Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL - User Reviews

  • is this phone support 4g?

  • Hi Good day. I used this phone almost a year ago, the only problem was the speaker actually it was damaged. Is there anybody who can help me. Thanks

  • i love this phone i have been using for 2 years now it will take me long to decide on a new phone cuz i love this phone

  • I have been using this phone for almost 2 years. upgraded from Marshmallow to Oreo. got ZenUI5. used it for online and offline games, social media, SMS and calls. got NO problem. works perfectly great, except for the battery which has been very much overused for gaming. generally, still doing a great job. ;)

  • Already using it almost 2 years for casual use (no gaming), battery is still good, no critical problem so far. Updated from Marshmallow(6) to Oreo(8) with new ZenUI 5. There is a problem with twin apps after updating to Oreo, but it was already fixed. Still a decent mid range smartphone for me in 2019 for casual use.

  • my sister 's zenfone 3 max also like that.. when bring it to service center they say that motehrboard/cpu collaps.. and must change. so after that can be use again

  • The Asus Zenfone 3 Max my wife owned got stuck in a boot loop, starting with Powered by Android then the ASUS logo, vibrating and then it goes like that again, and again. But when connected visa charger to an outlet, it runs normally. What can be done to address the boot looting when it is not connected to a charger? She had used it for almost 2 years.

  • When I connect headset via Bluetooth the Qualcomm aptxui crasch and I have to press "Return" to get rid of the message box. It happens with my Oticon Streamer Pro as well as with my Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II headphones.

  • Can't read SD card no matter how I format it. Formatting using phone don't work either. Camera sucks.

  • boss jhon is that you

  • same issue boss

  • Does jio sim work on VOLTE in this phone ? Meaning without using JIO voice app can i make calls ?

  • My mbl is volte mood is available but not working how to solve

  • Sideloaded the 8.1 firmware from ASUS' page and installed it on my phone. So far so good, no issues yet.

  • this phone have usb mhl?

  • i bought this phone for almost a year already, im concerned more on its battery longevity, at first the battery last long, but now the battery easily getting low, whenever i finished charging, e.g 100%. then after i use WhatsApp, in 5mins or so it drops to 82% ! i was shocked and i didnt like it, the battery is 4100 mAh tho but idk why its being like this, maybe i used to overcharged my phone i guess. other features were fine, i have no complain on other features. i thought about buying new phone when this happens to me lol

  • I have this device for more than a year but there is no problem even playing high graphics game like Mortal Kombat X & 2K18, price of this device is worth it...

  • I have been playing ml for 5 months on my asus znfn 3 max without any lag....even i play pubg on it....it lags only a little...this phone is quite good..

  • I bought this phone & my son bought a ZC520TL. BOTH phones malfunctioned 2 months past the 12 month warranty. Both phones useless only 14 months old & we had to buy new ones. Asus make good motherboards & laptops but very crappy phones. My advice: DON'T BUY ZENFONE! There are better phones cheaper if you research & shop around.

  • I have this phone for almost 9 months and its call features are good. Aps run well without lags but the most concerning issue to me is the camera... the images are too bad during the day or in the night.. plenty of grains in the pictures and most of all are really bad... apart from the camera the phone behaves normal.

  • y it always hv thing to update while i odi update jz for a few days. kind off annoys me bout this situation. the update always requires at least 300mb..how to make it stop n wont appear on status bar.nut if not update the os wont let me download anything at all..how annoying the system works..plis help

  • Good phone but the problem is lagging in games I can't even play Mobile legend Suggestions needed

  • take a long time to charge. most harmless phone if purchased . Take 4-5 hours for full charge. Stupid phone

  • Now I'm using ASUS ZenFone3 max zc553kl, but Camera not working properly.quality of pictures too worst

  • Just one week ago I brought asen zenfone max 3, from today my touch screen & finger lock not working

  • I encountered the same problem when i took the phone to service centre they told me the display isn't working so i have to get it replaced the phone is on service station since last 5 days and still not repaired..

  • very nice

  • the best phone for durability i had i used this phone almost 1.5 years n the battery still got almost 36 hrs lifetime

  • Dies it lag big time while playing rulesnof survival? Planing to get this fone for playing Ros.. Thanks.

  • Why Bad?

  • i'm not sure about quanlity of camera phone. It's not clear, the mirro of camera easily get scratch and the Glass of screen also is not gorrila glass. I had change 2 glasses

  • Image quality (camera) is quite good, although the image quality for indoor/low light shoots is noticeably grainy but resulting image is still quite decent. Screen gets washed out in harsh/bright sunlight. Zero lags on video playback. Quite decent for gaming but it will considerably drain the battery. Audio playback quality is quite nice as well.

  • camera is really good, just bad with yeloow light indoors because it makes the faces yellow. battery after one year of hard use it's dropping dawn, but it's normal.

  • I took the phone as mine from my mom... While she was using it, it had a good battery back up.. But now its worse..... Its the only problem I find all other is perfect

  • Mine doesn't have gorilla glass screen. Didn't buy tampered glass screen protector trusting that screen is indeed durable like my previous zenfone 2 laser. I dropped it accidentally while walking and it cracked immediately. To even think that it has a shockproof case is beyond ridiculous. And also ny screen flickers badly. Don't know if it's the system or the broken screen though. Great phone before the screen broke 😟

  • yeah my camera also get scratched easily

  • please fix the signal connection when i call someone i can hear him/her clearly but they cannot hear me clearly

  • Hi. I'm a zenfone 3 max 5.5 user also. How did you upgrade your phone to nougat 7.1.1? Mine's still 6.0.1. I can't update it. I had this phone for 6days already. I have already updated the software twice but it's still 6.0.1.

  • This is one of the baddest phones that I ever had! Like every manufacturer this phone comes with customer version of Android, called ZenCare, ZenFone or whatever, that has nothing to do with Zen and its philosophy. It`s lagging - lagging big time. The display rarely recognized finger touching and it is pain in the ___ typing messages. The most disappointing thing about this "phone" is that updates are mandatory! Whatever you are doing - you are obliged to update and that`s it! Like a copy of iPhone (meaning here design) I did expect more.

  • Yes you're true, for me i have also the 3 max and it's good. No comment.

  • My Max 3 has 3GB of RAM not 4. Probably, model depends on which country (Philippines) it was released. I'm using Max 3 for 10 months now and I would say that it is good phone. I am really impressed on its battery capacity. I categorized myself as a heavy phone user, constantly checking my phone and browsing multiple social media sites. Also, plays a couple of games (Mobile Legends & Rules of Survival). The battery is 4100 mAh so I only need to charge my phone once a day and it takes me a couple of hours and a half. I recommend Max 3 if you are in a budget. I got mine for Php 9,995 (around $200). Don't expect too much on this phone though. You get what you pay for.

  • Use camera glass cover because the camera glass easy to scratch...close with cover the fingerprint sensor because when you hand wetting touch the sensor its may affect..fingerprint sensor not function it will effect your screen function also...if your phone warranty 2 years..its no problem

  • be honestly..its my best phone 4100mph battery its very worth for android os..i dropped many times just issues with screen guard only nothing with display.very cheap and best mobile ever...with every functions..my best recommend to buy this

  • Bad phone

  • I have this phone for over a month now i dropped it for a couple of times 1 with screen flat but good thing it has gorilla glass if not it's probably cracked by now and i see alot of you complaining about the screen flickering i haven't had that issue and my battery doesn't drain quick and after a few updates my phone is a bit laggy i don't know if it is because i have tons of apps on my phone. But overall phone is great and the camera

  • Im thinking of buying asus zenfone max5.5 but im afraid it would happen d same issue. . .

  • Mines still flickering, flashing, sometimes it becomes white or completely black. Goodbye asus.

  • It happened to me, I had it checked so they replaced the entire screen free of charge because of the warranty. Unfortunately, it flickered again once... -_-

  • Seriously, i have to state this once again. I fixed the touchscreen sensor problem and now the same problem OCCURED again. Idk why but looks like the build quality of this phone seems poor. You have to be extra careful (not dropping it somewhere) in order to maintain its stability. But for the previous generations of asus, there wasn't any problems like this. Goodbye asus, this is my last smartphone that i bought from you.

  • Same problem here. .after update soo many bugs. . My phone start to screen flickering

  • Hi, what do you mean?

  • Actually a beast of a phone, but the quality just absolute rubbish

  • i have been using this unit for almost 6month though I encountered some minor software problems yet asus are very responsive and responsible for giving us those updates that fixes those minor software problems good job ASUS.. #Zenfone3Max5.5 #7.1.1

  • wtf asus company! i got my asus almost 1month ago but after i update itto nougat wtfffff! my battery is draining very quikly and the fingerprint scanner are not working . pease do something to fix this sh*t !!!!

  • I've had mine for 9 months & it works perfectly: seems an excellent phone & I love it. My son & I have Asus laptops & I have an Asus graphics card in my desktop. I have often used their motherboards & other components when I build desktops for people & never had any problems so no complaints here.

  • wtf!!! my asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 draining battery so quickly! asus company are doing solution to fix this? . wtf!!! im wasting my money i buy my mobile 3weeks ago!

  • I got the same issue with my zenfone. i thought it was a glitch since it functioned again after i did the updates. after a few days almost 1/3 of the phone screen (from the home, back and recent apps) is not functioning at all. i got it repaired in the service center and the tech guy told me that the screen needs to be replaced. i think its much better to have your phone checked also.

  • got the same issue :(

  • I used this phone for 5 months and suddenly a problem appeared. The home, back and recent apps key didn't responding. Is there anybody who experienced the same problem like me? Right now i'm using soft key apps to fix this problem,but it's still just make sad :/

  • Even i faced the same problem screen flickering . i went to the service center they replaced the phone display completely for free because of warranty

  • Do not update as battery is getting drained quickly

  • Yes it is true, battery getting drained very quickly after update

  • Previously i used a Zenfone 6, after 3 years it fell in the river so i replaced with Zenfone 3 Max. I still have this phone almost year now. Updated to latest Nougat and having no problem at all. Minor issues lile batt slightyly more use (ofcourse Nougat uses more power..duuh..) and Sim card area can be loose at random times. Fixed my zenfone 6 just transistor problem. 2 phones now So far Asus products are awesome.

  • price of this phone in the Philippines varies on each store. If you're lucky enough, you should be able to buy it around 7000 to 8900 PhP. camera wise it is clear (16MP) and battery life is long lasting indeed.

  • how much the price of this asus zenfone 3 max zc553kl in the philippines?? is this nice phone? is bat long last?? how about the cam?? please post your replies thank you :)

  • Dissapointed maybe because you can't have it. I'm using this phone for almost 6 months & also updated to nougat 7.1.1 no problem at all.

  • Not the best phone! Be warned that it has a lot of bugs. I am so disappointed at ASUS.

  • My phone is flickering Idk why T.T ... Its flickers like suddenly repeatedly then goes away then flickers again in some other time like its very unpredictable

  • On Asus forum, may who had updated their phones to the latest version found that their battery draining away very quickly.

  • Calling all who still has the marshmallow(and the nougat users as well) as their android version. Is there any issues? Im trying to avoid getting issues by not updating the android version. Is having the marshmallow version same on using the nougat in terms of issues?

  • I have the same problem, I found a temporary fix. Try enabling airplane mode and revert back

  • Flickering problem after 5 months

  • Dont root your phone it attracts vriuses

  • I like this phone so much, battery life is very good. Updated to nougat 7.1.1 no issues at all. Good for daily driver

  • Youre right

  • this phone having a good spec

  • I finally solved the problem. I factory reset the phone. Working well now.

  • Hi sir/ma'am can you help me with my problem? After a few weeks I updated my system there is a thing happening in my phone there is a white thing coming out at the top of the screen it's like glitching and sometimes the screen blackouts, what should I do? Please help me. TIA

  • Does the phone have notification led ?

  • When I installed the latest software update the battery drained faster.

  • Yes, there is already a method to root this device:

  • is this phone can be rooted ? what are the procedures and the links ? please help me ,I want my phone to be rooted

  • Yee sir..i doit that..and then the problem solve

  • I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm located in the Philippines and I'm having the same issue as yours. I googled to find assistance and it says that I need to factory reset my phone.

  • Been having some problem with this phone. Not able to send a text when I get 4G signal. But when I am on H+ signal, I could send text. I am using this phone in USA with AT&T. I tried to restart the phone, deactivated the sim card, etc. Not working. Any suggestion? Thanks

  • Me too 😭

  • Guys do not instal latest software phone will restart when u get a call. Check their forum they have acknowledged the issue.

  • For me I haven't experienced any bugs or issues with the battery life. Great phone for a great price and spec compared to Galaxy J7. The screens pretty though because I dropped it from 5 ft without my case and still works like a charm. Not forgetting the quick warranty service. The only problem is when you try to do heavy multi-tasking or gaming it heats up like an oven, but you could just put on a thick casing or skin on the phone tho.

  • i experienced it too. it has warranty, the service center of asus fixed it for free.

  • mine too. i experienced it lately after updating it to nougat. tskl. I just restart my phone.

  • It's true. Mine doesn't work with selfie stick as well.

  • mine is doing the same thing also . is your phone fixed now? cause I was planning to downgrade my zen3max, maybe it should fix the problem?

  • Dnt update ,its just a waste of time. I update it from latest version BT thepblm occur this time also

  • m using ZenFone max3 last 6 month,feeling good the overall performance, nice camera function, good battery life, speed, user-friendly ....it's a nice phone.

  • same problem with mine😭

  • Don't update this effing phone to Android 7 because clearly there are a lot of bugs that needs fixing and it looks like Asus has no plans to release a fix.

  • In your dreams! Asus never fix anything. They just want you to spend even more money on their latest rubbish.

  • Nope, you wasted your money on this phone.

  • My ASUS max touch screen is not working and the replacement parts was expensive for a 9k phone. must have warranty for this for the screen

  • Hi, does the camera frame rate drops when recording at night and the or the video is not choppy at all?

  • Mine is 10 k less 5 huhu two months ago! Now it has flickering and heating problem.

  • I also got flickering problem when used for a longer time and become hot. I also have updated it to naugat.

  • Same with mine. I hope they recall them, or fix them or replace with phone in the same price when the phones were bought by the owner.

  • Mine also got flickering problem when it get hot from using, sometimes it's ok, i also updated it to naugat. What is best to do?

  • Is it still stable while your ASUS Zenfone 3 MAX is running Android 7.1.1 Nougat??? I'm planning to buy a new one. Thank you.

  • Liar, that not true. I been using this phone with my wireless and wired monopod/selfie stick. It's worked like other phones. Maybe your phone was fake china phone or clone or you does not own this phone. From Zenfone 3 Max and Zenfone 4 Max user.

  • Useless model for taking selfies using a monopod/selfie stick. Any kind of selfie stick won't work with this model, regardless if you use the phone's internal camera app or any other camera app.

  • Mine before was 9,950...it think it's less 100 pesos now (9,8XX.00)

  • Try turning the power off (not restart). Then go to setting > more > Cel Net > Net Operator > tap Choose automatically. Select your operator. It will then register. Hope this helps.

  • Anyone knows how much is the price for this phone in Philippines?. I'm planning to buy this one as a gift for my sister..

  • I'm thinking buy this phone. It's a good idea ??? I've seen some problems about software. I'm between Moto G5 and Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL, BUT, if i buy MOTO G5, i won't have this wonderful Zenfone battery. What should i choose ???

  • yeah i totally approve it, they really need to fix all the bugs , I've update my cellphone last week, instant update! But after the update i cant sent a message if i turned on the data and also i cant receive a message , then if i turned off the data I need to turned off my cellphone first, please resolve this early

  • Nokia phones are currently free from bloatware, running stock Android. Asus has a heavily customisable UI and this phone and Nokia use the same SoC, but Zen3Max has a bigger battery capacity. Your choice, stock android experience or big battery life. Although, Id go with the regular zenfone 5.5 or the Zenfone 4 max instead.

  • Reset your phone. Problem will be solved.

  • Zenfone max 3 or Nokia 5?

  • updated to nougat no problems so far

  • Please fix...i upgraded my phone into nougat and have some issues..my messenger freezes whenever i send messages..my fb app suddenly stops whenever i open it..and games on my phone cannot be opened anymore since the update..please fix!

And so i got the phone after one week and work smoothley, and i updated to nougot because the app is always seen as ads in the phone. But when i reset the phone lots of problem affected this phone, and i would like it back to marsmalow and what should i do to bring back the normal system?

  • try not to auto the brightness

  • Hi. I just had my phone sent to asus center 2 weeks ago. I was able to get it last monday. The touch screen is working fine now..however, i noticed another problem. My phone charges up to 8 hours. Right now, my phone has been chargong for 4 hours and 30 minutes, yet my battery is only 45% charged. Please help. I am starting to get frustrated with my phone :(

  • Never upgrade to Nougat (Android 7). Nougat is not yet stable. Just system update it for some improvements for Android 6 (Marshmallow) And never disable any apps (if you think its a useless app) or else you're gonna stuck at bootloop when you restart your phone. (it can be fix with hard reset: Power + Volume Down Button) so far so good and no issues! I recommend this phone to everyone! :)

  • it is 3gb ram

  • is 3gb ram or 4gb ram ?

  • is it ok now to update to nougat? or still same bugs happen?

  • How can i know that iys reliable? I want to buy this week? Some suggestion pleaze

  • Bought this phone last May and I started experiencing flickering screen on July 30, 2017. I don't know where exactly the problem is but I think it's only in the software. I'm going to try a hard reset and check if still the problem persists. If not only for the flickering screen problem, I would definitely recommend this phone!

  • Im download smule.when i record my voice all headset and earphone not suitable.record voice..sometime my voice can hear sometime not.pls help me.im uninstall apps.restart hp.made factory.clear data.all done.how to fix it

  • its really great phone and smooth and amazing battery backup and camera overall i feel unique to have it .

  • hey guys, got mine. its 3 months old now. I don't see any problem on it.. even if I updated it into Nougat this not cause any problems on mine .. :) happy user here.. Thanks. just want to share mine.

  • Just got my zenfone max 3 5.5 for like 3 weeks and its one of the worst phone ever.. Week 1 - I notice time to time a crack underneath the phone is getting bigger near the screw Week 2- The touchscreen is unresponsive & sometimes its laggy .. ( facebook and just playing mobile legend ) Week 3 - the touchscreen is no longer working as well as the finger print sensor I am not recommending this phone, overprice this is my last asus phone , so worst

  • Just got mine, I'm okay with overall aspect of this phone, one thing that doesn't impress me is the camera, in low light it's SO grainy (I used mi4i before, the camera is grainy too in low light but it's still tolerable) also one thing that I notice is the brightness sensor keeps changing when I use it indoor, but overall it's value for money

  • This is awesome phone. i use for daily activity and very usefull

  • Guys, you should NEVER be eager to update to the latest operating system. If we have learned anything, from DOS 4.0, Windows Vista, Windows 8, the security intrusions of Win10, certain flavors of Linux not fully tested and released... AND... the slowdown, larger memory footprint of the new OS... AND worst of all, the fact that your device did not go through a years of co-development between firmware and OS to debug it all. UNLESS you can name _one_ single feature that is absolutely critical to your life, that you _must_ have, from the new OS, that the older one did not have, you have many reasons to _not_ "upgrade" to a new OS. In fact, I am willing to bet, that 99% of you so eager to upgrade, did not even research everything that changes from one version to another. I bet that you think it'll make your phone better and faster, no research required! lol Well, as said above, it'll just hog more memory and resources, and unless your phone is severely broken with the original OS, you'll just make things worse. When you think of it, it is the worst thing you can do. So, before you mess up (ie: "upgrade" the OS), think twice - and think hard if you really need to. It's not the phone that sucks: it's your decision to install the new OS!

  • If you want buy this fon..dont upgrade to nougat.. This fon camera is awesome..i very like it..

  • is it the battery duration last long time? cause i just got my asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 and the battery life will stand only for around 10hours with data on. is it normal?

  • Same issue here. What i did is I went to the nearest service center as advice by asus agent. I ask what they did to my phone. They downgrade from nougat to marshmallow then replace some parts. It takes 1 week before i got my phone. Dont upgrade to nougat until its bug free. Nougat is not yet stable. If your phone is under waranty then you dont have to worry. The service and replaced parts is free. No charge.

  • Zf3 max sucks.. It flickered after nougat upgrade. Service centers are very unreliable

  • Just updated my ZFONE3 MAX to nougat and got some major issues, 1. Keyboard doesn't work like the previous version, you need to wait for it to work but sometimes it doesn't work at all. 2. Some games / Apps are closing / We are unable to use those apps.

  • Thanks. I've already updated mine and I noticed that my battery duration slightly became shorter. I am still monitoring major performance changes.

  • My Zen 3 Max continue works fine after every Android update, only necessary shuting down and power on, because all the systems require reeboting to ending the update.

  • Hey, does the Nougat update really have some issues? I wanted to update mine but I'm still hesitating. I need your opinions especially those who have updated their version yet.

  • Same problem

  • Ha

  • Yes, thst's true. Love this phone....

  • Have you checked your datacable? Change the USB cable not the charger.

  • hi my asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 sometimes won't charge, sometimes will charge but with different charger not its own asus charger. then i thought it was gonna be okay again. but suddenly it keeps on shutting down, opening, shutting down, opening again, repeatedly until i don't know how long. but the time i try to drain it because i read about the callibrating when you drain your battery was really the frustrating one because the battery will appear but with 39% as it shows (note that the battery is drained) then it'll shut down again and 39% again will appear, repeatedly as if it wasn't really charging. now it is charging but i doubt it will charge again, i have to keep it shut down for days then it will charge again. then it will shutdown again. please help. i can't return it to the philippines even though it still has its warranty and it was just 4months old when it got broken last month.

  • I bought my ZenFone 3 max ZC553kl and updated it 3 weeks ago to Nougat Issues: 1) Speaker and Mic are a little bit rudimentary when used on whatsapp / Skype. Especially Mic 2) upgrade to Nougat 7.0 software (but this existed in Kitkat also) which forces the apps to sleep too often. But that's just a setting. I fixed it For the rest. happy camper here. quick, reliable, solid long life battery. And I only paid $200 new out of the box (they make them here around the corner..)

  • Redmi 4a cheap and Best

  • Does jio sim card work?

  • What you expect of Asus Quality?

  • just reformat your phone after the nougat update

  • this phone has battery issue less than a month dead battery

  • bought this but the camera optimization like sharpness saturation contrast backlight is gone. asus zenfone max has it, what to do? zenfone max 3 has none.

  • im using Zenfone 3 5.2 and Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 no problems for both, battery is very good, everything is very good. super phones to have!

  • Hi, I bought ASUS zfm3 zc553kl 6 days ago, and I got problems with a tempered glass and case for my ZenFone. But everything does ok. I hope for a long time😂

  • I just bought this fon 10 days ago.. After 3 days using it, fb apps can no longer used.. It said problem with Internet connection.. I tried to login using WiFi, hot spot, mobile data.. Same thing happened.. I can't login into the apps.. I contact the Asus support.. ... After following their instruction and everything, the issues is still not solve.. At last, They told me to solve this issues with fb support.. WTF! if any body who has the same problem or maybe has the solution for my problem, plss do help me.. I used fb for my work.. Hard to get any notification using login thru Google Chrome, opera

  • I've done factory and network resets, but nothing's changed. I mean is there any other way. I want to use the warranty as the last resort, if possible.

  • No i did not set the brightness to auto. The thing is it just blinks and flickers whenever.

  • Did you set your brightness settings to auto?

  • I got mine last July 10 and today's 12. At first I was okay and in awe about it but I'm starting to get disappointed because the screen's blinking and flickering from time to time. I don't know what happened but what I did was just install some apps I find helpful in my studies. I did update my phone though, but I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem (I've read some reviews about asus updates so I feel like it does). Help please.

  • Please give me your opinion. Which phone should i buy? 1. Samsung Galaxy J7 2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 3. Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL? Which one is better in term of their camera and others? Or any suggestions? All of these phone, budget is not more than RM900.

  • Can nougat update fix issue on the system reserve memory and signal issue? Reason is because i've noticed that my phone start to restart on its own since system reserve is full and since i got it facebook, messenger and instagram always do auto update even though on google play i set it as do not auto update since i got it 5 mons ago, same also for the network signal always having no signal or signal unavailable. Im kinda bit pissed already since i only doing this one for light using for surfing, music and call and text. Im into android since 2011 but im starting to lose hope since almost after 6 mons to a year android phones always requires me to buy new one. Im definately considering to ship to apple products.

  • I brought asus ZenFone 3 max ZC553kl last week but why every time I use easily getting hot

  • please zf3 or j7prime?

  • this phone is not for gaming...but battery life extraordinary...i am watching video & surfing continuously more than 6 hours during my day travel....so except gaming everything thing is so good..

  • I updated my OS to nougat yesterday as the system suggested. Right now, I am having an issue with the touch screen. As I playing mobile legend, the screen got freeze. I click the lock button and when I unlocked it, the fingerprint is not working, also, the touch screen is not working too. What should I do?

  • I am using this phone for almost 6 months. No issues yet good in all sense only problem is to adjust with Asus user interface. Hope they will improve it.

  • Nope.. The battery is normal.. Its just 39-42 celcius. Sorry my english is very bad

  • So basically you're using a phone for a whole day without using any battery power? Yeah right tell that to the Guinness Book of Records 😕

  • i think the issue regarding screw cracks is because of the defective battery, swollen or ballooned.

  • since i updated my phone yesterday, all the application is not working fine. it keeps on stopping . anyone here knows how to fix it ?

  • since i updated my phone yesterday, all the application is not working fine. it keeps on stopping . anyone here knows how to fix it ?

  • Very good phone, everything runs smoothly. Great deal!

  • yes. i have it also,its on screw part. and i wonder also why.. :(

  • Good nice devices Now i get Android nougat verry smooth super amazing battery save..but very long to charging 10% to 100% 3hours.. Android M verry fast charing 1hour 40min full but drain so fast.. Lol

  • Nougat 7.1.1 upfate about a week ago, so far everything is fine and running. Very good phone.

  • how about charge,,,,,

  • is there anyone here experienced the crack issue on the phone on the bottom part of the phone..mine its getting worst now

  • I have actually been using this phone for two months now and I have seen how the Nougat update diminished the battery performance but it's quite alright now. A new problem rose up after the recent firmware update. I hope it normalizes after a few days like the Nougat update. It's a very capable phone and I love it.

  • I got my zenfone3 max 5.5 last 3 weeks ago. Regarding the battery I usually charge my phone in the morning. For 2 half hours. 100% at 12:30 in the afternoon and I let it standby for 3hrs with the wifi On. After 3hrs still 100% batt. Then i used it for 1 hour of texting. Facebook. Surfing. And a number of calls. After an hour.. Still 100% batt. I'm still running my phone 6.0.1 marshmallow. The last update of the mallows. So far I really love this zenfone 3 max 5.5 ....PEACE OUT.

  • I think this better one than Zenfone 3s Max in terms of their specs if you compare

  • Im using the same phone but i works the opposite. Battery is exceptional. I have it charge yesterday afternoon and up unyil now phone still has about 14%left. Fb almost all day and night and plays games on it every now and then. 24 hrs wifi is on.

  • Im using the same phone but i works the opposite. Battery is exceptional. I have it charge yesterday afternoon and up unyil now phone still has about 14%left. Fb almost all day and night and plays games on it every now and then. 24 hrs wifi is on.

  • This phone good for gaming or not?? Overheat fast or not? Some one tell me

  • really?

  • is it really good or no? I am planning to buy this phone but after reading and watching some review it gives me a second thought so what should I do? I am an Apple user since 2013 and I don't know much about Android phones so I'm still catching up.

  • Yes, the Sand Gold, Rose Gold, Glacier Silver are all white on front. The Grey is the only one that is black upfront.

  • That issue was fixed already, no one was hating on the phone. The phone was getting used to handling the nougat firmware. After a few days battery drain was back to normal.

  • People said that the battery drains fast after the Nougat Update, and I saw someone post on other site that the battery still drains fast even if on standby mode 100% to 80% in two hours. Those who post it is just hatin this phone, FULL OF LIES. I tried to standby my phone in two hours after fully charge it then what is the result? 100% to 99% with wifi on, yea it is true that the phone became laggy after the update but the battery problems? nah there's no problem on it.

  • yes, do not update. i repeat, do not update. battery drains fast and bugs will crawl to your unit system. 8cores will become laggy. your choice

  • bought mine last May, then after installing to the latest update, battery drain faster from 100 to 50%. Searching for some tweak, google told me to factory reset, but still the same battery problem, but wait there's more! become laggy and some apps not working. goodluck to anyone who's buying this bug cp.

  • I got my asus zenfone 3 max 5.5. I never had a problem in runing my apps and everything. However my battery is draining more faster than the previous phone that i have. I'ma little bit disappointed about this knowing the fact that zenfone 3 max has 4100mah of battery but it doesnt last more than half a day even if I'm only using Facebook and messenger

  • Is the one with sand gold color gold at the back and in front? I've seen pictures of the phone with white front and gold back.

  • is it has, smart flip cover?

  • Yes ..Got a Max model 2 years back ...never had any problems ..and got a 5.5'' , 3 Max too ...love the feel of the phone set ..

  • So i just got a zenfone 3 max and i can't seem to get a single game to run on it, is it a problem with the zenfone UI or something weirder? everything i try to open says my device isn't compatable with what ever i'm trying to open... any ideas as to why or what i can do to reset it?

  • Where are you from dude? I'm gonna get mine fixed on saturday, so I gotta know how long it took yours to get fixed up.

  • i got the same issue man, check if it's still under warranty, replacement of lcd is necessary to fixed mine, good thing that i dont have to pay a dime for it.

  • if youre after a good battery life and in to mobile gaming, this is the best phone for you, camera is not that comparable to other samsung or sony phones though,

  • How to enable system ui tuner in this phone?

  • what i like asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 is the body .. fully.metal..

  • Is there still a bug at Nougat 7.1.1 update?

  • Great Display Tuch And Display Pannel Very Well My Advise Zenfon 3 Max Best Samsung A5 ,a7 , Series

  • I Want Parchase This Phone Asus Great Mobiles

  • Yes you should buy,, its good

  • bought this phone yesterday. great phone. no regrets

  • should I buy this phone? im from cebu, philippines

  • Its still a good phone, although, the batch of units I got mine from seems to be a bit deffective, but before the screen flickering occured the phone is excellent! I would advice you to wait out the Zenfone 4 series in which the 4 version of this phone is guaranteed to have better specs. Check sites for when they'll announce the zenfone 4 series.

  • I am planning to buy this phone, please help me decide :( i've red a lot of negative comments.. i am feel frustrated with this phone!

  • I also experienced the same exact issue, I bought mine in May. Seems like its a problem with the batch of units from March to May. I also contacted ASUS as I'm currently typing and they also got the me through the troubleshooting. Although, my handler was kind enough to say they can fix my phone if I bring it to their nearest service station. I'm from the Philippines if you're wondering.

  • I also experienced the same issue. Can you please tell me what happened after?

  • I just bought mine last March 2017. All's well for the 1st 2 months. Then, a few weeks ago the screen just started flickering, especially when you're using it for a long time. I emailed ASUS and they have given me several steps on how to troubleshoot the problem but still to no avail. Last step was to reset & restore to factory settings, haven't done it yet because I still need to backup some files. If not for this issue I would say this phone is really great.

  • Don't Buy haha

  • No. At first its good but few months it will be defective. Mine had unresponsive screen

  • I bought zenfone max zc553kl... pleasehelp me....this mobile are good or bad....

  • Yes! you should buy zenfone 3 max its worth it!! I just bought one 2 weeks ago and i would say that its worth it!!

  • you should buy Zenfone 3 max its worth it

  • I'am from san jose del monte bulacan, philippines. i need your comments and recommendations... SHOULD I BUY ASUS ZENFONE 3 MAX 5.5????????

  • You would have to try to change the network settings from 4G to 2G to receive calls. this would only be a trial basis. we would have to also look at hindrance's in your location.

  • Asus please give this phone an update on its nougat cause there 's so many bugs

  • same to my phone it 6 months old same problem i encounter with asus mine is in the service center due to update to noguat touch and back bottom not functioning hays i hope they will replace it

  • I bought Asus Zenfone 3 max 5.5" in Philippines because it's good in paper and affordable so I tried it. Unfortunately, it has very poor signal and sometimes can't receive calls and send SMS. Smart network is strong in my location and I transferred the sim card to my Samsung Win and it is full bar and no network issue so it is definitely a phone issue. I also experience that the network signal will shut off and need to restart the phone to restore the signal and receive sms. Sometimes the phone has full bar signal but can't receive a call and SMS. Due to this problem, I intend to replace the defective phone but the seller said to change the setting to 2G and not use the 2G, 3G, 4G option but this is not acceptable so I ask to change the unit. The replacement also can't use the 2G, 3G option and the signal is falling down but using my Samsung Win is full bar so I asked for a Full Refund. Now, I am waiting for my refund since the seller said they will send the unit to ASUS and will take a week to process. My 1st experience with ASUS phone is bad and will not try again. I also will not buy again in Electroworld store due to this.

  • u can turn it off at the canera settings and gallery

  • sir it means that u have so many battery draining apps so it cant charge really fast mine can charge really fast because i have fewer apps

  • The only issue I have with the phone, even though I do not use video recording often, is that video capture is jerky. Whatever resolution chosen, with or without stabilization, video output is jerky.

  • This is why you stay up to date with your phone, they currently discontinued the update to nougat considering it frys and effs up your phone yet you still downloaded it.

  • Same with my phone. Asus please help us with this. PLEASE my phone just been bought last week.

  • After i've updated, the screen has been defected. What kind of phone is this

  • do i really need to update my zenfone max 5.5 to nougat? is there a problem in the system if i update my zenfone??

  • Yes, I am using a tempered glass and it's working fine, it's just that it is not fully fit on both sides I can still see the lines of the edges on screen. Since screen is slightly curvy, the top part is not fully stuck on the screen the same effect when there is air inside. But has been used to seeing it though. There might be a tempered glass that fits better than the one I bought.

  • I've used Asus Zenfone Max, Asus Zenfone 3 Max is miles better. Decent camera, average sound volume, loud enough to be heard, it has outdoor mode which will make it even louder. Graphics quality is commendable. But some are not recommending this to heavy gamers due to some speed lags but I have not checked graphics on 3D games. I am recommending this phone since I found this phone a value for money, has edge over competitors, brand name may not be top notch but credible. Been watching reviews on Youtube and I have not found any major complaints on issues. Look is elegant and battery can serve you all day, full charging may take 2hrs or more. Fingerprint has been working fine.

  • It should depend upon your specs preferences, overall performance is good in camera, sound and internet. I have not regretted buying it so far, but has been using it for a week now. No lags. Decent speed. Running on Marsmallow.

  • should i buy zenfone 3 max ????? or not ??? comments please

  • yes i brought it they will replace it with touch panel board it still under warrnty

  • After update nougat not showing flash messages like balance

  • are you serious? check the release date. buy it first before dropping a comment.

  • i think it's not the software that would cause that issue, but what you should better do is send it to its service center. if its still on its warranty, no physical damage or screen cracks there would be no cost on the repair. my Zf max 5.5 also had a screen issue last week, the middle part of the screen was malfunctioning and not responding on touch, then i send it off on its service center they replaced the screen, and i just got it yesterday no cost payment at all. hope this can be one of your possible options for your solutions ..\/,

  • They canceled the update to Nougat seeing as how it has so many bugs, don't know if they'll continue it if they resolve the issue though.

  • i update to 7.1 noagat after 2 hrs the back bottom and home bottom not functioning i try to hard reset but still all the botton do not function please help me

  • does this phone really has 4gb ram?....

  • Even I face the same problem after the update

  • i got the same problem after nougat

  • Does anyone experience screen unresponsiveness? Mine stopped working all of a sudden. If that's the case, were you able to resolve the issue? Thanks.

  • I bought zenfone 2 before,it only last 4 months..the buttons doesn't work anymore. Im scared of buying this one,the quality is not acceptable.better buying sony the quality is far more better and descent batery than this kind of phone which doesn't last a year..

  • After the 7.1.1 update I can't make volte calls . Reliance jio stopped working like it used to and only it will work if jio4gvoice is installed from play store and you are not connected to Wi-Fi network. The volte calls have to be made through app only n phones dialer is useless for making volte calls. Battery also is draining faster.

  • can anyone tell me how to take a scroll screenshot in this phone, please? btw my max3 os still using marshmallow. thank you

  • Well unfortunately, it does not have a fast charging. Usually it takes 2-3 hours of charging coming from 0 to 100%

  • Does this Asus Z3M has fast charging?

  • After Nougat system update, the battery have a slow charging issues I charged 2hrs from 16% I only got 21% battery, anyone like mine? please I need your suggestion/HELP. thanks

  • Can this phone use band 4 LTE? Is there a way to unlock the band?

  • Maybe auto-brightness? I had that problem, but it was only for the camera app (goes brighter than the actual set brightness).

  • How come you use this for 8 months when it release in November 2016? Hmmmmm......

  • It does, Contoured Corning Gorilla Glass 3 or maybe 4

  • You should choose Zenfone 3 max 5.5 because the chipset is Snapdragon :)

  • I planning to buy this phone, but I heard some crack issues. Is this issues already fixed in batch 4/2017?

  • After recieve the android 7.1.1 yesterday the problem with auto brigthness are resolved

  • I can confirm that it is possible to update to android 7.0 nougat.

  • I am overall satisfied with this phone its been almost 6 months since i am using. Battery stays for good 1.5 days for my usage. Now downloading 7.1.1 update lets see whats in store after the update. I have experienced the crack at the bottom of the phone around the screw area i had taken it to service center but they denied my claim stating its physical damage. There is no lag however very rarely you will notice a rare lag on the phone which is still way better than its competitors.

  • I have been using my Z3M 5.5 for 8 months already, had a great experience though.

  • Been using this phone in a low brightness but it sometimes become so bright then will turn low light again even if I didn't adjust the brightness. Even if im just texting. Anyone experience this too?

  • I am planning on buying this phone on my pay day, but I need your recommendation if this phone really good and I don't want to waste a single penny?

  • 1) Everything is good for its price except Video Stabilization which is faulty. in Video stabilization mode, if you take video clip of the object that is near, the video output becomes highly jerky, which is very apparent of an fault issue. It is suppose to smooth out the taking of video, but instead, the video clip becomes more jerky. I hope Asus look into this issue. 2) Macro shots is good. 3) Been using for 3 months, so far, no lag. Excellent

  • Can anyone help me decide between J7 Prime and Zenfone 3 Max 5.5.. Thanks..

  • Hi Sir/Ma'am, Are you using tempered glass on your phone? Thanks.

  • So far so good.. good camera..Good HDR.. Good LTE...Good battery life...Gaming straight with LTE connection( Playing Mobile Legends @ meduim graphics) 10 hours... Maybe its on how the user takes care on his/her phone...

  • Help guys, which is better ?honor 6x or Asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 ? Help me!

  • I dont know what others are saying about this Phone. I bought this phone 3 months ago and I accidentally dropped this phone I think twice or thrice?. But its still working fine Note: there's no phone that is built in perfect. Even the xperia z5 and samsung S8 have a hardware and software problem too

  • Where did you buy it sir??

  • So you are using this since the release. That's great! By the way did you put Tempered Glass on it.? Did you encounter any problem? Thanks. Regards.

  • usually, the store covers 7 days warranty for replacement. you may try to bring the phone and complete set package with receipt at the store where you bought it.

  • This phone is magnificient perfect mid range, great performance no doubt been using for 6months no issues at all from hardware to software. Cons: Imaginary people's negative review.

  • i'm planning to buy this phone..I've read so many negative opinions. :(

  • i bought this phone 3 days ago, i didn't even drop it and i also attached an additional tempered glass + anti crack case since i bought it but nowwww it has a freakin dead pixel on the left side of the screen, such an unpleasant surprise i wanna cryyy!!!! plus the battery life isn't that long for 4100mah, compared to my lenovo p70 which has 3900mah battery, p70 battery lasted 36 hours with 4G network while this phone's battery lasts less than a day. what a shame, i should've picked lenovo p1 instead :((

  • I don't know about the other comments here but i have never experienced any of the issue you guys are talking about. After 5 months of use my ZF3 max is still woking great. No lcd screen issue, battery is still working fine and none of that software bugs y'all talkin about. So i don't know if the problem is region specific but i don't have any issues with my ZF3 max and its a great phone.

  • If you are a selfie addict or want a good camera with fast shutter speed, you should go with Asus Zenfone 3 Laser. But if you're a gamer and like hardcore gaming, Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 is the best choice because it's battery has a lot of juice 4100 mah . Although Zenfone 3 laser has a larger RAM than Zenfone 3 max. Pick your best choice. Hope I helped you. Ps: I am a Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 user. I have minor issues in screen sensitivity. Just saying.

  • It has only 3gb ram :)

You're welcome :D

  • so everything is fine with that phone? how long have you been using it? i'd heard a lot people complaining about asus ghost touch that also makes me contemplated in buying asus phones. btw thank you for the reply!

  • i bought this last april 16..and noe im encountring flickering screen specially when playing games and wake screen for a long time..i hope its just a firmware issue so i will not have a problem in the replacement unit...its so disappointing

  • choose zc553kl because up to date android OS, has finger print sensor, better rear camera, bigger battery, slimmer unibody design, but lack of gorilla glass. the advantage from Zen selfie is only 2 point, using gorilla glass 4 and better front facing camera. that's it

  • honor6x has better processor, the camera is dual but fewer resolution, smaller battery than zen3max the rest is depend on your taste. You can see more detailed review on youtube. but for mid range phone like that, i recomend asus.

  • I bought this phone 2 months ago, until now there is no problem at all. This phone has many camera modes. it has many camera settings like in the flagship phone, especially in manual/pro mode. it's producing good output of photo & for this price range. Battery capacity it's okay, more than enough for me, charging time is 2,5 hours from 1-100% while turn off. But i'm complain about asus did'nt give a splendid app for this phone, no fast charging, and led notif only produce red, orange, and green color even after using 3rd party app for led notif, shame on it. Oh yea, don't forget about the absence of backlight navigation key (thumbs up for redmi series).

  • absolutely zc553, because better in camera resolution & screen resolution than two other phones (zc553 producing good image and video for this price range. A lot of camera mode. btw I'm using this phone). I did'nt regret when i'm downgrade to this phone after using SGS6flat and SXZ3+

  • yes, soon

  • hey guys, which one is better? asus zc553kl , asus zc520tl and samsung j5 prime? this three phones i think they have quite similar specs except for their memory and camera quality. which one is better?

  • Which is better ?honor 6x or Asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 ? Help me!

  • why my fon ram 3

  • I've been comparing it also but i'll highly recommend asus in specs and quality

  • how about your battery when you use it for browsing it drains fast?

  • I also bought zenfone 3max last february 2017 and after a month its touch panel is not working.

  • what's true 3gb ram or 4gb ram??

  • Asus Z3 max has a huge battery life but it has a super fast charger it can fully charge with in less than 3hours

  • does this phone is upgradable to nogout?

  • Obviously selfi is best for selfi lovers bcoz it's have lazer sencer for best capturing photos

  • Got my Zenfone 3 max 5.5 now for 2 months and got no problem so far. I really love it.

  • heyyy...choose it : zenfone 3 max zc553kl or meizu px6 ???

  • Which is better ? Asus selfie or Asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 ?

  • Yes. mine also has crack near the charging pin. my device was manufacture 12/2016 .. What device of Asus Z3Max 5.5 is the best? I mean what manufactured date was the best quality of the Z3Max 5.5

  • which one is better asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 or vivo v5 lite??

  • you decide but the J7 Prime lags behind the Z3 Max 5.5 when it comes to gaming

  • When i send my picture or s.shot picture thru whatsapp, the pic is blur! Anybody can tell me? Do you have the same problem?

  • Which one is better Asus 5.5 or J7 prime ??

  • include Malaysia?

  • go for Huawei GR5 :)

  • i should buy a zenfone max 3 or huawei gr5?

  • just bought this, no gorilla glass and can't put any tempered glass since the screen is 2.5d. no fast charging but the battery size is huge so it take a lot of time charging

  • Yes i did return it yesterday in the asus service center they said it will take 1 to 2 weeks. I really dont know if asus is a good choice for smartphones.i actually bought 2 units this one that im using is ok but the battery drains a little bit faster than before. To think ive only been using it for more than 2 weeks. Im so disappointed

  • Hi did you return the phone, I have almost the same issue screen always on and off, now i return it since it still under warranty and I have to wait 2 weeks.

  • I suggest don't go with Samsung. Either buy Asus or Oppo Asus Zenfone 3 - ZC553KL is good option.

  • I have the same issue! Damn i kept thinking why the hell there is a crack on that part of my phone when on reality side i dont remember droping it yet.

  • Zenfone 3 has bigger bat., newer SoC, bigger RAM, finger scanner but depends on what you want. M5 have ip68 water resistance, better camera front and back, smaller pocket friendly. Pick whsr you desire just expand storage with SD card on M5.

  • Exactly, that issue is not a zenfone 3 max issue but rather on the unit that he got...lol

  • Not sure which is better. Got j7 prime for 2 months and thinking about selling it and get the zenfone 3 max 5.5

  • j7 best bet

  • Im thinking of buying a new phone and my choices are asus zenfone 3 mx 5.5, oppo f1s. Or samsung j7 prime. Which one is better? Thanks.

  • Disappointed when you can still replace it if it still have warranty?

  • You need to have a friend first...

  • I bought zenfone 3 max 5.5 two weeks ago at Fonerange SM Clark then suddenly the touch screen wont work. I did hard reset but still not working. All buttons are working except the touch screen itself. I am disappointed with this model.

  • I have noticed this blinking too every minute on my phone i dont know if thats normal to this asus Zf 3 5.5 max

  • Zemfone max or sony m5 aqua? Please commend

  • well..i think this is good. im going to buy 10 pieces this later after class. and im going throw the 9 piece i bought..byee 🌞

  • Dont be stupid just compare the specs and price difference.

  • which is better? Asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 or Samsung galaxy j7 prime?

  • zenfone max 5.5 because the rear camera of it is 16mp, samsung galaxy j7 prime have only 13 mp (rear camera)

  • hmmm okayy. thanks tho..

  • does this asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 doesn't blink the screen when it has messages?

  • No, it will not affect the performance of your phone. It was just on the case because of to tight screws. Better check also the batch if its 2016. try to buy 2017 batch maybe they are different from last batch.

  • Maybe incompatible cable? try another chargers. Not working electrical outlet? try to charge it on a laptop? Reboot you phone. Update your system. Bring to a service center for checking

  • i bought this phone. im using it for about 2 weeks but the problem is, it isnt charging... what should i do?? plss i need a feedback

  • hi im using this phone but it isnt charging... what should i do? pls send me feedbacks God bless!

  • Crack? does the performance of the phone will be affected to the crack?

  • its Asus zenfone 3 max 5.5, but there are some issues, please back read my comments.

  • which is better and worth to buy a new phone? this asus zenfone 3 max 5.5? Redmi note 4? or Samsung j7 prime? please help me...

  • Don't buy zenfone 3 max 5.5. This unit will have crack after using it for a week or a month but you know yourself you did not drop it. The signal sometimes is weak also.

  • Zenfone 3 max

  • For full charge it takes approx 2-3 hrs for 0-100% And after full charge I am getting approx 40 hrs backup with continuous use wifi/4G, normal apps, continous whats up and FB, little bit gaming, video, surging, approx 120 voice calls.

  • No, this model comes with 3GB ram. If you want 4GB ram model. Then check Zenfone 3 ZE552 and Zenfone 3 Laser. And if any budget issue then go for Zenfone 3 Laser. its nice value for money.

  • SMC number its not stored phone its updated in service provider server. So you can change in phone Call /Message setting or you can also call service provider they can correct it.

  • My suggestion, go with Zenfone 3 Max ZC553. This is the best phone under 20K. you can check Zenfone 3 Laser ZC551 aslo. Its comes with 4GB Ram but ony 3000mh battery but phone perfomance is nice. Look and price wise both r similar. But if u want better battery back-up then go with Zenfone 3 Max ZC553.

  • Hi... My phone can't recognize any kind of selfie stick... Can someone help me to resolve this issue??

  • please give me feedback

  • why the 2k17 NBA is not working in asus zenfone 3 max 5.5?since it is 3 gb ram and 32 gb internal i expect it gonna work

  • Hi guys,,,please help give me opinion about which 1 is better between samsung j7 prime / zenfone 3 max zc553kl? I wanna buy this saturday, but i'm still confused which 1 should i buy...please give me reason guys why i should buy it...thank u...

  • Please research first on the phone you want to buy, im looking forward to buy Oppo F1s or Asus ZF 3 max. But after seeing complaints for ZF 3 max i have a doubt if i still going to buy this. Maybe that's also the reason why they lower the price of this phone.

  • Hi? Can i ask a one question?which is better phone? ZENFONE 3 MAX 5.5 or SAMSUNG J7 PRIME? Please help me to decide what on this two phone unit i'll buy,?

  • Yeah.. Mine too

  • Hi guys, there are alarming complaints about cracks on the bottom beside the screw near in the USB port of the said device. The complaints are from the users of phone that recently bought there devices. They said they never drop there phone yet there's a crack only visible when you look closer to it.

  • i cant check my smc number. It says error.. is it a defect?

  • Is there really a 4GB RAM? Because I want 4GB RAM. Thanksss.

  • hi..may i know how long ur charge your hp?? i charge everyday...

  • ive got the solution.. finally..

  • Please check ur message center number.

  • My phone is also working good and battery back up is awesome. I'm happy with this phone. Thanks Asus

  • I think is network or service provider issue. cross check with different sim card.

  • Just bought this phone and I literally love it. For a medium budget phone, Asus surely delivers. I have yet to explore its capability for gaming but the look and feel of the phone is perfect. Plus, I got the pink one!

  • I just want to point out and share to everyone... The High Output Charger/Adapter included on the box is good enough to charge it... But, using the Fast Adaptive Charger on the recent S Series from Samsu g does trigger Quick Charge 3.0 which is supported by the chipset. No notifications, but side by side comparison, the difference is rather clear.

  • My zenfone 3 max zc553kl... Q3 of this year, have give update marshmallow to nougat. I have no encounter problems yet.

  • Doing pretty well with this phone until I Tried to use the phone as a "powerbank" as the ad says and the phone boasts about.... my phone died and wouldnt turn on even after charging

  • I luv this asus zenfone,, very fast, and reliable,, sim 1 and 2 work perfectly

  • Yes, I have same issue, Slot 1 does not recognize SIM card, so, I have started to use Slot 2, but sometimes phone service drops.

  • I have zenfone 2 ze551ml i have no issues with this cp i bought zenfone 3 just to have a finger print cp and octacore android 6 marsmallow im just waiting to upgrade it nougat 7.o android.i can say i love my asus zenfone 2 & 3.

  • Does it have the same problems just like zenfone 2 ze551ML ? Simcard in sim2 not detected & sometimes the network went missing. Made me twice to replace the machine.

  • what is the point of upgrading such variants if it will only give adverse problem to the user? Too many models to choose from, but the problems keeps on repeating every model they produces.

  • Does this zc553kl can support video call

  • I guess you are experiencing a Network provider problem. please make sure you have strong signal connection and sim card inserted in your phone. Are you a bluff?

  • Thats a bug on the marshmallow, just restart the phone everytime the phone cant detect the sd card.. . Or just upgrade to nougat if its already available ion your device

  • Yes, you can reformat the phone. Reformat all the files from your computer and SD cards including your drives. Some issues might be encountered for your next phone once it is reformatted. To avoid some issues, better to reformat everything from your phone, computer, tablets, SD cards, and drives.

  • No solutions for your phone's issue. Better to throw it now, Jes. Throw it then after that, you jump at the building for no reasons.

  • watch this how to insert sd card

  • Just bought it about a month and the issue I encountered is the missing microSD card(64GB) after some time. Need to reboot the device to restore access in the microSD card. Need solution to this. Are there any solution to this issue? Answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can someone help me?!.. my phone cant receive sms!.. pls help..

  • How about when i reformat the phone?

  • How to fix delayed sms? And no sms receive? Im experiencing it now.

  • Just bought this phone and after only one night of using, the phone got bootloop in the morning. I went to the service center and they give me suggestion to return the phone to the store and ask for a unit replacement. The replacement process went well with no fuss. But I was already dissapointed with this phone. Now I'm selling it in brand new out of the box condition. As a first time Asus user I feel really dissapointed. Loves their notebook but not their smartphone. My previous phone like Oppo A37 and Galaxy J5 2015, a lot cheaper smartphone went along well without any technical problems.

  • Your phone will never be back to normal anymore. There is no downgrade for your phone. It is better to throw it now. Go buy a new phone.

  • Same. Mobile signal is the worst. I bought my unit 3 days ago. On the first day, I couldn't connect a call. I know I have no network problem bec my samsung tablet is just fine. Then it lags on even the simplest games and social media. I don't have any problems with my network bec my other devices are working well. Zen 3max is pretty, but sucks with mobile network signal.

  • Please help me. After i system update my zen 3 max 5.5 it heats very fast and in an unusual. How to uninstall system update? I want my phone back to normal.

  • Lenovo K6 note will be out soon. I think i'll go with K6 note. Its better in every aspect

  • I have a question, how long does the battery last? Could it last for 2 days of normal usage? How long does it takes to fully charge with fast charging?

  • yes

  • Had been using this fon for a month now. So far having no technical issues! I love the phone ^_^

  • Hi! I would like to ask what's wrong w/ the unit when there is no data connection but data indicator is flashing on and off. I tried to switch to 4G, 3G and 2G but same thing happens. I just purchase my unit last month and this was my first time to encounter this. Thanks.

  • Hi! need help! I would like to ask if the screen glass of asus 3 max zc553kl is supported by gorilla glass? I'm plannning to buy this phone this week. thanks a lot!

  • I'd like to know if this phone supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 and if LTE-FDD band 28 (a.k.a 700Mhz)is available for this SKU in the Philippines. LINK: LINK: ... 3KL/specifications/

  • you must chose the ask option so that when you call or text the phone will ask you what sim are you going use

  • For instance you encounter 100% LAG which will freeze your device, the first thing to do is drain the battery.

  • hi zenfone users may i ask, who among you encountered that only 1 sim is default in outgoing function like in sending a message? even 2 sim card is inserted has any of you encountered that it is not working on every type of monopod or selfiepod? has any of you encountered that it heat so much? has any of you encountered that it always updating? hoping for your answer thank you

  • hi.. need help, i dont know how to insert the card and memory card. i forgot to ask it.. haha.. thanks in advance

  • Hi... i have a question regarding the battery since it is fixed... cannot be removed or replaced... what if it fail to work for some time. How could it be repaired or replaced? So i can still use the fone... Is there a solution to this?

  • I'm satisfied, the camera, performance, battery and other features are 😊 Good! For me, My investment / purchased to this phone was a wise decision...

  • does it support any flip view cover? like the ZC551KL ?

  • You just had a crappy one. Ask for a replacement.i've been using this device fir almost 2 months now and i did not encounter those issues you were talking about

  • idk what happen in another country but in my country nobody have an issue about this phone bad or going flop. And i bught this phone a month ago and still work aswell. Or maybe u just bought fake phone, lol.

  • Can this get a nuogat update?

  • This phone is crap & horrible. I bought it 3 weeks ago and it's already faulty. At first it cannot be charged & few minutes after that it cant be switch on, it keep restarting. Asus Service Centre told me that Zenfone 3 Max 5.2 inch have a lot of problems, so the 5.5 inch is going to be same as well. Previously I'm using Zenfone 2 Laser, and after upgrade the Android, the phone goes haywire...that's why I decided to buy new phone....Asus is very user friendly + have various UI customization....but....on quality.....it is full of shit!

  • I have had every name brand that is considered "Flagship" phones and this is by far the best one of all.

  • I love the touch of the screen and yes it is Gorilla glass4

  • I have one and have found no connectivity problems,(and I think I live in one of the weakest signal areas!

  • I bought this phone just to have a phone until I could find a Zenfone 3 deluxe 5.5, to my delightful surprise this is really a great phone! I finding all sorts of benefits that I really wasn't aware of prior to the purchase. The camera is the best I have ever experience and the battery is soooo great, 4100 ma. rated ! I go all day and most of the next day before even thinking about charging it back to full power. This battery is so powerful I could easily go 2 or even 3 days if I were conservative. My eyesight is not so great but there is a feature that lets you expand the keyboard to accommodate larger keys. If I wasn't so power hungry I would be very content to keep this phone for a year or more but my wife is already licking her chops for me to discard it to her.

  • Hi, can I know any issue on this phone?like GPS, Mobile data connection. I am thinking to buy this phone. Thank you

  • Wt do you mean?ur brightness mode is in auto mode?

  • It is normal that the auto brightness sudenly blinking every minutes?

  • how to calibrate battery?

  • Hi i wany to ask about this phone. Is this phone using gorilla glass? Or its not?

  • because the batt has the powerbank ability,,, you can charge another fone from your asus zenfone 3 max 5.5 using OTG cable

  • calibrate your battery

  • dude better go redmi note3 it takes 2days moblies legends fb web browsing

  • anyone found screen protector for this phone? Please post lnk of where you bought the same.

  • 9,950 php only.

  • According to the review, Yes. I don't know about the Nougat updates but I'm pretty sure it'll get Nougat due to past experience (the old Zenfone Max is upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 and even the former Zenfone 4 got Lollipop update but I update it manually since Asus don't release it via OTA). I doubt it'll gave you the "as-smooth-as-before" performance.

  • I bought my Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL 3 days ago. And today I experienced my screen suddenly blinked for a sec. I bothered because of this. Can anyone explain this to me?

  • I'm currently using the old zenfone max and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I recommended it to my sister and two friends. All are pretty satisfied. I would definitely consider buying this phone if my old max dies.

  • How long battery zenfone 3 max zc553kl last?

  • Yeah. Samsung is way better and also Lenovo p2 is the best! 5,100 battery pack now thats MAX!

  • This phone gives me headaches.. its restarting/rebooting when i send text messages its so annoying and frustrating. I bought it 2 weeks ago but problems came 2 days ago. Maybe many asus handsets are defective. Not gonna buy asus anymore i'll just go back with Samsung which is truly better

  • I owned Asus zenfone Selfie before and I am so satisfied with the phone battery is just 3000mAh but its okay , I sell it and upgraded to Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 and added a money to fulfill the amount for it. I purchased it. its okay even without having front flash because the camera is good, BUT I am experiencing no signal bars and it will take long minutes before I successfully send the message, delayed messages most of the time. I observed it for 4 days now. its not the about the area because my zenfone selfie before is working good. I am aware if its a problem with the service of network or if its a problem on the device itself because I am working with International USA Telco Company. I love the phone, I want this that's why I bought this. just help me how I can boost my signal and how I can prevent waiting so long to send a message and receiving delayed message at the same time. Please help me for some resolution??? its always giving me a bad day

  • 3gb ram

  • 3gb only not 4 gb

  • I just bought it 5 days ago. But the battery drains fast. Im a moderate user but after hours of texting calling browsing and gaming the battery drains fast. Im dissapointed and im going to buy lenovo P2 which ithink is much better

  • Yes

  • Yes! 10995 price

  • No.

  • Is the 4GB RAM Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL available here in the Philippines?

  • It seemed that the most recent firmware update for zc553kl made the battery drain fast compared to when I first bought it and hasn't gone through updating the system. I hope asus can fix this right away. I learned that the last firmware patch has been recalled probably due many issues and complaints mainly about the battery draining fast. Tsk.

  • It's the laser model not the Max dude

  • hi asus when will be the nougat update for this phone waiting for the update......

  • yeah thats . true

  • Mi 5s is better then the best

  • so go back to the store on where you purchased the phone. I believe that there is a warranty. and for your case it is actually covered on warranty since there is no signal bars showing on your asus max 3

  • yes asus is the best

  • I purchased asus zenfone max 3 ZC553KL last 3 days ago in SM BACOLOD and I am very happy with my new phone. The battery is good as well as the camera. I played a lot of games on my phone but the battery is not easily drained. wooooohooo... I am very satisfied for buying the phone.

  • In terms of network coverage.. This fone sucks. Can't even use mobile data at home..but whenever I insert my Sim in my Samsung fones, network signal has 3 bars! So disappointed. Got mine for 11995php!

  • sure?.. i bought my phone for 10,995..

  • Help me. I have a problem connecting my phone to my laptop, when i connect together my lappy charge. Please Asus help me.

  • IS 4GB RAM Available in the store?

  • Already selling in malaysia, but 3gb ram version only

  • Is this phone good for someone who loves to watch videos and movies online?

  • does it important?

  • Should I go with this phone or Oppo F1s?

  • I bought this phone last year before Christmas.i think this phone is not 4gb ram ithink its about 3gb only the phone is good for photography but.i think it fast the battery drained.

  • all batteries heats up when being charged. since the battery on this phone is big, it takes more time to charge, thus the heat. if you want to minimize the heat, try using a charger with lower amps. it takes longer to charge but it minimizes the heat, which also reduces damage to the battery.

  • I've looked for a tempered glass but I can't find any tempered glass available anywhere inside the mall. No one yet sells tempered glass for this model as the side of this phone is like s7 edge (curved) nothing fits this model.

  • i bought this phone few days ago, just now, i tried to empty the battery and charge it to measure hours to full (0-100). im charging it while its off, and i noticed that the phone was hot and the charger too,, is this normal??? i need some answers, as a new zenfone user.

  • Same thing happened to mine. It fell about 6cm from my bag to a safe my bag was on, and cracked. Asus doesn't cover cracked displays under their warranty. Horrible durability! I have already made my feelings clear to Asus!

  • Great phone, except for display. No Gorilla Glass on this model. Very, very, very easy to crack Glass on screen. If you buy, I recommend immediate Tempered Glass install. Some stores will include with purchase.

  • Which one is clear camera between samsung galaxy j7 prime and asus zenfone 3 max ZC553KL?

  • Asus zenfone 3 max zc553kl or Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime?:D

  • I wanna buy new phone.. between zenfone 2 4gb ram 32 rom or zenfone max 3 3gb ram 32 rom... which is better? Please help me 2 make decision...

  • It only has 3gb of ram but still a cheap priced phone yet a very powerful one

  • zenfone 3 max 5.5 and zenfone 3 laser are just the same.. the only difference is the battery capacity and dimensions. under the hood its still the same soc 430..

  • How about the resolution when you zoom it?

  • There is an update... 80MB.. is it ok to update?

  • Which is much better to buy? Zenfone 3 laser 5.5 or zenfone 3 max 5.5?

  • which is better? sansung or asus?

  • Pin is included. Have it firsthand

  • Should be okay, but with the given fact it's comparable to the Xiaomi Redmi 3s... maybe you might be torn between both of them. Still, if you want Full HD and 4 GB of RAM, go with the Zenfone 3 Max. I won't be pushy, so decide for yourself.

  • Isn't it pix-elated even when you zoom it in?

  • pin not included in the box...

  • How does this phone perform? Is it good for gaming? Does it have hanging problems? Will it support jio sim???

  • I am planning to buy this, is this good for gaming and does the batt doesn't get very hot when apps used?

  • Can someone please confirm the fast charging claims of this phone? How fast is it charging using fast charger?

  • i think it does

  • i dont think it does

  • sd 430? is that even close with sd 650/652/625? because most of the phone that are close to that price range have those processor

  • Does it have gorilla glass?

  • its Available in asus stores nationwide, but i prefer you buy in sm cyberzone for good warranty

  • Where did you buy in the philippines bro?

  • The pin is included in the box.

  • Been using my phone for a month. Very much satisfied with the performance. For a price of PhP10.9K these offers great value for money. This is the first time I have used an ASUS phone and I am very much satisfied. The camera is great and the battery life is commendable. Overall this is a great buy.

  • How about the pin ? The pin to open the sim card slot? Not included in the box? It should have one...

  • I agree im not satisfied with the specs of this phone

  • how ur day dan? this phone is amazing however it degrades on battery capacity than its late model zenfone max 2 which have a 5000 mah battery capacity

  • do you understand what main specs means kid? if you want those type of specs to be revealed on GSMarena, Asus will get buried by Samsung, LG, Sony and Apple, hell even Huawei can do so

  • IF you put-it that way than a galaxy S7 would have almost an infinite specifications page. On GSM what's listed is mostly Specifications on the Hardware.

  • in specifications....features are to be mentioned

  • Those are features not the main specifications.

  • Some of the features are missing in this specification page..... at 10% battery in power saver mode phone will provide 30 hrs standby 2.25 mm slim bezel Ultra-fast 0.03s instant focus and subject tracking TriTech AF system (2nd-gen laser auto-focus, phase detection auto-focus and continuous auto-focus),Real-time HDR 3-axis electronic image stabilization phone with this price range can'overtake asus in camera feature...
