data. Noto Utomo Wow! That sounds impressive. People scared of the iPhone 6s Plus-size dimensions might not have to worry about choosing the 5.2 inch version with the smaller battery if it's that efficient. Sergii Pylypenko But will it survive 6 hours of Pokemon? ... I might overestimate my walking ability a bit. techpro2 the zenfone jsut read has intel and pokemon go claims they do not support intel processors for phones. so pokemon won't work according to them Nisx intel processor support pokemon go now also this device use Snapdragon 625 so it doesnt matter... the device have great battery life so i think it will survive 6 hours of pokemon go. Eumelanin Knight FM radio confirmed? Nice. The GSMarena page needs to be updated. ScoobyDoo not all models have FM radio - The Ultra does not have it while the Deluxe has it. Edward G. Headphones / audio cable required for the radio, though. Eumelanin Knight Fine by me, I expected as much. I never go without headphones anyway. ScoobyDoo Also bluetooth headphones does not work with the radio, it immediately shuts down the radio once a bluetooth headset is detected. Eumelanin Knight I haven't invested in bluetooth headphones yet, but that's good to know. Sergii Pylypenko Every phone with FM radio uses headphones cable as an antenna. AsterMK Not every. My phone (Redmi Note 2, and I assume other Xiaomi phones) works without plugging in headphones. I'm guessing it has a built in antenna. Drakenoid Is it possible to uninstall the fm app? Because I think I did that on Mi5 and can't confirm what you said :| AsterMK It's not. I'm sure it's there somewhere. Probably in the Tools folder. Drakenoid Can't find it, not even in the full app list (I thought maybe I disabled it) I did uninstall the music app, so I am not sure if I didn't somehow uninstall it too... Eumelanin Knight This information has been known to me for a while now, but I appreciate regardless. Not for you How much free space was on the phone after you uninstalled the apps that could be? Also, nice to see an AP review highlight the stupidity of glass backs on a mobile device. Edward G. I'm not sure about that, because I didn't check in between uninstalling the included apps and installing my own. I don't think it would be much different though since the games were not actually installed from the factory - they were just buttons to download from the Play Store. And yeah, I cannot for the life of me understand the glass back. I probably won't see it much if at all in the flip caSe though, so *meh*. Lord Obama Can you confirm that this phone is still uses the old Gorilla Glass 3 or is it the new Gorilla Glass 4 like in the Zenfone 2 Laser? It is hard to believe they would have a glass back and use old glass... Edward G. It's hard to confirm exactly what type of glass it is, the official specs sheet and all of the Taiwanese references only say "Corning 2.5D tempered glass" as far as I can tell, nothing about the specific generation of Gorilla Glass. The only place I've seen it say that it's Gorilla Glass 3 is gsmarena and I'm not sure where their source is. Stephen Jones I have the Zen phone 2 laser with android 6 Drakenoid Well I guess this as good place as any to mention the mi5's glass back, I was skeptical about it, but am positively surprised by how good it has held up to usage by me and how it's really hard to see any smudges... Though I have only used the white one, so no idea how other colors stand up... MJ Wow! That is horrible... My unlocked HTC 10 didn't come with as many of their own apps included as the ZenFone 3 does and the only 3rd apps were Facebook (with Messenger) and Instagram but I am still looking go back to a Nexus phone. ScoobyDoo I use 85% of the apps Noto Utomo Is there any multitasking function in Zenui? Split-screen, floating window, etc? Edward G. Not that I am aware of. Heiro78 Can you guys do a comparison between the 5.5" Zenfone 3 and the ZTE Axon 7? I wanna know what the $100 difference is here. techpro2 i have zte axon a1r just got it but seems be pretty solid. minus fact it has no led notification light lol. maybe in an update as it's pretty new. SirWoggles I feel like I've seen this phone before. https://uploads. disquscdn. com/images/c1fd87406b3a3520fa2bd020fdd343df15c1473632b10834d22ab70099532fca. jpg Ngoc B. One clever dude. Dual glas design was used way before Samsung even stepped up to more premium materials... Also the corners of S7 are more rounded and don't make the phone feel that rectangular as the Asus. Well... must be some Samsung fanboy trying to show the world that everyone try copying Samsung.. SirWoggles I didn't mean it like that. I guess it being a joke wasn't very clear. Also fyi #nexusmasterrace ScoobyDoo Also fyi, Huawei Mate 8 #mate8masterrace hehe Not for you LOL at glass being "more premium". It's more fragile than metal, and more slippery than plastic. AsterMK And prettier than both, while wireless charging still works with it. Not for you Plastic is less fragile than glass, works with wireless charging, and has less need to be surrounded by an ugly plastic case. How is glass "premium" again? AsterMK It's premium cause it's pretty. The concept of "premium" is stupid in general, but look prettier it does. ScoobyDoo that pretty glass shatters, doesnt look so pretty anymore...lol Not for you I see you've fallen for the marketing hype of "pretty = premium". My condolences. AsterMK I see you conveniently didn't read my second sentence in an attempt to sound like a smartass. Not for you I see you conveniently ignoring that's exactly what you did in your previous reply. So I guess we're both smartasses? AsterMK What did I ignore? "My condolences"? Or the reasoning why plastic is better before that? I did read that. It's just that I explained why the market thinks glass is premium, and that's exactly why: it's pretty. Eumelanin Knight Ugh I'm so jealous. I have no idea why, but I've been wanting this phone so much..Like almost to an unhealthy and obsessive degree. I won't go into detail here for integrity's sake. Lol As soon as I got the pushbullet notif. for this article, I was really hoping it may have an US release date, alas, it does not. A great article nonetheless. Thanks for confirming the two size. After watching tens of foreign review video and reading a bunch about the specs, none were at all consistent. Noto Utomo Eprice and Sogi in Taiwan always have up-to-date Asus news, and DCFever in Hong Kong is covering ZF3 also. They have all had positive initial reviews of the 5.2/5.5 ZF3, especially noting the good overall camera performance. samoanbiscuit The phones look good, but ZenUI is terrible crap. Speaking as a Zenfone owner. ScoobyDoo its not locked to the device anymore, you can chage your UI when ever you want now. just FYI samoanbiscuit ZenUI is more than just themes, it's the basic apps and system settings too. It's all crap. Thomas Westrick Any word on when this set will be released in the US? I'm really looking forward to the Ultra as my next phone. Edward G. Nothing yet... RoboBonobo The Ultra comes in a china version, and a global version. Neither version has all the bands necessary to work properly with North American carriers. I think you can find it on Amazon now though. ScoobyDoo The major problems people like myself have been having with the ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition is that the battery does not last long at all... And I don't mean just daily use, I mean the battery completely ceases to function altogether after 1 or 2 months of daily device use. One would have to RMA the device to Texas (Asus support RMA repair center of North America), to get Asus to either replace the battery all together or as Asus themselves puts it in their own words "We will most likely have to give you a refurbished device, as we really don't replace parts themselves, and it would be too costly to ship it overseas just to replace the battery sir." "We actually dont replace parts here" "We just fix parts or reinstall OS firmware when needed". So basically I purchased a brand new phone from Amazon for around $460 at the time of purchase. and its suppose to be a brand new phone. The product malfunction is the fault of the manufacture and not of the customer. And Asus is going to give me back a used previously broken device that's from someone else's RMA problems to me, after I spent $460 dollars on my what is suppose to be a "brand new device", I worked hard to save and purchase ?.. Also due note, ZenFone 2 Deluxe (Special Edition) has only been release to the public around March of 2015. - My actual device is stamped being manufactured on December 2015. And already Asus has "Discontinued" the device on all online store platforms. Yup, you heard right, Asus already discontinued the smartphone device. I purchased the device 4 months prior to them having it discontinued. So already a device I spent $460 on is already discontinues and considered old. The only thing keeping my device afloat is its 7 month warranty that it has left on the device. I personally feel that I just purchased a discontinued device now and feel cheated out of $60 dollars of my hard earned money. Its bad enough that Asus takes forever to update their firmware as millions of people are constantly begging for update to Android v6.0 Marshmallow for almost 1 year now not to mention that Google just announced and even released Android v7 (N), but now making the device discontinued is just a huge slap in the face to everyone owning a ZenFone 2 Deluxe (special edition). Marcelove So, to resume: the phone has only good aspects, because "the not so good" chart has only personal preferences from David that not impact the usage of the phone (the bottom bezel doesn't need to be hold because you can put your pinkie at the bottom of the phone to stabilize it at your hand, if you drop the phone the front panel probably will shatter so the back is the least of your problem, loud audio from the internal speaker is the characteristic that really matter about sound on a smartphone and most of pre-installed apps can be unistalled) Edward G. I don't personally like stabilizing with my pinky, it feels too insecure and I'm used to having a bottom bezel. That's personal preference though. samoanbiscuit I own a Zenfone 1, even with the hardware improvements, I will not be getting another ASUS phone. ZenUI changes too much with Android, and ASUS isn't anywhere close to Samsung or Sony's level when it come to software. Their Zen apps are terrible, their OS updates constantly break important 3rd party apps, and the stability of later updates is terrible. If they had just left it as AOSP and sold these devices, they would honestly be much better. ZenUI is too ambitious for a company that make decent hardware, but terrible software. jesuguru Not wanting excessive bloatware is hardly a "personal preference from David", much of which can apparently only be disabled not uninstalled. Starcube Ahh, the phones-screen-down-on-rocks tradition returns! Mmm, scratches. Edward G. Not a single one, thankfully! Starcube Rock is as hard or sometimes harder than glass - glass is made of sand, after all. If you touch rock to glass, there WILL be scratches on the glass, guaranteed. Perhaps not big, but there will be. It's physics. minakisora Haven't you heard of Gorilla Glass? Apparently not Starcube Do you even know how Gorilla Glass is made? It's still glass. It CAN scratch. Read up on some physics before posting. Edward G. If I need a microscope to see it, it doesn't bother me. Starcube But you don't. :) Starcube But you don't. :) José Leonardo As I ZF2 owner I did not recommend any Asus' phone to anyone. ZF2 is fast, it is a lot of RAM (4gb), but Asus is totally horrible about updates, I am not only referring about newer version of Android, but also about their own buggy software. ZF2 had countless updates but only to fix their own bugs, and after one thing fixed they used to broken more two (I am not kidding). That's why we had countless updates, but we are still using Android 5.0 (yes, 5.0 not 5.1). They promised Android M for 2Q and didn't realise it, now they even talk about a new date or something like this. Same happened when they promised Android 5.1, but after Google release Android M, they said they would skip 5.1 to realise M, which they broken their promise too. samoanbiscuit Totally agree, decent hardware screwed over by terrible software. Worse than Samsung in 2009. Edward G. I bought this with the expectation that it might never get N, or if it did that it almost definitely would not get O. To me it's a decent trade off at this price, and definitely one of the reasons I wouldn't have gotten the Deluxe. AsterMK I wouldn't expect software updates on a budget phone with specs like that. My Redmi Note 2 is also on 5.0.2, although it does have a Mediatek. I can't say it's been buggy though, other than the older Android version the software is solid. Do they at least push security patches? José Leonardo The last one was on May. I was expecting for updates since this had a good hardware and it was their flagship phone. AsterMK Well that's disappointing. I got July in the last update. What I meant to say is, with hardware like that, they probably saved some money on software support. ScoobyDoo Deluxe edition does not have the same updates as the Selfie or other models of ZF2. Which makes it even worse. The thing is I WAS going to buy the ZenPad 3 and ZenFone 3, but now im not.... I dont trust Asus and their shitty support. Im tired of everything about Asus. - 8 years ago I purchased a Asus motherboard for my home computer, 2 months of using it it blew on me, stopped working completely. I purchased a Gigabyte Motherboard and threw out the Asus motherboard, and Its still working today. im on it right now. Fast-Forward to 2016 I purchased ZenFone 2 Deluxe and I got screwed again. As of today, I will NEVER EVER purchase anything related to Asus ever. Brolin Empey If the motherboard failed only 2 months after purchasing it, why discard it instead of having it repaired or replaced under warranty (assuming you bought it new)? 0_o ScoobyDoo because they want me to pay $65 shipping fee. techpro2 weird all i use for pc is asus and never an issue. ScoobyDoo you're one of the lucky ones. there are millions of people in the same boat im in. cant trust Asus anymore. specially with phones. Going to purchase a Huawei phone next. Im done with Asus and their shitty phones and shitty customer service and shitty support and shitty products. Bermudan Option Idol 3 cost the same amount and managed to have updates luca020400 Never heard of cyanogenmod mate? José Leonardo Yes, I have. And I also have heard some bugs people are having using CM. Not in mood for that, at least now things are less worse on the stock Android. luca020400 Bugs like?

Shrimasis Rout Hmm, actually its the intel cpu which is the problem. Two of my frnds own zenfone. A zenfone 2 and another a zenfone laser. The laser one never gave any problem but the intel one is surely buggy as hell. José Leonardo Seriously? If you take a look at Asus ZenFone Laser you'll probably change your mind. Mostly of all bugs on ZenFone 2 are present on ZenFone Laser also. Shrimasis Rout I have used both phones for a few times. The bugs I encountered with zenfone 2 were like, camera app freezing after taking a few shots, phone being freezed when receiving a call. I never saw any bug at all in the zenfone laser (snapdragon 615). Badelhas True. The Wifi and GPS on my friends Asus Zenfone Laser 2 is buggy and even Marshmallow didnt fix it. And I hate the bloat. I prefer the Alcatel Idol 3 4.7Inch, and its cheaper. José Leonardo @shrimasis:disqus should read it Shrimasis Rout Well, he is complaining about his zenfone 2. And I am sure there wont be any complaint from snapdragon zenfone users Shrimasis Rout Hmm, I will ask my frnd who owns zenfone laser if he faced any problem with his phone. jay This has been my exact experience. minakisora You have to understand that they are using x86 processors and there has been a lot of problems in coding even the custom roms found online. Hopefully they get better since now they'd be using a snapdragon processor. José Leonardo Haven't you read what other people and I said? It is nothing about x86 processors, even their Snapdragon phones have the same issues that ZN2 has. Michael Biagioni It's missing band 12 Edward G. This is the Taiwan model. I'm not sure if it's common to have different bands in different countries, but that might explain it. Michael Biagioni Edward, Your info. is correct, I'm in the U.S. using At t https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/specifications/ "US/BR version: 3G: WCDMA: Band: 1/2/4/5/8 4G: FDD: Band: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/17/28" Gabriel James DeFlorio Where did you purchase it? I'm in the US and while I already have Xiaomi mi5. I like the atheistics of this phone much more and I'm trying to purchase one. Michael Biagioni http://www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?sid=91089490 cat=P-SMARTPH search=zenfone%203 Gabriel James DeFlorio I was hoping to not have to pay the $100 extra expansys wants. But looks like I might have to. Lord Obama I would advise against ordering anything from expansysm they sent me the wrong phone and took a long time to get my money back. Gabriel James DeFlorio Ehh, nothing a fraud claim filed with your cardholder can't take care of. That'll get anyone moving to send your money back. But thanks for the concern. TriguyRN Ah so we're doing Verge style number reviews now? ;) David Ruddock Our reviewers are free to use or not use them, it's a personal choice. Jeff Beck Some of us just never learned to count so we skip the number part. At leest I spell gud. Bryan Breguet Shouldn't a website have some sort of consistency for reviews? Bob LaRosa After a year with the ZenFone 2, I've decided to go back to a mainstream phone and ordereda Galaxy S7. Tired of waiting for updates and the last straw the spring in the SIM card slot became loose, resulting in a SIM card error. Gary Put a small piece of plastic sheet on top of the SIM card so that it fits tight. Sk I think, If one has 3GB or 4GB of RAM in his phone, then why bother about default UI, Zen UI in this case? Just install a third party launcher and then forget the Zen UI. It is the beauty of Android that we can customize our phone as we wish. Secondly, when you can either uninstall and disable default apps, those apps will not be the reason of your headache anymore. Once you are sure about craps included in the handset and then act accordingly, you will feel happy due to the performance of our phone. No Phone Manufacturer sell their device withoutthose apps which we consider as bloatware. What I can't understand is that, when Play Store is available for all and it's free, all of the apps are available there, then Why do phone manufacturers bother about pushing those bloatware? If they refrain from doing so, then we can get more and more precious inbuilt storage free. Rod Launcher only replaces the homescreen, mate. Avery Holder After owning a plastic backed phone, I think I'm willing to sacrifice the removable backing for glass back with a case. I've had my Samsung Galaxy S5 for almost two years, although due to water damage I had to have it replaced a couple months ago. The first S5 cracked along the edge in the plastic backing and I think it eventually led to a small hole in my phone. The second S5 cracked in the exact same place, less than a couple months in. I'm not a special use case, I'm not abusing the phone. Sometimes it has a case on it, and others it doesn't, but I'm not constantly dropping the phone or doing anything that should cause damage. On top of that, the plastic backing has three little gouges in the back now, from where my phone was carried around by a puppy. I sat the phone down for a minute and go do something, come back and find the dog carrying it. There was no damage to the front glass, but now there are teeth marks in my phone. Here I come glass backing! Charles Zimmerman Yeah well wait until puppy gets a hold of your new glass backed phone. Avery Holder Didn't even scratch the front glass on this phone, I doubt it'll do anything to the glass on the back. Avery Holder Doubt it'll even scratch it. It certainly didn't scratch the front glass when it's picked it up the first time, just the plastic backing. Mike P Good day Mr. G, so i was thinking and would be glad for some advise, well Im not a big fan of big screens as well. Right now Im using Sony Xperia Z5 compact, yeah softkeys :) as Im typing this lol. So I was thinking of selling this device and get Zenfone 3 with 5.2in screen, and which will even get me some extra cash, do you think that will be a good idea? And how fast is Snapdragon 625 compared to 810? I was trying to look for some benchmarks on your reviews but there arent. TIA! Edward G. Good day Mr. P! I am not huge on benchmarks - I prefer "perceived experience" - but, since you asked: AndroBench: SEQ RD 280.2 / WR 201.43 RND RD 19733.74 / WR 2009.76 SQLite INS 81.52 / UPD 78.29 / DEL 84.65 Geekbench: Single-core 915 Multi-core 5022 AnTuTu: 3D 12774 (Marooned 7767, Garden 5007) UX 22965 CPU 19752 RAM 5482 TOT 60973 HTML5 18352 Battery: No "official" benchmarks but 3 days in a row of 40% remaining at 6 hours screen on time, so far. No idea if you should trade in your Z5 compact. I think that screen is a tiny bit small for my taste... I liked the 5" size in the hand, but wanted a bigger screen - it's a trade off. Overall I'm happy with the 5.5" screen and will get used to the size, I suppose. Badelhas The bloat kills it for me Charles Zimmerman The bloat really wouldn't matter much if battery life comes as advertised. Edward G. I will update the post soon with my battery experience, but just FYI I'm currently on day 3 of ~40% remaining at ~6 hours screen on time. So far, so good. Michael Biagioni Do you have a battery saver mode on or any other battery saving tricks you are using? demarcmj $200-300 is still a lot for an off-brand mid-range device when you can get used-but-in-great-condition previous-year flagships for around $200 (or sometimes less). Heck, you can sometimes find brand-new previous-year flagships for around $200. Edward G. This phone will be $200 in a few months, for sure. Also, ASUS is not at all an "off-brand" device. It may be a relative latecomer to smartphones, but definitely not an off-brand. Especially not in Taiwan. For comparison, Taiwan Mobile (a medium sized telecom company here) makes their own smartphones for like $80. Those things are off-brand. Michael Biagioni It's already on ebay for as low as $309 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40 _trksid=p2050601. m570.l1313. TR10.TRC2.A0.H0.Xzenfone+3.TRS2 _nkw=zenfone+3 _sacat=0 Richard_Evans I can't wait to buy one. I think it's a bargain, even at $300 for the 5.5" model. Included is a certified High Res audio player. A stand alone High Res player with 24 bit/192k oversampling will cost you $300. The camera is great too with the Sony IMX298 CMOS sensor. Manufacturers set a lowest advertised price and it pretty much stays there until the product is set to be replaced by a newer model. Take the Zenfone 2 laser for instance. Retail is $250 and 8-9 months after it's introduction it's still $230. Maybe there will be a sale in a few months but if $50 makes that much of a difference then maybe you should skip cell phones altogether because the service plan will be more than you can afford. Stephen Did you actually USE the original Zenfone, or just read a few people slagging it off online and join in with the sheep. Still using my ZenFone 5 after nearly 2 years now - nope, never been "almost too hot to hold". Nope, never had any problem whatsoever with "unresponsive UI". Oh wait your FRIENDS bought one...oh well now that qualifies you then, eh. Well done. Build quality was actually one of the things it was renowned for too. Just so you're a bit more clued up for the next time you revert to mentioning something you have no first-hand experience of. Jake You know, I may be in the minority here, but my Intel powered ZF2 has not given me any issues. To be fair I only bought it because Cyanogenmod was available and it had good specs for the price, with no intentions of keeping it stock Sheldon Sir does it have fast charging and nfc? Richard_Evans No and no. I don't care about NFC and fast charging, while convenient greatly shortens the battery life. That's an issue now that most phones don't have user replaceable batteries. Harold Josevich I have a 5 hour layover in Taiwan next week. I hope there are stores in the airport that sell them or any store near the international airport Noto Utomo Should be possible, I bought an HTC One E8 when it was first released at the Taipei airport a couple years ago. Should be a slight discount from the list price at the duty free electronics shop. Harold Josevich OMG! thank you! will definitely look for it tony sanchez Don't buy an asus phone. You will pay the price twice, they will not support their flagship. Update the bottom tier and leave the top tier out to dry. Phone is buggy as he'll. Better off with a lower tier Samsung phone. Their phones don't do anything well. This company has no business in the market with their customer service and failure to back their product. mark gatdula Every time i turn on my Touch gesture (double tap) my phone's screen doesn't stop on turning on and off, am i the only one who's experiencing this? my phone is zenfone 3max 5.2.

Cheap Personalized Women's Beauty Watches The original ZenFone would be two years old this month, but I doubt many of them are still in use. It was highly anticipated before release, and widely panned shortly thereafter. I have friends who bought the first generation ZenFone, and the issues were obvious right from the start: the battery couldn't last half a day, the UI was clumsy and unresponsive, it got so hot you could barely hold it, and the build quality and design really weren't up to par.A lot has changed in the last two years. The ZenFone 2 was well-received by our team and continues to be a good buy for the price. But ASUS has been hard at work, and I am happy to tell you that today, the ZenFone 3 is getting me that much closer to smartphone Nirvana: a good phone, and it's cheap. Doesn't look too bad, either. 2 4gb ram price, 4gb ram. 2 laser specification, 3 flipkart. Oppo phones australia, laser price. Selfie bateria, 2 specs.

Lg stylo 2 phone case, display go. There are a lot of models to choose from in the new ASUS ZenFone lineup. Six, actually; or seven, if you count the ZenPad 3. The mid-range "vanilla" ZenFone 3 hit the shelves in Taiwan a couple of days ago, and I picked one up to replace my aging Sony Xperia ZL. I was torn between the 5.2" ZE520KL and the 5.5" ZE552KL, but eventually decided on paying the extra $60 and I'm glad that I did. Let me cut right to the chase: everything that was wrong with the ZenFone 2 Laser from our previous review has been fixed with the ZenFone 3, and then some. Well, almost everything: the software bloat remains. Specs Model ZE520KL vs. ZE552KL Size 2" (146.9 x 74 x 7.7mm, 144g) vs. 5.5" (152.6 x 77.4 x 7.7mm, 155g) Display 1920 x 1080 Super IPS+, Gorilla Glass 3 Processor 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 @ 2.0GHz RAM 3GB vs. 4GB Storage 32GB vs. 64GB (but 11.3GB is reserved for the system) Battery 2600mAh vs. 3000mAh 4G LTE Cat. 6, FDD band 1/2/3/5/7/8/18/19/26/28, TD band 38/39/40/41 WiFi 11 a/b/g/n/ac Bluetooth 2 Dual SIM Slot 1: Micro SIM, Slot 2: Nano SIM OR microSD up to 128GB Cameras 16MP f/2.0 rear, 8MP f/2.0 front Extras Fingerprint reader, laser (for autofocus and can be used to measure distance) Bonus 2 years 100GB Google Drive storage Price 7,990 NT (~$250) vs. 9,990 NT (~$310) The Good Battery Life This was the same with the ZenFone 2 Laser, and apparently ASUS has made some huge strides since the original ZenFone. Battery life is great. I'll have no problem going all day, and I use my phone a lot. It took about 90 minutes to go from 4% to 97% charge. ZenUI I almost never like skins, but the new ZenUI is not bad at all. It has some quirks, but overall very clean. Camera The picture quality is pretty good, even in the low light scenes, and the camera app has just about every manual feature I could want. It probably can't compete with the Galaxy S7, but then again, the S7 can't even come close on price. Oh, and it shoots in 4K. Screen It's bright. Very bright. Clearly visible in broad daylight, unless the screen is pointed directly at the sun. Price Yet again, ASUS has put out a great bang-for-your-buck device. $250 for the 5" version, and around $310 for this 5.5" ZE552KL - a great price for a very solid phone. The Not So Good Capacitive keys Granted, these are not unique to ASUS, but coming from Sony (soft keys FTW), I am not a fan. I like to have that extra bottom bezel to hold the device with my thumb. Also, there's no backlight, so they are impossible to see in the dark. (Yeah, I know, there are only 3 and they're pretty easy to remember, but a backlight would be nice - doesn't Taiwan overproduce LEDs anyway? ) Glass back Why? Just why? And why does this seem to be so popular these days from many different manufacturers? It looks good; not great. It gets smudged to hell, instantly, every time you hold the device. It can shatter, just like the front, and would be just as difficult to replace. I'll take unbreakable, unsmudgeable plastic over glass on the back of a budget phone any day of the week. Audio It's loud, but that's about it. The speaker quality is not something I would be able to listen to for any length of time. The included equalizer software helps a little bit. ZenSocial ASUS is pushing its own two social apps, ZenCircle and ZenChat, as basically Facebook and Messenger equivalents. Except no one uses them. And everything on ZenCircle is in Mandarin (possibly because I have a Taiwanese device, but it's set to English). I already have at least a dozen different messaging and social apps, I certainly don't need another one specific to people who have ASUS phones. Other bloat Better than previous generations, but there were still 8 pre-installed 3rd party apps on the phone, none of which I wanted. These apps can be uninstalled. There are also around 25 ASUS apps in total, that can only be disabled (but not uninstalled). Some of them are useful (system-wide audio equalizer, FM radio, note pad); many are not. This phone is slippery. It's glass on both sides. The ring around the edge is smooth but ever-so-slightly-rubberized plastic. I really think ASUS should have gone for a more tactile plastic instead of the glass, or at least something more grippy around the outside. I guess it looks and/or feels more premium with glass, but it just doesn't make any sense. Thankfully, I bought a case together with my phone, and I strongly advise you to get one. If you just want a rubber bumper case, that would be fine. I went for a 3rd party flip case. ASUS is making their own flip case for this phone, but it's more expensive. Apparently you can see the clock through a circular cut-out on the front, a feature that I don't really care about. But before you tuck your phone into its case, and before you smudge your grubby little hands all over this fingerprint magnet of glass, take at least a little while to admire it - it is actually quite good-looking. The buttons on the right side of the phone are very tactile. They're raised enough and patterned enough to be obvious, and very satisfyingly clicky. The fingerprint reader placement is also pretty good, but it's almost a double-edged sword. Without a case, the placement is perfect. With a case, or at least with my thicker 3rd party flip case, you end up trying to stick your finger in the cut-out to hit the fingerprint reader just right. It feels rather clumsy. Surprisingly though, it works. My fingerprint works about 9 out of 10 times, and I'm still getting used to it.Size-wise, this phone is big - for me. If you're used to 5.5" phones or larger phablets, it's probably nothing new, but I'm coming from a 5" phone with soft keys. The extra half-inch of screen size, combined with the capacitive buttons being below the screen rather than at the bottom of it really makes a difference. It is just barely possible for me to reach either the bottom row of capacitive buttons or the notification bar without feeling like the phone is going to pop out of my hand. I'm glad I didn't wait for the 5.7" Deluxe model. This one is big enough, and I've got big hands. So the first thing to do when you get a ZenFone is open up your app drawer, tap the menu, and tap Uninstall. Then you can uninstall or disable any apps you don't want with a single tap confirm dialog. The pre-installed apps for the Taiwanese version include: Amazon Kindle, a couple of Taiwan-specific shopping sites, Yahoo Auctions, Puffin Browser, Instagram, a Taiwan game app store and some games (Need For Speed The Sims). There were 8 of those in total, which I removed.

Curiously, when using the ZenUI home screen, the phone, camera, and a couple of other Zen apps always display in Chinese even with the device set to English. The English names show up if I switch to another launcher. One of the things I like about ZenUI is the multi-purposing of various buttons. Smartphones generally don't have more than a couple of buttons, but the whole idea of Zen is that sometimes less is more. Here are some shortcuts I've found to be useful:Double tap home to enter one-hand mode (partially solves the "bigness" issue) Long press the app switch button to take a screenshot (beats the pants off volume down + power finger gymnastics) Double tap the fingerprint sensor to open the camera; single tap to take a picture Double tap the home screen to sleep / wake Double-click either volume key to jump into the camera from sleep Customizable "ZenMotion" touch gestures for launching apps from wake.The are even a couple of "ZenMotion Motion Gestures" (yes that's what they are called on the phone) you can do without touching the screen. For instance, when you get a call, you can turn your phone face down to silence it, or put it next to your ear to answer. Mobile Manager, ASUS's version of an Android housekeeper, does a really good job of cleaning up all of the mess and gunk that builds up on a phone over time. From one app, it is super simple to clean up apps that spam your notifications, apps that start on boot, apps that take too many permissions, or apps that eat too much mobile data. You get fine grained control over all of those things in a very intuitive interface. It also has a "speed boost" app that supposedly clears your RAM. You should not use a task killer on Android, but since many people don't know any better, maybe at least including it with the phone will prevent people from downloading one of the junk, spyware-like versions from the Play Store. Any app can be placed behind a lock screen using the aptly named AppLock Themes. Lots and lots and lots of themes. Some free, some cost a buck or two, but there are many themes to choose from. And icon sets.Easy Mode, which, let's face it, is basically Old Person Mode, complete with extra-large font and a maximum of 9 non-movable homescreen apps Kids Mode, which is almost the same as Easy Mode except you need to enter a PIN to access other apps, answer phone calls, or leave Kids Mode.One thing I found rather frustrating was that the quick launch buttons (the ones in the notification shade) are divided into two sections, labeled ambiguously as "tools" (green) and "items" (blue), and you must have exactly 4 "tools" (one row) and either 8 or 12 "items" (2 or 3 rows). I found that I only wanted 2 of the "tools" but 10 of the "items", which also adds up to 12, but is not a possible choice. This is pretty stupid. I tried Need For Speed: No Limits and as a (very) casual gamer, I am more than satisfied with the performance of the ZenFone 3. Sure, it's not as fast as the Snapdragon 820 (or now the 821), with undoubtedly slower benchmarks and all of that jazz. But you know what? It runs smoothly without any discernible lag or choppiness, and the graphics look about as good as they get on phones. Good enough for me, and I would say good enough for the majority of casual gamers. Indirectly related to gaming, there is also a pretty cool feature ASUS has included called Game Genie. As the name suggests, it's meant for gamers, but you can in fact use it in any app. It's essentially just a screencasting tool that allows you to simultaneously record the screen, the front facing video camera, and microphone in a single video. Watch me play Need For Speed:Note: the slight choppiness in the video is not there with Game Genie turned off - I guess the graphics rendering struggles a bit while simultaneously recording the screen and front-facing camera. I stopped by the local zoo to test out the camera, and I'm very happy with the performance for the price of this device. Manual focus, exposure, and shutter speed definitely allow for some better looking pics than the auto mode, although auto is OK for a quick point and shoot. One thing is noticeable about the camera immediately: it's fast. For the autofocus and for the actual image capture; both feel very, very fast. You can even shoot in rapid fire succession and sort through your pics afterwards to find the best ones, I got up to about 15 photos before the camera app finally paused for a moment to work on the processing. After 1-2 seconds it was ready to go again. Night time pics are not great. There is a lot of blooming, and backlit signage is practically invisible. The picture looks a bit grainy as well if you zoom in, presumably because of the higher ISO setting. Daytime pics, however, look really good. These pics were taken "mostly auto," i.e., in manual mode but with most of the options set to auto. You can see in the filename whether or not the photo was taken with HDR mode on (if the filename ends with "HDR_On"). The video camera records in 4K, and the clip below was shot in full auto mode and uploaded directly to YouTube. ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL 3/10 design and build 6/10 screen 7/10 audio 6/10 camera 7/10 zenui skin 8/10 price 10/10 Overall, the ZenFone 3 is an excellent mid-range, mid-2016 smartphone. The low points for me are some aspects of the design, the audio quality, and the software bloat. The high points are basically everything else: it's fast and smooth, the screen is bright (but could be better in direct sun), the camera shoots 4K video, and some of the ZenUI apps are actually useful. Best thing about it? It's only $250-300, unlocked. I would definitely recommend this phone to someone who is not a phone snob, but who would appreciate a quality phone at the right price. I almost never buy phones that have just been released as the prices drop so quickly, but the ZenFone 3 was cheaper than almost anything comparable, even against other phones that have been out for 6 months or a year already. It will be important to see how the ZenFone 3 holds up after a few months of daily use, and since it was just released we really have no way of knowing. But I am keeping my fingers crossed. While it hasn't brought me directly to Phone Nirvana, I've been pleasantly surprised by the Zen of the ZenFone 3. iOSh8er Can you actually purchase this phone yet? If so, where? Phone_Addiction not in usa yet Edward G. You can in Taiwan - I don't think release dates have been announced elsewhere yet. Edward G. Just an FYI because I saw people asking elsewhere - some of the apps were installed when I synced my Google account. Bitcoin and Firefox were not pre-installed. The pre-installed apps were in the Apps4U folder in one of the screens above, stuff like Kindle, a couple of Taiwan-specific shopping sites, Yahoo Auctions, Puffin Browser, Instagram, a Taiwan game app store and some games (Need For Speed The Sims). There were 8 of those in total, which I removed. Here is a list of all of the included ASUS apps: ASUS Game Center AudioWizard (Equalizer) Calculator Camera Clock Contacts Do It Later (Todo List) File Manager Flashlight FM Radio Gallery Laser Ruler MiniMovie Mobile Manager MyASUS Phone PhotoCollage Quick Memo Share Link (WiFi file transfer - very useful) Sound Recorder Splendid (Screen calibration - very useful) System Update Themes Weather ZenCircle ZenFone Care ZenTalk I've disabled all but 10 of those. Noto Utomo Great to see an English language review so quickly! Could you add any more details about battery life, like SOT or a benchmark? I'm interested in how efficient the 14nm 625 really is. Edward G. So far today just over 6 hours screen on time at 40% battery. Mostly web, YouTube, camera / video, chat / social. Screen on full brightness auto, about half WiFi half mobile data. Noto Utomo Wow! That sounds impressive. People scared of the iPhone 6s Plus-size dimensions might not have to worry about choosing the 5.2 inch version with the smaller battery if it's that efficient. Sergii Pylypenko But will it survive 6 hours of Pokemon? ... I might overestimate my walking ability a bit. techpro2 the zenfone jsut read has intel and pokemon go claims they do not support intel processors for phones. so pokemon won't work according to them Nisx intel processor support pokemon go now also this device use Snapdragon 625 so it doesnt matter... the device have great battery life so i think it will survive 6 hours of pokemon go. Eumelanin Knight FM radio confirmed? Nice. The GSMarena page needs to be updated. ScoobyDoo not all models have FM radio - The Ultra does not have it while the Deluxe has it. Edward G. Headphones / audio cable required for the radio, though. Eumelanin Knight Fine by me, I expected as much. I never go without headphones anyway. ScoobyDoo Also bluetooth headphones does not work with the radio, it immediately shuts down the radio once a bluetooth headset is detected. Eumelanin Knight I haven't invested in bluetooth headphones yet, but that's good to know. Sergii Pylypenko Every phone with FM radio uses headphones cable as an antenna. AsterMK Not every. My phone (Redmi Note 2, and I assume other Xiaomi phones) works without plugging in headphones. I'm guessing it has a built in antenna. Drakenoid Is it possible to uninstall the fm app? Because I think I did that on Mi5 and can't confirm what you said :| AsterMK It's not. I'm sure it's there somewhere. Probably in the Tools folder. Drakenoid Can't find it, not even in the full app list (I thought maybe I disabled it) I did uninstall the music app, so I am not sure if I didn't somehow uninstall it too... Eumelanin Knight This information has been known to me for a while now, but I appreciate regardless. Not for you How much free space was on the phone after you uninstalled the apps that could be? Also, nice to see an AP review highlight the stupidity of glass backs on a mobile device. Edward G. I'm not sure about that, because I didn't check in between uninstalling the included apps and installing my own. I don't think it would be much different though since the games were not actually installed from the factory - they were just buttons to download from the Play Store. And yeah, I cannot for the life of me understand the glass back. I probably won't see it much if at all in the flip caSe though, so *meh*. Lord Obama Can you confirm that this phone is still uses the old Gorilla Glass 3 or is it the new Gorilla Glass 4 like in the Zenfone 2 Laser? It is hard to believe they would have a glass back and use old glass... Edward G. It's hard to confirm exactly what type of glass it is, the official specs sheet and all of the Taiwanese references only say "Corning 2.5D tempered glass" as far as I can tell, nothing about the specific generation of Gorilla Glass. The only place I've seen it say that it's Gorilla Glass 3 is gsmarena and I'm not sure where their source is. Stephen Jones I have the Zen phone 2 laser with android 6 Drakenoid Well I guess this as good place as any to mention the mi5's glass back, I was skeptical about it, but am positively surprised by how good it has held up to usage by me and how it's really hard to see any smudges... Though I have only used the white one, so no idea how other colors stand up... MJ Wow! That is horrible... My unlocked HTC 10 didn't come with as many of their own apps included as the ZenFone 3 does and the only 3rd apps were Facebook (with Messenger) and Instagram but I am still looking go back to a Nexus phone. ScoobyDoo I use 85% of the apps Noto Utomo Is there any multitasking function in Zenui? Split-screen, floating window, etc? Edward G. Not that I am aware of. Heiro78 Can you guys do a comparison between the 5.5" Zenfone 3 and the ZTE Axon 7? I wanna know what the $100 difference is here. techpro2 i have zte axon a1r just got it but seems be pretty solid. minus fact it has no led notification light lol. maybe in an update as it's pretty new. SirWoggles I feel like I've seen this phone before. https://uploads. disquscdn. com/images/c1fd87406b3a3520fa2bd020fdd343df15c1473632b10834d22ab70099532fca. jpg Ngoc B. One clever dude. Dual glas design was used way before Samsung even stepped up to more premium materials... Also the corners of S7 are more rounded and don't make the phone feel that rectangular as the Asus. Well... must be some Samsung fanboy trying to show the world that everyone try copying Samsung.. SirWoggles I didn't mean it like that. I guess it being a joke wasn't very clear. Also fyi #nexusmasterrace ScoobyDoo Also fyi, Huawei Mate 8 #mate8masterrace hehe Not for you LOL at glass being "more premium". It's more fragile than metal, and more slippery than plastic. AsterMK And prettier than both, while wireless charging still works with it. Not for you Plastic is less fragile than glass, works with wireless charging, and has less need to be surrounded by an ugly plastic case. How is glass "premium" again? AsterMK It's premium cause it's pretty. The concept of "premium" is stupid in general, but look prettier it does. ScoobyDoo that pretty glass shatters, doesnt look so pretty anymore...lol Not for you I see you've fallen for the marketing hype of "pretty = premium". My condolences. AsterMK I see you conveniently didn't read my second sentence in an attempt to sound like a smartass. Not for you I see you conveniently ignoring that's exactly what you did in your previous reply. So I guess we're both smartasses? AsterMK What did I ignore? "My condolences"? Or the reasoning why plastic is better before that? I did read that. It's just that I explained why the market thinks glass is premium, and that's exactly why: it's pretty. Eumelanin Knight Ugh I'm so jealous. I have no idea why, but I've been wanting this phone so much..Like almost to an unhealthy and obsessive degree. I won't go into detail here for integrity's sake. Lol As soon as I got the pushbullet notif. for this article, I was really hoping it may have an US release date, alas, it does not. A great article nonetheless. Thanks for confirming the two size. After watching tens of foreign review video and reading a bunch about the specs, none were at all consistent. Noto Utomo Eprice and Sogi in Taiwan always have up-to-date Asus news, and DCFever in Hong Kong is covering ZF3 also. They have all had positive initial reviews of the 5.2/5.5 ZF3, especially noting the good overall camera performance. samoanbiscuit The phones look good, but ZenUI is terrible crap. Speaking as a Zenfone owner. ScoobyDoo its not locked to the device anymore, you can chage your UI when ever you want now. just FYI samoanbiscuit ZenUI is more than just themes, it's the basic apps and system settings too. It's all crap. Thomas Westrick Any word on when this set will be released in the US? I'm really looking forward to the Ultra as my next phone. Edward G. Nothing yet... RoboBonobo The Ultra comes in a china version, and a global version. Neither version has all the bands necessary to work properly with North American carriers. I think you can find it on Amazon now though. ScoobyDoo The major problems people like myself have been having with the ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition is that the battery does not last long at all... And I don't mean just daily use, I mean the battery completely ceases to function altogether after 1 or 2 months of daily device use. One would have to RMA the device to Texas (Asus support RMA repair center of North America), to get Asus to either replace the battery all together or as Asus themselves puts it in their own words "We will most likely have to give you a refurbished device, as we really don't replace parts themselves, and it would be too costly to ship it overseas just to replace the battery sir." "We actually dont replace parts here" "We just fix parts or reinstall OS firmware when needed". So basically I purchased a brand new phone from Amazon for around $460 at the time of purchase. and its suppose to be a brand new phone. The product malfunction is the fault of the manufacture and not of the customer. And Asus is going to give me back a used previously broken device that's from someone else's RMA problems to me, after I spent $460 dollars on my what is suppose to be a "brand new device", I worked hard to save and purchase ?.. Also due note, ZenFone 2 Deluxe (Special Edition) has only been release to the public around March of 2015. - My actual device is stamped being manufactured on December 2015. And already Asus has "Discontinued" the device on all online store platforms. Yup, you heard right, Asus already discontinued the smartphone device. I purchased the device 4 months prior to them having it discontinued. So already a device I spent $460 on is already discontinues and considered old. The only thing keeping my device afloat is its 7 month warranty that it has left on the device. I personally feel that I just purchased a discontinued device now and feel cheated out of $60 dollars of my hard earned money. Its bad enough that Asus takes forever to update their firmware as millions of people are constantly begging for update to Android v6.0 Marshmallow for almost 1 year now not to mention that Google just announced and even released Android v7 (N), but now making the device discontinued is just a huge slap in the face to everyone owning a ZenFone 2 Deluxe (special edition). Marcelove So, to resume: the phone has only good aspects, because "the not so good" chart has only personal preferences from David that not impact the usage of the phone (the bottom bezel doesn't need to be hold because you can put your pinkie at the bottom of the phone to stabilize it at your hand, if you drop the phone the front panel probably will shatter so the back is the least of your problem, loud audio from the internal speaker is the characteristic that really matter about sound on a smartphone and most of pre-installed apps can be unistalled) Edward G. I don't personally like stabilizing with my pinky, it feels too insecure and I'm used to having a bottom bezel. That's personal preference though. samoanbiscuit I own a Zenfone 1, even with the hardware improvements, I will not be getting another ASUS phone. ZenUI changes too much with Android, and ASUS isn't anywhere close to Samsung or Sony's level when it come to software. Their Zen apps are terrible, their OS updates constantly break important 3rd party apps, and the stability of later updates is terrible. If they had just left it as AOSP and sold these devices, they would honestly be much better. ZenUI is too ambitious for a company that make decent hardware, but terrible software. jesuguru Not wanting excessive bloatware is hardly a "personal preference from David", much of which can apparently only be disabled not uninstalled. Starcube Ahh, the phones-screen-down-on-rocks tradition returns! Mmm, scratches. Edward G. Not a single one, thankfully! Starcube Rock is as hard or sometimes harder than glass - glass is made of sand, after all. If you touch rock to glass, there WILL be scratches on the glass, guaranteed. Perhaps not big, but there will be. It's physics. minakisora Haven't you heard of Gorilla Glass? Apparently not Starcube Do you even know how Gorilla Glass is made? It's still glass. It CAN scratch. Read up on some physics before posting. Edward G. If I need a microscope to see it, it doesn't bother me. Starcube But you don't. :) Starcube But you don't. :) José Leonardo As I ZF2 owner I did not recommend any Asus' phone to anyone. ZF2 is fast, it is a lot of RAM (4gb), but Asus is totally horrible about updates, I am not only referring about newer version of Android, but also about their own buggy software. ZF2 had countless updates but only to fix their own bugs, and after one thing fixed they used to broken more two (I am not kidding). That's why we had countless updates, but we are still using Android 5.0 (yes, 5.0 not 5.1). They promised Android M for 2Q and didn't realise it, now they even talk about a new date or something like this. Same happened when they promised Android 5.1, but after Google release Android M, they said they would skip 5.1 to realise M, which they broken their promise too. samoanbiscuit Totally agree, decent hardware screwed over by terrible software. Worse than Samsung in 2009. Edward G. I bought this with the expectation that it might never get N, or if it did that it almost definitely would not get O. To me it's a decent trade off at this price, and definitely one of the reasons I wouldn't have gotten the Deluxe. AsterMK I wouldn't expect software updates on a budget phone with specs like that. My Redmi Note 2 is also on 5.0.2, although it does have a Mediatek. I can't say it's been buggy though, other than the older Android version the software is solid. Do they at least push security patches? José Leonardo The last one was on May. I was expecting for updates since this had a good hardware and it was their flagship phone. AsterMK Well that's disappointing. I got July in the last update. What I meant to say is, with hardware like that, they probably saved some money on software support. ScoobyDoo Deluxe edition does not have the same updates as the Selfie or other models of ZF2. Which makes it even worse. The thing is I WAS going to buy the ZenPad 3 and ZenFone 3, but now im not.... I dont trust Asus and their shitty support. Im tired of everything about Asus. - 8 years ago I purchased a Asus motherboard for my home computer, 2 months of using it it blew on me, stopped working completely. I purchased a Gigabyte Motherboard and threw out the Asus motherboard, and Its still working today. im on it right now. Fast-Forward to 2016 I purchased ZenFone 2 Deluxe and I got screwed again. As of today, I will NEVER EVER purchase anything related to Asus ever. Brolin Empey If the motherboard failed only 2 months after purchasing it, why discard it instead of having it repaired or replaced under warranty (assuming you bought it new)? 0_o ScoobyDoo because they want me to pay $65 shipping fee. techpro2 weird all i use for pc is asus and never an issue. ScoobyDoo you're one of the lucky ones. there are millions of people in the same boat im in. cant trust Asus anymore. specially with phones. Going to purchase a Huawei phone next. Im done with Asus and their shitty phones and shitty customer service and shitty support and shitty products. Bermudan Option Idol 3 cost the same amount and managed to have updates luca020400 Never heard of cyanogenmod mate? José Leonardo Yes, I have. And I also have heard some bugs people are having using CM. Not in mood for that, at least now things are less worse on the stock Android. luca020400 Bugs like? Jorem https://wiki.cyanogenmod. org/w/Known_Issues_page_for_Z00A José Leonardo Thank you @disqus_T1psxcMoVV:disqus ;) Rod Loaded CM13 snapshot on a Galaxy S4 mini 4G. It keeps losing network signal, plus reboots randomly. Nancy Castro o. ✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤:::::::!be367p:.... ,.... Shrimasis Rout Hmm, actually its the intel cpu which is the problem. Two of my frnds own zenfone. A zenfone 2 and another a zenfone laser. The laser one never gave any problem but the intel one is surely buggy as hell. José Leonardo Seriously? If you take a look at Asus ZenFone Laser you'll probably change your mind. Mostly of all bugs on ZenFone 2 are present on ZenFone Laser also. Shrimasis Rout I have used both phones for a few times. The bugs I encountered with zenfone 2 were like, camera app freezing after taking a few shots, phone being freezed when receiving a call. I never saw any bug at all in the zenfone laser (snapdragon 615). Badelhas True. The Wifi and GPS on my friends Asus Zenfone Laser 2 is buggy and even Marshmallow didnt fix it. And I hate the bloat. I prefer the Alcatel Idol 3 4.7Inch, and its cheaper. José Leonardo @shrimasis:disqus should read it Shrimasis Rout Well, he is complaining about his zenfone 2. And I am sure there wont be any complaint from snapdragon zenfone users Shrimasis Rout Hmm, I will ask my frnd who owns zenfone laser if he faced any problem with his phone. jay This has been my exact experience. minakisora You have to understand that they are using x86 processors and there has been a lot of problems in coding even the custom roms found online. Hopefully they get better since now they'd be using a snapdragon processor. José Leonardo Haven't you read what other people and I said? It is nothing about x86 processors, even their Snapdragon phones have the same issues that ZN2 has. Michael Biagioni It's missing band 12 Edward G. This is the Taiwan model. I'm not sure if it's common to have different bands in different countries, but that might explain it. Michael Biagioni Edward, Your info. is correct, I'm in the U.S. using At t https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/specifications/ "US/BR version: 3G: WCDMA: Band: 1/2/4/5/8 4G: FDD: Band: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/17/28" Gabriel James DeFlorio Where did you purchase it? I'm in the US and while I already have Xiaomi mi5. I like the atheistics of this phone much more and I'm trying to purchase one. Michael Biagioni http://www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?sid=91089490 cat=P-SMARTPH search=zenfone%203 Gabriel James DeFlorio I was hoping to not have to pay the $100 extra expansys wants. But looks like I might have to. Lord Obama I would advise against ordering anything from expansysm they sent me the wrong phone and took a long time to get my money back. Gabriel James DeFlorio Ehh, nothing a fraud claim filed with your cardholder can't take care of. That'll get anyone moving to send your money back. But thanks for the concern. TriguyRN Ah so we're doing Verge style number reviews now? ;) David Ruddock Our reviewers are free to use or not use them, it's a personal choice. Jeff Beck Some of us just never learned to count so we skip the number part. At leest I spell gud. Bryan Breguet Shouldn't a website have some sort of consistency for reviews? Bob LaRosa After a year with the ZenFone 2, I've decided to go back to a mainstream phone and ordereda Galaxy S7. Tired of waiting for updates and the last straw the spring in the SIM card slot became loose, resulting in a SIM card error. Gary Put a small piece of plastic sheet on top of the SIM card so that it fits tight. Sk I think, If one has 3GB or 4GB of RAM in his phone, then why bother about default UI, Zen UI in this case? Just install a third party launcher and then forget the Zen UI. It is the beauty of Android that we can customize our phone as we wish. Secondly, when you can either uninstall and disable default apps, those apps will not be the reason of your headache anymore. Once you are sure about craps included in the handset and then act accordingly, you will feel happy due to the performance of our phone. No Phone Manufacturer sell their device withoutthose apps which we consider as bloatware. What I can't understand is that, when Play Store is available for all and it's free, all of the apps are available there, then Why do phone manufacturers bother about pushing those bloatware? If they refrain from doing so, then we can get more and more precious inbuilt storage free. Rod Launcher only replaces the homescreen, mate. Avery Holder After owning a plastic backed phone, I think I'm willing to sacrifice the removable backing for glass back with a case. I've had my Samsung Galaxy S5 for almost two years, although due to water damage I had to have it replaced a couple months ago. The first S5 cracked along the edge in the plastic backing and I think it eventually led to a small hole in my phone. The second S5 cracked in the exact same place, less than a couple months in. I'm not a special use case, I'm not abusing the phone. Sometimes it has a case on it, and others it doesn't, but I'm not constantly dropping the phone or doing anything that should cause damage. On top of that, the plastic backing has three little gouges in the back now, from where my phone was carried around by a puppy. I sat the phone down for a minute and go do something, come back and find the dog carrying it. There was no damage to the front glass, but now there are teeth marks in my phone. Here I come glass backing! Charles Zimmerman Yeah well wait until puppy gets a hold of your new glass backed phone. Avery Holder Didn't even scratch the front glass on this phone, I doubt it'll do anything to the glass on the back. Avery Holder Doubt it'll even scratch it. It certainly didn't scratch the front glass when it's picked it up the first time, just the plastic backing. Mike P Good day Mr. G, so i was thinking and would be glad for some advise, well Im not a big fan of big screens as well. Right now Im using Sony Xperia Z5 compact, yeah softkeys :) as Im typing this lol. So I was thinking of selling this device and get Zenfone 3 with 5.2in screen, and which will even get me some extra cash, do you think that will be a good idea? And how fast is Snapdragon 625 compared to 810? I was trying to look for some benchmarks on your reviews but there arent. TIA! Edward G. Good day Mr. P! I am not huge on benchmarks - I prefer "perceived experience" - but, since you asked: AndroBench: SEQ RD 280.2 / WR 201.43 RND RD 19733.74 / WR 2009.76 SQLite INS 81.52 / UPD 78.29 / DEL 84.65 Geekbench: Single-core 915 Multi-core 5022 AnTuTu: 3D 12774 (Marooned 7767, Garden 5007) UX 22965 CPU 19752 RAM 5482 TOT 60973 HTML5 18352 Battery: No "official" benchmarks but 3 days in a row of 40% remaining at 6 hours screen on time, so far. No idea if you should trade in your Z5 compact. I think that screen is a tiny bit small for my taste... I liked the 5" size in the hand, but wanted a bigger screen - it's a trade off. Overall I'm happy with the 5.5" screen and will get used to the size, I suppose. Badelhas The bloat kills it for me Charles Zimmerman The bloat really wouldn't matter much if battery life comes as advertised. Edward G. I will update the post soon with my battery experience, but just FYI I'm currently on day 3 of ~40% remaining at ~6 hours screen on time. So far, so good. Michael Biagioni Do you have a battery saver mode on or any other battery saving tricks you are using? demarcmj $200-300 is still a lot for an off-brand mid-range device when you can get used-but-in-great-condition previous-year flagships for around $200 (or sometimes less). Heck, you can sometimes find brand-new previous-year flagships for around $200. Edward G. This phone will be $200 in a few months, for sure. Also, ASUS is not at all an "off-brand" device. It may be a relative latecomer to smartphones, but definitely not an off-brand. Especially not in Taiwan. For comparison, Taiwan Mobile (a medium sized telecom company here) makes their own smartphones for like $80. Those things are off-brand. Michael Biagioni It's already on ebay for as low as $309 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40 _trksid=p2050601. m570.l1313. TR10.TRC2.A0.H0.Xzenfone+3.TRS2 _nkw=zenfone+3 _sacat=0 Richard_Evans I can't wait to buy one. I think it's a bargain, even at $300 for the 5.5" model. Included is a certified High Res audio player. A stand alone High Res player with 24 bit/192k oversampling will cost you $300. The camera is great too with the Sony IMX298 CMOS sensor. Manufacturers set a lowest advertised price and it pretty much stays there until the product is set to be replaced by a newer model. Take the Zenfone 2 laser for instance. Retail is $250 and 8-9 months after it's introduction it's still $230. Maybe there will be a sale in a few months but if $50 makes that much of a difference then maybe you should skip cell phones altogether because the service plan will be more than you can afford. Stephen Did you actually USE the original Zenfone, or just read a few people slagging it off online and join in with the sheep. Still using my ZenFone 5 after nearly 2 years now - nope, never been "almost too hot to hold". Nope, never had any problem whatsoever with "unresponsive UI". Oh wait your FRIENDS bought one...oh well now that qualifies you then, eh. Well done. Build quality was actually one of the things it was renowned for too. Just so you're a bit more clued up for the next time you revert to mentioning something you have no first-hand experience of. Jake You know, I may be in the minority here, but my Intel powered ZF2 has not given me any issues. To be fair I only bought it because Cyanogenmod was available and it had good specs for the price, with no intentions of keeping it stock Sheldon Sir does it have fast charging and nfc? Richard_Evans No and no. I don't care about NFC and fast charging, while convenient greatly shortens the battery life. That's an issue now that most phones don't have user replaceable batteries. Harold Josevich I have a 5 hour layover in Taiwan next week. I hope there are stores in the airport that sell them or any store near the international airport Noto Utomo Should be possible, I bought an HTC One E8 when it was first released at the Taipei airport a couple years ago. Should be a slight discount from the list price at the duty free electronics shop. Harold Josevich OMG! thank you! will definitely look for it tony sanchez Don't buy an asus phone. You will pay the price twice, they will not support their flagship. Update the bottom tier and leave the top tier out to dry. Phone is buggy as he'll. Better off with a lower tier Samsung phone. Their phones don't do anything well. This company has no business in the market with their customer service and failure to back their product. mark gatdula Every time i turn on my Touch gesture (double tap) my phone's screen doesn't stop on turning on and off, am i the only one who's experiencing this? my phone is zenfone 3max 5.2.
