Its companion Zenfone 3 Deluxe uses a Super AMOLED display. I would certainly tell that if Zenfone 3 used an AMOLED display, the results would even more surprising.

If we talk about the pricing, Zenfone 3 is available at ₹21,999 while the Chinese flagships such as Xiaomi Mi 5 and LeEco Le Max 2 are very close competitors offering more performance and features with similar price. Having said that specifications is not the only thing to see while seeing the prices, it’s the overall experience with the device that matters at the end.
