ASUS Zenfone family has recently welcomed a new member: the Asus Zenfone 3. Though it comes with totally new design with several major improvements in terms of hardware, it is priced quite higher than others in the same line. Let’s find out whether Asus Zenfone 3 is a worth buying device or not.

Asus Zenfone 3: stunning design and fancy display

Zenfone 3 has finally been designed with the sleek form and gorilla glass 3 on both sides. On the rear sides, it is designed with the concentric circle pattern and aluminium alloy frame. The power button stays with the volume rockers on the right while the sim card tray is on the left. The camera looks pretty vulnerable when it rises above the surface of the back a bit. However, you do not have to worry about that: the camera has metal edges and sapphire glass coating for extra protection.

The Asus-made Zenfone 3 has 2 variations: ZE520KL with a 5.2 inch full HD IPS+ display, and ZE552KL with a larger screen of 5.5 inch. Other than sizes, these 2 variations feature the same specs. As stated above, there is Gorilla Glass 3 on top to protect the sceen. In terms of display quality, there has been quite an improvement and the look is fancier. It’s just that Zenfone 3 still doesn’t have a backlight on the capacitive buttons.

Asus Zenfone 3: legit performance for a budget price

Zenfone 3 runs on the decent Snapdragon 625 octa-core A53 processor clocked at 2 GHz. The ZE520KL has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM. In terms of graphics, the handset comes with Adreno 506 GPU. Though it can process daily tasks without breaking a sweat, playing demanding graphics game will drop some frames in their games display. One more plus point is that Zenfone 3 uses glass for the back; which helps in moderating the heat during operation. If you force the device into high usage level ( 4G, GPS, Games, Sunlight exposure, all together), the phone will definitely heat up but it is still bearable.

Asus Zenfone 3: High-end Camera from Sony

It seems that Asus paid great attention to the camera of Zenfone 3. This is the feature which received most improvements among all of the enhanced parts of the device. That being said, this Asus mobile comes with 16MP Sony Exmor RS IMX298 6-element laser lens shooter with dual-tone LED flash. The second generation laser, which is used by ‘tritech’ autofocus, helps in shortening the time of phase detection and conventional contrast detection to 0.03 seconds. The autofocus is also excellent. If you are an athletic user, you sure can trust Zenfone 3 with OIS (optical image stabilization) for image and EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) for video; these will help you producing stabilized photos and video even when you are being active.

Asus Zenfone 3: 4 reasons it’s worth every penny

Asus sure did some great improvements for Zenfone 3. It fits well with most of the daily task for a regular user; we can also play heavy games and keep our 4G connection available all the time with the battery usage of up to half a day; even the heat is not a big problem for this phone, thanks to its glass material adaptation. With 2 variations, Asus Zenfone 3 ZE520KL is price is at around 340 USD while ZE552KL is available at 430 USD.

The world of mobile phones is basically divided into two main parts: Android users and iOS users. The iOS users can be pretty loyal fans to their device manufacturer. However, we have 5 reasons why an Android smartphone would be a smarter choice than that of an iOS.

1. Android smartphone over iPhone: A wider variety of choices

Apple sure offers a wide range of device with variations in terms of size, specs and also software updates. However, if at this moment, you suddenly feel like having a small, compact with classic look, there is no way you can purchase for a new iPhone SE. With Android smartphones, things are far easier. You can choose many devices from different manufacturers.

In case you need a large screen phone with a style, Samsung can give you a whole package in their Note series; while you have to buy a separate Apple Pencil. One more thing is that whenever the battery of your Android smartphone goes dead, you can easily replace it with a new one. For iPhone, there is no way you can open the back of the device to replace the battery without screw drivers and even x-acto knife; not even mention your official guarantee will be gone in this case.

2. Android smartphone over iPhone: Micro SD Card Support

Having an extra gigabyte of photos that you do not want to upload to the Cloud or online Drive? You can totally store them in the Micro SD Card, which is widely supported by almost every Android smartphones. Feel like adding up another 128 GB for offline video recording, photos and editing? Piece of cake for Android smartphones. However, things will not be that easy if you are using an iOS. Micro SD Card has never been supported on iPhone, which makes extending internal storage for an iPhone is near to impossible. If you need more storage, there are only two options: you can either purchase another device with larger internal storage or buy your online storage service.

3. Android smartphone over iPhone: Download Movies and Music from Anywhere

Remember the painful process of transferring your music, data and movies into your iPhone? iTunes sure offers great look, but that’s all about it. It will not help you converting all types of files to be readable on your iPhone; all have to be processed by another application and the quality of the files sure gets decreased.
