Asus Zenfone 6
The Asus Zenfone 6 is a mid-range phablet that is positioning itself to be friendlier to a consumer’s wallets than other high-end phablets available right now.
For the price, one might expect to see some cut corners, but it's actually powered by a 2 GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor and a PowerVR 544MP2 graphics processor. Together with 2 GB of RAM, these ensure a smooth experience. You won't face problems running most applications except some extremely high-end games and multitasking will be a breeze.
It comes out of the box with 4.3 Jellybean and is upgradeable to 4.4 KitKat. Storage is 16 GB with microSD support up to 64 GB. So, space will definitely not be a problem. The 13 MP rear camera is pretty solid for this budget and with its selfie mode, you can take selfies with the rear camera as it detects as many as four faces. The front camera is 2 MP and you won’t be using it much with the rear camera’s selfie mode.
A 3300 mAh battery supplies the energy for the components. It is more than sufficient for a full day of web browsing, gaming, calling and media playback. The Zenfone 6 is definitely a good option for those seeking a phablet but are not willing to fork out the money for higher end devices. It holds up more than admirably against them.

Design for a small price. This was Asus' goal for the Zenfone 6, a 6-inch phablet with HD resolution, bright IPS touchscreen, a powerful Intel Atom dual-core SoC, as well as 16 GB flash storage for a fair price of 279 Euros (~$353, RRP). The combination looks promising.

On the whole we were very impressed with the Asus ZenFone 6. It is very affordable for the size and has potential to meet a new niche in the market. Solid everyday performance, despite lagging behind in the benchmarks, means the ZenFone can keep up with everything you throw at it. On top of this is the sleek design which fits the display and home buttons into a relatively small space.

The ZenFone 6 offers a good screen and camera. It's multimedia performance as well as the UI are great. What's more, the phone's build quality is solid. So if you don't mind lugging around, go for the Zenfone 6. Those who know the fact that bigger is not better in terms of mobiles, should rather consider the Zenfone 5.

The ZenFone 6 is not going to appeal to everyone. It really is huge, so it's not the most portable of smartphones, but if you're ok with that you're going to benefit from a brilliant device for watching TV and movies on the commute. If it's playing games you're most keen on, you might need to look elsewhere as the ZenFone 6 isn't he most powerful of options, but for £250 you'll get a good-looking phablet with satisfactory specs, an impressive camera and a really nice user interface.

The question of whether you should buy the Asus Zenfone 6 needs to be countered with another: are you sure you really need or want the Zenfone 6? We’re not trying to dissuade you from upgrading your phone, but are you sure you want a 6-inch one? Even the leap from a 5.5-inch phone is significant. And while we got used to the Zenfone 6’s size, we found the phone often ending up in a bag rather than a pocket because of its sheer size.

We generally like our phablets to come packing a Full HD screen for maximum movie enjoyment, or some kind of creative features to justify the bloody enormous display. The Asus Zenfone 6 doesn’t come with a stylus or any arty features to speak of, but it can boast one of the cheapest price tags of any phablets out there.

The Zenfone 6 is basically a 6 inch version of the Zenfone 5. But while the Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 5 both justify their price, the Zenfone 6 doesn't. Asus has gone overboard with the size and not given the device the power to match it.

Asus has managed to create a phablet that boasts of good hardware components, good build quality, and decent camera performance. Most importantly, it costs less than many of good phablets which cost the same or even significantly more, including the Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, HTC Desire 816 and Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. Both the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual and Desire 816 are priced above Rs. 20,000 while the Grand 2 costs slightly less than Rs. 20,000 now.

Asus Zenfone 5
The Asus Zenfone 5 runs with a dual core platform. With a clock rate of 1,6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, it is relatively powerful. This chip delivers better performance than the usual Snapdragon 400 SoC, which is used for phones within this phone budget. The 5-inch HD IPS display with corning Gorilla Glass looks and feels sturdy. Thanks to Corning Gorilla glass, this phone is scratch resistant.
It is available in black, white, red, purple and gold. The capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 1280x720 and 16M colors. It delivers vivid colors and the IPS technology also promises good viewing angles.
The phone features Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and Zen UI, which is one of the better user interfaces added on top of the android system. It also features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera. The phone has a 2100 mAh battery that can easily last a day. It can last for up to 353 hours on standby and 18 hours talk time, both with 3G activated.
The Zenfone 5 is available with a storage capacity of 8 GB or 16 GB. It can be expanded via microSD slot, which can carry up to 64 GB. Unfortunately, this phone may suffer from occasional heating issues when used for prolonged periods due to its Intel processor.

It is as resourceful as the Sony Xperia T3 (which is more expensive), and costs as much as the Motorola Moto G, famous for its excellent price point.

The Asus Zenfone 5 is nicely-designed budget phone with a cool user interface, a plethora of storage options and a reasonable price to boot. However our enthusiasm is hobbled by the fact that the battery is rubbish - and it’s not replaceable, a cardinal sin.

Power users may find the relatively low-end processor and middling battery life limiting, but otherwise the value of the Asus Zenfone 5 is undeniable. A 4G phone with a decent 5in screen and solid performance all for £200 is rare. The Zenfone 5 sets a standard that is unlikely to be matched by the biggest names such as Samsung and Sony this year.

If you are not concerned about 4G or being a version behind on the software, the ZenFone 5 is very easy to recommend. It is a very compelling package having a great screen, decent camera, good performance and a nice software skin. The only device that comes close is the Moto G. Asus should have released the ZenFone 5 eight months ago. Had Asus done that, it might have propelled it to the top of the mid-range Android class. As it is, Asus misses out not by having a weak device, instead it is the timing that seems wrong.

The Asus Zenfone 5 offers much of the experience of a phone that, until recently, would have cost twice the price. However, its main competitor, the pocket-pleasing Moto G (2014), does make it tough for the Asus to truly stand out. If Asus were to add a better battery, boost the maximum screen brightness then this phone would be a step ahead. Even so, if you're on a budget then it's definitely one to check out. As a first stab at making a mainstream phone, the Asus Zenfone 5 is a fine effort.

We really like the ZenFone 5. From its design and battery life to its software and price tag, this smartphone has got a lot going for it. However, it's well worth checking whether Motorola's Moto G is a better choice for you, as it could save you a bit of money but provide very similar features, including an 8Mp camera, a 294ppi 5in IPS screen and a microSD slot (though it only adds up to 32GB).

After the searing disappointment of the Asus Zenfone 4, the Zenfone 5 is a real relief. It’s better in almost every respect, and easily merits the extra cash. It's an excellent phone in most respects, and should help put Asus on the map as a phone-maker to watch out for if you want a good-value phone. For now it’s a pretty good alternative to the Motorola Moto G if you want a slightly larger screen. If that sounds like you, stick it on your shortlist. There are a couple of little bits to tweak in the Asus Zenfone 5, but the value on offer here is fantastic. Other 5-inch phones at the price don’t get you screens anywhere near as good as this.

In our books, that seems like unbeatable value when you consider its rich feature-set and good all-round performance. It’s really hard to fault the Zenfone 5 as it doesn’t really stumble much in any department. The Moto G seems to have met its match, finally!

The Asus Zenfone 5 is good enough value in other aspects of the package that it could be worth overlooking any issues with the camera and battery life. Its size and price is relatively unique, with its competitors either costing more, having inferior specifications in other areas, or packing smaller displays. If you’re after a 5.0-inch smartphone with decent hardware at the lowest possible cost, the Zenfone 5 will likely suit your needs.

It’s really hard to fault the Zenfone 5 as it doesn’t really stumble much in any department. The Moto G seems to have met its match, finally!

If Asus puts a smart price tag on the ZenFone 5, then it could give the Moto G a run for its money. It offers a good looking design and respectable performance capability. There are many other reliable brands out there in the market, and Asus has done a good job with the Zenfone 5. But having said that, it will have to do a lot more if it wants to give the other brands tough competition. The smartphone is not a bad choice if you are aiming for a mid-ranged device with a decent performance package and design, but quite honestly, there is room for improvement.

The Asus ZenFone 5 packs a punch with its screen and solid build quality. It's pretty impressive for a mid-range phone. However, we would like to wait for the price to be announced officially before commenting on the overall value for money. One thing is for sure, if the ZenFone 5 is priced between Rs. 10,000 and 15,000, it will be compared to the popular Moto G and could be a pretty good alternative for those who prefer large screens.

O Zenfone 5 está R$ 100 mais caro do que o seu antecessor (com o pagamento à vista) ou R$ 150 a mais (a prazo). Ou seja, você precisa desembolsar R$ 1.999 ou R$ 2.249. É uma baita grana, dá para fazer bastante coisa com dois mil reais, mas esse é o ponto em que chegamos: um celular que não pode ser considerado topo de linha custa isso aí, seja ele da Asus, da Motorola ou da Samsung.
Positive: Nice display; long battery life; large screen.

Asus Zenfone 4
The ZenFone 4 is Asus’ latest flagship mid-range smartphone. Featuring an attractive design, above-average camera, and reasonably good battery life, the ZenFone 4 is Asus’ finest phone to date and will meet 99% of people’s needs. It follows the same mixed-material strategy as the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8, featuring a Gorilla Glass 4 front and back and metal sides. The device feels solid in the hand and the glass is not terribly slippery even when wet. It also ticks all the right boxes when it comes to functionality. On the front, users will find a fingerprint scanner, which although not the fastest around, works well enough. A bog-standard USB-C charging port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack sit on the bottom side. The 64 GB of internal storage will meet most users' needs, and the inclusion of a microSD card makes it easy enough to add further space if required. Under the hood, the Asus ZenFone 4 is powered by an octa-core, 1.4 GHz, Cortex A53 processor paired with 4 GB of RAM. With this hardware specification, multi-tab web browsing runs smoothly and the ZenFone 4 can stream video and music without issue. The ZenFone runs the latest Android Nougat 7.1 software overlaid with the Asus ZenUI skin. An update to Oreo has been confirmed. Asus has completely reworked Nougat’s settings menu, loading it with more customization options that can easily be counted. Some, such as Splendid, or the ability to create custom audio profiles are useful. The display of the smartphone is a 5.5-inch 1080p FHD resolution screen. Some people may bemoan the fact that Asus did not take the step up to QHD, but the fact remains that for most people FHD will be more than good enough. A user will struggle to spot individual pixels, and text and icons are universally sharp. The Asus Splendid screen technology made it easy to manually adjust the ZenFone 4’s screen temperature. The ZenFone features a dual-lens rear camera that combines a 12-megapixel Sony IMX362 image sensor with a secondary 8-megapixel, 120-degree wide-angle lens. The setup is similar in strategy to that of the Galaxy S8, and a marked departure from most competing, mid-range dual-lens systems such as the Honor 9. Such devices use a mixed RGB and monochrome sensor setup. Asus claims the ZenFone’s setup enables the phone to take “five times brighter and clearer photos in low light” and offers a “200% larger” field of view than competing handsets. As far as the battery is concerned, it uses 3000 mAh model. Standby times are excellent as, unlike many flagships with skins, Android’s Doze feature does its stuff on the ZenFone 4. Doze is a nifty battery-saving feature that intelligently shuts down non-essential processes when the phone is not used for a prolonged period. As a result, the ZenFone 4 loses only around 1-3% of its charge overnight. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

ASUS’ newest ZenFone 4 is a big step up from the previous iteration in terms of performance, design and camera. Despite just having a mid-range Snapdragon 660 processor, the phone is still able to deliver flagship-level performance without having to sacrifice battery longevity.

What really stands out with the Zenfone 4 is the quality of the build. This is a good looking phone, in many ways similar to the sort of thing we've been seeing from Honor over the past 12 months. With that in mind, the Honor 9 is likely to be this phone's biggest competitor and with a £379 price tag on the Honor 9, you can see that Asus has its work cut out for it.

There's certainly a lot to like about the ZenFone 4, and it's easily the most complete package Asus has ever released over on UK shores, but I wonder if it does enough to truly challenge the similarly-priced competition.

No, I’m not telling you to wait for Zenfone V, that’d be ridiculous. But wait, there’s more! Personally, I find that ASUS gave the Zenfone 4 a love-it-or-hate-it relationship with their obvious focus on their mid-range contenders, the Zenfone 4 Selfie and Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro. The features it has not necessarily outweigh one another, but it would have been really great if ASUS retails this for below $500.

ASUS certainly did not let down with their mainstream flagship device, the titular character of the Zenfone 4 lineup. With its premium and classy design, up to date internals, Super IPS display, and good camera performance, the ASUS Zenfone 4 is certainly worthy of representing an entire series of smartphones.

On the whole, the ASUS ZenFone 4 is a decent little phone. It doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but it doesn’t try to. What it tries to be is a dependable budget phone, and it mostly succeeds. The display works fine. Granted, it’s not the vivid display on the iPhone 5s, though they may be the same size – but the ZenFone is a whole lot cheaper. ZenUI, too, remains sleek and simple, though slightly more fiddly due to the smaller screen.

If you’re looking for a budget blower, don’t waste your money on this - save up a teeny bit more and grab yourself the latest Moto G or even the Moto E. Its paltry display, bulky build and muddy resolution doesn’t do it any favours, and you’re better off spending your cash on something with a bit more quality.

The Asus Zenfone 4 packs lots of features into a tiny package. But the budget price means that the phone has cut corners, which is evident in the low-resolution display and underpowered processor and camera. Yet, there’s lots to like about the Zenfone 4: the design and the build quality is one of the best we’ve seen on a budget phone, it’s simple to use and basic functions run smoothly. It also lets you boost the storage with the SD card slot. If you are cash-strapped, looking for an Android phone that provides good value for money, the Zenfone 4 is one of the best phones you can buy at the moment. Though not all, it checks most boxes to be a solid budget smartphone. However, if you need a slightly better display and battery life then go for the Moto E.

For £99, we're impressed by the ZenFone 4. It's nicely designed, has brilliant software features, is suitably speedy and has decent battery life, but it's not outstanding. We'd like to see a slightly better camera and the addition of 4G connectivity. We'd suggest checking out the EE Kestrel and the Motorola Moto G 2014 as alternatives to the ZenFone 4, but it's certainly a worthy contender and we think you'll be satisfied if you decide to go with this good budget smartphone.

The Asus Zenfone 4 is a sound first try at a phone for the masses. However, there are just a few too many problems for it to be a really great alternative to the several great £100 phones out there. It’s not really a case of missing features, much as we’d like to see 4G in the Zenfone 4. It’s more that the poor battery life and uninspiring screen mean the phone doesn’t really stack up against either the Motorola Moto G, or the cheaper Moto E.

The Zenfone 4's screen is pretty bad but nearly everything else is outstanding. We're particularly impressed with the device's camera capabilities. Full HD video recording is pretty neat, and it's nice to have a front camera - more so one that isn't terrible! We're looking forward to the A450CG revision which has a totally different screen and have high hopes that Asus will improve on this phone's one weakness.

Asus ZenFone 5 LTE
The affordable Asus ZenFone series gains another member in the form of the Zenfone 5 LTE. The overall design is similar to the normal ZenFone 5, which is simple and understated. The entire phone is made of plastics, except for a concentric metal strip at the bottom bezel and metal buttons on the sides of the phone. The plastic back portion can be switched to a different color if the user so chooses. The 5 inch LCD IPS display is 1280 x 720 pixels with a pixel density of 320 ppi. The screen has a good range of bright colors but its brightness is not as high as some of its costlier counterparts, making it slightly difficult to view under very bright and glaring sunlight. The display panel is also covered with Gorilla Glass 3. One major difference the ZenFone 5 LTE has is the presence of a Quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, with 2 GB RAM and a spacious internal storage of 16 GB. The processor is combined with a 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU. Additionally, it uses the newer Android 4.4 KitKat with Zen UI. The phone also comes with two cameras, an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. Compared to the other members of the ZenFone series, this particular phone seems to be fitted with the best options and specifications so far.Specifications

The Asus Zenfone 5 offers much of the experience of a phone that, until recently, would have cost twice the price. However, its main competitor, the pocket-pleasing Moto G (2014), does make it tough for the Asus to truly stand out. If Asus were to add a better battery and boost the maximum screen brightness then this phone would be a step ahead. Even so, whether you choose the 3G or 4G LTE model, if you're on a budget then it's definitely one to check out.

Regardless of some weaknesses, ASUS’ ZenFone C can be defined as one of the best models in this price range. It would be better to see an IPS panel in order to provide better viewing angles, or to get better results on the battery endurance tests, but on the other hand the Intel CPU is a good indicator. The PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU provides rarely seen graphics performance in this class matching the scores of Snapdragon 400/410 and the Adreno 305/306 GPUs commonly used in smartphones with double the ZenFone C’s price tag.

In the price sensitive budget market, the Zenfone C has basically been squeezed in to increase the company’s product portfolio. I would much rather save Rs. 1,000 and buy the Zenfone 4 instead, because the smaller display isn’t a big compromise. In this day and age, if I’m going to spend anything above Rs. 5,000, then I want a much better device. This is the same thing I had written for the Asus Zenfone 6 earlier, which was basically the Zenfone 5 with a bigger display and a much higher price tag. You would get a better buy not only in the Zenfone 4, but also in the higher priced Lenovo A6000 and new Moto E.

The ZenFone C is somewhat of an update to the ZenFone 4, but isn't very different from it in many ways. The larger screen is nice to have, but even so, Asus will have to do a lot more to be competitive as others release newer and more capable products. The Xiaomi Redmi 1S is still the class leader, though its highly restricted availability leaves a lot of room for companies such as Asus to be successful. If you think the ZenUI might be too confusing, there are also plenty of stock Android One devices in the market at this price level.

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML
The Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML is beautiful and modern and fits nicely in the hand while delivering the performance to match. Edges are ultra-thin at just 3.9 mm making the smartphone look seamless while the edges are nicely rounded for superior ergonomics. The entire back panel provides a good texture to grip on and also gives a premium look to the smartphone. At the back of the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML are intuitive rear controls which aids in snapping selfies and adjusting the volume. There are several colors to choose from; osmium black, sheer gold, glacier grey, glamor red and ceramic white. The Android 5.0 Lollipop device comes with an Intel Atom quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, a PowerVR G6430 GPU and multiple internal storage options ranging from 16 GB to 64 GB. The 5.5 inch IPS display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. There is a 13 MP autofocus dual-LED primary camera and a secondary front-facing 5 MP shooter. Other features on the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML consist of Bluetooth 4.0, FM radio with RDS, A-GPS and USB host. Battery life on the smartphone is impressive with a non-removable Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 3000 mAh.Specifications

4 GB of RAM! We all knew it was inevitable, but it's finally here -- the first major consumer smartphone with 4 GB dual-channel DDR3 RAM. Not only that, but it can also be had for just $300. Is this 5.5-inch monster enough to lure users away from popular Chinese brands like the OnePlus One?

Since we’re nearing the end of the review and I still haven’t touched on the ZenFone 2’s camera, I’ll do that now. During the time I’ve had with the phone, I didn’t put too much emphasis on photo snapping simply because it became obvious quick that this phone’s camera isn’t going to impress too many people. Yet again, I have to pull the “What else do you expect from a $200 phone?” trick out of my hat.

Asus Zenfone2 presents a good overall package with high performance numbers. But the excessive bloatware can be a concern for many buyers. While Asus may think it is adding value for its users, not everyone likes unnecessary software shoved down their throats. The least Asus can do is give the option to uninstall unwanted apps. We all know how Samsung has cut down on its bloatware significantly in recent times. The good thing though is that despite the heavy skinning the responsiveness of the phone isn’t affected thanks to 4GB of RAM.

The Asus Zenfone 2 is not a smartphone you fall in love with at first sight. And yet, it’s one of the best midrange phones around, with remarkable battery life, a great screen, and powerful processors that can do anything you’d ask of your mobile. Between the two versions, I’d recommend the cheaper one—the low cost and huge battery easily make it one of the most interesting devices in the under-$200 price range.

In terms of specs, the Zenfone 2 has a lot to flaunt over its predecessor. The variant we reviewed comes with 4 GB RAM and a powerful processor. Screen resolution has also gone up. However, its 13 megapixel camera doesn't live up to the expectations. As far as the fit and finish go, I prefer the Zenfone 5 over the new phone.

I know people have given Asus a tough time for the bloatware situation on the ZenFone 2, but it shouldn't dismiss the fact that from a performance and daily use standpoint, the phone is an incredible value at $200. The $300 model may be tempting, but consider that the $100 difference is a 50% upsell, and you may not even need the extra RAM or clock speed. The base model is what I would get if I needed a new phone mid-upgrade cycle, or broke my on-contract phone. I don't think it's going to change how Samsung, LG, and Sony price their flagships, but the Asus ZenFone 2 should put into perspective what kind of hardware you can get at a great off-contract price.

As I mentioned earlier, there are two versions of this phone: a $200 variant with 2GB of RAM and a $300 variant with 4GB of RAM. My experience with the 4GB variant was relatively positive—enough that I feel like the ZenFone 2 is worth its $300 price tag right off the lot. It’s an unlocked phone with dual SIMs and a memory expansion slot, in addition to 64GB of storage. It supports a large library of LTE bands around the world, so you’re covered almost anywhere you go with the ZenFone 2 in tow. And you can swap out those back covers and personalize the phone the way you see fit.

As far as mid-range phones go, the Moto G still succeeds for its fantastic front-facing stereo speakers and clean near-stock Android interface, but if you’re looking for something a little more powerful with a slightly better camera, the ZenFone 2 is worth considering.

Even though ASUS isn’t renown with its mobile devices, we are sure that the Taiwanese company is on the right track. ASUS’ flagship smartphone might be missing some key features that are present in today’s top-tier handsets like the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 and etc. However, the hardware, design, the Zen UI, and performance can easily match each and every one of the competitors out there. Practically, you get a smartphone with great battery life, appealing design, good screen quality for a price that matches a typical upper-mid-ranger.

I was extremely impressed with the Zenfone 2 overall, and after a couple of weeks of constant use I find that I could easily make this my daily driver. From the snappy processor to the fantastic touchscreen (with an excellent IPS display panel under it), it's a pleasure to use. The phone looks good with its understated style, and the ASUS ZenUI elements were pretty unobtrusive and added some nice functionality. The camera is only average, though it has a very effective low-light option that made a considerable difference in real-world use.

The ZenFone 2 isn't as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S6 nor the HTC One M9, but it's also half as expensive. When you consider the value proposition (or bang for your buck, as it were), it's hard to really knock Asus' latest. While it occasionally falls a little short on the benchmarking front, we're reaching an time where scores matter a little less, and real-world experience matters a lot more.

If you're in the market for a new phone, you've got a data plan with AT&T, T-Mobile USA, or any other GSM-based network, and you're upgrading from a phone that's a couple years old or older, the ASUS ZenFone 2 is a SOLID choice. Especially at this price range - anywhere from $199 to $299 for a device that's unlocked and ready to roll - that's a real rarity in today's smartphone market.

Asus is smart for attacking the entry-level segment of the market, as opposed to breaking into the high-end, which means tangling against some of the juggernauts floating about right now. Spending an intimate amount of time with the Zenfone 2, we’re confident that this is the kind of phone that grows on you over time. Initially, the design didn’t particularly win us over, but the more we use the phone and absorb all of its rich features, that’s when we truly realize its potential.

But of all those, the ZenFone 2 is definitely the most audacious. For one of the first-ever 4GB smartphones to also hit store shelves with one of the lowest price tags is almost revolutionary. What’s more, the amped-up specs actually make it a more enjoyable phone to use. This device packs responsiveness, customizability, and tons of features into an absurdly potent hardware package, and it throws in a pretty good camera to boot. For a power-hungry pragmatist on a budget, you’d be hard pressed to find a better option than the ASUS ZenFone 2. And in a broader sense, it’ll be interesting to see how other smartphone manufacturers cope with the new reality that products like this are ushering in.

It's quite surprising that Asus is not making efforts to push the 2GB RAM variant of the Zenfone 2. The device, with its new Intel processor, performs better than any other sub-15k smartphone, and though the phone has a few weaknesses, it's without a doubt the best buy below 15k right now as long as you don't mind the generous form factor.

Throughout the course of this review you may have noticed that I often compared the ZenFone 2 to high end smartphones like the Galaxy S6, the iPhone 5s and 6, the LG G3, etc. You may have felt that it was unfair to do so, as those smartphones will cost anywhere between two and four times as much as the ZenFone 2 depending on which model of each device you are comparing.

Asus crammed more RAM into its phone than any company before, and its Intel Atom CPU smokes other midrange unlocked phones like the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 and OnePlus One. Its removable back plate adds both style (with additional colors and designs) and substance (with access to the microSD and dual SIM card slots). I also appreciate some of the software features Asus included, such as ZenUI Launcher, gesture control and PC Link.

The Zenfone 2 is a very nice device for the money, but this causes a bit of problem – what sort of money? Which version should you buy, and in which region? It’s a tricky question and the answer depends on where you live and whether or not you need 4GB of RAM. The Zenfone 2 is still not available in all markets, but if you really want one, you can order it online. Personally, I feel the T3560/4GB model, which the Fudzilla team tested, hits the sweet spot.

It’s all about pricing with the Asus Zenfone 2. For a price-tag of 20k, this phone would be a really good buy. The performance is what you buy this phone for and irrespective of the flaws in the design, it's a minor mistep for an affordable flagship. There's a lot going for the Zenfone 2 and it would make for a good buy. It’s no ordinary Zenfone and while you do compromise a bit on the battery and a lot on the camera, Asus can justify that with the right pricing. If you’re looking for good performance in an affordable smartphone, then this will be one of the phones to go for. If you want a very good camera, then the OnePlus One and Xiaomi Mi4 should take precedence.

The 5.5-inch display is not overly bright, but puts out great colors and the FullHD resolution is still plenty sharp at this diagonal. Battery endurance isn't anything special but the Zenfone 2 still manages two and a half days overall and screen on-times are around the 8-hour mark. That is, if you refrain from using Asus' own browser, which kills the battery in no time.

The Asus Zenfone is technically a mid-range smartphone, but it certainly doesn’t act or feel like one. Things aren’t particularly different or unique in terms of design, and the inspiration from existing devices is obvious, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and the build quality is definitely solid. It’s made of plastic like its predecessors, but the phone doesn’t feel cheap in the hand and is very well put together.

The 5.5-inch display is not overly bright, but puts out great colors and the FullHD resolution is still plenty sharp at this diagonal.

There is a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with Asus's PixelMaster technology and a 5-megapixel front camera as well. Due to limitations at the media preview, we were unable to test the camera in optimal lighting conditions. However, images taken with the ZenFone 2 in low light seemed sharp even when zoomed in. We will reserve our judgement on the handset's camera for our full review.

We managed to run some benchmarks on the two flavors of the flagship Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. The more powerful version runs on the Intel Atom Z3580 SoC with a quad-core 2.3GHz processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The lesser model utilizes the Intel Atom Z3560 chip with a quad-core 1.83GHz processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU and 2GB of RAM.

Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL
With selfies being recognized as a trend that is here to stay for a while, Asus has also recognized the importance of easily capturing self-portraits on a mobile device. The Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL is a smartphone designed with two high-quality cameras. Asus has placed emphasis on ergonomics with an arc design to enable easy gripping and the installation of a rear button certainly helps with operating the front-facing camera. There are 3 colours to choose from; pure white, chic pink or aqua blue. The Android 5.0 Lollipop device comes with a 5 inch Full HD display panel with Corning Glass protecting the beautiful screen. On-board is an octa core processor in the form of 2 Cortex-A53 quad-core processors, either 2 GB or 3 GB RAM, and 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage. The main drawing point of the Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL is the front and rear cameras, featuring a 13 MP auto focus PixelMaster sensor each. Other features on the device are Bluetooth 4.0, microSD support, dual-SIM support and A-GPS. The 170 g Asus ZenFone Selfie ZD551KL comes with a 3000 mAh Li-Polymer battery, which should satisfy the most hard-core selfie-centric user.Specifications

Two cameras. Selfies are more popular than ever, which is why Asus now sells a matching smartphone. The ZenFone Selfie is equipped with two 13 MP cameras, so is it the perfect smartphone for self-portraits?

The Asus Zenfone Selfie isn't too quiet about what it tries to be - a smartphone for taking photos of yourself. With 13 megapixels front and back it sure has nailed the numbers game and the dual-tone dual-LED flash makes it a one-of-a-kind offering. OK, second of its kind, but still a rare breed.

Judging from the information, which we’ve gathered so far, we can say that we’re impressed by the performance of both 13MP cameras and the quality of the sample shots. Their menus are full of settings and shooting modes, so you can spend a lot of time playing with them. As we expected, ZenUI offered a lot of features, modes and pre-installed applications, which might not be considered as a plus by some users. We also liked the performance of the SoC – not as much in the computing and graphic tests, but rather in the temperatures test. It would’ve been nice if the device had more durable battery, since the result in our web browsing test wasn’t that high, but on the other hand, on the video playback test the device scored 12 hours – a rather impressive score.

The Asus ZenFone Selfie is a (relatively) inexpensive, reliable smartphone with respectable performance and decent software. It doesn't quite deliver a premium experience, but it comes close enough without putting too much of a burden on your bank account. It also looks and feels good, and Asus has enough brand recognition now to make it a force in the market.

The Asus Zenfone Selfie takes good selfies indeed. However, with the powerful front camera, we expected even better. There is still a slight hint of pixelation in slightly dimmed fluorescent light conditions, although it does do a much better job than most other phones out there. Performance is smooth, and except for its large dimensions and the small volume keys placed at the back, there is no real ‘bad’ thing about it. At Rs. 15,999, it falls in near range of the Xiaomi Mi 4, the ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini and the Coolpad Dazen, all of which have a better form factor, along with similar performance and good camera performance. You may go for it, if you want a Zenfone with brilliant cameras on both ends. If ergonomics take the front seat, the others reasonably make more sense than the Asus Zenfone Selfie.

When ASUS released the ZenFone 2 Laser, the company’s goal was to offer a premium smartphone experience with strong camera performance at an affordable price. Overall, we feel ASUS did an excellent job at finding a good balance of price, performance, and features with the ZenFone 2 Laser. The phone has a lot to offer, particularly at its budget-friendly price point.

Saturation seems to be the tactic that Asus believes will get them to reach new heights, but it’s almost maddening at the same time because the Zenfone 2 Laser offers very little distinction over the original model. Yes, its starting price point of $199 outright makes for an attractive prospect for consumers who are pinched. However, we can’t fully commit to recommending this over the original model solely due to its faster laser auto-focusing tech. That’s an incentive for sure, but at the same time, there’s no substantial improvement to its overall quality. Additionally, there are other areas where the Zenfone 2 Laser lags behind its sibling. Taking into consideration that the hardware here is by and large similar, save for the chipset, we’d think that it would receive more of a discount at this point. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, so you might be better off picking up the original model – more so when it can be fetched at a discount nowadays.

The ZenFone 2 Laser is, in mostly every way, the same as the ZenFone 2. The differences lie under the hood, which translates into a slight drop in performance, and in features, the most notable of which is laser-assisted auto focus. The price starts at $199 USD, putting it in the sweet-spot budget range for many. As with the ZenFone 2, if you're on a compatible network and you're upgrading from an older or lower-tier device, you'll be very happy with the ZenFone 2 Laser.

Buying a smartphone for less than $250 can feel like shopping the clearance section. Most of the items available are hideous or hideously outdated, but once in a while, you come across a gem. The Asus ZenFone 2 series, starting at $199, is a great bargain, packing a good display in a sturdy frame. Camera lovers will appreciate the ZenFone 2 Laser's sharp, colorful image quality and fun customization features, and the microSD card slot will come in handy for storing all those pictures and videos.

If you're willing to spend a little more, there is even the option of the Snapdragon 615-powered ZenFone 2 Laser, which comes with 3GB RAM and is expected to offer better performance on paper, though we haven't had a chance to test it yet. However, at under Rs. 10,000, the Asus ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE550KL) with 2GB RAM is probably the best closed-environment camera performance on a budget smartphone, and it's worth checking out if you're a photography enthusiast.

Powered by Intel. The Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe is pretty well-equipped: Intel quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, dual-SIM and PixelMaster camera. Has the manufacturer created a convincing overall package?

Putting aside comparisons with the ZenFone 2, the Deluxe is a decent looking smartphone with good performance. Unfortunately, we aren't thrilled with the camera, and the user interface continues to be chock full of bloatware which is a serious blemish on an otherwise efficient system. For the similar pricing, devices such as the Honor 7 and OnePlus 2 offer a more rounded experience, with similar levels of performance, better features, better cameras and significantly better battery life. While the original ZenFone was a decent option at the time of its launch, the Deluxe feels dated and is outdone today.

Now, ASUS launches this new device, the ZenFone 2, which is very superior to its predecessor, not even being a replacement or a competitor in market. While the ZenFone 5 is a mainstream smartphone, the ZenFone 2 is close, in terms of hardware, to the top shelf smartphones on the market, with a lower cost.

So the Zenfone 2 Deluxe is an update of Asus' flagship phone only in looks but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It succesfully manages to make a plastic design feel a little more desirable without coming across as cheap and tacky. Along with an impressive specs list that's sill in tact and pricing that starts from around £230, this is an Android phone that's set up to punch well above its weight.

Before I started using the ZenFone Zoom, I was hesitant: Isn't its single standout feature just a big gimmick? The answer is a pretty resounding no. ASUS has put together a pretty impressive bit of zooming machinery here; it was the sensor itself I should have been more concerned about.

If optical zoom in a smartphone appeals to you, your options are limited. At that, the Asus ZenFone Zoom is currently your best bet. There are a few more reasons to enjoy this souped-up camera phone, but with it, also come some frustrating design choices that get in the way of a breezy user experience.

Despite all this though, the aperture isn't wide enough and the indoor images in low light don't come out in as high quality as those from the Galaxy flagships or the iPhone. Yes, maybe about three fourths as good and that's about what the price of the Zenfone Zoom is at Rs.37,999, which somehow still feels a bit much.

There’s a market for every device, but the ZenFone Zoom is a niche of a niche. The consumer here needs to care enough about photo features to value the zoom, but isn’t as discerning when it comes to photo and video output. Otherwise, there are a number of devices around this price point which can outperform the ZenFone, or cheaper devices that can hang with it.

There's clearly demand for smartphones with outstanding image quality. Ask any average owner if they'd stick with their current phone should the camera stop working, and you'll find that most would not. The camera is arguably as essential as making calls for most smartphone users, and the ZenFone Zoom seeks to give the camera some special treatment and tangible benefits.

Still then, in terms of ease of use and clarity of the camera Asus needs to work on the Auto mode to help it deliver better images; something that can be resolved in future software updates. Let’s face it, not every one likes tinkering around with the manual modes. Coming to the competition, there is plenty and yes, they do a better job.

At $399, the ZenFone Zoom doesn't offer a big performance boost over the ZenFone 2 or the ZenFone Laser, and it's a good deal more expensive. For the same price, you can pick up Moto X Pure or the Nexus 6P, both of which offer sharper displays, 4K video capture, and the latest Android software. And if you simply want the best camera on an Android phone, you can opt for the Panasonic CM1 (now selling at a steep discount) or the LG V10. And if you're looking to save some money, both the ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Laser remain solid options, albeit without the optical zoom.

It's a very innovative idea, no doubt, but we feel that having a larger sensor capable of producing better image quality is a better substitute, as you can simply crop and enlarge the image with little loss in quality. The ZenFone Zoom is not Asus's current flagship; it seems to be more of a one-off attempt to inject something fresh into the company's lineup before the next generation arrives.

Asus established itself as a formidable competitor in the mid-range segment with the introduction and release of its ZenFone 2 last year. Since that time, they've diversified its ZenFone line with an assortment of variants – including this latest one in the ZenFone Zoom. Despite the camera-centric approach, the phone feels a bit underwhelming at the end of the day, partially because it is launching a whole year after its announcement.

So – the Zenfone Zoom is big, heavy, bulky and bloated with applications. And its LTE may not suit everyone. But despite all this, it’s capacious, powerful and it does have a USP, a Unique Selling Point, that lifts it from the Android mainstream. If, like me, your phone has to be your always-with-you-camera and if you find yourself wanting to add zoom into many daily shots, to get up ‘closer’ with your subjects, then this is definitely worth considering, warts and all.

The Asus Zenfone Zoom may have an optical zoom camera, but the image quality isn't worth Rs. 37,999. It's basically a Zenfone 2 with optical zoom, which doesn't make sense at this price range.

Asus ZenFone Max ZC550KL
It is apparent that Asus has capitalized a lot on its battery juice with the Zenfone 3 Max. Asus claims that its battery provides power to users through the day without recharge. Its high-capacity 4100 mAh cell is capable of standby of up to 30 days. Not only that, the battery is also capable of reverse charging, which means that the Zenfone 3 Max doubles up as a power bank to charge other digital devices such as other smartphones, and tablets. The Zenfone 3 Max is no less impressive design-wise. Just like the other versions of the ZenFone 3, it is built of a premium looking aluminum unibody frame with curves on its rear cover that feel comfortable to the grip. In addition, the display bezel is slim at 2.25 mm. The dimensions of the Zenfone 3 Max measure at 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.55 mm and it weighs 148 g. It is equipped with a 5.2-inch touchscreen display (screen-to-body ratio: 75%) with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. While the low display resolution is quite disappointing, it makes for a longer battery life. The Zenfone 3 Max is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Thanks to a MicroSD slot, the storage capacity can be expanded by up to 32 GB (which arguable lies on the lower side). As a bonus, 100 GB free space on Google Drive is provided to users for two years. The phone features a 13 MP front camera capable of shooting Full-HD videos and a 5 MP rear camera. The PixelMaster 3.0 camera is capable of various modes such as backlight (HDR), low light, real time beautification, night, selfie, and time lapse. The fingerprint sensor can be used for unlocking purposes and ID recognition, thus improving security and convenience. The Zenfone 3 Max is able to support up to two SIMs. Both SIM card slots support 3G WCDMA/4G LTE network band, but only one SIM card can connect to 3G WCDMA/4G LTE service at a time. In addition, the phone features an FM radio receiver. Its speaker is ICEpower enhanced and the dual microphone is fitted with noise cancellation for improved clarity. However, the real life tests aren’t that impressive. The device runs on Android 6.0 with ASUS ZenUI 3.0 and there is no news on any upgrades to the newer Android 7.0. Choices of colors available are titanium gray, glacier silver, sand gold, and rose gold. The ZenFone 3 Max will surely appeal to the average smartphone users. It is priced competitively and looks great. However, for users who are looking more into media or even performance, there are many other choices out there, but these will most probably not offer such a long battery life as the ZenFone 3 Max.

Long, longer, ZenFone Max. Asus launches a smartphone on the market that follows one goal: The ZenFone Max is to achieve ultimate battery life. This begins with the hardware in the form of a strong 5000 mAh battery and ends with energy-saving software solutions. Read in our report whether the mid-range handset by Asus manages to oust the present reference in our battery test.

Overall, it's a decent and respectable phone, but it's also in competition with the more modern entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi. At just S$299, the Redmi Note 3 is worthy of your consideration as it boasts a higher resolution display, smoother performance, a fast fingerprint sensor and a more premium design for only a little more than what the ZenFone Max commands. But you won't get a phone that lasts anywhere near the ZenFone Max, which is clearly the ultimate in battery life performance.

The Zenfone Max improves over its predecessor with a slightly better SOC and options to choose an extra gig of RAM. It still offers the stellar battery life that it stood for but what Asus fails to understand is that it’s 2016 and consumer expectations are skyrocketing! At the price, it competes with phones that perform much better and offer similar battery life. Let’s hope the next iteration is well thought of.

As you may have guessed by now, the only feature that we did like about the new Asus Zenfone Max was its battery. We also understand that no other smartphone offers a 5000mAh battery in this segment. So we think that the big battery is the only reason one should go in for it. If battery life is your priority and all you do is make calls, send WhatsApp messages and shoot emails this could be your smartphone.

The Asus Zenfone Max doesn't make a promise it can't keep. It's a true endurance champ, thanks to a massive 5,000mAh battery and longevity-driven design and hardware choices. The Snapdragon 410 chipset is one such compromise and perhaps the spot on the Max's spec sheet that's decidedly below par. Yet, it may very well be thanks to it that the Zenfone Max scored a 121-hour endurance rating, with some 20 hours of web browsing, and close to 16 hours of video playback. Qualcomm's lower midranger may not be quick, but it sure is frugal.

The Asus ZenFone Max (2016) is certainly a decent attempt by the company to capitalise on one of its best-selling recent products and infuse new life into it considering the competitors that have launched since January. The phone delivers improved performance to make it a little more capable, while continuing to offer excellent battery life and a good camera. Although battery life isn't up to the same stellar levels as the original, it's still more than enough to set the phone apart.

Now that it's fairly certain phone companies haven't come up with a miracle battery for cellphones, the next best thing is to figure out putting in as large a battery into a mobile as possible without increasing the overall dimensions and weight too much. That's exactly what several companies have started toying with. First the Chinese Gionee, with its Marathon M5, then Lenovo Vibe P1, and now the Asus Zenfone Max.

The design is another highlight of Zenfone 3 ZE552KL, it's put together like an expensive phone. An oleophobic coating over both glass panes would have helped avoid most of the smudging (and there's a lot of it). The chipset was a safe but boring choice, it offers just enough speed without topping the charts.

There are also Power management, Memory and Asus Customised settings menus, plus Themes, a separate menu for screenshot settings, and even two update offerings - system updates and ZenUI updates.

The Zenfone 3 is far from a flawless device — it looks outdated and bland, it’s got a skin filled with bloatware and its performance is nothing to write home about. However, in the areas where it excels, it truly makes its mark. The device’s camera has created a new benchmark for quality in my mind that, quite frankly, extends past mid-range devices to contend with many top-tier devices on the market today. It also has two-day battery life, something not many smartphones anywhere on the price spectrum can brag.

All things considered, the Zenfone3 isn't a bad phone. However, the Lenovo ZuK Z1 comes across as a much better handset, which is significantly cheaper. Moreover, you can get the much better Xiaomi Mi 5 for he same price.

All things considered, the Zenfone3 isn't a bad phone. However, the Lenovo ZuK Z1 comes across as a much better handset, which is significantly cheaper. Moreover, you can get the much better Xiaomi Mi 5 for he same price.

Asus Zenfone 3 can perform quite well to use Snapdragon 625 processor, although someone thinks it’s not enough, you may not be happy with the back design, but the rectangular fingerprint scanner makes you surprise. Although the auto mode is not perfect to take pictures, the manual mode can be a good solution. Right now you can enjoy coupon code ZenFonGB to catch it at $348.99 for three colors.

Asus manages to maintain its recognised appeal consistently with premium built from high to low-end devices and “straight to business” zeal when you unbox it. The ZenFone 3 feels refreshed for sure as compared to other similar looking mid segment phones. Moreover, it sports an all-new design which is different from its predecessors, as well as impressive innards. The entire charm lies with the front and back coated with glass. The feel and touch of the phone at the first glance, itself will have you admiring.

The Zenfone 3 (3GB RAM) model is an all-rounder for sure and it doesn't have much loopholes to complaint. Asus should also be congratulated for moving away from its older curvy and plastic design. But those who are not confident of handling a glassy device or do not like complex interfaces, should stay away from this.

Final Verdict Asus Zenfone 3 has been given a big design makeover and makes a late but slipping entry to the list of phones that use glass and metal for a beautiful look. But it does look like a fine device – shiny, glossy and premium, it looks everything. Only, in process, it becomes a slippery device to use. I would surely like my phone to be smooth in feel, but not a wet round soap. Asus Zenfone 3 has also gotten a great deal smoother on the inside too but the ZenUI is still a crowded space like it used to be and a lot needs to be done to make the smoother looker cleaner and leaner.

Which brings us to the crux of all this analysis – is the ZenFone 3 worth investing in? Our answer is simple: not if you are a benchmark junkie, but if you seek a good-looking compact device with great sound, a good display and good battery life, this has got to be one of the better options out there at its price point. This is perhaps the first ZenFone that is flauntable as well as functional.

The biggest strength of the old ZenFones was that they were very affordable and very reliable devices — you get a lot of smartphone for your money. The ZenFone 3, on the other hand, comes with a hefty RM1,699 price tag. Sure, you are getting an arguably better phone made from better materials, but if you’re spending this much money on a device, it needs to go beyond being just reliable and good. It also needs to make you feel special. And that’s something the ZenFone 3 just doesn’t do.

The ZenFone 3 is a strong showing from Asus and a good showcase of what the company is capable of when it puts all its effort behind a product. The funny thing is it isn't even the company's flagship device, and we are very much interested in what the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is capable of if the ZenFone 3 is so good.

Asus’ Zenfone 3 stands tall with its premium looks and great display, but with the boring old software and anaemic hardware, it’s hard to recommend it over the OnePlus 3 that is priced exactly the same and comes with plenty more. Go for the 5.5-inch Zenfone 3 if you prefer premium looks over raw power!

Overall, the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL is an awesome first step upwards to the upper midrange price range, featuring flagship level design and near flagship-level hardware and tech specs. Granted, the price tag of RM1699 is a lot higher than previous ASUS ZenFones but for what it has packed in, both in terms of design and hardware, the ZenFone 3 is offering a lot more than what it is worth. This includes a 4GB RAM / 64GB storage smartphone with 4K video recording for well below RM2K, something that you usually don't see with great design included. At the time of writing this review, prices have dropped to RM1449 (RM1279 this Merdeka) so there isn’t much discrepancy between overseas prices and Malaysian prices now.

The Zenfone 3 3GB / 32GB is priced at Rs. 21,999 and the 4GB / 64GB is priced at Rs. 27,999. The 4GB version price wise is competing with the OnePlus 3. If you compare OnePlus 3 and Zenfone 3 both the handsets are powerful, can shoot/play 4K, excellent camera and can play high end games, but technically OnePlus 3 is much more powerful (benchmark wise).

Any smartphone’s five basic pillars include design and display, performance, battery life, camera and software. Asus Zenfone 3 does well in three of those department while it’s camera is a passable one. It’s UI is something which may not appeal to everyone, especially if you have used a stock Android or Moto product.

A less flattering comparison with the Korean giant is the fact that like it, Asus too seems to be in a “release a slew of devices” mode. The launch of the ZenFone 3 saw a number of devices being released, leading to a confusion that is alas, rapidly becoming a given with some brands. Only two phones, however, came with the ZenFone 3 branding with no additional words (ultra, laser, deluxe, etc.). This was the ZenFone 3 with a 5.2-inch display, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage,

The device's greatest competitors are the OnePlus 3 and the Xiaomi Mi 5 as they both sport the Snapdragon 820 processor, full HD displays, and one of them even has 6GB RAM.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is an excellent all-round successor to the ZenFone 2 series. It has a highly attractive physical design for its price point, and it runs well for a sub S$500 smartphone. We also liked it because of how much the ZenFone has progressed over time and we usually don't expect smartphones of this class to get everything right, while looking good at the same time. The ZenFone 3 offers decent camera quality, functional processing power, and a clean enough UI, finished off with mindful consideration for its handling and looks. Without a doubt, it's a good all-rounder and a great mid-range phone for just S$498 (or S$398 if you opt for the smaller display size).

This year, Asus expanded the availability of the ZenFone 3 series, which means consumers should be able to easily get their hands on the new range. With the lowest pricing at Rs. 18,999, the ZenFone 3 range has definitely tried to shed the budget tag from its handsets but it will be interesting to see how well the phones do in the Indian market.

After all that’s said and done, ASUS’ upcoming Zenfone 3 is one of the best phones they’ve ever produced. It’s easy to make a great looking, great performing phone, but to make one with a price tag that’s under 20K – that’s the real challenge. While ASUS hasn’t released pricing for the Zenfone 3 yet, IF they follow international pricing then there’s a lot of value to be had for the phone (it’s expected to retail at right around 16K-17K for the larger 5.5-inch variant) despite its higher street price compared to last year’s model.

Just when we thought ASUS came to their senses regarding pre-installed software (AKA bloatware), they’ve managed to pre-load the Zenfone 3 with all manner of useless junk that most of us would probably uninstall. This is probably the worst part of the Zenfone experience, and while the phone’s hardware is more than enough to ensure the phone powers through all of the RAM-eating software that comes with it, we really hoped that they would calm down already when it came to bloatware.

Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG
Simplistic in design with great functionality, the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG is a budget orientated smartphone that will satisfy the requirements of many users. At first glance, the device looks close to premium with a build quality to match while the matte textured and rounded rear side allows for a good grip. There are five colors to choose from; black, white, blue, red, and gold. The Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG weighs in at 135 g with its removable Lithium-Polymer battery rated at 2070 mAh, which provides decent battery life, mostly due to the moderate power consumption of the hardware. Display on the device is a 5.0 inch IPS LCD touchscreen with HD resolution. Colors and clarity are decent with the 294 ppi pixel density display. Asus has not disclosed what glass type is used to protect the screen. Therefore, users should be extra careful when handling the device. A simple screen protector could add a small level of protection against unwanted scratches. Audio quality on the device is pretty good despite a mono speaker positioned at the rear. However, since it is at the back of the device, it is possible to cover it when placed on a table. The Android 5.1 Lollipop system comes with a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz paired with a Mali-400MP2 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and either 8 GB or 16 GB internal storage depending on the variant. This hardware combination makes using the device a joy as it can run most current applications with ease. To sweeten the deal, Asus has thrown in dual SIM capability and a microSD card slot to expand the storage capacity by up to 64 GB. At the rear of the device is a decent 8 MP autofocus camera with f/2.0 aperture for low light shooting and there is a rather low 2 MP front camera for selfies. Both of the cameras take decent photos and are good for a low-end smartphone. Other features found on the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG are Bluetooth 4.0, an FM radio module, A-GPS, and micro USB connectivity with USB OTG technology enabling users to connect thumbdrives and even external hard drives for data access. There have been complaints by users from the web that the GPS module encounters hiccups from time to time, but hopefully this is merely a software issue which can be fixed with a patch and not a design flaw. Users can opt for more premium protection with the View Flip Case, which allows important information to be displayed through the circular cut-out. In summary, the Asus ZenFone Go ZC500TG is a solid performing, and wallet friendly smartphone. Depending on your liking of the Asus ZenUI skin, it could be a no-brainer option.Specifications

ASUS ZenFone Go (ZC500TG) met our expectations as one of the best budget smartphones on the market. In taking a closer look at its capabilities, we discovered some drawbacks such as the not so durable battery (especially for video playback). The mobile CPU ensures reasonable performance but the exterior temperatures we measured are slightly higher than the generally accepted, and yet acceptable.

Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL
The Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL is designed and targeted towards those people who are seeking for something in the premium market segment that is affordable and is fully packed with many features. The case of the smartphone is made with fine quality aerospace-grade alloy that is milled to precision with 0.14 mm diamond-cutting technology. As a result, the smartphone looks premium, sleek and has a well-built craftsmanship. Moreover, Asus claimed the smartphone to be the world’s first full metal body smartphone that has an invisible antenna design which is actually somewhat true. The smartphone comes pre-installed with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with ASUS ZenUI 3.0 user interface. There are two different configurations for users to choose from in terms of processor, a 2.1 GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Quad-Core Snapdragon 820 processor or a higher clocked 2.4 GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Quad-Core Snapdragon 821 processor. Both of these processors come with the Adreno 530 GPU. However, it is suspected that the variant with Snapdragon 820 processor will be phased out soon. The Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL has 6 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and there is a choice of either 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB for internal storage. The storage capacity can be expanded by up to 2 TB using the MicroSD slot. But, that being said, the current portable memory market only offers MicroSD cards with up to 256 GB. The high-quality list of hardware ranks the smartphone in the flagship category and it is the intention of Asus to use the smartphone to compete against other brands in the high-end market segment. It sports a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 (Super Anti Scratch). The display has additional features such as Tru2life technology, Bluelight Filter for Eye Care, 10-finger capacitive touch screen, oleophobic coating that is resistant towards fingerprints and smudge, 60 ms touch response time for giving the user smooth gaming experience and support of glove touch. It has 23 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and 6P Largan Lens with features such as Auto Focus, 0.03 seconds auto laser focus, 32 seconds long exposure, and 4-axis optical image stabilization for producing steady photos. There are two LEDs for a real tone flash and the PixelMaster Camera Modes help really well in low lighting situations. On the front, there is a 8 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture and 85 degrees wide-viewing angle. The smartphone also comes with all of the standard features found in all smartphones these days like accelerometer, e-compass, gyroscope, hall sensor, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, RGB sensor, IR sensor, and fingerprint reader. However, it lacks an FM Radio, Java capability, a barometer and a temperature sensor. Therefore users might have to purchase additional products if they would like to use those missing features. The ZenFone 3 Deluxe is available in three different colors; Shimmer Gold, Glacier Silver and Titanium Grey. It has a 3000 mAh non-removable battery with BoostMaster Fast Charging, which allows the user to charge the phone to 60% in 40 minutes and Quick Charge 3.0. With all of these features, one might expect the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL to be priced in the flagship category, but it isn’t. It is only slightly more expensive than many phones in the mid range segment. Hands on by: Jagadis RajaSpecifications

Late luxury. Asus' latest ZenFone 3 Deluxe flagship smartphone will also be available on the European market soon. With Qualcomm's current premium SoC, a high-resolution 23-megapixel camera, and a large 5.7-inch AMOLED panel, the handset features some technological highlights. But how will it fare in the test compared with other equally first-rate competitors?

We do not have any second thoughts about the phone being a beast when it comes to the spec sheet and its performance. But what we think is going to hit Asus the hardest in the case of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe is the price of the smartphone. Asus has priced Zenfone 3 Deluxe at Rs. 62,999 which is more than the double of what OnePlus is charging for OnePlus 3T which offers a similar processor. In fact, we did not really see a humongous difference between the performance of the Deluxe and Lenovo Z2 Plus and the latter just costs Rs. 15,000. Yes, the Zenfone 3 Deluxe is a Hulk in terms of performance and that 256 GB of onboard storage is a massive plus, but its Hulk-like price is likely to make consumers hesitate from investing in it, especially when you consider the level of competition around it.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe isn't a terrible phone, but it's extremely hard to recommend over its competitors. While its specs are decent, its software and camera drag it down. The price is also a problem; it is lower than most flagships' from larger companies, but other phones offer justification for their higher prices in the form of useful features. I would honestly hesitate to recommend this phone even if its MSRP were $100 lower, thanks to the existence of phones like the ZTE Axon 7 and the heavily-mentioned OnePlus 3T.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is an ambitious phone, but it doesn't quite deliver everything you expect at this price point. We liked the antenna-less rear design, but weren't too keen on the oblong-shape fingerprint scanner, and the rest of the design is quite derivative without any fresh elements that we haven't seen before.

This special edition ZenFone 3 Deluxe is priced at Rs. 62,999, which makes it a good flagship contender. It’s also the only Android option to offer this much onboard storage plus the ability to expand it further. With streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video now supporting offline viewing, it doesn’t hurt to have more storage.

At the end of it all Asus’s first flagship offering falls short of the competition. While the top-of-the-line specifications look great on paper, it’s the software experience that is either lacking, or gets in your way. I noticed how the software felt unnecessarily bloated. It seems to have taken away what should have been a buttery smooth software user experience. The same software showed its ugly face once again in the camera section where over processing leads to some flat-looking images. Asus really needs to take a complete u-turn when it comes to software keeping in mind where it’s headed (the premium segment).

With the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, Asus has devised a full-fledged plan to enter the premium market, something we never would've thought until few months back. Although the Taiwanese tech company is taking baby steps in this particular segment, it has managed to bring a worthy smartphone. Those who loved the Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL but are not willing to spend Rs 62,999, can buy the ZS550KL model with Rs 49,999. The lower-priced model comes with less powerful cameras, SoC and few other changes.

Asus may consider its ZenFone 3 Deluxe as a contender to the iPhone 7 Plus, Galaxy S7 Edge and Pixel XL. Unfortunately, despite Asus’ best efforts to make the ZenFone 3 Deluxe the king of the smartphone market, I doubt someone would be ready to pay Rs 62,999. That’s a high price to pay for this phone especially since it doesn’t exactly outperform the OnePlus 3T, which sells for Rs 34,999 for the 128GB variant and even packs a Snapdragon 821 processor and 6GB RAM. Yes, the standard has been raised too high.

Asus has improved a lot with this generation of Zenfone devices. The Zenfone 3 Deluxe in particular represents their foray into the flagship segment and truth be told, it is a pretty good attempt too. Unfortunately the competition is way too far ahead and without any defining feature, it is rather hard to recommend the Zenfone 3 Deluxe.

Despite what other people may think, the ZF3 Deluxe is a relatively good smartphone offering from ASUS. We like the overall design of the phone, as minimalist as it is, and despite its flaws (which can be addressed by software patches down the line), it’s been a great daily driver for us the past few weeks we’ve been using it.

Despite what other people may think, the ZF3 Deluxe is a relatively good smartphone offering from ASUS. We like the overall design of the phone, as minimalist as it is, and despite its flaws (which can be addressed by software patches down the line), it’s been a great daily driver for us the past few weeks we’ve been using it.

The ZenFone 3 Deluxe features a beautiful design, a great looking display, and comes with a ton of features, but so do a lot of other smartphones, and the Deluxe just falls short in too many key areas to make it really stand out from the crowd.

With phones like the Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Moto Z, and the iPhone 7 lurking just around the corner, this isn’t the flagship phone you should be spending 50k on. Both the Moto Z and OnePlus 3 make better, and cheaper options, while the iPhone and Pixel are better choices for those who can afford them.

Overall, the 5.7” ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a strong product, that compares well to other flagship smartphones in its class. There are other smartphones in this class with a few more features, but if you dig the ZenFone 3 Deluxe’s design and are shopping for an unlocked smartphone, we think you’ll be happy with its performance, battery life, camera, build and design quality.

Asus knows how to make over-the-top smartphones — with 6GB RAM and 256GB storage, it even beats most ultrabooks out in the market. That does not even count the Snapdragon 821 variant they have lined-up. When they held back, they did so sensibly — just like with the option for 1080p display to conserve battery life.

Those who are willing to spend another $270 should purchase a Google Pixel XL, which has one of the best cameras on the market and lasts 3 hours longer on a charge. If you want an unlocked device with a strong sense of style, plenty of performance and great selfie capabilities, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a good choice, but the camera could be better.

The ZenFone 3 Deluxe is a gorgeous phone with an eye-poppingly vibrant display and a UI to match. It's $500 price seems like a bargain when you compare this phone to similarly sized flagships that go for hundreds more, but budget-conscious users may prefer the $399 OnePlus 3, which has nearly identical performance, storage and screen quality.

Despite missing a premium software feel, the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe pretty nails most of our checklist as a flagship phone. And with an attractive pricing at P34,995 pesos or about $700 USD and with chart-topping performance, this makes the Deluxe more compelling flagship Android phone to buy. Although we’d still wish Asus should had fixed some of the software glitches before they’ve released it. Nonetheless, we’re really glad to see more takes from Asus on what’s a premium phone should be.

According to comparison between Xiaomi MI5S Plus and Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe., we know Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe has some advantages in design, craftsmanship, performance and camera, but Xiaomi MI5S Plus also has its own merits such as battery and price. If you are looking for a cheaper RAM 6GB Snapdragon 821 smartphone, Xiaomi MI5S Plus is a good choice, if you don’t mind the price, of course, you can try Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe first.

Asus Zenfone Deluxe has showed us its great ability in camera, performance and design, especially the hidden antenna design. Because Asus has made innovation and solution for better design that iphone can’t solve. Only one thing we may not be very satisfied is the price. According to the official, it will sell at 4,999 yuan, $833, which can be the best rival of Iphone 7 and Samsung Note 7. But right now Asus Zenfone 3 is available at $457.62, you can use coupon code: GB9% to catch it at $416.43.

What remains, though, is the same is 1080p resolution. You won't find a pixel-dense quad HD (aka 2K) panel like the Android rivals that Asus is trying its best to mimic. That new Snapdragon 821 processor sports 4K displays, but this one is far from that spec. I'm okay with Full HD 1080p displays on phones of this size, but the company does appear to be working on an Asus VR headset.

The front 8 MP camera also captures some great shots in daylight. Images captured under low lights tend to blur slightly otherwise is good for selfie needs. Due to its wide angle lens, it can cover a large group of people. The front camera records 1080p videos.

So should you buy it? The ASUS ZenFone 3 is available at ₹21,999. If you don’t run high intensive tasks and games, but want a beautiful looking smartphone with a great camera, it’s a yes. A great advantage for all the ZenFones is they are available in offline stores too. Furthermore, it also bundles earphones while many others don’t. But, if you want to run graphics intensive games and heavy applications that require more CPU power, we would suggest you look at the other similar priced smartphones before you buy ZenFone 3.

If you are in the market for a good all-round device and not really worried about the processor, then ASUS Zenfone 3 is a good buy at 21,999. It offers superior build, good software with decent performance, above average camera and decent battery life.

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. And well, it could be gone even better if the battery capacity had been increased to 3000 mAh at least. Nevertheless, Zenfone 3 battery life is much satisfying as compared to other smartphones offering a 3000 mAh battery.

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.

At Rs. 27,999, the Asus Zenfone 3 is not the best smartphone to buy for those looking for a whole package. You can consider this smartphone for its battery, and even the camera is above average, but as a complete smartphone, the Zenfone 3 is well behind the OnePlus 3 and LeEco Le Max 2.

Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL
Asus has just introduced the new Zenfone 3 Max, which focuses on delivering best possible battery life without making too many compromises. The result was a decent package that balances performance and price well enough, while still delivering its key objective. The phone is encased in a 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.6 mm sand-blasted aluminium alloy body, and weighs about 148 g. With a thin 2.25 mm bezel and 75% screen-to-body ratio, it allows for more display and less bulk. Its 5.2-inch IPS touchscreen is covered by 2.5D protective glass with oleophobic coating, so fingerprints will not be an issue. The screen has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, 16M colors and a brightness of 400 nits for easy viewing under direct sunlight. The Zenfone 3 Max runs on Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow with ZenUI 3.0 out of the box. The ZC520TL variant is powered by a quad-core Mediatek MT6737M SoC clocked at 1.45 GHz. This variant comes with the option of either 16 GB storage with 2 GB RAM or 32 GB storage with 3 GB RAM, but both have a microSD card slot which allows adding up to 358 GB. But the crowning jewel of the Zenfone 3 Max is its considerably large 4100 mAh battery. The phone’s ZenUI 3.0 brings super saving modes, which allows the phone to squeeze out more juice from its battery. The super saving modes are pre-configured to maximize every last milliamp, and, when enabled, can extend ZenFone 3 Max’s standby time by 36 hours – even when it’s as low as 10%. The Zenfone 3 Max’s ability to perform reverse-charging is what truly sets it apart from other devices on the market. Thanks to its large battery capacity, the Zenfone 3 Max can double up as a power bank to charge other digital devices. The Zenfone 3 Max has a 13 MP primary camera with f/2.2 aperture, autofocus, and LED flash. It can take high-resolution photos with zero shutter lag, and record 1080p videos at 30 fps. It also has a 5 MP secondary front camera with f/2.0 aperture, which shoots sharp selfies and is able to produce clear video chats. It is also notable that in one of the Zenfone Max 3’s PixelMaster modes, i.e. the Super Resolution mode, the device can capture multiple shots simultaneously for a single photograph with stunning 52 MP detail. The other two PixelMaster modes are HDR mode, which can see clearly through daytime shadow, and Low Light mode, which takes clear and bright photos, even in poor lighting conditions. Just below the rear camera is the phone’s fingerprint sensor, which unlocks the phone in 0.3 seconds. Swiping down the fingerprint sensor will summon the selfie camera, and the sensor also acts like a second shutter button, which can be tapped to snap a photo. The Zenfone 3 Max is truly one of a kind. It offers a good design and great battery life for just a fraction of the price. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Long battery life, limited performance. Asus' ZenFone 3 Max aims to impress with its high-capacity battery and satisfy all runtime-junkies. However, they will have to make compromises in other aspects as our test shows.

As we expected, the available 4130mAh battery is Zenfone 3 Max’s key advantage in its battle with the competitive models in this price range. Apart from ensuring high durability, it is also complemented by several battery saving modes which can significantly increase battery life between separate charges. They are part of the feature-rich Zen user interface by ASUS which complements the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS in the best possible way. Additionally, you get an HD display which ensures good enough image detail plus high brightness levels allowing easy use when outdoors.

Bottomline: If you’re looking for a great battery phone but don’t want to carry weight, then this is the right device with good overall performance, but a bit expensive. So, if you are ready to spend 18k then it’s a perfect choice.

If you’re looking to grab a member of the ASUS ZF3 family and have limited funds, then you can’t do any better than the 5.5-inch version of the ZF3 Max. It has many of the same features that both the ZF3 Laser and the smaller ZF3 Max have – big battery, fast performance and insane battery life – at a price that’s hard to beat.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL) is yet another quality smartphone from Asus. Although, it’s already above the Php10k mark making it a bit difficult to suggest among budget consumers who prefers long battery life. At Php10,995, it’s a good balance for what you’re getting and this makes it the second cheapest Zenfone 3 member you can purchase.

People already wants a phone with longer battery life and you are the one, consider it if you like the brand value. There are some alternatives to it like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which also comes to play when it’s a showdown for the battery runtime, but only if you want a phone without a recognized brand and yes, the camera of course. Even though its smaller sized form factor, I like the design, the camera, and its battery life. What I would expect here would be a better CPU at this price range. Overall, the long battery run is a deal breaker. Not to mention it can charge other phones, consider it also as a 4,100 mAh pocket power bank.

The only thing missing now is price – there’s no pricing for the 5.5-inch ZF3 Max in the Philippines yet unfortunately, but if India pricing is anything to go by, it’ll probably retail close to the SRP of the Zenfone 3 Laser. That’s why we think that ASUS may discontinue the ZF3 Laser, since their prices are so close to each other anyway. The 5.5 ZF3 Max having an almost identical feature set with the ZF3 Laser means that the two phones will cannibalize each other in the market if they’re both available.

The screen is visible in direct sunlight and color is rendering is also appropriate. But considering the price there are better options available such as Le eco Le Max 2, One plus 3 and Mi Max Prime.

It has a huge battery capacity of 4100mAh, which is not the highest but good enough to keep the device running for over a full day of use. There are other battery-focussed handsets too in the market but are priced higher.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max as they did. I appreciate the battery life and the build quality at this asking price of Rs 17,999, but that sluggish SoC completely ruins the experience for me. The camera is also lack-lustre. The elephant in the room is, of course, the Redmi Note 3, and that device sells for about Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000 less than the ZenFone 3 Max. It also offers a massive performance bump, a better camera and the same battery life. Why would anyone in their right minds pick a ZenFone 3 Max over the Redmi Note 3, at the current pricing?

Then there's the pricing. The ZenFone 3 Max (ZC553KL) will cost buyers Rs 17,999. That's right. It's mighty expensive and easily forgettable. Especially, when a phone like the Redmi 3S Prime offers so much more (even equally good battery life, at just about Rs 9,000) in actual usage. Not to forget, phones like the Moto G4 Plus and the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note are equally competitive.

ZenFone 3 Max Review: Maximised the battery experience The Zenfone 3 Max comes out as a decent smartphone to keep in your wish list. The battery output and camera performance are impressive. Even the performance will not disappoint.. The only issue that Asus needs to sort out at the earliest in to remove bloatware they need to give users freedom to choose what they want to download.

The ZenFone Max name no longer means you're getting a one-trick pony, as this new model aims to offer a well-rounded solution to aspiring smartphone buyers. This shows in the new aesthetics, improved display and cameras, and of course, solid battery life. It would have made a perfect rival to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3, but Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max in line with higher aspirations. Keep in mind that the ZC520TL variant does fall in the Redmi's price range but it doesn't seem to match up to it, at least on paper. It's also important that you check the model number behind the box carefully as its easy to confuse the two versions.

Even the performance will not disappoint.. The only issue that Asus needs to sort out at the earliest in to remove bloatware they need to give users freedom to choose what they want to download.

The ZenFone Max name no longer means you're getting a one-trick pony, as this new model aims to offer a well-rounded solution to aspiring smartphone buyers. This shows in the new aesthetics, improved display and cameras, and of course, solid battery life. It would have made a perfect rival to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3, but Asus has priced the ZenFone 3 Max in line with higher aspirations. Keep in mind that the ZC520TL variant does fall in the Redmi's price range but it doesn't seem to match up to it, at least on paper. It's also important that you check the model number behind the box carefully as its easy to confuse the two versions.

The Zenfone 3 Max is quite a decent smartphone and this is something that can be said for the entire Zenfone range. It however lacks a differentiating factor. In fact even within it’s own product lineup, Asus would find it hard to set the Max aside given that phones like the Zenfone 3 Laser too have really good battery life.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max will have a tough time measuring up to its own past model and rivals. For an extra S$50, you get a 1080p display and better battery life with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but the same price will net you the older ZenFone Max that comes with a larger battery capacity and significantly longer battery life - exactly what we expect out of a "Max" class ZenFone product.

The Zenfone 3 Max is more of an update rather than an upgrade for the Max series of the Zenfone. The smaller screen size is the culprit behind the shrunken battery capacity. While it’s still above the standard Android phone battery life, it’s not as impressive as before or even when compared to its Zenfone 3 siblings.

The ZF3 Max is shaping up to be a promising smartphone on its own right – we’re in the middle of the review process of the phone and the review should be out by next week. Stay tuned till then.

While the original Zenfone Max delivered insane battery endurance, it sacrificed everything else to get that legendary battery performance. That’s not the case with the Zenfone 3 Max – while it performs a little worse in the battery department because of the smaller capacity, it’s a better phone in almost every other category. ASUS compromised a little bit on the battery to give users a phone that’s not just a glorified powerbank, and they’ve succeeded.

The Zenfone 3 Max is available to buy now, priced at Php 8,995.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL
The Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is a huge 6.8-inch smartphone built for users who watch a lot of videos. Its massive 4,600 mAh battery can be charged quickly thanks to Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology, which will charge it from flat to 60% in just 45 minutes. It can even charge attached devices such as a power bank with a high current of up to 1.5 A. According to Asus, it’s the first smartphone in the world fitted with a 4K UHD TV-grade video processor, while a 6.8-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display delivers top notch graphics. Looking at the design, the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL features a sleek, diamond-cut all-metal unibody. The chassis of the smartphone is made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and a CNC special crafted metal body protects the ZenFone 3 Ultra. It is infused with the spirit of Zen: the embodiment of luxury, beauty and simplicity. It integrates invisible antennas design with a technology called PureMetal. The ZenFone 3 Ultra tapers to 6.8 mm at its thinnest edge, curving ergonomically for the perfect grip. It is finished with a chamfer all the way around, diamond-cut to mere 0.18 mm width, which is almost as fine as a single strand of human hair. For display, Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL features the ASUS Tru2Life+ technology which has motion-estimation and motion compensation (MEMC) algorithms for smooth, blur-free video that doesn’t judder. It also enables a 95% NTSC color gamut to deliver vibrant colours. Gorilla Glass 4 protects the screen from minor scratches and damages. As for audio, the ZenFone 3 Ultra’s SonicMaster 3.0 technology gives it supreme audio performance for entertainment or calls. Dual five-magnet speakers driven by a powerful NXP Smart AMP, give an expansive, high-volume output. From a simple test with music, the phone’s sound system is remarkable. It provides just enough bass without affecting its clarity. And for calls, SonicMaster 3.0 ensures the very best voice quality in VoLTE (Voice over LTE) calls even in the noisiest environments, with advanced noise cancelling and voice enhancement technologies. The ZenFone 3 Ultra features PixelMaster 3.0, which packs a 23 MP camera, 92 MP Super Resolution technology, large f/2.0-aperture lens and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for any distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds. It utilizes both optical and electronic image stabilization for blur-free shots and videos and a color correction sensor for true color photography. Besides that, it also features real-time HDR that properly shows the resulting HDR photo as framed. All these results in a rather good photo quality but it is still easily beaten by serious contenders such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and iPhone 7 Plus. Another thing to note is the lack of proper manual mode for the camera. The ZenFone 3 Ultra is packed with a 64-bit, Snapdragon 652 processor, which is quite a weird choice for a top-range device, and 4 GB of RAM. The ZenFone 3 Ultra also has 300 Mbps 4G LTE and intuitive fingerprint security that unlocks it in a fraction of a second. In short, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is a serious smartphone with some really cool features. For its price, it does an amazing job. Just don’t expect it to be a flagship killer and you’ll be fine.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is a massive smartphone. The display on the device is bright and vivid; however it has black bezel around it and the screen is not visible in direct sunlight. Carrying the smartphone with you is not as easy as you would think; it doesn’t fit inside the pocket as well. Camera performance is sharp and accurate in daylight conditions only, and not too accurate in low. Battery life is great. So, only if you’re looking for an enormous entertainment product, go for Zenfone 3 Ultra.

The phone is priced at Rs. 49,999 which in my opinion is a bad pricing. You will find much better phones in the price range. But then, people are still buying this phone because it does have something to offer i.e a huge display and Asus has used top quality components to build the phone.

This at first glance looks pretty decent and promise a lot, but as you use it does not stand out in many fronts be it the camera the or the heating problem I faced while playing games, even the big screen might be a dealbreaker for some. all in all, I will suggest there are many other options in this range with the similar screen size that might fulfill all the needs expected from this Phablet or tablet.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is a decent smartphone, but it doesn't make sense at Rs. 49,999. The Xiaomi Mi Max is pretty much as fast and a more colourful screen. The Zenfone 3 Ultra does have a better camera, but it still doesn't belong in the premium range.

It scores heavily on multimedia, battery and design, but the fact is that the biggest stumbling block for the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra is likely to be its price of Rs 49,999. That is more than the Samsung Galaxy S7 at the time of writing and well above the likes of the OnePlus 3T, Moto Z Play and the Nubia Z11, all of which can compare favorably with it in terms of specs and performance in most regards. One area where the Ultra holds its own is in its role as a pocket theater, thanks to that display and sound with the battery chipping in to ensure that your videos go on for a while.

The ZenFone 3 Ultra is too big for one. Its sheer size and scale could be a major turn-off for many. Then again, it could have made a lot of sense for someone who is a multimedia junkie who loves to Netflix, or read e-books, or someone simply looking to replace their Android tablet with a full-functional phablet. But, it doesn't. If you're looking for a large phablet, you're better off saving (a lot of) money and buying the Xiaomi Mi Max. The only trade-off perhaps would be the camera, but all in all, the Mi Max is capable of hitting the ZenFone 3 Ultra straight out of the ball park, in every sense of the word.

Calling the Zenfone 3 Ultra, a phone, is a bit of a stretch. For that matter it transcends even the phablet category and is approaching small tablet standards. Marginally smaller than a Nexus 7, it really puts media consumption and battery life first. On those fronts, the phone excels with a very good screen though points could be deducted for it not being a Quad HD panel. The exemplary battery life further aids its claim of being a content consumption device.

If you are one of those who used to walk around with a full tablet to make you calls, then this might seem like a sophisticated upgrade. I am sure there are a lot of users who have genuine use for a smartphone that offers an extra-large screen and this will appeal to them. But I think a lot of buyers might get this for the camera and battery life, choosing to adjust and live with the larger build.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra left us with mixed feelings. While we really like the premium look and feel, the display, fingerprint sensor and software-based tweaks, the large size and occasional heating issues are the downsides.

If you like massive phones and have a lot of money to spend, the ZenFone 3 Ultra will be great to show off. We find that devices of this nature aren’t practical as everyday smartphones, but you might like to have something like this more as a tablet with a SIM card for mobile data and the occasional voice call.

If you are not sold on the large screen phenomenon, then you can look at the OnePlus 3 or the upcoming OnePlus 3T while saving over Rs 15,000 which will get you Xiaomi Mi Max as a backup device. You can add some more cash (if you can stretch your budget) and get Google Pixel or Google Pixel XL, the best Android smartphones out there.

Coming in with an RM2599 price tag and 6.8-inch full HD display, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is just 0.2-inches short of a full 7-inch tablet. Still, ASUS have done a very good job of shrinking the bezels so that it looks like a very large phone instead of a tablet phone. Featuring a flat and thin all metal design, the ZenFone 3 Ultra has "invisible antennas" or no visible antenna bands but is the only ZenFone 3 to put the fingerprint sensor in the home button (also the only one with a physical home button for that matter).

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra is, no doubt, the best phablet ASUS has ever made. A premium phablet, made out of metal and glass. It represents a massive upgrade in features and build quality over its predecessor, the ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE601KL). ASUS is definitely trying to move up the value chain.

If you are part of the target market that Asus is targeting for the Zenfone 3 Ultra, if you are one who wants and needs the size, and the overall immersive entertainment experience then this is finally the phone for you, finally, something Asus got right. Otherwise, if you were to it this phone against other with the same price range at P32,995 ($700US) then perhaps you should look elsewhere as there are far faster and better specs.

The Zenfone 3 Ultra is the biggest phablet that we’ve ever encountered so far this year, and its size is both its strength and weakness. On the upside, the phones huge display is a boon for people who watch a lot of movies and play games on the go. The downside is that it’s difficult to use as a daily driver, even if you have big hands. Its price too, is a limiting factor – at Php 32,995, it’s already going up against high-profile flagships that have better (but smaller) displays with nicer cameras and features.

With the Zenfone 3 Ultra, ASUS is not only trying to redefine the phablet, but also wants to set a benchmark on what a multimedia powerhouse smartphone should be. With that goal in mind, the company decided to just supersize everything. And if you’re the type who’s looking for a smartphone-slash-tablet, the Ultra seems like the almost perfect device.

ASUS’s 6.8-inch Zenfone 3 Ultra is a gigantic phablet decked out with hefty internals and a premium metal build. More tablet than a phone, the Zenfone 3 Ultra is ASUS’ attempt at making a high-end device that straddles the fine line between portable and unwieldy. Given the phablet’s flagship-level price, will ASUS succeed with the Zenfone 3 Ultra? Editor-at-large John Nieves explores that question and more in this video unboxing review.

Lastly the price, at RM2599 that shouts "flagship", that is not very convincing for a phone that only comes with mid-ranged Qualcomm Snapdragon 652. If and only if ASUS were to pair this phone with a flagship worthy SoC, it will definitely hold back quite a few potential customers because, at the same price, they can instead get a high spec ZenFone 3 Deluxe. Unless you're looking for a phone that is larger than a phablet for your day to day usage, then you might consider having ZenFone 3 Ultra in your pocket.

Aside from its sheer size, the Zenfone 3 Ultra faces an uphill battle as far as pricing is concerned. At Php 32,995, it’s already priced at flagship territory. ASUS is hoping the allure of a big-screen phone aimed at entertainment segment will be more than enough incentive for people to fork over money for the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Will it work? Only time will tell.

The ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is a good phone; for $200, you get a premium design, excellent battery life, and dual-SIM card support. With that said, there are also some significant drawbacks: the camera performance is just average, performance is bottlenecked by 2 GB of RAM, and the software design appears outdated.

As a whole, Asus did a commendable job at packing in a lot of smartphone into something that costs less than 1/3 of today’s premium flagships, at just $200. The design of the Laser might be a bit commonplace, but the nice materials being used for the phone’s construction do a great job at mimicking the look and feel of a much more expensive product.

Zenfone series from Asus is one of the very popular series of smartphones in budget smartphones category, however, not very popular in the mid-range segment. The latest in the Zenfone family, Asus Zenfone 3 laser offers a sleek unibody metal design. The smartphone is easy to use with one hand and offers decent daylight camera photography. Though, the images captured in low light are a little grainier. The smartphone offers a good performance and multitasking is also fun. However, if you’re looking for a device that could offer you both performance and battery life, than you can look for other smartphones such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Vibe K5 Note.

Asus ZenFone 3 Laser is a decent smartphone in the whole ZenFone 3 series. But despite the decent attempt at going with tried and tested way, there is no way that I would suggest this smartphone to anyone for the Rs 18,999. I would never pay this much money for a smartphone that has issues such as micro stutters and lags in operation, average camera and does not have essentials such as USB Type-C and fast charging in 2016.

The Laser series by the Taiwanese company has over the time spoilt us by offering good quality cameras at a comparatively lower price. The price is higher this time around, but while the device has scored well on the camera and the battery front, we feel it couldn’t really step it up in terms of performance – blame it on the processor perhaps. The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser scores a few brownie points but will find the going tough against the likes of the Lenovo Z2 Plus and Le Eco Le Max 2 which offer the top notch Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor at a similar price. We think the Laser definitely has its task ‘cut’ out when it comes to giving other phones in its price segment some stiff competition.

A premium looking phone from such a recognized brand can be better off competing for the spec-oriented devices. Not saying that the ZenFone 3 Laser is underpowered by its specs, people do expect other things rather than just specs. A good camera, a great design along with a better display and better battery backup, a phone that fits well in the hands may not be found in the phones that boast its hardware.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is the larger variant in ZenFone 3 series sized at 5.5-inch featuring laser autofocus and a metallic design along with 2.5D curved glass. ZenFone 3 series is now focusing on the premium segment rather picking up the highly competitive budget price bracket that is already dominated by the brands like Xiaomi, Lenovo, and LeEco. ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is priced at ₹18,999. We have shared our hands-on review below.

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has some points in its favour: I like the design, the camera is good but can be painfully slow in most situations, and the battery life will be enough for most regular users. The problem for Asus Zenfone 3 Laser isn’t competition from other phones, it is from the brand itself. The Zenfone 3 Max has a lot more battery on offer, and comes in a cheaper variant as well. Plus, there are phones with better processors like Lenovo Z2 Plus with Snapdragon 820 available at Rs 17,999 in the market. With the Snapdragon 430, Zenfone 3 Laser seems overpriced at Rs 18,999.

Priced at Rs 18,999, ASUS has priced the Zenfone 3 Laser at a premium. But looking at the specs offered by the device, it definitely feels underpowered at this price segment. Redmi 3S Prime sporting the same processor is priced 8999. So it is definitely hard to recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser at this pricing, probably the best pricing for this devicee would have been sub 15k. The only saving grace for this device is the camera, but then for this pricing the device is not the best value for money.

At the end of the day, the ZF3 Laser is a great mid-range phone that’s not out of reach for most working class Juans out there. It’s a solid performer, and can handle most, if not all, Android apps you throw at it. It has an impressive camera as well, and as long as you do your part, it’s capable of producing really good photos in a pinch. At Php 11,995, it’s slight more expensive than the ZF3 Max, but the extra cash you spend for it is worth it.

The handset can easily last one full day of use with light to medium use which I feel is decent enough for a 3,000mAh battery. If you are looking to buy a phone with great camera and a decent battery life then look no more, It has everything one looks for a daily use mobile. It looks great, has an impressive screen and a beautiful UI. I just wish Asus would have used a better processor, but even now it is one of the best camera phones you can buy under 20,000INR.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has a better camera than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, LeEco Le 2, Lenovo Z2 Plus and Xiaomi Mi Max. However, these phones are also miles ahead in performance.

The biggest problem for the ZF3 Laser we feel is price. If ASUS launched this particular phone earlier, at least along with the ZF3 Max, it could have had a good head-start against all the other Snapdragon 430-equipped phones coming out this holiday season. As it stands it faces very stiff competition from several local and international brands.

Xiaomi's Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime (Review) are powered by the same octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, and are priced below Rs. 10,000.

Overall, the ASUS ZenFone 3 ZC553KL ticks all the boxes in terms of design, performance, battery life and price. Currently at RM869, it is well below RM1K and fairly affordable while providing a good, long-lasting smartphone experience that will satisfy Malaysia’s masses. It also looks fairly good with its thin metal body and could easily be mistaken for a more premium phone.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Max is a decent all-round product, with a good mix of features and performance. The design is good and the phone feels well built. The display quality is impressive and one of the best in its class. The performance for day to day is adequate and the battery life is excellent. It also ships with a fairly decent set of cameras. Overall, nothing that will blow you away but pretty good nonetheless.

Asus ZenFone AR ZS571KL
While the mobile AR and VR space tends to feel lackluster as of late there still seems to be some manufacturers trying to innovate and this time around Asus has tried to deliver by combining AR and VR hardware into the actual device itself. The device in question is the Asus ZenFone AR-ZS571KL, while the name may not roll of the tongue easily it seems promising. Powering this device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 SoC, up to 256 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM and not one or two but three front facing cameras. The amount of front facing cameras seems like a first in the entire industry yet it is as convincing as your regular smartphone, everything on this phone screams over the top. However how does the chassis fare? While every ZenFon was different in terms of material choice it seems that Asus has chosen a metal frame backed by leather for the casing this time. Overall rigidity of the phone remains satisfactory with minimal flex. Moving on to the display the Asus ZenFone AR-ZS571KL sports a 5.7-inch 1440p super AMOLED display which is very vibrant and bright. Naturally as this is an AR/VR phone one should note that Asus claims that one of the main features is the ability to mix virtual objects into the real world just by viewing through the phone’s display. Through Google’s computer vision software and the phone’s sensors the ZenFone AR is able to allow for spatial awareness and motion detection. This allows the phone to detect how far it is away from walls and objects. What’s more interesting is the learning experience and games such as Solar Simulator which brings space into your room. The ZenFone AR also has support for google daydream and runs all of the same software. As VR/AR devices tend to get hot Asus has promised that it will use an “Advance Vapor Cooling System” which should keep temperatures in check while utilizing the AR/VR function. Naturally AR wouldn’t be able to function without the cameras, which the Asus has 3 of them mainly its 23 MP, 8 MP and a depth sensor. With all of this hardware battery life might take a nosedive, fortunately Asus has chosen to use a 3300 mAh battery which is decent for a phone of this size. Of course, you can’t get everything you want but at least the ZenFone AR is preloaded with Android 7 Nougat which should keep this device up to date. Final words being, while this may not be the first AR phone it is actually both the first AR and VR phone which is well optimized for its given use case, however users should give this device some time to iron out any other kinks just in case.

Enhanced Reality. Asus's ZenFone AR combines Augmented Reality with Virtual Reality: it is, after all, the first smartphone ever certified for Google Tango as well as Daydream. The most interesting question is whether or not its AR- and VR-features justify its high price of approximately $770.

To conclude, the Asus Zenfone AR does a pretty impressive job in handling most of the virtual and augmented reality apps. Though the whole AR and VR experience work really good, still, it is just not the right time to buy a smartphone just for these experiences, as it really needs to grow at an exponential rate to offer more to the consumers, especially in terms of productivity and everyday usability.

The Asus ZenFone AR came just at the wrong time. It's one of those strange cases where all of its technological advancement is redundant straight out of the box. As surprised as we are to see it launched, it's still kind of exciting to see what Tango could have become.

If you're an early adopter of next-generation technology or perhaps a developer looking to make inroads in AR/VR, the Asus ZenFone AR is technically the only phone in the market right now to support both these technologies out-of-the-box. As for the rest of the world, well, can we have a moment of warm appreciation for Asus? Raise a toast maybe? The company just created history after all.

If you’re an Asus fan, we suggest waiting for the ZenFone 4 Pro to see if the problems found here are remedied in the company’s true flagship device. If AR is super important to you, then you can buy the ZenFone AR and know that you’ll have a decently performing phone with dreadful battery life, heating issues, and an inconsistent camera behind its marquee feature. Otherwise, in the $600 - $700 range – and even below this – there’s a wealth of better options. The LG G6, OnePlus 5, U11 – even the Galaxy S8 is now within this price-point. It’s hard to see why anyone should choose the ZenFone AR over these better executed, better looking, flagship heavyweights.

The good news here for ASUS is that the ZenFone AR is a good phone overall. Though it is rocking a previous generation Snapdragon 821 SoC, it is still a pretty fast handset. It also has copious amounts of storage and memory, a premium design, quality cameras, and some nifty tricks that are made possible by ZenUI. And while the AR and VR experiences are limited at this point in time, there are some cool apps to play with now, along with whatever might be in the pipeline from developers going forward.

The ZenFone AR is reasonably priced on Verizon at $648 or $27 per month. This is a good price for a high-end smartphone with unique AR capability. It is built well for the enterprise with AR/VR, high-capacity RAM and storage, and more. I would like to have seen some level of water resistance for field use and the phone does heat up with extensive AR use.

Overall, the ZenFone AR is a really powerful smartphone. The benchmark scores speak for themselves, carrying out graphic demading games, AR and VR performance which is just great, very good camera quality and the DIY cardbox VR viewer is a nice touch. However, at this moment there aren't too many engaging AR and VR apps for the ZenFone AR, not to mention the annoying heating issue that appears on the four sides of the device. I think the battery could use some improvement as well, maybe adding more up to 3500mAh or more so that you can have more time for AR and VR.

Lenovo's Phab2 Pro might have been first, but the ZenFone AR's superior hardware makes it the best Tango device yet. That's not really saying much, though: The Tango experience isn't much better than it was a year ago, and there still isn't much there to win over people who haven't already bought into Google's AR vision. If you're already tantalized by the potential of augmented reality to change how we see the world, the ZenFone AR is worth looking into. For literally everyone else who just wants a damn good all-around smartphone, there's little here for you.

For $699, the Asus ZenFone AR is a solid phablet that serves as a showcase for the potential of AR. The slimmed-down design and relatively powerful hardware make it more accessible to the average user than the Phab 2 Pro, but it also costs $200 more. That price puts it in competition with flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8, which is a smaller, sleeker, more powerful, and generally better phone in every regard. Unless you're an early adopter keen on experiencing AR, the Galaxy S8 remains our Editors' Choice for phones in this price range. If you're looking for a more affordable option, the OnePlus 5 is half the price and includes a dual-sensor camera with optical zoom. AR on phones might be the future, but the ZenFone AR shows we aren't there quite yet.

While I would recommend the phone for its overall capabilities, I am not sure it is time yet to buy a phone just for AR or VR. For anyone to do that these technologies have to be able to offer more for the consumer in terms of usability and productivity. Also remember, this is not a cheap phone by any standards, thankfully Asus has packed in only premium features in the phone.

The Asus Zenfone AR is an incredible piece of kit for those looking for something AR- and VR-ready, as it’s the only smartphone to boast both Project Tango and Google Daydream support. The AR capabilities are incredible, although it’s somewhat limited by the apps available on Google Play at the moment. Moving beyond that, the smartphone is sleek, gorgeous and features an incredibly detailed WQHD display that’s more than enough to display the highly detailed images you’ll capture on the rear-facing 23Mp snapper. The only downside to this amazing piece of tech is the software – it features ZenUI on top of Android 7.0 along with a fair bit of non-removable bloatware.

The Asus Zenfone AR is a great demo for augmented reality and Daydream virtual reality, even if it shows AR is begging for more great apps. However, it’s a tough sell when the phone costs as much as a Galaxy S8 Plus but has a less striking design, no water resistance and less power.

The Asus Zenfone AR is an incredible piece of kit for those looking for something AR- and VR-ready, as it’s the only smartphone to boast both Project Tango and Google Daydream support. The AR capabilities are incredible, although it’s somewhat limited by the apps available on Google Play at the moment. Moving beyond that, the smartphone is sleek, gorgeous and features an incredibly detailed WQHD display that’s more than enough to display the highly detailed images you’ll capture on the rear-facing 23Mp snapper. The only downside to this amazing piece of tech is the software – it features ZenUI on top of Android 7.0 along with a fair bit of non-removable bloatware.

The Asus Zenfone AR is a great demo for augmented reality and Daydream virtual reality, even if it shows AR is begging for more great apps. However, it’s a tough sell when the phone costs as much as a Galaxy S8 Plus but has a less striking design, no water resistance and less power.

In January at CES in Las Vegas, we got our first look at the Asus ZenFone AR. It's the first phone that lets you use Google Tango AR and Google Daydream VR, and on Wednesday we were finally able to get our hands on it to review.

The ASUS ZenFone AR has an average battery uptime for a phone that does regular smartphone tasks expectedly, and it’s sufficient for performing its intended AR purposes. If we’re looking strictly at the ZenFone range, this is certainly ASUS’s most powerful phone to date, even if it has subpar imaging performance for its class. Moderate phone capabilities aside, the ridiculous asking price begets certain baseline smartphone expectations, which ASUS seems to actively work against on multiple points –they are listed below.

The ZenFone AR is an example of a new direction that the smartphone industry could head in. Instead of simply beefing up the internals, Asus offers a set of new experiences on a single smartphone. What the ZenFone AR offers at the moment is unique, but it is a niche product for people who might have a use for AR, rather than a great phone which also has that feature. If you want to be among the first to experience AR, or simply show off, this is the phone for you.

At a price of Rs 49,999, the Asus Zenfone AR is offering an excellent display, brilliant camera, a flagship processor - all the specs that are part of any other flagship smartphone. But that's not it, with the combination of augmented reality and virtual reality, there is no doubt that the Asus Zenfone AR has a significant edge over its competitors.

The only problem is whether AR will be worth paying big bucks for. All those extra cameras aren’t cheap, and if you don’t plan on using the tech, the ZenFone AR is undeniably expensive. It’s also using an older-gen CPU, and camera quality isn’t quite up to scratch compared to the other big-name phones doing the rounds right now.

To sum up, the Zenfone AR does gives us a glimpse of the future, but talking about current scenarios, it is still in very niche stage. The implementation of Tango looks promising, but there are not many apps available in the market to support this technology. As for the specs are concerned, the smartphone does sports some interesting hardware and will surely give a stiff competition to the likes of OnePlus 5, LG G6, Apple iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8.

But in truth the ZenFone AR may turn out to be more of a technology demonstrator than a product that will fly off the shelves. Shoving multiple cameras and top-tier hardware in a phone like the ZenFone AR isn’t cheap, and while ASUS hasn’t said a word about pricing (we’ll all have to learn about it on the 24th), we expect it to be at least as expensive as Samsung’s Galaxy S8+.

All in all the Zenfone AR is one cool device because it features a technology not found in most smartphones. Tango provides the user with a different level of mobile experience and gives you a glimpse into the future of Augmented Reality. However, that coolness currently has its limitations as not a lot of apps have been developed for it yet, but here lies its potential as well.

That’s pretty much it for this quick unboxing and review. We’ll be using the ZenFone AR as our primary phone in the next few days, hopefully we’ll be done with the review process by next week. We still have no price point for the phone, but considering its positioning expect it command a premium price.

Regardless, I’m definitely looking forward to the Asus ZenFone AR. It’s a promising little device, and while Google Tango is still in relative infancy – the technology is only available on the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro for now – the ZenFone AR may help push the technology further. Let’s just hope the ZenFone AR won’t cost an arm and a leg when it’s officially available for purchase.

You also get USB-C charging, a standard headphone socket, a physical home button with an integrated fingerprint sensor. So, even without Tango and Daydream, the ZenFone AR is definitely a noteworthy flagship phone. It packs powerful tech, an excellent screen, and impressive cameras into a slim form factor - and we're looking forward to really giving it a whirl when it releases in the second quarter of 2017.

There are actually two variants of Zenfone AR: 4GB and 8 GB of RAM. Choosing the top-tier model would mean picking an ultrafast performer as it pairs the huge Random Access Memory space with Snapdragon 821.

On the Tango end of things, there are already around 30 available apps, including a virtual dinosaur exhibit from the American Museum of Natural History and a Hot Wheels app that lets you build elaborate, virtual car tracks.

Asus went bold with Zenfone AR. Display, RAM, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Camera - everything is done the way we would expect it to be from a flagship phone. Let's just hope it stands the test of time (and our review routine).

Even without the dual whammy of augmented and virtual reality tech, the ZenFone AR is an exciting phone. It certainly looks very nice - particularly compared to the previous Tango phone, the far chunkier Phab 2 Pro; it really is impressive that Asus has managed to pack all that tech into a smartphone this slim.

Props to Asus for cramming both Daydream and Tango into a phone that looks this good, but good luck to anyone who can use ZenUI on a daily basis without running into a wall. Still, I haven’t ever been this excited to fully review an Asus phone. Bring on the Tango.
