ASUS Zenfone 3 5.5 Unboxing and Hands-on

Excited for the next Zenfone 3 series to come in the Philippines? Well, we just got our early access of the retail unit of the ASUS Zenfone 3 and I’m very happy to share with you guys my unboxing and hands-on of the most awaited ASUS Zenfone 3. The smartphone comes in two variants and what we have right now is the 5.5-inch variant. Check out our unboxing and hands-on of the smartphone below.

ASUS Zenfone 3 specs:

• 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor
• 4GB/64GB
• 16-megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus, EIS, OIS
• 8-megapixel front camera
• LTE
• Dual-SIM
• WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS
• Fingerprint scanner
• USB Type-C
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow
• 3000mAh battery

The ASUS Zenfone 3 didn’t fail to amaze me when it comes to design. The smartphone isn’t the flagship smartphone in the series and yet, the smartphone still packs a glass and metal design which not only makes the smartphone look premium but also feels like one.

The smartphone’s Snapdragon 625 processor along with the 4GB of RAM doesn’t disappoint too in Antutu and the improvement in the camera department was really a big improvement over the previous Zenfone and it really exceeded my expectations.

However, the ASUS Zenfone 3’s Zen UI 3.0 is still full of bloatware. I appreciate that ASUS has removed some of the redundant apps but still, the ASUS Zenfone 3 is still loaded with a lot of apps. Thankfully, I can uninstall most of them.

The ASUS Zenfone 3 is expected to be launched this August 14 along with the ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe and Zenfone 3 Ultra.
