Asus new smartphone: Asus Z01B

This mysterious Asus new smartphone was spotted on GFXBench with a model number of Z01B. It is said that the Z01B number refers to the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL. From GFXBench specs sheet, the Asus new smartphone will flaunt a 5.5-inch full HD display along with at least 5 fingers gesture support. This handset is much similar to the latest Asus smartphone Zenfone 3 which has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect its touch screen.

Moving on Asus new smartphone specs, considering the Adreno 505 GPU, it must be either the Snapdragon 430 or Snapdragon 435 will be sported in tow. It also packs 2GB of RAM alongside an octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz. One more resemblance between Asus new smartphone and Zenfone 3, they both run on Android Mashmallow, which is believed to be updated to the latest Android N.

ZenFone series is quite popular along with mid-range features and affordable prices. So does Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. But it is not good enough to attract the buyers because of its cons below, read on.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra: good things to satisfy users

Firstly, Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra flaunts a massive display. With this 6.8-inch full HD display, the Asus smartphone is called “phablet”. Thus its dimensions are 186.4 x 93.9 x 6.8 mm, which is a bit bigger than normal smartphones. Asus seems to target this beast for entertaining purpose rather than just calling and messaging. Secondly, Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra screen resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels, which means its density is 324 ppi pixel. It is good enough to click clear images. Moreover, the Zenfone handset seems to be a bezel-less version, which increases screen-to-body ratio.

Thirdly, Asus Ultra is known by its audio speakers other than its large screen. The Taiwanese smartphone packs dual speakers running Sony Master 3.0 technology in tow. Such feature performs live and loud music when listening to playlists, playing games, or when watching a movie on the phone. Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra specs are not just stopping here, when using earphones, 7.1 surround sound will be emitted. This kind of technology is a technique for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio channels from speakers.

Fourthly, the smartphone supports a staggering 4600 mAh battery. For people who moderately use smartphones, such battery can keep the phone up for one day without playing games. Also, the battery is backed up by Quick Charge 3.0 which allow Fast battery charging within 1 hour. As for Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra cameras, there is a 23MP shooter on the rear coupled with an 8MP snapper on the front.

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra: disadvantage

Finally, the only Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra drawback that I can find is its detection autofocus. Although the phone is equipped with Sony IMX318 sensor, the level contrast and face autofocus are not good enough when being tested compared to other smartphones. Hopefully, this feature will be updated to enhance higher performance.

Max smartphone- Huawei is about to release a new phone like this with the name of Honor 8 Max. Today, let’s recap the top best Max smartphones in the market with us!
