Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL

Hedgie

Ivan, it only looks good, and specs look nice, i'm actually extremely disappointed by the phone. Camera doesn't make good photos, battery life after a year of usage becomes extremely short, needs recharges in 3-4 hrs. Internet pages open in random resolutions so I need to adjust manually... Wouldn't buy it, if I were more clever then.

Ivan ivanov

Where can buy this device!? I need it, but now is available only in eBay, im in UK and that is big problem... out of stock :( only one, maybe a new upgraded versions are available... and the price is threeple :(((

This phone was originally categorized with Dual Active SIM. When did this change?!!?

Muzakkir

Please dont buy this phone. Im own one. Regret it.

A lot of good things in this phone except the battery drain quite fast, I had to charge at least 2 times a day maybe more. Camera is superb, screen is excellent but a lot of bloat ware from asus

Disable Google assistant and reboot will fix the sound issue. I guess Asus hasn't fixed that issue

plugnplay

oh yeah? same here. i can't hear them. but i didn't try to put on speaker phone. it took awhile before i can hear them i have to wait like 20secs or more, i have to call them thru whatsapp. weird.

Soundwave

Soon after I add any apps (Uber, Skype, Instagram, Twitter, ANYTHING) people cannot hear me talking on regular calls. I have to put the phone on speakerphone AND constantly touch the screen to prevent it from going black before they can hear me. YES, I have to continually touch the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Was really impressed with the specs of this phone and performance for the first 3 months, however, it seems as time has gone on this phone seems to regularly "flip out" and go into this boot loop thing. This results in a system reset to be performed and data loss , functionality loss TIME loss!! etc. I am now sitting looking at a phone doing it's bi-annual "flip out", except this time I cannot seem to get to recovery. ASUS has been a huge disappointment in the phone arena. I got a year and a half use out of this thing, but I will not buy ASUS phones again.

Having asus for almost one year in Germany And one thing If your phone needs repair it takes lots of time to fix it, between three to eight months. Therefore if you buy it don't count on support team.

I do had both zenfone 3 5.2 inch and zenfone 3 deluxe 5.7 inch. Both takes pretty good lowlight but zenfone 3 some kind of lower noise than zenfone 3 deluxe. Both have 4K video recording and both have detailed 4K video but much noise in lowlight.

hi asus user..asus zenfone 3 ZE552KL vs. asus zenfone 3 deluxe ZS570KL..which one more better for low light camera and recording 4k video? someone pls advice me

that's not true I have used this Asus phone and it's really good, just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean you should discourage others who are having a good one.

Asus becoming bad now a days. Please dont buy Asus. My phone take 1 month to repair. Now problem with mic board and home and recent apps button. Not even reach 1 years. Worse.

AnonD-721028

Purchased in Nov '16, received 12/28/16. By April I experienced several issues with the phone rebooting continually and not able to turn on. Somehow through a factory reset, was able to limp through until August when I had same experience. ASUS Cust service told me the speaker was bad and so they couldn't repair phone until I paid $122. I paid although the speaker was not bad that I was aware of and I needed my phone. I was sent a photo which could not be identified as my phone. ASUS supposedly replaced the battery and the mother board, basically did a complete rebuild or so I was told. I was guaranteed the repairs would be covered for 90 days. Fast forward to Nov 2017. Experiencing same issues plus screen went black and was inoperable. Send phone back to ASUS repair. Today I receive an invoice for a FPC Cable, Back Cover and LCD for $251. I am sent a picture of an unidentifiable phone with a slight crack in the LCD screen. It was not that way when it left here and the packaging arrived undamaged. I am not sure how I could damage an FPC cable which is an internal part but ASUS customer service seems to assert that. I cannot recommend this product for these reasons and for the poor warranty support/coverage of this phone.

Please note that this phone (and all ASUS phones) does NOT have MIRROR link compatability!

Not at all, unless you are using other "heavy" apps on the background.

AnonD-709325

I have the phone for 10 months now ... I use it for personal and work, pick it because the promises off hardware and reviewa, coming from Note 4 so comparing : The good: - the camera is better but consumes much more battery, - perfomance is better, but in my normal use lasts half a day 5/6h, Note 4 did last at least 9h... - yes, it does has a lot off memory, but it manages very badly... Using in work, photos, GPS, pdf, emails, net, past 3/4 hours jams constantly... - it fails on basic, phone ... Network is worst than Note 4, my partner in same carrier in same place has is iphone constantly with good network and uses facetime, me, can't even maintain a stable voice call. - voice call fails, when I'm using both hands and hold the phone with shoulder... - software UI ... Is nice for those who use Facebook and such ... For a real use as work terminal is bad ... The contact search sucks my galaxy S had better phone software... - lattly I need to carry a batery bank with me so it can last my day :( ... Sometimes gives error on SIM connection and reboot is needed.. - file management is under Note 4... - sensors are very bad ... Proximity had made many calls in my pocket... GPS sucks vs Note 4 ... Compass error prone... Gives error keeps oscillating... I use it for work just payed for calibration apps and all, just sucks... Resume : Has better hardware than Note 4 ... But sucks at all fields ... Except on photo and is in 3/4 hours from a reboot, in use, 6/7 hours ... Takes long to take photo and software just jams the phone sometimes...

Clean handset with equally clean signal for a phone thats all metal with no pantie antennae lines. The FM radio pick up is excellent you almost have to be a professional photographer to get the right settings modes for crispy pics. This device reminds of quality builds from blackberry which i still have along with Fiio A3/E11K audio amp i get crisp clean sounds that finish like a bottle of smithwicks.

kooi

Is that this phone will heat up high, when during talk time or when using gps?

I had the very same experience. I loved my zenfone 2 but I am a LG customer now.

Your provider. I got this problem and my provider updated my sim with a newer LTE capable one.

Kaushik

I am using this phone for 1 year now, and I have no problem whatsoever. I have more than 65 apps and the phone can handle many apps at a time. The response of the phone is super fast and opening of Apps and closing of Apps is very fast. Closing all the apps with one button is fantastic.The battery is not bad.

AnonD-603103

It's not a PROBLEM!Asus is letting you choose from a lot of models with different Usage and different configs. You choose what you want.Doing very high Graphical games:Zenfone AR/3 Deluxe se. Photography and video:Zenfone AR/3 Deluxe se/3 Zoom. for Normal usage Zenfone 3/3max

Vonarian

Is it SDXC?You must buy SDXC for this phone.not normal SD.

Vonarian

You can Use for both.As a remote control or a Laser focus. In zenfone 2 laser it wasn't a IR sensor.

Are you serious?

can i use this phone as remote control with this ir sensor ? ir sensor is for camera laser or remote control ?

I have a ASUS ZenFone 3 deluxe zs570kl it's has fm radio. But your inform that no fm radio in this phone. Plz inform me as early as possible.

Zenfone 3 Deluxe 5.7" has infrared(IR sensor). that can be used for Remote Control.but we're seeing that is laser. Zenfone 3 Deluxe is an SPECIAL phone that can be used for:mobile games,VR('cuz of OLED and Super AMOLED),photography,video recording,and etc... . Good luck.

There is no Infrared. But its having Laser foucs technology. And its supports to OTG.

TechVB

Battery performance is average. You can use 12-14 hours on normal use.

How is the video camera? I noticed that it can record in 4k or 1080p. Given that this phone's battery is very weak, which resolution option is better to use? I can't find any info on how many hours can be recorded on a full charge. Also, does this phone take better video & pictures than the Huawei Mate 8?

If you don't mind app incompatibility especially games, then Intel is, well, not bad. Actually it sucks TBH. The incompatibility issue will drive you either up the wall or to the hospital (from smashing your face repeatedly into the wall). Get it only if all you do with the phone is general web browsing (FaceBook, chat, etc). Actually that goes for 95% of phone users. In that sense Intel is good.

TechVB

No doubt, snapdragon is better than intel.

sarfaraz

Intel is good or drgn?

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago. By far the best phone I have ever owned. Fast, long battery life, awesome camera, beautiful screen quality... I've not had one single issue so far and I am constantly using it. If people would learn to shut down their background apps they would see how much better the battery life is. But I guess some just need to complain about something.

AnonD-603103

I bought the ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe Shimmer Gold (ZS570KL) in November 2016 and it mostly delivers (ASUS_Z016D: 64GB internal storage, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 - 2.15GHz). To all of you saying a lot of bad things about it, please get your facts straight. BATTERY: this phone has powerful hardware specs and so, it OBVIOUSLY requires a good power income. So, all you need to do is minimize the power consumption by not having 10 different background apps running at the same time and consuming battery like candys. I charge it every 2 days +/- and can play demanding games through 3 hours straight without any problem (didn't try further than that as I mostly game on my ASUS desktop). PERFORMANCE: Pretty much great. Had 1 laggy moment that lasted for about 2 seconds from November 2016 until today. And had 1 bug or 2 (software issues, not hardware). 1st bug: the phone frozen 3 different times when I was trying to unlock an application through pattern unlocking and I had to restart it. 2nd bug: The number of unread SMS was showing 109, for example, when in reality it was only 1 or 2 unread SMS. Reseting it fixed those bugs. Not much more I can say about that. Overall, very good performance. CAMERA: Very, very good. Though the 23MP back camera is somewhat a false advertisement as it lacks the excellence it should deliver. BUT, you can count on awesome quality camera and very good photos in pitch dark rooms and some other cool features. Today I upgraded to Android v7.0 Nougat. Great! In case you wish me to aproach on more specific details, feel free to ask.

AnonD-651641

I use this device from last October. I also use Asus ROG Computer. Actually the laptop was the reason to rely on Asus to bu a phone. It was a big mistake. There is still no news, not even a word about Nougat update. Shame! I will never spend a cent for any other Asus device ever!

BigPep2-43

This phone has battery issues. My phone has to be plugged into a charger at least twice a day. I get horrible battery life time. Asus needs to roll out an update improving battery life for this phone. Trust me if I would've known it would've been this bad I would've never bought this phone.

Babak

It seems your phone has battery problem. This phone does not have battery issues.

ASSUS

this phone doesn't lag but if you want a more faster smoother experience with this phone,i suggest installing another launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Launcher.the stock ZEN UI launcher seem abit cluttered to me and it seems to work a lot better after switching to Nova launcher.now i'm just waiting for the Nougat update....seeing ASUS's track record on rolling out the next iteration of android,expect a lot of delays and frustration just to see the update get rolled out to the masses.while other devices are getting Android Oreo,we'd still be stuck on Marshmallow...

marius

hello, the dual sim is standby or active?

misc

Well, my point is, don't get deceived with the spec of the phone, there are more component other than the hardware to choose your phone. My asus prev phone is shitty, i don't know about this one, but considering my 2 prev phone is asus and it's really below my expectation, i just can't bring myself to believe in asus product anymore. If it turns out this phone is better, then i congratulate you, i will still not buying another asus product tho (only the smartphone, lol).

I think you should buy it first and experience it before gave the negative comments here without experience it.. And please don't compare asus zenfone 2 deluxe (intel chipset) with Asus Zenfone 3 deluxe (snapdragon chipset) because it's totally different when comparing for whole performance..

Hider Hasbi

I don't know why many negative comments in Gsm arena for this smartphone Here is my point of view after using this smartphone more than a weeks Pros Looks premium and beautiful Battery can last longer when compared with S6 edge Plus and Note 5 Beautiful gaming graphics and performance Fast speed performance Nice beautiful camera! Thanks God there's 60fps setup for video recording Cons Fingerprints is not that good when compared with others chinese brand The screen not so sensitive when my finger just got a little bit sweat it became insensitive when touched Lack of memory card dedicated slot (hybrid sim slot issue) Still waiting for nougat update up until today.. (as flagship smartphone Asus should focused for android update)

I own the 570KL with S821 and 256GB onboard storage. Does anyone else notice how the battery drains super quick on this phone? Crazy how my wife iPhone 7 plus blows my phone out of the water when it comes to battery. Asus needs to roll out firmware to improve the battery and roll out Nougat.

Naz

I think you not set your update to automatic in data or wifi.. Make the phone autodownload and check tje latest firmware on your setting.. There will downliad and update automatic..

Ultramag69

I own one(256gb ROM, 6gb RAM), it is NOT laggy... Might be the other versions. There are about 4 or 5 versions available. The Zenfone 3(Snapdragon 625 and 4gb of RAM), Zenfone 3 deluxe 5.5" screen (Snapdragon 625 and 4gb of RAM) and finally the Zenfone 3 deluxe 5.7" screen (2 versions, 1 with a Snapdragon 820 and 4gb of RAM and the other with a Snapdragon 821 and 6gb of RAM).

AnonD-372934

I agree with you, I too have the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML and was swayed by the promises to upgrade the phone from Android 5.0 to 5.1, the update never came. We were then told there would be an OTA update to Android 6, I've been waiting months and that has never arrived either. I contacted Asus and was told that the update to Android 6 had already been rolled out since last August and my device must have missed it. They then gave me a link to download it manually but I was too wary to do it, if it's not an official OTA update I won't do it for obvious reasons. If the update goes wrong and messes my phone up they'll deny any responsibility. I do like the ZenFone 3 deluxe but I can't trust Asus promises to roll out an update to Android 7, once bitten twice shy. Sorry Asus you should look after your customers better and not tell obvious lies because they'll move on to another brand and will never trust you again.

Don't hold your breath on getting an Android update from Asus... Those of us with thier flagship Zenfone 2 were told we were getting an update from Android 5.0..... and it turned out to be a LIE... they NEVER provided an over the air update to that flagship phone.. so I have had it for 18 months and am STUCK on Android 5.0..... and it's not that our phone can't do the update... there are versions out there that even provide Android 7.0 for the Zenfone 2, but you must use those third parties to install. I won't touch the Zenfone 3 unless it ships with Android 7... because if they follow past performance you may be stuck with the version they shipped it with.

I don't agree with you. I'm one of the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML user. You can't say that Intel processor is power hungry. I've been used it almost 7 months and the battery still good. My phone can last for 6h when I'm playing NFS MW and it's working smoothly. But little laggy when my battery below 15prcent. It depends on how you use the phone. Please try before you say anything.

Zack

You dont know anything about performance. Game performance is not only depends on ram. You also must see what type processors and gpu its used. Zenfone 2 4GB ram is not high end spec or 'BEAST' smartphone you know. Its also not the flagship. When Zenfone 2 4GB came out, many others brand phone already used Intel Atom Zxxx series. Intel Atom Zxxx series not the powerfull processor for smartphone. Its also power hungry. At its came out, theres was many flagship brands powerfull out there better than Zenfone 2. Samsung S4 came out on the market was a flagship at that time back in 2013. Its used Exynos 5410 Octa for I9500, Snapdragon 600 for I9505 and Snapdragon 800 for I9506 LTE-A version. Its only 2GB. So, please dont think higher ram was better for gaming. Higher ram = better multitasking and others job, process & services. Zenfone 3 deluxe was differents. Its was created for gaming, multitasking and others job, process & services. Look at the processor and gpu. Its high end processor and gpu. Its have 2 model. First one Snapdragon 820 and second one was overclock from Snapdragon 820 became Snapdragon 821. So please try it first before you comments.

Beware of asus 'high spec' turns out to be lack of optimization on their device. I already experienced it with their previous flagship phone zenfone 2, no hope for asus. Just remember that HIGH SPEC is NOT always guaranteed to be BETTER than another phone with lower spec. Changed my phone to one of the biggest smartphone brand and i'm happy with it, not going back to asus anymore. I'm here not trying to be skeptic about asus product or anything, just to warn all of you out there who attracted to this phone because of the 'BEAST' spec, maybe you can compare the performance first to others brand flagship phone before you buy it. Nonetheless, if you like this phone then good for you, I just don't want to be lied with it's 'BEAST' spec that turns out it's much worse than other flagship phone, sounds stupid. My comment on zenfone 2 : -4 gb ram? feels like 2 gb ram, not as great as i expected. i expect the same with zen 3, waste of big ram, my new phone with 3 gb ram is far superior than this. -playing multi games with friend who is using galaxy s4, i'm lagging and my friend isn't, in fact my friend playing smoothly, ??????? at first i thought it was the problem with the internet but that is not the case -maybe there's something wrong with intel proc so the phone is not really optimized, not really sure -overall, zen 2 is a good phone it's just the performance doesn't really reflect on the 'BEAST' spec that is the selling point of this phone, really low expectation

Big Pep

I currently have the 256GB special edition and I'm happy with this phone. I just wish Asus would hurry and OTA the Nougat update already. I check every day and nothing. One of my co workers has a One Plus 3T at work and he has Nougat already. Only downside to owning a beastly phone like this is that Asus seems to take it's time with updates. They'll release firmware updates to improve stability of the phone but, they won't release software updates in a timely manner. Besides the software updates this is a solid phone.

I have the Z.3.D.S.E/256 Although I'm not into all the social stuff that S.phones can do today, I'm very happy with the phone stats. and the overall performance of this gear. The fast charging is great. Love the available space plus the Sd card slot. The latest update seems to up the signal reception and I'm running on the uncarrier in cal. Can't wait to see what else is improved with next update. I feel lucky and rewarded after all that saving up I did for this purshace.

GSMArena is not sure 100% that information here being written on papers 100% correct!!!Dearest requested friends:these were facts if GSMArena decides to write them fearlessly dares with guts!!!Unfortunately Asus pc machines makes mistakes and after Samsung Note7 tragedy doesn't risk using more than 3000 mah or maybe economical reasons!!!Dearest I wrote but Asus in number3 in the world smarddevice productions and might be prevent releasing and publishing your legal requests and though I stop writing facts which is forbidden here on my following my moral and GSMArena moral guidelines!!Farewell factloving factwriting enthusiasts!!GSMArena proves its dare and independence or dependence now!!!Justice Rights is Omid12Omivar,....

All is good except 4 battey. It continuously drains even on standby mode. Ive closed all battery consuming apps and d result is still d same. I think the battery of ASUS 4 dis model w/ AMOled screen, 6GB ram, 4G signal is not good at all compare 2 that of samsung

hope AZ3Deluxe price decrease fast and i have it free. hahaha

I am doing decision too, i decide ASUS zenfone 3 deluxe with 6GB ram & 64GB. this much more cheaper than huawei mate 9 pro and the spec is almost close between these 2 phone.

stranger

asus zenfone 3 deluxe or huawei mate 9 pro??

TheMan

How the battery specially on data and wifi mode?

256gb internal memory + 256gb memory card, 512gb total!!! SWEET.

Geo

Radio FM - Yes (Asus Deluxe 256 Gb)

Too bad they didn't use a 2560x1440 display. Although some may say 1080p is sufficient for any smartphone display, I prefer that extra DPI from a 1440 display (also prefer IP/IPS type display over AMOLED but that's just a personal preference). Am also hoping OEM's will pay more attention to the secondary camera specs in flagships. They tend to ignore the "selfie" cam. Even when they use a higher MP sensor they leave out OIS or auto focus, etc. Overall this is a sweet device and enjoyable to play with.

Turning out to be really great phone so far. Software updates are its best friend. Love the memory specs and the U.S. lte makes it one of the coolest pbones out there. The cons for is the a little small would have preferred these specs on the zenfone ultra ....

I had the exact same thought before choosing the zf3 deluxe 750kl over the s7 edge as the zf3 cost about $150 usd less than the s7 edge here in Thailand where I live but it absolutely outspec the s7 edge. The test result and ranking on antutu app also confirmed that my zf3 outperformed the s7 edge by about 10 places. The only thing that I was kinda disappointed with was the look and feel of the android 6.0.1 that came with the phone because I didn't think it looked much or any different from the android 5 version on my ZenFone 2 but will be upgraded to android 7 soon as a matter of time.

Hi everyone. I had iphone 7 plus and went to Asus ZenFone 3 deluxe 5'7 with 64gb and have 6gb ram. Bought on November 6th 2016 and not even month and phone has issue with receiver. That is part gives signal to phone and my data and calls are to shit. I bought from best buy and they want help and telling me to go through Asus and Asus will do repair and send me same phone that is having issue. Plus while they doing this repair I have no phone. What a great customer service they both provide. Very bad customer service from both company's. Any suggestions on this. Please contact me on [email protected] . Thank you

can i connect this to tv and view files, videos and pic? pls help tnx.

AnonD-614123

Its quite expensive if i have the money to buy a phone like this expensive ill pick s7 edge instead of this. In the inside its very competitive fast and smooth but compare it to s7 edge gorgeous design much better UI, ip68 water proof, fast wireless charging support, ultra fast capturing photos and its very easy to find accessories to s7 edge than this phone, theres a lot that samsung has compare to asus. But if your concern is only you want a metal phone then thats your personal preference but its a stupidity to deny samsung s7 edge is much much better compared to zenfone3 delux.

anonymous

youre actually right on the 3k battery, me myself asking that question also, the thing is i dont get the fact that asking about waterproof coz its just beacuse about how are you being careful on your mobile phone and besides theres alot of alternatives on the waterproof gadgets whn it comes to camers if thats gonna be your reason that you want to take a shoot under the water, more or likely even though its a waterproof mobile phone i dont want to use my mobile phone on the water, i just want to take care of it.

NeonHD

The bezels on the Xperia XZ actually complement the phone cause its part of the metal unibody, but the bezels on the Zenfone 3 Deluxe literally don't blend in with the metal as it's black, but the entire phone is not black. I actually don't care about the thickness of the bezels, I care about how much it "complements" the phone, in which this phone does a terrible job at (this goes for all Xiaomi phones and some other Chinese brands too).

please GSMArena, post your review about this phone, as I would like to know the Basemark OS II and Basemark X ratings, and the endurance rating of the battery.

AnonD-578358

I agree it would look better without them, and when I first picked it up, I noticed the bezel that one time, but after having the phone for 2 weeks, I had honestly forgotten about it and never noticed it again until I read your comment just now. I literally thought, oh yeah, there is a black bezel...lol. I assure you, you will quickly forget all about it.

AnonD-578358

This phone is utterly amazing. If you are contemplating this phone but hesitating, I highly recommend just pulling the trigger as everything runs butter smooth. The screen looks amazing and the camera takes excellent pictures in regular as well as very low light (which was my concern before pulling the trigger on my preorder of the US Special Edition). It compares favorably to the quality of the Pixel's camera so they must've fixed any issues in updates before they shipped mine. Fingerprint works very nice as well. There is a black bezel around the screen, but the only times I noticed it were before I bought it, the first time I turned it on, then I completely forgot about it for these last 2 weeks until I just now read a comment complaining about it. Sure it would be nice to have it hidden by the aluminum frame, but in actual practice, my eyes don't see it at all as my eyes never go there. The beautiful display completely draws my eyes away from that bezel. Even with my more powerful processor, my battery lasts completely through the day and will still have charge the next morning without charging. We will see how that lasts over the life of the device, but I was astonished to see how long it lasted. With an Antutu that tops out at 160K (about 140K for the SD820 version), 256GB, a stunning AMOLED display, excellent performing camera, and a micro SD up to at least 128GB (that may actually top out at the 2TB since another owner tried a 256GB card on the US SD820 version and it worked perfectly), there isn't another phone right now that delivers on all the hardware all around that this does. Then as added bonus, I didn't know I was going to love ZENUI 3.0 so much. I'm not claiming to be a launcher expert, but this is the best I have ever used, and it is fully customizable. This is everything I want in a phone, and of the things I would want to be better (QHD for better VR and no bezel), they are very little quibbles on a phone that stands above all the rest. The choice is yours but I can assure you, this choice won't leave you disappointed.

AnonD-578358

The special edition hits 160,000 on antutu with everything disabled. 156,000 with everything I use from Asus enabled, which is quite a bit.

What the hell is wrong with their design team? They seemed to nail absolutely EVERYTHING about its design except for those big ugly black bezels. I might've even been persuaded to think that it's the best premium quality smartphone ever, if it weren't for those stupid bezels.

Reviews seems good so far from the one that have received the US Variant.. you're not going to get much info since people who pre-ordered just started receiving it. BUT you'll get good info from Amazon.com review since it' updates daily from people who have received it so far. Make sure you read the correct review, since they'll combining 3 different phone on that review page. But everyone who have received the ZS570KL are pretty happy with it so far.

That's why instead of the normal mobile phone VR headsets I use wired HDMI driven VR headset with my phone via a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter. They are way better than normal mobile phone VR headsets.

AnonD-603427

For the one who wants it in US Variant.. Amazon have resisted their ZS570KL.. They are available to ship it out in 1-2 days on Prime... I feel like I want to cancel Bhphotovideo order and order through amazon... The ad thing is Bhphoto doesn't charge tax for CA vs amazon does.. Bhphoto will not start shipping till Nov 10

I can answer you. I got both 5.5" 1080p and 5.5" 1440p (2K) screen smartphone, both are equally sharp, small text are as sharp, and icons remain same size too, typical no difference in normal usage. The only different is in VR (Virtual Reality), where 1440p screen on VR is way superior. So, the key different would only be noticed is in VR. I test with screen on 6" 1080p and 6.44" 1080p too, all also don't have any sharpness issue compare to the 2K screen. Well, other different are the screen quality. Different phone is equipped with different quality screen, where some screen's viewing angle and contrast are higher, some screen colour are more saturated.

Zenny Is Mad!!

ok then...my bad....well,at least its still a Super AMOLED screen....;p

AnonD-603427

Never said 5.7 inch full HD amoled wasn't good enough buddy. Read again, I was just saying I have been using 1440 display for quite some time and going back to 1080p might take time to get use to since Icons and everything is going to be larger. If I really felt it wasn't good enough, I wouldn't have pre-ordered, right ? Wish you was able to answer questions I have beside something is obviously my least concern. But thanks

ZennyExplains

Actually it be dual active sim if you don't use the micro sd card slot since the sim try is a hybrid sim slot.

Zenny is Mad!

dude,you must have really bad eyesight to think that having a 5.7 inch full HD amoled screen isn't sufficient enuff.its definitely more than sufficient enough for most people unless you're Mr Magoo.😆😆😆

ASUS sure is taking their own friggin' sweet time to release the ZF3 Deluxe in my country.they announced it like in March or April and its still not available here in SG.Its almostccoming to the end of 2016 and honestly,ASUS is starting to piss me off with this lack of timely release of this phone.i mean look at the Google Pixel phones,they announced it like last month and now its already available.ASUS announced the ZF3 Deluxe like months and months and months ago and its still not available here.i'm starting to wonder if i get this phone,will they roll out the Nougat update in a timely manner?or are they gonna take their own sweet time like they did for Marshmallow update for the Zenfone 2.but one thing for sure is to me is that ASUS sucks right now for delaying the ZF3 Deluxe release here in my country.so hurry up dammit!!!

AnonD-603427

I am currently waiting for the US Variant which is promise to start shipping after Nov 10... Over here in the US, there's a wide selection of case and screen protector from Amazon. I don't know if they're available for you guys in Korea. I'm sure you can contact sellers on Amazon have them ship it to you at a cost or something. thanks for the Info. Your personal experience makes me feel more confident on the pre-ordered for $499 shipped. The only thing I might regret is the display resolution since I'm use to 1440 display. Let's hope I can get use to it. Anyone can confirm that 4g LTE and VoLTE works with US T-mobile ? I want to be 100% sure everything is compatible such as all bands. I have looked at the specs and looks like all band are there, but I want to hear it from someone who have this on hand review for TMO service since this is the first time I'm dealing with phone not purchasing directly from the carrier. And wondering will ASUS ever try to get WIFI Calling and Hotspot working with TMO. I was debating OP3 over this, but latest needs is that OP3 is coming with OP3T very soon for $80 more for extra performance such as SD821 and not sure what else. Hopefully better display and camera as well.

AnonD-603289

I ordered mine from Ebay, Taiwan and received my Deluxe on early October. So I've been using it for more than 2 weeks. Mine is SN 820 with 64 Gb of storage. It coast me 699 Usd. The machine is fast. When I say fast, it is seriously fast. Finger scanner is the quickest that I have seen. I've loaded over 4Gigs of apps and the did not have any negative effect on the performance. Built quality is awesome, no way to compare with anything else. I live in Korea, so I had the chance to check even LG V 20. Asus looks and feels better in hand. LG's Nougat is better for sure but let's cross the fingers and hope there will be an upgrade. The device is performing, ZenUi is allowing a lot of customization. Camera performance is more than sufficient, I seriously like the camera. It is fair to compare with I phone 7's cam. Though I phone is slightly better to my opinion. Sound output from 3.5mm jack is very strong. I use Poweramp paid version and happy with the sound quality. Original earbuds are reasonable but no way to compare with LG V 20's Bang Olufsen. LG V 20 had the best sound output that I have ever experience in an earbud. If this is a very important thing to you, I suggest you use high-quality wireless headsets such as Beats. I had one problem so far; when I touch the gallery icon on the camera screen, it says there is no photo in the gallery then I send an error report to Asus, they return in the following 24hr, advised me to use internal storage instead of the micro sd. Instead of following their advice I'm using the gallery app (which is not on the camera screen) on the apps list. Their quick response was good. By the way, when you shoot over 8mb photos, your micro sd may not be able to response fast enough so the gallery app in the cam may not do the job on time. I'm not blaming Asus for that. But they could give me an advice on the minimum speed requirement of sd card that I should choose. Another negative point is difficulties to find cover, screen protector and accessories. I had to order everything in the Ebay because nothing is available in Korea. I do not know other countries. Battery capacity is not bad; with wifi internet and about 3 hours gaming per day, I spend 70% of the battery and 30% available when I finish the day. Could Asus or a third-party please make a battery case for this device? I like those things.

Don't bother. Just like my zenfone 2, lasted a month out of the box before the digitiser broke and they refused to replace or fix it, Customer service sucks, product sucks, specs for price suck, quality control appears to be no existent, If you like being extremely disappointed with your purchases and messed around by the company then this may be the phone for you, seriously go and look at the reviews for asus on trust pilot, none of them have more than a 2/10 rating...

Excellent alternative to Note 7 . Normal flat display and top hardware with Amoled Display. Battery can definitely be bigger since Samsung a9 pro fits 5000 mAh battery in a phone with a 6.0 inch display .

I tried the Zenfone 2 earlier this year and came defective right out of the box. The company customer service asked me to return the phone after it failed the factory reset. I did. Purchased NEXUS 6P - no problems, stellar performance and always up to date. For less than $799.00 I'd get the Google Pixlr XL.

AnonD-584033

I believe this will be my next phone. I've never owned a Asus product, but I think this is the one for me.

Taner

Back side finger print sensor was available with HTC One Max on 2013 and it is indeed very convenient for a big device for "single hand use". Imagine if the FP sensor was on the front face and you try to unlock it using one hand; holding the phone in one hand and unlocking it will probably cause you to drop the phone. I personally am very happy with rear FP sensor.

Jeff

Hmm, now that makes sense. Most probably such a system is beneficial for AR and VR systems.

AnonD-584033

This is like the LG V20, a big phone with a tiny battery. Why not at least 4000mAh?

Chaosruler

infra red sensor != infra red blaster the latter is what you expect for IR devices control the former is for movement tracking mostly and heat-tracking... like the wiimote has

Jeff

Yeah you are right. I installed the IR Remote app but it didn't work for me either. That's really odd because there's a infrared sensor on the back. I think that infrared sensor is for some other purpose.

Chaosruler

I bought it on ebay, it was sent from Taiwan

MasterBlaster

Shani

what is its price in Dubai? and when this phone ll be released in dubai...??? i have checked online websites but can't find Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL...

Chaosruler

I came from Note 4 (SM-N910F)... I actually don't feel much difference about battery life, device is running much less hotter than Note 4 I DO NOT have any IR remote hardware or any pre-installed IR remote app and I have tried several, I believe the IR sensor in the back of the device is for camera purposes for motion detection (similar to the one on Wii motes) the device is very very fast and responsive (256GB/6GB RAM) and the "all metal" design looks so much more better than they advertised, it actually feels different from a lot of phones I held in the past (including iPhones), but I don't feel the difference regarding the antenna... though I did have some GPS issues but it was probably worked out after a software update the touch screen is one of the best I have worked with, but the digital buttons on the bottom are somehow "too responsive", I sometimes want to press the back button "once" but it presses twice, I wish I could've modded the sensitivity, but it requires root... and about root - in Zenfone 2 ASUS released a bootloader unlock tool to unlock the bootloader so you could install any recovery you'd want and from there you could flash root into your device (along with any ROM you want, but you don't really want to do that as of now), this time around I don't see any official bootloader unlock tool (and unofficial) and that's somehow really missing from android (could really love some of xposed mods) so if you are buying the device soon - you are going to accept that for now there's lack of root until the community at XDA or somewhere else decides to unlock the bootloader about the camera - that's a story for itself... I can take pictures while moving and they'd turn great, I can take pictures on the darkest rooms and the pictures would turn great, I even took a picture directly facing the sun and it turn great... I never had the pleasure of auto-focus working so well while moving so you could take a picture while moving, this is very awesome for travelling, the back facing camera is THE BEST phone camera I have ever seen The Zen UI launcher is very good - I came from Nova Launcher on the Note 4, what I loved about the Nova Launcher is the ability to mod it to your liking, you could turn on count notification on all apps except specific (WhatsApp, Messaging, specific e-mail apps), you could include software implentation for "knock knock" similar to the one present on LG phones (which is very handy while driving) and various touch animations.... Zen UI doesn't do better than Nova Launcher but I didn't install Nova Launcher because Zen UI does pretty good job, it allows you to mod the notification count, give you different animation to different screen reaction, it allows you to have live wallpaper dependable on the time\battery left - which in my book is very creative, it allows you to have different grid sizes of the screens and multiple screens and it allows you to mod the folder grid size itself (the inside) but if you lack an option, you can't add it to the launcher like on Nova Launcher... I for example had on Nova Launcher the ability to add a button that when pressed, the device wouldn't require fingerprint to unlock, a handy option while driving, because even with the knock knock support Asus implented (in the hardware judging by the response time) It's not easy enough to type the custom PIN code, so for those of us who love the advantage of finerprint security but had to do it while driving - will have to wait till the device is rooted to gain that, but other than that the launcher is very open to you.... ofc you can e-mail Asus for support to include such option (prevent device lock) but that would kill the point of android... if I wanted someone to do the job for me and to wait while they do that - I'd go apple... I am also a developer, I used my device as debugging device, I have to tell you that Zen UI lets you the freedom of that, Note 4's TouchWiz UI would sometimes (and very annoyingily) interfere with my debugging by reducing my app priority on the debugger on android, increasing CPU frequency suddenly (which would increase the timer frequency and therefore might leave some pieces out of sync) which made it very hard to stabilize my application for "proof of concept\possiblity" run before working on it to be more stablizied on other devices, while developing on the Note 4 I had to make sure the app is very very stable if I used unofficial libraries (such as Dropbox, Yahoo etc.... Firebase worked great though) because if I wouldn't, the app would crash... with this phone it didn't happen once, I don't know if it's because it's not using Samsung sources more than how Zen UI is (for example, I am sure developing on Nexus device would be as much fun) so I can't commend on Zen UI to be this friendly, but I can tell you that its more friendly than TouchWiz UI as for gaming - I can't comment so much about it as I mainly installed emulators (GB & GBC, GBA, LucasArts SCUMMVM) but on the few games I did play (The World Ends With You Solo Remix, Hearthstone, FIFA 15: UT, Pokemon GO) the performance was much better than on the Note 4 (especially on heartstone - it is very heavy game unlike what everyone thinks), TWEWY Solo Remix ran extreemly fast, the improved touch input availabe on the phone made the game much better, heartstone loading time was decreased by a lot and runs much smoother (probably because heartstone works with a lot of cache memory and the UFS II storage runs faster), Pokemon GO app runs very quick (though dependable on the servers) but unless you tick power saver mode - it still uses a lot of battery (though unlike my Note 4, I didn't feel device heat) and the emulators are calibrated for lower end devices so I think it is kind of obvious they were very very fast and responsive on the Zenfone 3 Deluxe as for hardware, I am not sure people noticed but you have the ability to either use 2 different simcards or 1 simcard & 1 memory card, that choice means a lot to me, even though I obviously chose the second one

May be in your country, ASUS after sales service is good, but not in my country. Been owning the Intel Atom Zenfone 2 and this phone is a disaster. Sending many time to service centre to fix this and that but still cannot solve the issue until warranty period over. Aside from the Intel processor that frequently overheat, and have compatible issue, the call quality, sim tray, micro sd slot, the ZenUI, all has issue. The phone like to keep restarting itself in a day for few time. Then, ZenUI always freeze, even on the latest update. Sim tray some time cannot detect sim card, then micro sd slot now already cannot detect any micro sd card after warranty. It call speaker also very quiet. It is way low quality than other cheap phone that I own, which is disappointed. This is not happen on me only, but all my friend also facing the same issue with their Zenfone 2. Yes, the same cannot be apply to Zenfone 3, may be ASUS has sort out all the issue, then already ditch the Intel processor and favour to Qualcomm Snapdragon, it already made me lose faith on this brand. PS:It's Zenfone Zoom 128GB now just half price from it's original price, and yet nobody in my country rush to buy it, simply because of headache on Zenfone 2, left too much old stock. Zenfone 2 also half price now.

What's your impression about the phone, especially about battery life? Does Smart Remote detect IR blaster?

AnonD-531593

Please can someone to confirm IR blaster on this mobile?

Chaosruler

Dude I am not lying... it even says it doesn't support due to lack of hardware component and this is ZenFone 3 Deluxe

Jeff

You can use the app called Smart IR Remote.

Chaosruler

I have the phone... I don't think there's an IR blaster on this phone, I don't see it and I don't see it on ASUS official website on the device, in fact only on gsmarena I see it has IR blaster... tell me which 3rd party app you were talking about?

Jeff

Yes it can control IR equipment but you need to install 3rd party app to emulate the remote. Other than that the position of IR sensor is bit odd, i.e., to the side of the phone so you need to hold it in a rather unconventional way.

Anonymous

Can it control air conditioners via infrared Blaster ???Has someone tried it ??

Jeff

All the LTE frequencies of Verizon are supported by this phone so as long as you are in an area with Verizon VoLTE signal it would work fine but if you are some area which is beyond the coverage of Verizon VoLTE then it won't work as it doesn't support CDMA frequencies.

Jeff

I do support this statement of yours, phones with fingerprint sensor in rear are indeed inconvenient. At times when the device is on the table you need to pick it up in order for unlock it while phones with fingerprint sensor on front are easy to unlock even if they are on the table. Rear mounted fingerprint sensors on such large phones are even more problematic as the user needs to literally stretch his fingers to unlock them, not good at all especially if you need to unlock your device in jiffy. I don't know who started this weird trend of placing fingerprint sensors in the rear but it sure is impractical.

Jeff

It has a USB Type-C port so you don't need MHL for HDMI output. All you need to use is a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter and you're good to go. Other than that you can use a USB Type-C multiport adapter like HooToo Shuttle to take HDMI output, connect USB peripheral devices, read additional memory cards and charge the phone simultaneously at a time.

FM radio is indeed quite a rarity on phones these days. But oddly enough the ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe has a FM radio, good for those who still listen to FM.

Here is the question; can it record stereo sounds along with the 4 K video? I think it can not. Could somebody confirm this?

They took a long time getting out the Marshmallow updates, especially for the Atom-based phones. But they did eventually finish it, though they still seem to be dragging their heels about offering it as an OTA update. Let's hope they do better on the new models.

AnonD-309336

I'm surprised that ASUS went with a 1080p display. This phone has flagship level specs in every other category; it should have come with a higher resolution display. It doesn't really matter whether there is any real user benefit; people are going to compare the display specs and find it lacking. On the other hand, bringing the Snapdragon 821 and 6GB RAM is great. And flash options up to 256GB. Add one of the 256GB MicroSD cards that are starting to appear and you can have half a terabyte on board - which will be great for the claimed 24/192 audio output.

I love Qnovo

Will the soft-key have LED back-lit for deluxe edition? No back-lit is not convenience in night. By the way, I think the back cover looks like a koala bear.

I'm so interested to buy this phone coz I find it cool and have everything i want...however I've been reading reviews and most of it are negative reviews...so i just can't decide...is Asus really bad?never use Asus b4...

Jeff

The displays on ASUS mobile phones used to be poor because they used to use dull LCD panels, but things have changed with Zenfone 3 Deluxe, the new Super AMOLED screen used on this device is extremely vibrant with great viewing angles.

Jeff

ASUS is a highly dependable brand. Their quality control is good and after-sales service is great and responsive, I would say that their after-sales service is at times better than brands like Samsung, Lenovo and Huawei. They are bit pricey than their competitors but the quality of their devices is excellent and worth the price.

mag

hi! i want to ask how its asus brand cause i dont really know about that one

sohail shafayat

to produce a fine 23MP image you need a 1/2" sensor. otherwise it will be mediocre like Sony Xperia 23MP cameras...

sohail shafayat

1. I am worried to compare Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe's 3000 mAh battery with the Note 5's 3000 mAh battery. let's wait to see what comes in review 3. 1080p for 5.7" display maybe considerable but I found Asus's displays are very low quality with poor viewing angle, and remember, it's a DELUXE version

sohail shafayat

sensor siZe maybe same but it has a 23 MP sensor while Note 5 has a 16 MP sensor, means Note 5 camera has bigger pixels and Zenfone 3 Deluxe camera has smaller pixels, only 1 micrometer.

sohail shafayat

1. sensor size may be same but it's a 23 MP sensor while Note 5 has a 16 MP sensor, means Note 5 sensor has bigger pixels and Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe has smaller pixels, only 1 micrometer in size 2. Display resolution maybe considerable but I found Asus's phone displays just rubbish, poor viewing angle. 3. I am worried to compare Asus Zenfone's 3000mAh battery with Samsung's 3000mAh battery. So, let's see what comes through a full review

Nick

Also camera sensor size is same as note 5.

Nick

1) 3000mAh battery is definitely NOT SMALL for 5.7" phone(note 5 also has 3000mAh battery) 2) Battery used by RAM is negligible. Battery is mainly used by CPU, screen and modem. More RAM means smoother multi-tasking and faster apps loading times. 3) You don't need 1440p resolution for 5.7" display unless you use VR. Even if you look at both screens side by side, you won't see any difference in sharpness. 1080p is perfect resolution for 5.7" screen. It also helps reduce power consumption and load on GPU. It is obvious especially in playing graphic intensive games- You'll get smoother game play(better frame rate) and less warming of your phone.

AnonD-583469

Im still waiting for gsm to review this hope they can post a review before october.

Jeff

Indeed that's why Zenfone is better than them. All I was trying to say that if ASUS managed to roll out update in a manageable time for the x86-64 powered Zenfone 2 that means it's quite obvious that the updates the ARM powered Zenfone 3 Deluxe would be way more timely and fast.

Its really over priced....and battery is low with its good performance and processor....i think its dumped idea for asus

AnonD-586703

it is not dual active like the zenfone 2.... For that reason I am waiting to see the P9 Mate that is dual sim full active.

Jeff

On Zenfone 2 the Marshmallow update was delayed because it ran on x86 Android. x86 and x64 Android is always released bit late than ARM version but since the Zenfone 3 and Zenfone 3 Deluxe use ARM processors they would get faster updates.

Zennynatori

I agree with Jeff.even though we got Marshmallow update for Zenfone 2 a bit longer than intended,we eventually got it.and now even my Zenpad s 8.0 got the Marshmallow update a few days ago.Asus came through with the updates even though it took a while.and i'm not expecting to get the Nougat update soon either coz from what i heard,there seems to be some issues with it.hopefully Google will sort out these issues on Nougat and as soon as its stable,hopefully Asus will push out the update after.

Zennynator

Honestly i think the FHD screen on the Zenfone 3 Deluxe should be sufficient enough.and it'll help the battery last longer.the 6GB of RAM wil hopefully lessen the load on processing app running in the background.it all about proper optimization of the software and i think the phone will perform greatly.Asus should be focusing more on optimizing the software on the Zenfone 3 Deluxe and it should be just fine.i've already saved up money and i realised i could buy both the Zenfone 3(which i already bought the 5.5 inch 64GB ROM/4GB RAM model)😋😋😆 and the Zenfone 3 Deluxe!!!gonna get the 256GB with Snapdragon 821.hopefully it gets released in my country in early October or late September.i'm so excited i can't wait!!!

Jeff

Of course this device is pricier than Axon 7, Mi5 and OnePlus 3 but let us not forget that ASUS has a way better quality control and after-sales service than those brands. So it is more reliable than those phones. ASUS is like the Volkswagen of phones, their products may not generate much interest of consumers and their prices may not be that low but rest be assured their quality control and after-sales service is damn good.

One problem with ASUS phones is their design... Yes, design is subjective depend on our tastes. but at least for me, ASUS's design is ugly and doesn't feel premium at all unfit to its high price. As for the price, at my place, this model are roughly $100 more expensive than Samsung S7 Edge. MSRP $499 mentioned in their launching are BS!!

Last time i bought an Asus was zenfone 2 with 32gb/4gb.the only problem i had was the touch screen sensitivity.it wasnt sensitive enough. And Asus aftersales in Indonesia isnt anywhere close to Samsung's aftersales. Aftersales is like the no.1 reason i buy a Samsung instead of any other brand. But i hope Asus would make their aftersales better than i might consider.

After 1.3 years with my Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, which has: - 3010mAh - Snapdragon 810 v2.1 - 5.7" 2K IPS - 4GB LDDR4 - 64GB Rom I have to admit that I never want a phone with less than 5.7" screen, less than 2K (yes, there is a difference using FHD and 2K for 5.7" screens!). But what's turning me down for the Zenfone 3 Deluxe is the really bad battery! The 3010mAh in my Mi Note Pro are empty faster than you think and I'm on my second battery change already! I will only get a phone with at least 4000mAh or more for this screen size! The Galaxy A9 Pro has 5000mAh on a 6" screen, the Xiaomi Mi Max has 4850 on 6.44".

Good luck getting the Android Nougat update if you buy this phone. Users that have the Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe are just barely getting the Android M update six months after it was officially released. I used to own an Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe and switched to a different phone since Asus likes to take forever to release updates. Not only that but, this phone has supposedly been out since last month. Yet a phone that is made in Taiwan isn't available in Taiwan upon release date. Go figure.

Also the Xiaomi MI 5 is a great phone. (7.2mm snap dragon 820) with a dream price but unfortunately, in the USA, its NOT supporting the frequency for LTE by most carriers, (Ting.com will support I think the 2600mhz). So I cant wait to put hands on this beauty with hope the US retail would be $450.00.

"deluxe is very very high price no water proof no s pen no back gorilla glass no more colours option no radio no 5000 mph big battery no wireless charging no handset avaliable on line after launch no more service centre only 2 ..." well its actually launching in the usa at around 500 USD for the lower end model and 600-700 for the higher end model. it has amazing specs for a phone of that price range. No need for wireless charging. its a slower method and not really as great as it sounds. it has an IP66 I believe. so no it cannot be submerged, but rain and average spills shouldn't hurt it too badly. it has no gorilla glass on the back because IT HAS A METAL BODY! I do agree the colors are slightly limitting, but by that logic so is all of the high end apple phones and every samsung with only three color options as well. There doesnt need to be a radio because instead it has nfc. just go out and buy an alarm clock. that has better signal and sound than any phone radio ever would, plus you can just download pandora. The battery may seem small, but in reality the 3000 mAh (MILI-AMP NOT MILES PER HOUR!) batter is enough to charge a tesla battery almost half way. I dont understand the rest of your complaints, but with the 6 GB of ram the 64GB of rom and the fastest processor on the market today, fastest storage available on the market today and one of the best GPUs on the market today, it is more than amazing for the price. I wouldnt change a thing about this phones specs. On paper, its the best phone you can buy for the money and the best phone you can buy for the most impressive specs. I cant wait to buy this phone, but if you have reservations, continue to study up on the specs and tell me what specifically you dont like about it.

They just announced the Snapdragon 821 model in August. They are rolling them out slowly by region (starting in Asia) -- just recently launched in the Philippines.

I haven't really seen this phone being officially released.if it was,we would have seen reviews being done on it on youtube and such.all i see are quick hands on reviews.this is just as bad as Asus not officially releasing the Marshmallow update for the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML,which to me is the worst ever...first they say the update is coming in June,now its already mid august.wtfh is Asus doing?!!!

Is the video rec audio sound quality good?

Zenfan

Apart from camera sensor IMX318 (mixed feeling during hands-on try & not convincing 1st impression shown on videos online), 6GB RAM (previews stating unclear of how the phone use such amount of RAM), 256GB ROM & Snapdragon S821 (just a slight bump over S820, not major upgrade); it is not worth paying so much for these features, in my opinion. The asking price really ruined the thought of buying deluxe. RM2600 & RM3300 is too high for Asus to entice consumer as of now for a premium phone. Considering the fact that S7 edge costs about ~RM3100? & not to mention the upcoming Note 7 ~RM3200; with all the bells & whistle of S7's camera experience & edge screen, Gorilla glass 5, Iris scanner, Quad HD, bigger battery, larger ppi & of course, S-Pen. Such a sad disappointment, Asus. Has it been launched earlier, it would be "new"

AnonD-325712

Wow... High contrast... 1:3000000

Have you ever heard about microsoft lumia 950 and 950 xl..it the first phone introduce iris scanner..read before you post

AnonD-570890

I tot Rm2599 is jus the announce price so when it comes to retail price, it will be cheaper. zenfone 3 only cost ard rm1314 but they annouce it as 1599 Taking time factor into consideration, S7 edge was released for quite awhile now so thats why it had reduced to that price. like lgg5 price had dropped roughly ard rm 600 in three months.

AnonD-259759

Fun fact: In Malaysia, I can get a 1st hand S7 edge original with Samsung Malaysia official warranty starting at RM2399. ZenFone 3 Deluxe cost at RM2599,why I cannot make the comparison? Think before you comment bro.

samsung

lol... no phone can be alternative of samsung note 7. no one give iris scanner , powerful camera , sensors , Trust that only samsung have

Is this phone waterproof?

Zenfan

Yes. Attended the product launch as well. After revealing excellent on-paper specs, they do not comply when trying hands-on at demo area. Tried only deluxe, camera does experience shutter lag for few seconds, even after reducing quality to less than 23megapixel. Super resolution for further images also not impressive

Yup very disappointed ,I'm Asus fan also (Zen 2 ,4 units family n i,N one Zen watch 2). if compare with Samsung Note 7 only RM 3199(64GB,4GB RAM) anything is new technology n waterproof, Asus Deluxe RM 3299(256GB ,6 GB RAM)no need big storage,N no waterproof, If compare all function ,pixel,design ,branded ,pen ,colour phone,battery....

AnonD-259759

Do you meant "shutter lag"? I experience that as well when I snap the picture continuously, it isn't as smooth as what I experience in iPhone 6S and S7 edge. And since they like to compare themselves to iPhone 6S so much, I try to shake while snapping pictures, it wasn't as good as the iPhone 6S. Low light camera performance is just ok, but not as good as s7 edge.

koko

i attended the Malaysia launch event and also tested Asus zenfone 3 series at the launch date. The camera quality is not as good as stated in the specs. zenfone 3 feel lacking when i press to shoot few pics at a time. low light performance is average. i purposely take pic with my hand shaking..guess what..the pics also resulting blur.. this applied to their flagship zenfone 3 deluxe and also zenfone 3 ultra as well. so sad..i have been waiting few months for zenfone 3 series but it just good on paper specs only. this is just my personal experiences at the launch date.

AnonD-259759

For what I'm lying for? 1. I am a fan of Asus. 2. I owned 2 Asus devices 3. I want Asus to be better 4. I know Asus for used to to be fair price and high spec. 5.

More megapixels doesn't equal better image quality.. I would have thought everyone knew this by now?

I have tried the camera on lauching. It isn't the most snappy camera. Tabbing multiple times to snap will cause lagging(probably because of the huge size of 23mp image) Image quality isn't as impressive as S7 edge in low light. The navigation buttons at the bottom not responsive(maybe test unit got problem) I simply cannot justify the gap of price based on this camera

More RAM doesn't mean higher power consumption. It's not the RAM that consumes the power, it's the poorly coded or frequently data fetching applications that are left in the memory. That's why companies opt for a more aggressive memory management, killing Apps from the memory even tho there's still plenty of RAM to spare.

raymart

do you think asus will make a 6gb ram phone without any reason they make 6gb ram and think and plan to resolve that batery isues come on

nice phone but now that the note 7 is out no ones gonna bother looking for this phone. announced months ago but i bet the note 7 will reach markets earlier than this ever will

Good point...current apps wont take more than 3-4 gigs on max usage....excess ram would just drain the battery more even if u r just doing the basic stuff....

CM Digital

This phone has great specs but is taking so long to release. Three months so far after being announced aND still waiting. What's the deal ASUS?!?! How long do we have to wait???

Aumar

More RAM means more power. More power means more battery consumption. if Battery management is not that good 3k mAh will not be enough. Else it will just drain the battery faster. Maybe,.. just maybe that's why this Samsung Note 7 just stick to 4gb of RAM.

It depends as the deluxe is slightly more powerful but has less battery power, if you are going to use the phone for work in the office, get the ultra but otherwise get the deluxe as it is more powerful and it is not as big. Treat it like the Samsung galaxy s7 and the note 5

It'll depend on the pricing of the ZF3 Deluxe, because you can pick up the Xiaomi Mi5 for $350 on sale from China. If you'd like the biggest bang for the buck phone, then the Mi5 is a no-brainer. If you don't mind spending more and getting a phone with a better camera, expandable storage and also a tougher phone (glass vs. metal) you can wait out the ZF3 Deluxe.

Anonymous

- "better display" - How do you know? The flaw of the OP3 is that it uses PenTile pixel arrangement, ZF3 Deluxe has a "Super AMOLED" display, which is also a PenTile display. - "better battery" - The ZF3 Deluxe and OP3 have the same battery capacity (3000 mAh) - "more durable" - the OP3 is pretty damn tough, just look at some crash tests. Also we don't have any reports about ZF3 Deluxe build quality. I agree about the rest. And please don't think that I'm hating on the ZF3 Deluxe :) It's currently the phone I'm the most hyped about.

Not just Asus, but actually all smartphone manufacturers will not giving their best "flagship killer" specs, because they're tricking you to buy it, for example Samsung and Sony..they're even trying to sell low specs and rubbish phone with a "competitive" price they said(dont know what they're thinking) ..this is how their marketing strategy works in order to make their products sold out.. don't u see it? With super amoled display, support 4k recording, massive ram, massive rom and all of that shit, but still with their stupid 3000mAh battery.. they assume you guys gonna buy this "flagship killer", then they will come out with another series, with the same specs but maybe a bit larger battery capacity, let say 3600mAh maybe.. again, they've fooled you to buy it.. be a smart user.. we don't need to buy their shit for many times.. i have to say this cause im not a smartphone collector.. please, im not bashing this product, but im just tired seeing all of this smartphone specs..

Deepak

let it be even 50GB RAM and 100 GB ROM.......battery is important.....Asus zenfone max has 5000 mAh....and this deluxe only 3000 mAh?

wan rio afzi

just try zandfone 3 deluxe asus battery 4600 mah definitely sold on the market...

Erik

I wish to know, when this phone will be available?

AnonD-553336

1. A general question: why is it impossible to make a dedicated SD card slot? Refers to all new smartphones. 2. Why only 3000 maH whereas the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL is promised to have 4600 maH? 3. Here it is claimed that Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL has "Dual SIM (Nano-SIM/ Micro-SIM, dual stand-by, dual active)" whereas ASUS site claims it has "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" (https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS5­70KL/specifications/) just like Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra ZU680KL. I'd prefer a Deluxe version with 4600 maH (or more, why stop there), and a dedicated card slot, and dual active. Sweet dreams...

AnonD-553303

Prefer zenfone 3 deluxe. Better wait a while for better specs. And the infrared feature u'll love it, it'll become usefull for remote replacement of your home electronic devices such as tv, dvd player, ac, sound system (home theater), set top box & many more.

AnonD-553303

Agree. Better wait a while for better specs.

AnonD-553303

Hopefully the 6/256GB version really available (not dream specs just like s*****g creating n*** 3 with ROM 64GB but the actual product isn't available) & the price tag isn't way up ahead beyond the reach.

You do realise that there are three versions of this phone. The reqular 3 has a smaller screen and similar specs.

AnonD-553153

even thought it's just 3000mAh, the battery will last long, bcz it's not inte* anymore. snapdragon consumes less power, it could last a single day with single charging. am i correct?

i have zenfone 2 nice phone no problem still working nice almost 1 year i use this phone nice product asus keep it up nice product hope zen 3 also the same

Yes i have same problem... The batery.... For what if you have a high performance smartphone but everytime you go you're looking for power plug or you must bring the heavy powerbank every where you go.

asus proved that smartphone should not cost to much. whoever behind this product, Thank you so much for creating a good smartphone.

screen resolution and battery capacity should be increased. Apart from that it is going to be an amazing smartphone.

ChoDockZ

Overall, Good Specs..But : 1. Display Size is too big. At least 5.2-5.5" is acceptable 2. Battery capacity is to small for extra large display, monster procie and memory. At least make it 4000mah or maybe like Asus Zenfone Max at 5000mah

kishore

3000 mah battery for this is too bad why this company increases battery capacity upto min. 400mh

Andy cabul

I love asus smartphone, i use zenfone 2 551ml. N i ll upgrade to zenfone 3 or maybe z titan. But.. why asus make this good stuff bigger than mine. I hate that. I hope asus give me a simple phone with a good spec next time

AnonD-551026

According to me: 1. I don't like the asus ui & its bloatware (yeah i know root it and flash a rom, but i don't want to do that at least for a year and a half of buying a phone [currently using oppo find 7a, rom: dirty unicorns 9.4] so just bumms me out lolz even thinking about using this phone with that ui for that long) also rooting and flashing roms have their fair share of disadvantages from the experiences with my phone, so this is what makes me incline towards oneplus 3. Oh yeah and also there are worries about the software support from asus, oneplus 3 has already received 3 updates. 2. I'm worried about the battery life of this phone as asus phones are notoriously know for giving low battery life. But then again being a 1080p instead of qhd helps and i'm happy about that. Still if you ask me being a 5.7 inch odd screen i think they should have fitted a larger battery like about 4000 mah and i would not mind that little bit of thickness given the benefit of battery life.

kesse

5,7" screen is too big for my hand :D

Literally the same thing as the OnePlus 3, but it also has an SD card slot. If it comes in under $450, I'll for sure be picking one of these up instead of a OnePlus 3 next month. The SD slot is a complete game changer. Why OnePlus doesn't have one on the 3, I will never understand. Baffles me. 64GB isn't enough for me :( (40GB+ in music ALONE that I keep downloaded, and that grows on a daily basis. Can't get unlimited data from any carriers here for a reasonable price to be able to stream. $50 a month for 2gb of data is the cheapest it gets, $150+ for unlimited on one line T_T) Shame.

First of all, launching a phone without FM in India is a serious issue to the company. Need to Add FM Radio if Asus want to sell it in Inda. Secondly, the black bezels are too thick, there should be a thinner or no black bezel. Just doesnt goes with the design at all. Hope the above gets fixed in Zenfone 4

Z5 can utilize its camera potential when the user know the manual mode or tricks for better result. Let's face the reality, today people just launch the camera and shoot. Sony in Auto mode is bad. If they can fix this to their camera software. I will be go back to Sony again.

I totally agree with you and what you said especially with the huge battery size I wish there was a way for them to really see both put this process into play why have a phone with such power with a small crappy battery it just wouldn't make any sense and you will not make any money but with the huge battery that you recommended and I wish that this letter can go straight to the company for those guys to redo the whole phone even though it's going to make a little extra but we don't care about size when we can have a phone that will last us with all these killer monstrosity specs great minds think alike

Thamizh

is it really true ...?

BeeAnt

What holds me back from buying Zenfone most is the thick side bezel. Their Zenfone 2 lines with 5.5" screen (which translates into 68mm screen width) have 77mm phone width. That means around 4.5mm width for each side bezel. #facepalm. This Zenfone 3 Deluxe still has the same 77 width, but with 5.7" screen (translates into 70mm screen width), around 3.5mm width for each side bezel. Not that much bump, but definitelly nicer!

I have a few suggestions for ASUS to incorporate a few improvements to this phone and they can expect people to go crazy about this phone. 4 improvements to Zenfone 3 deluxe ZS570KL: 1) Incorporate FM radio- I mean, seriously, how could you even think of launching a device without an inbuilt FM radio. In this music frenzy world where people want to live with live music. I'm sure this is going to be a big NO-NO for any phone buyer. 2) Decrease the dimensions of the phone - I mean, seriously again, people want to keep the phone in their pockets and not use it as 'pudding plates'. A 5 inch screen is enough for a phone or increase it to 5.5 with the screen to body ratio being at least 72% or above. This would really help you design phones with smaller physical dimensions. Being a technical person I understand the necessity of the 'extra' body but still, the device needs to fit in our pockets 'safely'. And this is seriously very important - 'safely' - making sure that the phone doesn't fall out of our formal trouser pockets in our daily run in the life. 3) Dedicated slot for SD card: Come on!!! stop joking. What's the purpose of buying a dual sim phone if one can not use 2 sims at the same time when one slot is being used up by the memory card. Although I understand that after 128/256 GB of internal memory being available one shouldn't need an extra memory card BUT if you are providing a service then my request is please do so without making it to interfere with another service being provided. Allow the users to use both the services at the same time. Otherwise it doesn't make sense providing multiple features but with a caveat of only one can be utilized at a time. 4) Please Please Please increase the battery to 5000 mAh with fast charging: The battery of a Zenfone has always been the biggest 'NO' factor for buyers. Increasing the battery size will attract people to try using the phone once more, to give it a try once more and once people find it actually living a life of more than a day or 2, it will be a big 'superhit' without any question. I understand that this might put restrictions on decreasing the physical dimensions of the phone but I'm sure that the technical people sitting in ASUS can obviously find for the best balance between the two BUT yes, keep note that customers would really love to own a phone with a longer battery life without taking long to get fully charged and which can fit in their pockets 'safely'. A Zenfone from ASUS with all the specs from Zenfone 3 deluxe included along with the 4 enhancements suggested above will help ASUS gain a huge market share and increse it's popularity as well. I am an ASUS fan and would love to see a phone of the suggested kind launch in the market. All the best!

If the asus optimize the camera to their software, this will be badass. Still let's wait. So shut up and wait until the unit is available.

Whatever dat phone is using baddest camera or more. The people behind the "gun" its more important than dat phone's camera. Even my Zenfone 2 makes more likes on FB than Mi4i photos (Which Mi4i famously cause has great camera on this price range). And Zenfone 3 camera's has more enchanment than Mi5 camera with same camera sensor (Sony IMX 298) like 3 Axis EIS,Color Correction Sensor (same as LG G4 and LG G5's Spectrum sensor) and 2nd gen Laser AF so you can imagine how good Zenfone 3 Deluxe camera (Sony IMX 318) because its has more price and enchanment from Sony IMX 230 like built in hybrid AF and 3 Axis EIS (Sony IMX 300's Sony Xperia Z5 has too) and has same camera hardware enchanment of Zenfone 3 so its must be great to fighting 2016 flagship smartphone's camera and no BLLSHT anymore.

most of the flagships use sony's camera that's nothing to be embarrassed about...lol

Bürgus

Because it looks pretty much the same as a 2K display (unless you're using it for VR) but it doesn't waste battery. And it's AMOLED, so it probably has better contrast and saturation than the LG G5 or the Moto X Style. 2K on a smartphone is just a big waste of battery that makes no practical difference.

Spec is great but design still sucks, but at least better than its predecessor.... WTH with that gap between bezel and screen? And its also uneven, the one below is larger and its ugly. What is the point to have thinnest bezel if it has the largest screen gap -_-)

ssbatman21

even wid its 23 mp camera i hoghly doubt it can take pics as good as 12 mp from samsung or apple or lg. dont get fooled by the 'megapixels'.... look at d entire xperia z series, total disaster even wid d higher mp count..... look at its aperture, f/2.0 is on d lower side of average by 2016 standards. f/1.8 would have done the job IMHO.... and once again, the "PIXEL SIZE" is very small. this camera is gonna work great in daylight and will die in misery when the sun goes down..... rest of d specs look great.

AnonD-308020

By SONY: Sony Announces a New Type 1/2.6 22.5 Megapixel Exmor RS™, the Industry's First*1 Stacked CMOS Image Sensor with Built-in Hybrid Autofocus and 3-Axis Electronic Image Stabilization. SONY IMX318: Main Features 1. The industry's smallest unit pixel size at 1.0μm, achieving compact size (type 1/2.6) while realizing 22.5 effective megapixels high resolution As smartphones grow ever thinner, so too are image sensors growing increasingly more compact. In line with this trend, Sony has developed a miniscule 1.0μm pixel sensor that, despite its small size, realizes high image quality. To accomplish this, Sony employed manufacturing technology that improves light utilization efficiency, as well as circuit design technology that eliminates noise, a root cause of deterioration in image quality. With this innovation, Sony has realized an image sensor that delivers high quality images, while also boasting small optical size and a high resolution of 22.5 megapixels. Night shots have long been a weak point for the compact cameras used in smartphones, with the lack of light translating into excessive visual noise. The IMX318 addresses this weakness and realizes beautiful photography in nighttime conditions. 2. The industry's first*1 image sensor with built-in hybrid AF, as fast as 0.03 seconds*2, and 3-axis electronic image stabilization Hybrid AF Hybrid AF, which merges image plane phase detection AF with contrast detection AF, has previously been realized through the combination of an image sensor and an application processor. But with the IMX318, Sony has created the industry's first*1 stacked CMOS image sensor with hybrid AF built into the sensor's internal signal processor. The IMX318 leverages Sony's high-speed AF technology that has been honed over many years, boasting an AF as fast as 0.03 seconds*2 (and as fast as 0.017 seconds when shooting video at 60fps). With this power in hand, the user can capture those decisive moments reliably in focus, whether shooting stills or video. 3-axis electronic image stabilization for video With the IMX318, Sony has also created the industry's first*1 stacked CMOS image sensor with image stabilization functionality built into its internal signal processor. This sensor leverages the image stabilization technology that Sony has cultivated over its years developing cameras, realizing smooth 4K*3 videos with little camera shake by making effectively use of the signal output obtained from the external 3-axis (pitch, yaw, and roll) gyro sensor*4. Sony's unique image stabilization technology incorporated into the IMX318 corrects not only camera shake, but also lens distortion, making for more beautiful videos. Furthermore, because image stabilization is achieved by processing within the hardware of the image sensor, less power is used than when it is accomplished by software processing in the external application processor. Since it enables smooth video shooting, this image sensor is suited for incorporation into not only smartphones, but also a variety of other products that tend to generate substantial camera shake, such as aerial drones used for image capture. 3. 4K and high frame rate video recording, through high-speed communications leveraging the latest MIPI specifications Sony elected to adopt the MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) Alliance's latest C-PHY 1.0/D-PHY 1.2 specifications for this image sensor's interface. With this interface, the IMX318 is able to achieve more power efficient and faster data transmission from the image sensor to the application processor. As a result, even at the high resolution of 22.5 megapixels, transmission is realized for all pixels at 30fps. This enables seamless switching between high resolution video and still image photography, realizing the best of both worlds. Since the image sensor can transmit greater-than-4K resolution images for all pixels to the application processor, the user can capture 22.5 megapixel still images even while in the middle of recording video in 4K*3 at 30fps.

AnonD-308020

What do you mean small pixel? men, 23MP rear camera shooter, with 4 axis OIS, Zenfone 3 Deluxe is powered by the latest IMX318 image sensor hat will be use also on the coming Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The pixel size? 1 µm pixel size is not the MP count. Pixel Size Sensor size is useful for getting an idea of how much space in the smartphone camera module is consumed by the sensor, but less useful for gauging total light collection as megapixel counts vary between smartphones. This is where pixel size comes in, giving a direct measure of how large the individual photodetectors are in the CMOS sensor. for you to understand read this article: For your reference. :)

Problem is the size... 5.7" is too big, won't fit in pocket, and also 3000mAh battery will drain real fast. Rather than slimmer side design with thick center, I wonder why doesn't they just make it flat and fill the room with bigger battery...?! 7.5mm thickness is still absolutely fine and 40 grams weight increase for another 3000mAh battery won't make any different.

whats going on with its camera....???? the pixel size is ridiculously small, whats the use of 23 mp sensor then???? even galaxy s4 which is more den 3 years old had bigger pixels than this..... the camera is going to be terrible. rest looks very good. they should also do somethng abt that black bezel, its ugly.

Now i just wish Asus would give some sort of software gurantee on their phones like "all phones will be upgraded to 2 following versions of android at least, once the hardware can run it smoothly" if not, make a bootloader unlocker so people can load their own OS, CyanogenOS, etc.

It's actually from 200 ppi to 800 ppi :) My 3000s mAh phones survive a day or more in moderate use, and hit 8 ~ 12 hours screen time on. I think it's all about the battery management software? But extra capacity is no bad either. As long as you don't mind the additional weight to your phone.

Not really. More cores is for Multitasking. Besides almost no apps can utilize eight cores at once they only use four. And look at S7 and LG G5. Its using snapdragon 820 too. Its currently one or even the fastest processors today.

Anonymous

Yes, it is 2 dual core, but it just use 2 core at one time. But it is one of the most powerful processor available for this moment, with the most powerful graphic chip. It beats out all previous years Octa core and Quad core processor, only loose to Samsung's own Octa core processor, but the processor is so powerful that you barely notice any different between the performance. I would say, Snapdragon processor adaption rate is much larger than Samsung processor. So, apps designer also more focus and favor to Snapdragon processor for creating more Snapdragon compatible apps. (Actually all the apps in the Google Playstore download different apps to different processor family, such as Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Exynos, Mediatek MTK, Nvidia Tegra, Intel Atom)

Anonymous

How about 10,000 mah battery? Most of the time there is a design limit to fit in big capacity battery into a thin phone. And big battery capacity also doesn't always means better battery life, overall phone hardware and software also need to be configured to the most optimize state to save battery. For me, if a phone can last for a full day of heavy usages, then already can be considered very good, regardless of battery capacity.

Anonymous

Quite contrary, I just wait for Xiaomi to come out the phone with OIS, because Xiaomi phone is much more affordable than Nexus phone, which offer feature that almost reach Nexus level, which just 1/3 or 1/2 of Nexus price. Nexus phone is overhyped and expensive. Even Samsung's and LG phone's are more valuable and more worth than Nexus, which always offer much better feature than the slow catch up Nexus with the same price tag.

Anonymous

More core doesn't means better and faster, they can be much slower (those low end Mediatek chip), then with lousy graphic chip configuration. Octa core processor also doesn't operate all 8 cores at the same time, they are made up of 2 quad core processor, that using only 4 core at one time. (Mediatek processor is true 8 core, but the speed efficiency is not there, maybe just 4 core are utilized) This Snapdragon 2 dual core processor beats the quad core and octa core processor.

I don't get it: to make a removable backplate and glue the bloody battery to the motherboard. Why? To force people to replace their phone after 1-2 years of active use? Realistically, these batteries hold only 80% percent of charge after 1.5 year and ~70% after 2 (or even less), which combining 3000mAh original capacity after 2 years will run your phone dead in just a few hours of browsing. If it cant be easily replaced I'm not f* buying it.
