TheRefurbished Asus ZenFone 3 Laser is powered by 1.4GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and it comes with 4GB of RAM. The phone packs 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Asus ZenFone 3 Laser packs a 13-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies. Asus Zenfone 3 Laser detailed review Remember the teacher’s pet back in school? The kid who would ruin things for all others? That’s pretty much how the sub-20k market works today. Phones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and LeEco Le 2 ruin things for most other companies. But, does that mean everyone should, or may, provide the same value? Well, Asus doesn’t think so. The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser is priced at Rs. 18,999, almost double its predecessor, and its specifications do not match its price tag, following current market trends. Why, then, is Asus betting that you’ll buy this phone? Here’s what we found in our review of the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser. Build and Design Starting with the obvious, the Zenfone 3 Laser looks similar to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. However, I prefer this design. The Laser decidedly feels lighter, thinner and more premium as well, giving it ergonomic value over its competitors. The phone nestles in your palm and the curves near the edges make it easier to use with one hand. While it does look like the Redmi Note 3, the Zenfone 3 Laser is thinner and lighter To be clear, the Zenfone 3 Laser isn’t perfectly suited for single-handed usage, but it’s still a pretty efficient design. The back has a metallic finish, which feels good, especially because of its smudge resistant, and oleophobic properties. It’s smooth and seamless, and feels more “metallic” than similarly designed phones. The body also seems well put-together and sturdy, capable of withstanding usual scratches, like those caused by keys in pocket. It may get scratched if dropped, though. The only real fault in the design is in the cuts for the micro-USB port and screws at the bottom. You probably won’t even feel them, but running your fingers across these holes reveal lack of polish. The corners of these holes are sharp, and can occasionally leave marks on your hands. The capacitive buttons on the front aren't backlit Asus' concentric circles design is seen only on the Power On/Off button and Volume Rocker Also, the capacitive back, home and recents buttons below the display aren’t backlit. Personally, I don’t mind that, but many do. You’ll find the earpiece, front camera and sensor hub above the display, and the soon-to-be obsolete if Apple has its way headphone jack is on the top as well. The biggest misstep with the Zenfone 3 Laser’s design is in the fingerprint sensor. Asus decided to go with one on the back, but with a thinner, rectangular design. This reduces the surface area for your finger to interact with the sensor, and makes it tougher to find. While it’s good at recognising your print, the smaller surface area makes it seem slower because you’ll often be shifting your finger to find the right spot. This, combined with the rather slow phone more on that later, makes the fingerprint sensor quite unsavoury. Interestingly, Asus’ peculiar concentric circles’ design can only be found on the home button, and the volume rocker on the right. This, for me, is a big positive. The concentric circles looked good on the Zenfone 5 and that family, but I’ve found them disagreeable on all Asus phones since then. The phone also has a sizeable camera bump at the back, with a shiny metal lining around the camera unit. On either sides of this are the dual-LED flash and the Laser AF system. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the Zenfone 3 Laser’s design. Yes, Asus can refine it more, but it’s still one of the better-designed smartphones in this price range. It feels premium enough, and is even quite ergonomic, despite the display. Display You’re looking at a pretty pixel-dense display, measuring 401ppi and with a curved screen on top. It’s reasonably good with colours, although it doesn’t provide the deepest blacks. It’s on the upper end of the IPS LCD family, though, and that should satisfy most. Asus also allows you to tweak the display’s colour temperature, hue etc., using its preinstalled Hue app. There’s a slight shift in colours from some angles, but not enough to complain. The achieves maximum luminance of 598 Lux, which is not the best but works. While colours and sharpness aren’t really an issue, I’m not a big fan of the display’s reflectiveness. The glossy display affects sunlight visibility, which isn’t the best, and LED lights in your home will also be in conflict. You may have to hold the phone in your hand throughout full movies, unless you find a spot away from light sources. Further, Asus uses Corning Gorilla Glass for the screen, which is fine. However, the display is somewhat weak against oily fingers. Moreover, the touch sensitivity doesn’t seem as good as it is on most smartphones today, irrespective of price. Touch latency is good enough, but the display doesn’t feel very premium. User Interface Even Asus’ ZenUI does not feel premium. The Zenfone 3 Laser, like all other phones in the Zenfone 3 family, have ZenUI layered over Android Marshmallow, to be precise. Asus’ UI is bloated and lacks polish. There’s just too much happening on the phone. I can’t remember a time when an Asus app didn’t notify me of something I didn’t care about. Even the Splendid app, which tweaks display temperature, could simply have been put into the Settings menu. Instead, Asus created a whole new app for it, adding to clutter and disturbance. You have apps like Do It Later, Flashlight, Go2Pay, Mobile Manager, MiniMovie, Puffin and so on. All of these can be replaced by better apps from the Play Store, and I had little use for them. There’s even a Game Genie that’ll appear as a floating bubble while you game. It makes no sense, since the Zenfone 3 Laser struggles to render high frame rates on graphically intensive games in the first place. Asus has even provided a Laser Ruler app, which apparently uses the Laser auto-focus to measure the distance to an object. The app, however, can’t measure anything over 50 centimetres, and I didn’t find any practical real-world use case for it. Most of Asus’ apps can’t be uninstalled, either. You can disable them to avoid annoying notifications, but you’d still not get that lost space back, and each megabyte matters today. This is even more of an issue because all of these apps are asking for additional permissions to run, and that can be irksome. Bloatware aside, ZenUI feels like the early days of Samsung’s Touchwiz. I find it childish, and an UI made simply for the sake of differentiation. If there are background enhancements to the Android software, they’re not discernible on regular usage, and that makes the UI all the more unnecessary. The only aspect of ZenUI that’s useful and you’ll really use is Pixelmaster which is built into the camera app. We’ll discuss this when we get to the camera. Performance For me, the most disappointing aspect of the Zenfone 3 Laser is its performance. It’s a slow smartphone that doesn’t justify its price tag. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 SoC makes sense on a sub-10k smartphone, but not here, and especially not with a Snapdragon 820-powered device available at a lower price point the Lenovo Z2 Plus. In practice, you’ll easily find lags and stutters on the Zenfone 3 Laser. It lags heavily on games like Injustice Gods Among Us and Asphalt 8, and takes considerable durations to load. The phone’s slow single-core performance speeds increase app load times - for anything from Facebook to Subway Surfer, and calling one app from another results in noticeable lags. As mentioned before, the fingerprint sensor is slow as well. The upside with all this is that the Zenfone 3 Laser doesn’t heat up. Under a temperature of 24 degree Celsius outside, the Laser doesn’t rise beyond 38 degrees after over 15 minutes of gaming, and recording video for 10 minutes takes the temperature to about degrees. This, though, is warranted, given the weak performance. The Snapdragon 430 doesn’t support 4K video, which is disappointing for a camera-centric smartphone, and I’m willing to trade a few degrees for better performance. The Zenfone 3 Laser is slower than a last-gen smartphone like the Moto X Play. The Power Management settings offer slight customisation to the performance. You can choose between Super Saving, Power Saving, Normal and Performance modes. The temperatures above are on the Normal mode, and turning on Performance Mode doesn’t bring much of a difference, either. Our Asus Zenfone 3 Laser stress test has more on this. Camera The absence of snappy, fluid performance also means that the camera app takes a second to load. This means that you’ll often miss a moment, because the camera was loading. However, when it does load, the Zenfone 3 Laser does a reasonably good job. It has a 13MP f/ camera with the Sony IMX214 sensor and pixel size. It’s quite good under well-lit conditions and sunlight outdoors. Under white LED lights, the phone loses some details to noise, and images aren’t very sharp. However, colours are retained quite well across various lighting conditions. Essentially, you’ll be fine unless you’re zooming into photos. Asus Zenfone 3 Laser Camera Samples Asus says, the Laser AF system focuses in seconds, which may even be true under ideal conditions. In practice, though, your hand shakes and the phone will keep changing focus points the longer you point the camera at a subject. Moreover, Laser AF is best suited for close-up photography, and during low light shots. And that is where the Zenfone 3 Laser excels. Under low light, close-ups are decent, but the phone creates considerable noise and loses a lot of details when shooting scenes. Low light shots are considerably enhanced by the low light mode, though, and it is well ahead of most of its competitors. Here again, speed matters. Asus’ slow camera makes it difficult to just point and shoot. You’ll get good photos if you have the time to fix focus manually, or by tapping the screen, but the auto mode isn’t very dependable. On auto, the camera sometimes messes up the white balance and subdues colours. Pixelmaster This is where Pixelmaster comes in. Asus’ camera app gives you a Manual mode with control over ISO, White Balance, Exposure Value, Focus and Shutter Speed. There are also Super Resolution, Low Light, Manual, HDR Pro, Beautification and Children modes. Of these, the low light mode is the really useful one, but it also adds a few button taps, thereby increasing the time taken to shoot a photo. This mode basically increases image brightness, while softening the details. It’s useful, but would have been better had Asus made it a part of the regular Pixelmaster algorithm than instead of adding a separate button for it. The Super Resolution mode allows you to take 52MP photos, by taking multiple images using the 13MP camera and then combining them together. You can have some fun with it, but it remains more of a gimmick, as it has been before. In general, you’ll be using the auto-mode most often, which can shoot in HDR, HDR Auto and simple auto modes. Battery A 3000mAh battery drives the Zenfone 3 Laser, and as in the Zenfone 3, it lasts quite long. On heavy usage, with lots of browsing, calling, texts, IMs, social networking, and some video, the phone dropped from 80% to 20% battery in about 8-9 hours. That’s quite good, considering the usage. A full workday’s battery life is easily obtainable, and for many others, it’ll run for over a day and a half. In practice, charging it every night should be enough, which is pretty much the industry standard. The Performance Mode doesn’t seem to affect battery life much either, which is warranted given that the performance doesn’t increase much, either. You can use Asus’ power manager when needed, but it’s pretty standard. The more intense power saving modes turn off the mobile data and limit both the processor, and screen brightness. I wonder how difficult it would be to drop the screen resolution as well, though. That’s a feature I quite liked on Huawei’s EMUI. Bottomline 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. In my opinion, what those phones lack in the camera department, they more than make up for in others, and that’s why I wouldn’t recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser over them. Asus has done a good job designing this phone, and it has a decent display as well, but there are ifs and buts all over, and the phone is not very good in overall terms. If you want a camera-centric smartphone, the Nubia Z11 Mini which we’ll be reviewing soon is a better buy. It’s cheaper and faster than the Zenfone 3 Laser, with a very good camera.

AsusZenFone is a series of Android smartphones designed, marketed and produced by Asus.The first-generation ZenFones were announced at the 2014 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.In addition to its Intel Atom, Qualcomm Snapdragon, and MediaTek processors and the Android operating system, some ZenFone also features the Zen UI, a user interface from Asus.

Asus announced the ZenFone 3 series during Computex 2016. The company launched three devices, and the Zenfone 3 Laser was announced after Computex. We have already reviewed Asus ZenFone 3 Max and Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra, and in this review, I will be talking about the Asus ZenFone 3 Laser. As expected from the announcements, ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Max and Zenfone 3 Ultra, all cater to a particular subset of the audience and work well for what they offer. You can check out the detailed breakup of the three smartphones in the reviews done for the devices. Asus Zenfone 3 Laser is pegged to be the camera-centric smartphone with Laser autofocus mechanism and the stresses on delivering good image quality. Build and Design / 10 Asus ZenFone 3 Laser comes with an inspiring design, and the philosophy follows the general guidelines set by the ZenFone 3 series, going with an all metal body. You get the physical navigation buttons on the bottom which can't be reassigned and are not backlit. There is no textured back or fancy design element to make it stand out in the sea of smartphones in the same or even lower price bracket. According to the website, the smartphone weighs 150g with dimensions of 149 x 76 x mm. The overall feel of the device is sturdy with no squeaky or loose parts, thereby giving it a durable feel. You will find the volume rocker and the power button on the top right side of the smartphone with the SIM tray located on the top of the left side of the smartphone. One thing to note is that the Sand Gold variant gives the smartphone a dull look which is not the case in the Asus ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Max, ZenFone 3 Ultra or even the ZenFone 3 Deluxe. The fingerprint sensor comes on the back of the smartphone, and it does not come in the circular form factor as most smartphones have these days. Instead, the fingerprint sensor comes in a narrow rectangle with rounded corners. This form factor of the fingerprint sensor makes it difficult for the users despite the increase in the surface area, as the increased yet restricted surface area reduces the accurate detection of the fingerprint. You will find the speaker grill along with the microUSB port on the bottom edge of the smartphone with the headphone jack on the top. Features 7 / 10 Asus ZenFone 3 Laser packs an Octa-core Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 processor clocked at with Adreno 505 GPU. I got the 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage variant for review. But the phone also comes in 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage option. If you are running out of storage space, then you can add a microSD card up to 256GB in the second SIM slot. Laser has a IPS LCD with an effective resolution of 1080x1920 at 401ppi pixel density covered with Gorilla Glass 3 for additional protection. Asus has added a 13MP camera module along with laser autofocus with f/ aperture dual-tone LED flash on the back. This camera module is capable of shooting video at 1080p resolution at 30fps. Also, the phone sports an 8MP camera module with f/ aperture on the front. ZenFone 3 Laser is equipped with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot, Bluetooth GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS and BDS, microUSB port with fast-charging support sort of depending on the max current supplied by the adapter and USB On-The-Go support. The smartphone also provides headphone jack on the top side of the smartphone, IR port and FM radio support along with hybrid dual SIM slots one nano SIM + one micro SIM or one nano SIM + one microSD. The company has added fingerprint sensor on the rear side of the smartphone right below the camera module along with an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and compass sensors. You get a 3000mAh Lithium-Ion non-removable battery in the device which performs decently. Display / 10 Asus ZenFone 3 Laser has a respectable FullHD IPS LCD display. The display seems to hold on its own during daily usage. The screen is reflective, and you will face discomfort while working in direct sunlight and will need to re-adjust your viewing angles. One thing to note is that the screen brightness seems to be strangely low. The LCD IPS display provides decent viewing angles despite seeming a bit dim when viewed from sides. But overall, I had a good time while reading, web browsing, gaming or watching videos on the display. The colours, contrast and vibrancy of the display was fairly decent at all times. There is no special mode for outdoors, and I wish that Asus had added something for the direct-in-sun workflow which could make working easier. Software 7 / 10 Asus ZenFone 3 Laser runs Android Marshmallow out of the box along with the custom ZenUI on the top of the OS. There are elements like the three quick-launch options on the lock-screen and the folder-style on the home screen that could have been better. Thankfully ZenUI does give you the option to turn the quick-launch options off which helps it give more AOSP like experience. Asus has packed 'Mobile Manager' as part of its ZenUI which gives you information on data usage, power saving modes, notifications and privacy and security. This works amazingly in principle, giving you quick access to everything important that you need to take control of. But also, they have added 'Cleanup' and 'Boost' options on the 'Mobile Manager' which doesn't make sense to me. Primarily because anyone who is familiar with Android architecture and the changes done since Android Kitkat the OS has evolved sufficiently to make sure that user experience remains unaffected in the long run. The 'Boost' mode, in particular, does not provide any benefit and may indeed worsen the battery life and break cross-app operations. The company has even added a shortcut for the same labelled 'Power & Boost' which claims to 'Boost' your smartphone. Asus has added other apps like ZenTalk, Themes, Puffin, MyASUS Service Centre, ZenFone Care also in-house apps like Gallery, Contacts, File Manager, MiniMovie, PhotoCollage, Weather, Do It Later, Clock, Calculator, Flashlight, Share Link and WebStorage. One thing that I continue to love about the ZenUI is the option to turn off the screenshot notification in the settings menu. Performance 6 / 10 Asus ZenFone 3 Laser's performance was quite average, without any significant device freezing, lag or stuttering for the majority of the review. The experience turned rocky immediately after I ran any high-level benchmark apps where the entire system came to a crawl. I had to manually kill some benchmark apps to return to usable system conditions. I also regularly suffered from micro stutters while using the phone where the UI seemed sluggish while scrolling through long list of Google Play Store apps. It's not clear if Asus purposely included the slow animations to make sure that users don't detect the stuttering and slowness from the animations. Apart from the occasional micro-stutters, Snapdragon 430 coupled with 4GB RAM performed decently during all the tasks, music, gaming, web browsing and photo editing. But at these price points, you need to have a well-optimised software user experience. Asus needs to fix these issues in future updates. The smartphone scored 3481 in the PCMark 'Work performance benchmark along with scoring 642 in Single-Core and 2026 in Multi-Core benchmarks in Geekbench 4. Laser did decently and did not heat up considerably during extended gaming sessions and held admirably to heavy games like DeadTrigger 2, Modern Combat 5 and Gear Club. It scored 9398, 5569 and 9590 in IceStorm, IceStorm Extreme and IceStorm Unlimited benchmarks. The smartphone scores 22779 in Quadrant and 44525 in AnTuTu benchmark that I ran during my testing. The call quality of the ZenFone 3 Laser is decent with good clarity and volume of the sound. The audio quality of the speaker grill on the bottom side of the smartphone is decent with no surprises. However, the volume should have been more as in large halls or noisy rooms, the audio quality goes for a toss. Camera 6 / 10 ZenFone 3 Laser is supposed to be a camera-centric smartphone which should take decent if not great photos. But I am sad to report that the photos taken by the ZenFone 3 Laser are not great. The 13MP camera on the rear and the 8MP camera on the front are equally bad with most of the images full of noise in anything less than ideal lighting situations. Some turn to be a blurry mess in the auto mode. The camera like all the ZenUI running smartphones provides sufficient options regarding shooting modes ranging from Auto, ZenFlash, Manual, HDR Pro, Beautification, Super Resolution, Children, Low Light, QR Codes, Close-up among others. Asus needs to step up their camera game, and the camera needs to take better photos in anything less than perfect lighting conditions. One cannot name the smartphone 'Laser' to signify the Laser Autofocus system of the camera and then deliver such ordinary photos throughout. Battery 8 / 10 ZenFone 3 Laser performed great in the battery life department. During my extensive testing, the smartphone performed admirably well coping to my heavy usage. It lasted a little over 11 hours during my typical day which consists of always being connected to the internet through Wi-Fi, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp throughout the day in addition to 1 hour of music, 35-40 minutes of gaming and installing and testing new apps. However, two major things are missing in the offering are the USB Type-C port and fast charging. It is almost criminal for people to wait for more than two hours to wait for their smartphone being charged from 0 percent to 100 percent in 2016. I could not figure out what it was that was causing the PC Mark for Android battery life test benchmark to crash constantly. I tried running the test four times, but all the times PCMark would crash as the test reached 50 percent. Similarly to other ZenFones, the Mobile Manager has a "Power Saver" which gives us Performance, Normal, Power saving, Super saving and Customised power saving modes to improve the battery life. The smartphone also offers to reserve battery for calls, and you can set the conservation mode to kick in once the battery drops to a certain percentage. Even though the performance drops once the Power saving mode is activated, the fact remains that I would much rather use my smartphone in a reduced performance state rather than have a dead smartphone. Verdict and Price in India 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. It is better that you look elsewhere like the Xiaomi Mi Max or you can get Xiaomi Mi5 with the exchange of your current smartphone. Looking at other smartphone offerings even Moto G4 Plus or Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus is better than what Asus is offering here both in terms of performance as well as the value for money. Even if you are Asus loyalist, I would recommend you to save up and look for something else like Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra or ZenFone 3 Max or ZenFone 3.

It's been a few months since we last saw the Zenfone 3 Laser after it was announced unexpectedly in Vietnam, along with its big-batteried brother, the Zenfone 3 Max. We've A ASUS lançou uma nova linha de Zenfones no Brasil este ano e tem recebido um bom retorno dos consumidores. Contudo, existe uma diferença tremenda entre o Zenfone 3 tradicional e o Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Esse segundo aparelho Ă© o mais poderoso da marca e foi feito para concorrer com o iPhone 7 Plus no qualidade de construção Design luxuoso Desempenho excelente Tela de boa qualidade CĂąmera boa e muito rapidaInterface com design ruimPreço muito altoExistem duas versĂ”es bem distintas do Zenfone 3 Deluxe, mas ambas usam o mesmo nomePortanto, ele tem um hardware bastante parrudo, tela grande e acabamento superpremium, bem diferente do Zenfone 3 normal. Para saber se vale a pena pagar alguns milhares de reais nesse smartphone, confira toda esta anĂĄlise e veja se ele combina com antes de começar a ler este conteĂșdo completo, fique ciente de que existem duas versĂ”es distintas do Zenfone 3 Deluxe, mas ambas usam o mesmo nome. O aparelho que a Asus nos mandou para testes tem processador Snapdragon 821 o mais atual da Qualcomm e 256 GB de armazenamento, mas existe um modelo com Snapdragon 820 processador do ano passado e 64 GB de espaço. Existe uma boa diferença de desempenho e tambĂ©m de Zenfone 3 Deluxe simplesmente voa. Ele tem um desempenho exemplar em qualquer game ou app que vocĂȘ pode encontrar na Google Play. Fora isso, como hĂĄ nada menos que 6 GB de RAM, dĂĄ para guardar bastante apps na memĂłria, oferecendo acesso a eles sem recarregamento o monstrĂŁo da Asus com vĂĄrios games, entre eles PinOut, NOVA 3 e FIFA Mobile. O smartphone conseguiu dar conta desses aplicativos sem titubear em qualquer momento e tambĂ©m mostrou uma Ăłtima qualidade grĂĄfica em todos. VocĂȘ consegue inclusive jogar um game, ir para outro jogo pesado e voltar para o anterior sem ter que recarregar o benchmarks tambĂ©m comprovaram que o Zenfone 3 Deluxe tem um dos melhores Androids em questĂŁo de desempenho. Ele se saiu melhor que seus principais concorrentes em vĂĄrios dos nossos testes de benchmark. Contudo, nesses procedimentos, o aparelho esquentou um pouco, e o seu acabamento metĂĄlico ajudou a deixar isso mais destacar ainda que o dispositivo em questĂŁo tem um comportamento estranho quando a bateria estĂĄ acabando ele começa a esquentar sem que vocĂȘ esteja utilizando nenhum app ou game intenso. Contudo, essa caracterĂ­stica jĂĄ foi percebida em outros modelos do gĂȘnero, tanto da Asus quanto de outras a realização desta anĂĄlise, submetemos o Zenfone 3 Deluxe 821 a trĂȘs aplicativos de benchmark. SĂŁo eles 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited, AnTuTu Benchmark 6 e Vellamo Mobile Benchmark HTML5 e Metal.O teste Ice Storm Unlimited, do 3D Mark, Ă© utilizado para fazer comparaçÔes diretas entre processadores e GPUs. Fatores como resolução do display podem afetar o resultado final. Quanto maior a pontuação, melhor Ă© o dos aplicativos de benchmark mais conceituados em sua categoria, o AnTuTu Benchmark 6 faz testes de interface, CPU, GPU e memĂłria RAM. Os resultados sĂŁo somados e geram uma pontuação final. Quanto maior ela for, melhor Ă© o Vellamo Mobile Benchmark aplica dois testes ao aparelho HTML5 e Metal. No primeiro deles Ă© avaliada a performance do celular no acesso direto Ă  internet via browser. JĂĄ no segundo teste, o nĂșmero final indica a performance do processador. Quanto maior a pontuação, melhor Ă© o departamento de design, a ASUS fez um bom trabalho com o Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Ele tem uma aparĂȘncia luxuosa, e a qualidade de construção dĂĄ a entender que ele Ă© bem durĂĄvel. A sensação que ele passa nas suas mĂŁos durante a pegada Ă© muito boa. A carcaça Ă© toda construĂ­da em metal, hĂĄ uma saĂ­da USB-C no fundo, ao lado de um microfone e um topo, temos um plugue de 3,5 mm para fones de ouvido e uma gaveta compartilhada para dois chips de operadora e um cartĂŁo micro SD na lateral esquerda. NĂŁo dĂĄ para usar os trĂȘs itens ao mesmo tempo, entretanto. Os botĂ”es de volume e o de energia ficam na lateral direita. HĂĄ um leitor de digitais na traseira, logo abaixo da dispositivo tem uma boa aparĂȘncia geral, e realmente impressiona quando vocĂȘ bate o olho nele pela primeira vez. É inegavelmente um smartphone premium. Contudo, a parte da frente tem bordas com acabamento metĂĄlico brilhoso e detalhes Ă© praticamente a marca registrada da ASUS, mas nĂŁo combina com a traseira, que tem uma elegĂąncia neutra e fosca. Isso nĂŁo chega a comprometer todo o design do aparelho, mas certamente Ă© uma quebra na coesĂŁo visual. Por fim, a parte frontal ainda tem uma borda preta bem esquisita em volta de toda a tela. Ou seja, o bom trabalho feito na parte de trĂĄs nĂŁo foi seguido Ă  risca na ASUS resolveu apostar em uma tela Super AMOLED de 5,7 polegadas. O display Ă© muito bonito e representa bem as cores, mas falta um pouco de saturação – isso de acordo com as configuraçÔes originais do 3 Deluxe tem resolução Full HD em vez de 2KApesar do tamanho e da faixa de preço, o Zenfone 3 Deluxe tem resolução Full HD em vez de 2K. A ASUS provavelmente resolveu usar a opção mais bĂĄsica para nĂŁo comprometer a autonomia de bateria, uma vez que telas com mais pixels gastam mais qualquer forma, isso nĂŁo prejudica muito a experiĂȘncia do usuĂĄrio. Se a pessoa nĂŁo for muito entendida desse assunto, sĂł vai notar a diferença quando vir ao lado do seu celular um outro smartphone com tela isso de lado, podemos dizer que a tela do dispositivo da ASUS Ă© realmente boa para qualquer consumo de mĂ­dia vĂ­deo, games, leitura e tudo mais, mesmo sob luz forte do Sol. Contudo, nĂŁo espere ter uma boa experiĂȘncia em VR nessa software da ASUS Ă© o seu maior inimigo nesse momento. A empresa entrega um excelente smartphone, com hardware parrudo, desempenho invejĂĄvel, mas pisa na bola com sua interface ZenUI, que tem um design muito aquĂ©m do esperado. A empresa tem evoluĂ­do muito pouco na questĂŁo estĂ©tica ao longo dos anos, e atĂ© a Samsung e a LG — duramente criticadas por suas personalizaçÔes “bregas” sobre o Android — jĂĄ conseguiram superar essa Samsung inclusive estĂĄ seguindo a passos largos em busca de um visual mais limpo e moderno, enquanto a ASUS ainda aposta em muitos efeitos desnecessĂĄrios, Ă­cones grandes demais e esquema de cor e design indefinidos, que mudam em cada app original da smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeDiferente de suas concorrentes, a ASUS pegou muito poucas guias de design do Material Design da Google, e nĂŁo dĂĄ para dizer que a empresa seguiu em uma boa direção. HĂĄ ainda falta de coesĂŁo no design da interface, botĂ”es que trazem apenas parte do texto que deveriam mostrar, entre outras pequenas ĂĄrea de notificaçÔes permite personalizar muitos de seus atalhosContudo, a ZenUI tem seus pontos positivos. Sempre que vocĂȘ instala um novo app, ela oferece a possibilidade de organizar o novo Ă­cone em alguma pasta ou categoria, antes de simplesmente colocĂĄ-lo na tela inicial. A ĂĄrea de notificaçÔes, por sua vez, permite personalizar muitos de seus atalhos, e a gaveta de apps tem uma variedade de opçÔes para isso Ă© eclipsado pela quantidade absurda de apps prĂ©-instalados. AlĂ©m do pacote obrigatĂłrio da Google, a Asus manda no Zenfone 3 Deluxe nada menos que 23 apps desnecessĂĄrios. É muita coisa para desinstalar assim que vocĂȘ recebe o dispositivo em cĂąmeras do Zenfone 3 Deluxe sĂŁo boas. Contudo, nĂŁo espere que ele seja o melhor de sua categoria nisso. VĂĄrios top de linha de 2016 que chegaram ao mercado antes do aparelho da ASUS conseguem capturas melhores. Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, iPhone 7 e 7 Plus e Moto Z sĂŁo alguns exemplos. Mas isso nĂŁo quer dizer que o Zenfone tem cĂąmeras ruins. Pelo contrĂĄrio, elas sĂŁo muito boas, sĂł nĂŁo sĂŁo velocidade de captura do Zenfone 3 Deluxe Ă© realmente um de seus pontos fortes em cĂąmera. VocĂȘ toca no botĂŁo e a imagem estĂĄ pronta e salva na galeria. Isso Ă© possĂ­vel graças ao foco a laser, o mecanismo de foco mais rĂĄpido que temos atualmente em esse recurso nĂŁo dĂĄ conta do espaço — com objetos muito distantes —, o foco PDAF entra em cena. Ele Ă© um pouco mais lento, mas consegue resultados melhores que o laser na questĂŁo estĂ©tica da foto. As imagens ficam menos granuladas nessa segunda smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeOutro ponto positivo Ă© o realismo na representação das cores, mesmo com o HDR ligado. A cĂąmera nĂŁo prejudica o esquema de cores para conseguir uma foto mais apelativa aos olhos do usuĂĄrio, e isso Ă© bom. O alcance dinĂąmico tambĂ©m Ă© interessante e consegue ajudar na exposição precisa de diferentes software da cĂąmera ainda conta com uma sĂ©rie de recursos para vocĂȘ brincar, incluindo configuraçÔes profissionais, como foco manual, controle de ISO, entre novo aparelho poderoso da Asus tambĂ©m tem uma boa autonomia de bateria. VocĂȘ consegue usar o smartphone por um dia inteiro sem se preocupar muito com a possibilidade de ele morrer antes de vocĂȘ chegar em casa. Claro que estamos considerando nessa constatação o uso moderado, aquele que as pessoas normalmente fazem com um dispositivo desse isso, se vocĂȘ sair para um passeio ou viagem e ficar fazendo centenas de fotos no mesmo dia, certamente a bateria terĂĄ uma autonomia bem inferior do que o esperado. O mesmo vale para longos perĂ­odos de nosso teste de execução contĂ­nua de vĂ­deo, o Zenfone 3 Deluxe da ASUS conseguiu durar 8 horas e 20 minutos em uma carga completa. Isso tocando um vĂ­deo no app do YouTube, com WiFi ligado e brilho da tela no mĂĄximo. A marca Ă© boa para a a pena?O Zenfone 3 Deluxe tem uma infinidade de pontos positivos e eles certamente eclipsam os seus pontos fracos. Mesmo com sua interface malfeita e de design ruim, o smartphone consegue apresentar um desempenho excelente, sem titubear mesmo nas situaçÔes mais exigentes. Mas existe um grande problema com o top de linha da ASUS ele Ă© muito mais caro que seus principais com sua interface malfeita e de design ruim, o smartphone consegue apresentar um desempenho excelentePara tĂ­tulo de comparação, o modelo mais bĂĄsico do Zenfone 3 Deluxe — com chip Snapdragon 820 e 64 GB de armazenamento — custa R$ 3,9 mil na loja oficial da fabricante. Esse celular tem hardware muito similar ao do Moto Z, por exemplo, que custava algo em torno de R$ 2,7 mil na data de publicação desta isso, o aparelho da Lenovo vem com um mĂłdulo de bateria e uma capinha extra nesse pacote. Ele tambĂ©m tem uma tela melhor que a do Zenfone, e sua cĂąmera tambĂ©m faz fotos melhores ou de qualidade similar. Portanto, por que alguĂ©m apostaria em um “smartphone tradicional” como o Zenfone 3 Deluxe o bĂĄsico quando existe a oferta da concorrente que oferece algo superinovador, como a modularidade?Esses competidores nĂŁo contam com 6 GB de RAM, mas note que existe uma diferença de mais de mil reaisAlĂ©m do Moto Z, a oferta da ASUS enfrenta forte concorrĂȘncia de celulares ainda mais populares, como o Galaxy S7 Edge, que tambĂ©m estĂĄ na faixa dos R$ 2,7 mil. O top da Samsung tem Ăłtimo desempenho, design mais atraente e cĂąmera inegavelmente superior Ă  do Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Claro que esses competidores nĂŁo contam com 6 GB de RAM, mas note que existe uma diferença de mais de mil reais entre caso do Zenfone 3 Deluxe com Snapdragon 821, a versĂŁo que nĂłs testamos, o principal concorrente Ă© o iPhone 7 Plus, que custa exatamente o mesmo preço do Zenfone com 256 GB de armazenamento R$ 4,9 que, apesar de o dispositivo da ASUS ter sim suas vantagens sobre o concorrente da Apple — a começar pela possibilidade de colocar cartĂ”es de memĂłria e ter bem mais RAM —, o iPhone ainda vence em questĂŁo de desempenho, design e smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeReview smartphone ASUS Zenfone 3 DeluxeConsiderando tudo isso, fica claro que os dois top de linha da ASUS estĂŁo mal posicionados no mercado. SĂŁo produtos de Ăłtima qualidade, mas simplesmente nĂŁo valem o preço que estĂĄ sendo cobrado atualmente. Quem sabe, com um bom desconto, na casa dos R$ 800 ou mais, esses modelos se tornem uma alternativa viĂĄvel para quem quer um monstrĂŁo de celular. Mas, no momento, a gente nĂŁo recomenda gastar quase 5 mil reais no Zenfone 3 Deluxe. ***Perguntas dos leitores1. O Zenfone 3 Deluxe tem carregamento sem fio?NĂŁo. O aparelho da Asus nĂŁo possui essa tecnologia de carreamento. Um leitor chegou a perguntar se isso era uma “heresia”, mas, na verdade, as fabricantes precisam escolher entre fazer um celular com carcaça de metal ou colocar tecnologia de carregamento sem fio. A maioria dos padrĂ”es de carregamento wireless nĂŁo funciona atravĂ©s de cases metĂĄlicas, e isso provavelmente impediu a Asus de incluir o recurso nesse modelo. Contudo, a Qualcomm chegou a comentar em 2015 que estava desenvolvendo uma solução para isso, mas nĂŁo sabemos em que pĂ© anda esse Tem ĂĄudio Hi-Res?Sim. Ele possui ĂĄudio Hi-Res de 192kHz/24-bit, que Ă© quatro vezes melhor que o som gerado por um CD, por exemplo. Entretanto, nĂŁo dĂĄ para notar muita diferença usando os fones originais do aparelho. Esses acessĂłrios sĂŁo intra-auriculares e tĂȘm um som melhor do que o esperado. Isso em qualquer smartphone, nĂŁo sĂł no Ele esquenta muito quando estĂĄ carregando ou durante a jogatina?Ele esquenta sim, mas nĂŁo muito, durante esses processos. Contudo, como a carcaça Ă© de metal, a pessoa tende a sentir mais esse calor e a se incomodar com Onde fica localizado o sensor NFC do Zenfone 3 Deluxe?Segundo este fĂłrum de suporte da ASUS, o sensor fica na parte da frente do celular. Bem ao estilo Xperia ZX. Nada prĂĄtico para uso cotidiano em pagamentos ou compartilhamentos via Android Beam.
TheBottom Line. The Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe has a luxurious build that's overshadowed by bloatware and poor performance -- you're better off with the OnePlus 3T or a cheaper ZenFone 3. On the plus

ASUSannounced the new Zenfone 3 Laser two months back in India and it was made available last week. The device is the successor of Zenfone 2 laser and comes with improved features and hardware.

The ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser series from last year proved to be an attractive offering for those who are looking for Laser AF-packing smartphone without breaking the bank. They even released three variants – and a For 2016, ASUS took almost everything that made the Zenfone 2 Laser series successful, improved on it, then crammed it inside a single successor – the Zenfone 3 Laser. Design and ConstructionDisplay and MultimediaOS, UI, and AppsCameraPerformance and BenchmarksConnectivity and Call QualityBattery LifeConclusion Design and Construction The Zenfone 3 Laser’s design is very much different from its predecessor. It is now sleeker and more premium. Gone are the chunky build with a rounded rear and plastic body. Replacing it is a thinner and lighter body at and 150g vs and 170g of the ZF2 ZE550KL, aluminum chassis, and a glass covering the entire front of the of the front, we have the display. Above it are the earpiece, sensors, and the 8MP front camera. Down below are three unlit capacitive buttons for Back, Home, and Recent the left, we have the hybrid SIM card tray while on the right are the metallic volume and power/lock keys with concentric circle top is the headset jack and microphone, while the down at the bottom is the loudspeaker, microUSB port, and it on its back and you will see the 13MP camera, dual-tone LED flash, Laser AF, and the fingerprint scanner. You can also notice that the back part is segmented, the middle one is all metal while the top and bottom parts are the hand, the Zenfone 3 Laser is nice to hold thanks to its slimmer and lighter body. The cold aluminum back also feels good on the hands. All in all, it’s more attractive and mature-looking compared to the Zenfone 2 and Multimedia The Zenfone 3 Laser now has a IPS display with a Full HD resolution or equal to 401ppi. If we look back at the Zenfone 2 Laser family, the only model that has that kind of resolution is the 6-inch variant. Protection is handled by Gorilla Glass 3 and not Gorilla Glass 4 like with the 6-inch ZF2 expected, display quality is good with punchy colors and good viewing angles. It’s also bright enough to be used outdoors during a sunny day. Like with most Zenfones, you tweak the display’s color temperature and select your preferred screen color mode inside loudspeakers, on the other hand, are very audible and is good enough for calls, music, and movies. It has good trebles and soft bass but tends to distort at louder volumes. There’s an Audio Wizard on board as well should you wish to tweak audio UI, and Apps The software is handled by Android Marshmallow with ZenUI It uses an app drawer and squarish icons with rounded corners. Although running fairly new Android system, some of its features like the App and Widgets tabs reminds us of older Android versions, but you can easily remedy that with a has been criticized before with their pre-installed apps, but sad to say they haven’t done anything drastic about it yet. Like the rest of the Zenfone 3 family, the ZF3 Laser comes with tons of ASUS apps and third-party apps Puffin, Amazon Kindle, Instagram, Trip Advisor, Beauty Plus, Facebook, Messenger, Lazada, Need For Speed No Limits, and Sim City. Not to mention Google’s own apps as well. After setting up the device, you will be bombarded by app updates from the Play Store, and if you have a slow internet connection, it will take a while before all of these apps are good news is, you can uninstall those apps that you don’t need which saves precious memory from its 32GB of storage with a usable space of You can further expand it via microSD card, but at the expense of dual-SIM Imaging is one of the strengths of the Zenfone. At 13MP with Sony IMX214 sensor, it can produce sharp, yet clean photos with good colors. With the help of Laser AF, it can achieve fast focus times so all you have to do is point and 8MP selfie camera, on the other hand, has a wide-angle lens for those group selfies and comes with a beautify feature which is a staple in current Zenfones. Check out the samples below. As for in-camera features, the ZF3 Laser has tons. It has Auto HDR, HDR Pro, Manual mode, Super Resolution, Low Light, Depth of Field, Panorama, Smart Remove, and Time Lapse to name a videos, the ZF3 Laser maxes out at Full HD at 30fps in MP4 format. Although no 4K, it has 3-axis EIS and 6-direction EIS compensation for stable videos. It works well and was able to keep shaking at the minimum even when we’re casually walking. Watch the sample videos below watch the second video for the EIS testPerformance and Benchmarks Powering the Zenfone 3 Laser is a modest Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 octa-core CPU clocked and an Adreno 505 GPU. However, ASUS equipped it with 4GB RAM which is found in most high-end smartphones. That should be enough to handle multiple apps at the same time. True enough, it was able to handle light to heavy tasks with ease, even in gaming as tested with NFS No Limits. Check out the benchmark scores below* AnTuTu – 43,542 * Quadrant Standard – 20,484 * Vellamo – 1,700 Multicore, 1,216 Metal, 2,393 Chrome * 3D Mark – 290 Sling Shot using ES * PC Mark – 4,848 Work 3,344 Work 3,287 StorageConnectivity and Call Quality The Zenfone 3 Laser features connectivity functions important to users such as dual-SIM connectivity with 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. However, as mentioned earlier, the SIM tray uses a hybrid setup so if you use a microSD card you will lose the dual-SIM function. We didn’t encounter any issues with mobile data can detect even a weak LTE signal. Calls are loud and clear as well as long as your area has a health Life Providing power for the Zenfone 3 Laser is a 3,000mAh non-removable battery. With light calls and texts, heavy social media on WiFi, with a little bit of gaming can yield 9 to 10 hours of life, which is not Mark’s battery test yields 9 hours and 54 minutes, while our routine video loop test 1080p video on loop in Airplane mode with headset plugged in at 50% brightness and volume got us 11 hours and 32 minutes which is ASUS did a good job in making the Zenfone 3 Laser.

However, it doesn't really stand out against competing options, some of which offer a better their latest refresh to the ZenFone lineup, ASUS is offering consumers several different options to choose from. We already reviewed the ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3, and have also covered the more recent and less traditional ZenFone 3 Zoom and ZenFone we’re taking a look at ASUS’ entry-level ZenFone 3 Laser. So does the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser bring enough to the table to stand out from competing options? Let’s find out with our comprehensive ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser review!DesignWhat’s perhaps most interesting about the third generation of ZenFones is ASUS’ sudden departure from their past design language. When we thought about the ZenFone lineup previously, we thought of metallic plastic, ergonomic curves, and rear-facing volume buttons, features which were showcased excellently on the ZenFone 2 its predecessor, the ZenFone 3 Laser is constructed of an aluminum body with plastic top and bottom caps, presumably to help with wireless reception. We’ve seen designs quite similar to this countless times in the past, but it remains difficult to ignore the high-quality in-hand feel of the rear curve isn’t as dramatic nor ergonomic as it was in the past, we’re happy to see this bring the replacement of practically awkward slim side edges with larger curved side continuations of aluminum, which makes the phone easier to grip, especially with a single not just the materials and shaping that make this a nice design, however, as other components like the satisfyingly tactile side buttons and seemingly engraved antenna lines are also quite nice. Of course, there are some minor compromises too, like the three capacitive navigation keys, which are ugly and do not illuminate. The rear camera hump can also be annoying when using the phone on a flat surface. Still, this design is well on par with what we expect to see from an entry-level Zenfone's reader is in the form of a tall rectangular cutoutASUS has placed a fingerprint reader on the back of the Zenfone 3 Laser, just below the camera module. Unlike traditional circular fingerprint readers, however, the Zenfone’s reader is in the form of a tall rectangular cutout. In fact, the Zenfone 3 lineup seems to be the first to feature this unique design. With that said, we didn’t notice a difference in speed nor accuracy when using the phone; overall, the reader performs well enough for the price. DisplayFor the display, we’re looking at a respectable 1080P IPS panel coated in Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Color reproduction is great, viewing angles are decent, and the display is generally fairly good. It’s worth mentioning that you’ll be hard-pressed to find something significantly better at this price. With that said, we still have some notable biggest complaint has to do with maximum brightness, as it can be frustratingly difficult to use the phone outdoors. The auto brightness feature also tends towards lower settings, effectively requiring manual input for appropriate levels. ASUS has consistently failed to impress us in display brightness, and it’s a shame that the Zenfone 3 Laser continues that much more insignificant issue, but surely a point of contention, is the black border around the display. Evidently, this grinds gears for people at varying levels, so we’ll keep this as objective as possible the borders are reasonably small, unnoticeable day-to-day, but clearly don’t contribute to a stylish look. And with that, we’ll let you make your own a positive note, ASUS’ standard color customization options are included with the Zenfone 3 Laser. These options allow you to make adjustments to color temperature, enable a bluelight filter or “night mode,” or customize hue and saturation for a different look. These options are always nice to have, so we’re happy that ASUS has included it’s not going to wow anyone with its benchmark scores, the Zenfone 3 Laser still performs well day-to-day. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 is, of course, an entry-level processor, but that hasn’t prevented ASUS from offering a well optimized experience. For example, some system animations have been sped up to give the illusion of a snappier device. Unfortunately, the Zenfone 3 Laser is only available with 2 GB of RAM, which is a major bottleneck when attempting to multitask. Consider this situation you’re listening to some music on Spotify and would like to do a quick Google search. Unlike virtually every device with more memory, the Zenfone 3 Laser will likely stop your music once you load a would have liked for ASUS to step up its game hereThis can be quite frustrating, but it’s important to keep in mind that many competing options also skimp on memory. Still, we would have liked for ASUS to step up its game here, especially considering ASUS launched the very first smartphone with 4 GB of RAM just a couple of years things considered, the Zenfone 3 Laser is quite tolerable to use in the real world. It’s far from the best out there, but if you manage your expectations and recognize the compromise, this should be absolutely fine ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is an unlocked dual-SIM smartphone, meaning that you can use it with up to two different GSM carriers simultaneously. We rarely see this feature here in the so this could be a major selling point for some prospective buyers. Since it’s being sold officially, you can expect it to work with 4G LTE on both AT&T and T-Mobile, with support for band can use the Zenfone with up to two different GSM carriers simultaneouslyIf you only plan on using one SIM card with the Zenfone 3 Laser, you can take advantage of the other slot’s microSD card expansion option, which supports cards up to 128 GB. For most users, however, the 32 GB of onboard storage should be to many other options in this price range, the Zenfone 3 Laser does not include NFC, so you won’t be able to use tap-and-pay apps like Android Pay. Considering that over half of our readers polled said they used mobile payments at least occasionally, this is a pretty big omission. Combined with a lack of support for it’s understandable how ASUS was able to keep the phone’s price throw away your existing wired headphones just yet, as the Zenfone 3 Laser includes a headphone jack. This is still wonderful to have, and although the output volume is slightly low, many users will appreciate not having to make a transition to alternative we were very disappointed with the Zenfone 3 Laser’s speaker. I have personally reviewed over fifty primarily entry-level smartphones, and I can say with complete certainty that this is one of the worst I have ever heard. It’s not only relatively quiet and distorted, but also flat and tinny. Audio quite frankly sounds awful with the Zenfone 3 Laser, so you’ll definitely want to keep your headphones LifeThe ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is packing a 3000mAh battery, which translated to excellent battery life during our testing. Even when using the phone for more than twenty-four hours, we were still able to achieve over four and a half hours of screen on time. When we used the phone more heavily, we were still able to achieve twelve hours of use with six and a half hours of screen on time. Although the Snapdragon 430 can support Quick Charge ASUS has failed to implement it, meaning that you’ll be stuck with some relatively slow charging speeds. The charging port is also a reminder that microUSB is still a thing, despite the newer USB Type-C standard largely taking over the Android smartphone market. We do understand that some users do not want to make the transition, so we’ll let you decide whether this is an advantage or Zenfone 3 Laser’s 13 MP f/ camera captures images that are about average in terms of quality. Excellent cameras are pretty much unheard of at this price, so we can forgive many of the shortcomings can forgive many of the shortcomings hereASUS Zenfone 3 Laser camera samplesAs expected, you can get some fairly nice images when shooting in good lighting. For most of the time, dynamic range is decent and saturation levels are good. There are some glaring issues, however. Colors, for example, often appear muted see the image of the bananas above, which results in images lacking in vibrancy and contrast. There’s also some excessive oversharpening and considerable barrel claims that the laser autofocus offers focus in 30 milliseconds. While that estimate seemed to be pretty optimistic in our testing, the Zenfone 3 Laser does indeed focus quickly. However, the difference isn’t very noticeable in comparison to other smartphones, so you should avoid getting hung up on this particular things really go downhill when shooting in low-light. The oversharpening issue is exacerbated while noise still appears largely unchecked. Colors are even worse, too. The built-in owl mode can certainly help here, but at the expense of resolution. It goes without saying that you really do get what you pay for here, so if you want higher quality low-light images you’ll want to consider increasing your Zenfone 3 Laser’s camera app remains unchanged from previous models, but, as the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” ASUS’ camera app offers a plethora of useful camera modes to choose from, while still providing an easy-to-use shooting experience. The phone’s manual mode is also one of the most comprehensive that we’ve of the box, the Zenfone 3 Laser runs ASUS’ ZenUI skin over Android Marshmallow. It’s evident that ASUS puts a lot of effort into its software, which can’t always be said about phones sold at this price point. All things considered, you’re getting one of the better software experiences out to other user interfaces, ZenUI looks outdatedWith that said, we feel that ZenUI is due for a design overhaul. We understand that this is very subjective, but, compared to other user interfaces, ZenUI looks outdated. The design team seems to have had a weird obsession with gaussian blurs, which have quite frankly gone out of style in favor of lower Zenfone 3 Laser screenshotsAdd in a unique but aging color scheme, harsh icons, and a general inability to instill feelings of empathy, and you end up with an arguably stale design. These criticisms are admittedly a bit nitpicky, considering how well everything works. However, we hope that ASUS will surprise us with a new design in the near may also find the number of ASUS branded apps to be overwhelming, but we’re mostly okay with this since each app works so well. Besides, ASUS has improved on this in the past, so it’s likely that they’ll continue to do so in the ASUS’ track record, we estimate that the probability of the Zenfone 3 Laser receiving an Android Nougat update within the next few months to be highly likely. During our time with the phone, ASUS has also been very good at pushing out minor improvements as well as bug fixes fairly frequently. Plus, they seem to be keeping up with security patches. GalleryPriceThe ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is on sale now for $200 in the United States. Since it is unlocked, you can purchase it from a retailer like Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, or B&H Photo instead of going through your carrier. ConclusionThe 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 the Zenfone 3 Laser feels more like a downgrade compared to its predecessor. Some aspects like software and display quality remain unchanged, but many others have been downgraded. For example, the display is now coated in Gorilla Glass 3 instead of Gorilla Glass 4, the amount of RAM has been decreased from 3 to 2 GB, the speaker sounds worse, and the camera is not as sharp. Considering that both phones were released at the same price, we’re disappointed that ASUS didn’t pack in more with this compared to competing options from other manufacturers, the Zenfone 3 Laser doesn’t really stand out. You may be better off purchasing the HONOR 6X or even the Nextbit Robin. If you’re willing to wait a bit, the Moto G5 lineup also might be worth you for reading our written review of the ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser.

Verdict We’re not giving the Zenfone 3 a score just yet, since Asus hasn’t confirmed the phone’s UK price and there were some potentially atypical issues with out test unit that we need to investigate What is the Zenfone 3? Since Motorola threw down the gauntlet with its original Moto G, smartphone makers have been embroiled in a price-slashing war. As a result, we’ve seen all manner of fantastic value-for-money handsets appear, such as the OnePlus 3, Nexus 6P and Moto Z Play. The Zenfone 3 is Asus’ stab at the market, and aims to offer top-end-ish hardware at a price point that won’t break the bank. Having had a play, I can confirm that the device certainly looks the part and generally delivers great performance on a par with the Huawei Nova and Alcatel Idol 4S. However, as is the case with almost all mid-range handsets right now, its software leaves a lot to be desired. Related Best Smartphones to Buy Zenfone 3 – Design and Display The phone looks like a slightly more boxy Samsung Galaxy S7. Featuring a glass back and metal sides, were it not for the Asus logo and absence of a physical home button you could easily mistake the Zenfone for a Samsung handset. Some will bemoan the lack of originality, but in my mind the Zenfone’s design looks far nicer than that of most mid-range handsets. Technically, on paper the Zenfone 3 is an impressive bit of kit. Despite being a mid-range handset, Asus hasn’t made too many compromises. Around the back you’ll find a fingerprint scanner, which can used to unlock the phone or approve specific actions – such as in-app payments. On the bottom you’ll find a USB Type-C charging port, as opposed to the older and slower Micro USB. The SIM tray also contains a microSD card slot, making it quick and easy to upgrade the handset’s built-in 64GB of space. A cheaper 32GB model is also available for those with lower storage requirements. Audio fans will be pleased to see that Asus hasn’t removed the jack – looking at you, Apple. The phone’s slightly curved edges, reasonable thickness and 155g weight also make it surprisingly comfortable to hold when compared to other glass-backed phones – the Galaxy S7, for example. I’m a little concerned about build quality, though. The glass rear – like on past Samsung and Sony phones – feels like it will pick up scratches fairly easily. It’s also a smudge magnet, which will be an annoyance for folk who like their phone to look glass front on the model I was testing hadn’t been glued down properly. The bottom-left corner would lift a fraction of a millimetre off the phone’s main body, regularly letting light from the screen’s LEDs leak out. Since I’ve only had a chance to use one Zenfone 3, I can’t confirm if this is an isolated incident. Otherwise, the screen is pretty good for an affordable phone. The 1080p resolution may not match higher-end handsets, but it’s more than sharp enough and you’ll struggle to spot individual pixels. The IPS panel has also been well calibrated, and unlike the OnePlus 3’s AMOLED screen, which was horribly oversaturated, the Zenfone’s display offers up a nice neutral tone. Whites are clean and colours look natural. Some will find the Zenfone 3’s native display setting a little too cool, but I like it. Those who want more pop can adjust the screen’s colour temperature in the Zenfone’s Settings menu, thanks to the addition of Asus’ ZenUI software. Zenfone 3 – Software, Performance and Battery The aforementioned colour temperature setting is pretty much the only feature I like about ZenUI. I’ve never been a fan of Android skins, since they generally delay how quickly phones can receive software updates and also add pointless bloatware. There’s no word if the Zenfone will be upgraded to Nougat, but the handset certainly is full of bloatware. ZenUI isn’t the worst offender I’ve seen in this regard – that honour is reserved for Huawei and its Emotion UI – but Asus’ skin still adds more duplicate apps and pointless features than I’d like. Opening up the app tray you’ll see everything from clone Asus cloud storage apps that offer little improvement on Google’s central Drive, to pointless duplicate gallery and photo services that don’t add anything to the OS’s core offering. I’m also not sold on the UI changes that Asus has made to Android. The Settings menu has been entirely reconfigured, to the point that even seasoned Android users will struggle to find certain options. The pull-down Quick Settings and Notifications bar has also been redesigned, replacing Marshmallow’s simple, to-the-point UI design with childlike spherical shortcuts. The design change isn’t terrible, but it just feels unnecessary and is indicative of pretty much every aspect of ZenUI. To be fair, this isn’t an issue that affects Asus alone. Bloatware and pointless UI changes are a common issue on 99% of mid-range handsets I see, including the OnePlus 3, Huawei Nova and Alcatel Idol 4S. I can’t help but wish that companies would listen to consumers and realise that most people would be more than happy with unskinned Android on their phones. Over my week-plus of using the phone I haven’t experienced that many surprise bugs or unexpected glitches, which are another common problem on phones with heavy Android skins. The octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 and 4GB of RAM performed better on the Zenfone than the Huawei Nova, which has the same specs. For much of the time, the phone glided between menus and opened apps chug-free. Games did run on the device, but the Zenfone 3 took longer to load intensive titles such as Riptide and Asphalt than top-end phones with 820 CPUs. The only performance issue I did notice is that during prolonged video streaming and gaming sessions the Zenfone 3 would sometimes heat up. The temperature wasn’t Galaxy Note 7 explosive, but it was enough to cause concern. The Zenfone’s synthetic benchmark scores did reveal some performance shortcomings, however. The handset’s 62,371 score on the generalist AnTuTu test is lower than most mid-range handsets, such as the similarly specced Idol 4S, which score 76,756. The same issue occurred on the gaming focused 3DMark IceStorm Unlimited test, where the Zenfone 3 scored 14,037. The Idol 4S scored a more robust 17,554. Related Best Android Smartphones Zenfone 3 – Battery Battery life is one area where the Zenfone 3 excelled during my tests. The non-removable Li-Ion 3,000mAh battery easily lasted one and a half – if not two – days in regular use off a single charge. Regular use entailed listening to music on the way to and from work, playing some games over lunch, making and taking a few calls, regularly checking social media and email, and watching an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix before bed. The Zenfone 3 also dealt with demanding tasks, such as video streaming and 3D gaming, pretty well. Streaming video over Wi-Fi with the screen at 75% brightness, the Zenfone 3 lost between 8-11% of its charge per hour. Competing handsets generally lose between 10-15% of their charge tasked with the same test. Playing 3D games such as Riptide GP2, the Zenfone 3 lost between 13-16% of its battery per hour – again, this is impressive. In the past, the majority of mid-range phones I’ve tested have lost as much as 20-25% of their battery per hour when gaming. Buy Now Asus Zenfone 3 at $286 Zenfone 3 – Camera Camera tech is an area with which most mid-range phones struggle. The majority come with undersized sensors and don’t have the hardware to capture anything but holiday selfies and photos for sharing on social media. The Zenfone 3 doesn’t change this trend, but as phone cameras go, it isn’t terrible. The 16-megapixel rear camera on paper beats the specifications of most mid-range handsets. The f/ aperture is pretty much par for the course, but the Sony IMX298 camera sensor is a step up from the components used on most sub-£400 handsets. For a mid-range phone, the Zenfone 3’s camera isn’t badIt doesn’t oversharpen

but performance doesn’t match that of cameras on more expensive handsets, such as the Galaxy S7The sensor is identical to the one in the OnePlus 3 and means that the phone is capable of capturing reasonably good photos in decent light. Shooting around London during one of the city’s rare sunny days, I was able to capture good cityscapes with decent contrast and suitable detail. Colours don’t look exaggerated and, unlike quite a number of handsets, the phone doesn’t oversharpen images. The autofocus is also okay, but not great. Much of the time it will focus on your intended shot within only milliseconds but, like all the phone cameras I test, it struggles with moving objects. The inclusion of optical image stabilisation OIS is a rare sight in the mid-range market, and on paper this should elevate the Zenfone 3 above the competition when it comes to low-light performance. However, during my tests I noticed only a negligible improvement and still wouldn’t recommend the phone for night-time photography, or low-light clubs shots without the LED flash. Even with OIS, noise crept into photos taken in even moderately dim conditions. As a result, captured photos weren’t good enough for sharing, even on Facebook. The 8-megapixel front camera has the same f/ aperture and can record video at 1080p, which makes it more than good enough for basic video calling. You’d do well to avoid the beauty mode, though. Related Best Smartphones 2016 First Impressions As mid-range phones go, there’s plenty to like about the Zenfone 3. The handset I tested offered great battery life, reasonable performance, and featured a capable for the money camera and nicely balanced display. ZenUI is a fairly awful Android implementation, but it’s just one of many that are clogging up the world of mid-range handsets. If the Zenfone 3 is competitively priced in the UK, as it is in many other markets, the phone could be a solid choice for buyers on a budget. However, it will only deliver on its opening promise if my initial concerns about build quality aren’t found to be a problem across the board.
