I need separate volume controls for Ringer and Notifications-- does it have that? Also, are Google Messages and Google Photos the default apps? My Samsung S5 has it's own apps for that and doesn't force the use of Google Apps, which I don't want to use. Moto E5 Play has Google apps as default and Google Photo cannot be disabled-- bad! Thanks for your help.

Mr.Phone

Yes, it has led notification.

Emma

Does this device a notification light

Mr Green

Pie is not that great anyway, leave it on Oreo.

Mr.Phone

ZE554KL - Pie is apparently an beta version that is not going to get an final stable release. Android 9 (Pie) Beta version will not be supported with routine updates. That is a very crazy decision ASUS. Bring a final stable pie version to your customers and fans.

Sharvin1704

Yes the user experience is excellent battery life has improved than before

Mr.Phone

ASUS has released Android 9 aka PIE today for our ZE554KL folks! WW-16.0620.1905.10

Ram

it has a touchscreen complaint , it has only 15 month old. not satisfied with this.

Leopold

Yes, Android 9 aka Pie is coming in (Summer) June 2019. I want to see a optimized camera night mode in Pie. Asus, come on, do it right in your camera app!

Billy

Got update today for global ww ROM. Security now up to 1 March 2019. Been pretty impressed with Asus and the regularity of their updates. Pie should be available in June.

you must to flash it to the rom before you use it without battery draining so fast

Hi Undone. No, I wasn't talking about the LG G5 SE, I had the "real" G5, with the SD820.And yes, definitely this phone is better in plenty of ways. Only issue I have is that Asus has more thatn 2 months without any security updates... Besides from that, I'm in love with this phone. So much that, now that the wife needs to replace her Zenfone 2, I'm getting her the Zenfone 5. I don't think that I will move from Asus for a long time.

Will not work more than a year. I never drop it and it stop working after a year. Do not worst the money which I paid. It was cheap though and has a good battery life. but you get what you pay for. I wish I have bought a higher quality phone and at least last more.

Undone

Most probably, Android isnt getting a good bat calibrating from Asus, but you can try a trick that it almost always work. Turn off your Ze554kl. With the phone turned off press: -Volume down + Power (might take up to 5 seconds to turn it on). In recovery mode select: -Wipe cache partition (BEWARE: This option ONLY, not the others...)... Once you choose and the wipe is done, reboot your phone. It may take up to 2 days to calibrate you battery... Just use the phone normally and Android will figure out how to do it, in one or two or three charges. If not... then it might be a firmware problem, and thats up to Asus to resolve... of course, you aint gonna be the only one with that problem... Link:

If you refer to lg g5 se, you just cant compare... this phone is way better... if you refer to moto g5 plus, then it is a little bit closer... Asus is known for its fine tunning, "huge" RAM... although sometimes that hardware tunning isnt that fine. I always recommend Asus as a brand if you cant pay a flagship phone... think as the brand as the Oneplus... half step behind it. Always ´bout the best Asus´models, that is. It isnt cheap, but a little bit more affordable than any flagship.

Applications runs fast, you can boost your choice of apps Has Multi window mode for multi tasking When doing video call, you can minimize your call window and open other apps good volume for loud speaker and earpiece which is useful when making calls good mic, other end of call hears you clearly aptx, CD-like quality audio over Bluetooth battery lasts all day(LTE turned on, frequent web browsing, emails, office apps) Back Camera is very good Front camera is ok in good lighting, and on dark lighting, it is similar or bit better to oneplus 5t front fingerprint sensor, practical when phone is always in your desk, no need to lift to scan USB type C

Hi,i bought this phone and when using it's camera i noticed a whining noise, coming from the back of the phone,from the area of the 2 cameras. The whine appears only when using the main camera,the wide and the front one don't make the noise. I talked with Asus and they told me it's not normal,so i got the phone replaced and the new one has the same issue. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

francsal

I ordered the Zenfone 4 (SD660, 6GB RAM) because I definitely needed a dual sim phone, but didn't have the money for a flagship device. I have tried to always use flagship devices, this being the first time that I tried a midrange phone. Coming from an LG G5, I was a bit anxious about what to expect from the Zenfone 4 regarding performance, camera, responsiveness, etc., but have been extremely surprised and amazed by this device. The camera is really good (although the wide camera of the G5 was wider), the performance seems even faster than the G5 (pretty sure that it can be attributed to both the cpu and the 6GB of RAM), the design of the phone is amazing, the battery seems to last a lot more than on the G5, and it's already upgraded to Oreo, something LG has been having problems with. All in all, I'm extremely pleased with the phone, it gives flagship performance (except probably in games due to somewhat slow GPU, but I'm not a gamer so, for me, that's a moot point), has really good back cameras (not a selfie fan, so I have no problem if the front camera is not the greatest), has an amazing design and it seems that will receive updates in a timely fashion.

Got my new Asus Zen. After the Zen 5" and the Zen 3 (520), it is a great improvements on all aspects BUT BUT BUT the IPS refreshes in such way, that wearing polarized sunglasses and operate your phone simply don't match. I live in Greece and with so much sunlight, I just have to decide that I don't have a cell phone when I walk on the street.

Latest update for ze554kl 4gb ram version has f****d up the battery. Aps like instagram and utube, android system are draining the battery. Battery optimization isnt working. I used to get onscreen time of 8-10 hours per full charge, now with the same usage I get 5-6 hours. I hope Asus fixes the issue.

Zahin M.

Yes, I agree with that. Asus updates mostly crashed the software until it affects the camera performance. But at the first, ZF3 was absolutely great. I used this regular ZF4 and Oreo update doesn't affect any at all (so far).

Anonymous

ZF3 camera was destroyed by the "updates" pushed out by Asus, just look on their forum for the number of broken cameras on phones that are now out of warranty. Best of all, even their own service centres said it is a software problem, so they cannot fix it.

Zahin M.

Updated to Oreo, battery feels little bit better, camera is somewhat has been improved at particular things. Recommended Oreo for everyone.

AnonD-734022

The ZS550KL has blown me away. And purely because of that - not to mention I know Asus ALWAYS does it hardware good - I'm actually looking forward to switching to Z4 as soon as I can. The RAW support and in-phone editing is so, so handy and great in my ZS550KL!

AnonD-734022

Precisely! The last flagship I used was a Z1 and I've got iPhone 7, Galazy A5 users around me and i have NOT seen such true-to-life reproduction of the photos in ZS550KL that i'm using now. This 3 Deluxe is one helluva device, particularly the camera. One caveat though - the dac inside is not on par with the one in Mi Max that i use (as my primary device); found that out through using the Sony Media Centre music app. Anyhow.

AnonD-748904

I'm thinking about buying this phone. Are there any problems with audio quality (on headphones)? I encountered several reports about problems with sound quality (bass in particular) in reviews and on official asus website forum. Also how about low light picture quality compared to other phones like LG G6. Is it hard to shoot photos that are not blurred?

Bras

This is one of my choices. I like the design, front fingerprint, battery, chipset, standard screen 16:9. Looking forward to buy this.

Thank you. Being considered your opinion.

Zahin M.

Zenfone 4, of course! Battery was pretty good, 5 hours screen-on-time for browsing.

Zahin M.

Don't ever believed reviewer out there. I don't know why some reviewer stated that Zenfone 4 has average or sadly, disappointing camera. I used this phone for about 1 month and the camera is one of the best I've ever had. Before used this phone, I used Xperia XZs, Galaxy S6 edge and Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. This phone easily nails them! Daylight was truly incredible, lowlight is almost excellent, or above average if not decent. Some reviewers such as Digital Trends stated this phone has disappointing camera. Seriously, Zenfone 3 ZE520KL/ZE552KL already has epic camera and got many praised from reviewers but do you believed Zenfone 4 ZE554KL has bad camera? The offered hardware was a big upgrade from their predecessor and flagship-class!

I have the same issue since the last update.. Front camera dont work..

Zahin M.

Here's my review after about 2 months usage :- Performance (9/10): I got SD630 with 4GB RAM variant, zero lags or dropping frames on gaming. Smooth at all, but could be better if not much third party apps bulit-in Battery (8.5/10): Pretty solid battery life. I got 2 days of normal usage. 6h SoT of browsing, watch videos, play music. 4h SoT of gaming. Plus it has fast charging which charged 50% from 40 minutes. Could be better if had wireless charging. Camera [still images] (8.5/10): Camera is one of impressive feature. Daylight pictures come out detailed, punchy colours without oversaturated, maintaining lifelike colours, pretty good contrast and great dynamic range. Don't worry if you suffered with high-contrast scenes, HDR does a great job balancing light. Low-light comes about above average. Detailed and sharped but low captured light which produced little bit darker but still good. Bokeh was average, could be better if used hardware capability to assist software-managed bokeh effect. But overall great for this price range. Camera [video recording] (8/10): 4K video was very sharp, detailed and very good colours. EIS only available on 1080p@30fps, not on 1080p@60fps and 2160p@30fps. OIS doesn't eliminate shakiness well. But 1080p videos was good enough if you want a video with good stabilizer. But one thing makes me disappointed is it has very poor dynamic range. Hope ASUS fix this via software updates. Hope my review helped you all to make a choice. Feel free to ask anything ;-)

Guys should I go for Zenfone 5 ZE620KL or Zenfone 4 ZE554KL? I like Zenfone 4 design more than Zenfone 5 notch but Zenfone 5 maybe got better camera than Zenfone 4 which I really need. How does Zenfone 4 camera performs? On good light and low-light is it good enough? Really need help. Thanks for any reply.

I began to use Asus Zenfone 4 (ZE554KL) one month ago. But I disappointed very much when I was noticed to not use double SIM card at the same time. Before, I used Zenfone 2 more then 2 years. And, I was very pleased to use Asus Zenfone 2. It was also able to providing 2 SIM usage at the same time. I expected to have better phone but Zenfone 4 seems has less specification. It is not acceptable. ☹️

I bought my Asus Zenfone 4 (ZE554KL) last sunday @ SM North. I got the SD660 with Adreno 512. I wasn't able to check everything though. but as far as I know what gsm arena post are mostly correct. to my surprise... it doesn't have fm radio and the model say's asus_z01kb. anyone can explained?

They giving attention only for any big brands, especially Samsung, Sony, Apple. Even their low-end devices got a review. GSMArena at keast give reviews on high-end (4 Pro ZS551KL) and the premium one (4 ZE554KL). Can be better give until low-end ranges.

Camera performance is just average for the class of phone. The problem is the camera stopped working properly after 2 months! It takes over 10 seconds to focus and often miss resulting in out of focus pictures! Also, it don't track faces well at all!

Zahin M.

The camera is very impressive! I assure you, you can get the best camera for this price range. Dual-Pixel PDAF, f/1.8 aperture, 1.4μm pixel size, colour correction sensor, they justify to have a great photos. Pictures was incredible on daylight, lowlight was also excellent. Not the best compared to other rival like Samsungs or Phones, but great compared with the phones with the same price tag. I used Xperia XZs before changed to this phone, the pictures came out blur and suffered with much noises on lowlight with my XZs. After used this phone, I can say this phone's camera was 2 times better than XZs! Moreover, you get an extra wide-angle camera which is useful to capture more scenes.

Ferlie

Could you describe the camera performed? is it good or bad? i got a big cut price on it, looking towards to buy it soon.

Zahin M.

I think so. Snapdragon 630 is 4GB RAM while Snapdragon 660 is 6GB RAM. My brother got this phone 1 month ago before recommended to me, which he used 6GB RAM variant. There's a big difference on speed test.

Anonymous

Guys how to know the phone which one used snapdragon 630 and 660? is it that 4gb RAM is sd630 and 6gb RAM is sd660?

Zahin M.

Got this phone 3 weeks ago, so far this is superb phone! I got 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage and Snapdragon 630 and the performance is super snappy! UI is very rich of features, this UI which is ZenUI 4 is better than their old ZenUI 3. The battery backup is also great, their 3300mAh battery could lasts for 2 days with normal usage and around 5 hours for continuous usage of gaming. No overheats just warm a bit. The camera is one of the impressive thing on this phone. The camera performs excellent in both daylight and lowlight! I can say this camera was better than my old Xperia XZs! The display is very visible under sunlight, full of colours! Thanks ASUS!

This may seem a bit off-topic at first, but trust me, it is very relevant here... In 2015, I bought the flagship Zenfone 2 64GB. No issues with the performance - it was a beast. Then, one fine day in 2017, the phone went dead without warning. I took it to the service station and they said the internal circuitry had "rusted beyond repair". So much for "Asus" quality! After that day, I vowed never to buy another Asus phone.

It is too late for me to return the phone now. The phone was not defective to begin with, only became defective after their OTA "update", so it is clearly a software issue. Anyhow, I fixed it now by buying a new phone, not Asus of course!

Bought the ASUS Zenfone 4 630 variant ! So far so good, upon boot up ASUS updated to Android 7.1.1 Have loaded all my favorite apps, taken pics and videos without any app freezes or issues. Streamed FB, YouTube, and games without any issues either. USB C works nice and charges quick. No heavy power loses all day long with medium stream use. Also have had ASUS Zen2 with no issues either. I'm a medium duration app user, and careful with my electronic stuff even when on outdoor adventures or at parties. It works for me and doesn't power drain too quickly. We will see further, ASUS makes some great computing products and I've have no complaints with them.

Mertensia.engineers

Unfortunately this OEM basically engineers "half way" and their Customer support is one of the single worst in the industry. We were big fans of their motherboards for years then their quality decreased so much we stopped using them. So, although specs are decent, it fails to make up for the exceedingly poor quality of the engineering and support. We had hoped their foray into smartphone technology would have shown that they were serious about their engineering, and possibly customer support, but that never materialized. There are better quality and supported alternatives. It's unfortunate Asus hasn't upped their game. Instead it's vastly decreased.

I did that and bought my Zenfone 3 from SG. The problem is the phone is not sold in UK and now Asus UK is not interested in helping me at all. I am talking about paid for repairs, not warranty claims. Asus TW tells me to bring the phone back to where I bought it!

Anonymous

Very few, if any, problems are ever solved. The Asus reps will keep asking the same questions over and over again, making you clear cache and factory reset your phone (and loosing everything in the process) to discourage you from pressing on for a solution. If not, they will try and blame others for the problem. For example, I cannot pair my phone with my car, and they suggest that I change my car! I posted a video proving that every other phone (Panasonic, Sony, Motorola and even Oppo) can pair successfully and they just go quiet because they don't know what to do. Also, it is not just my car, there are people with the same problem with at least 6 different makes of cars. Asus is just not interested in fixing existing problems for its customers.

Asus phones may be ok in the beginning but because they mess with the OS and UI so much that the problems will keep coming. Every update will bring more problems. Look on the Asus forum and you will see that updates break cameras, charging, etc... Asus will refuse to fix it blaming the users instead!

Asus is veeeery bad in terms of support, very delayed and buggy updates. And they tend to abandon their phones without updates. Not cool.

What?!? 500EURO for SD630 variant? In Malaysia, SD630 variant only costs 420EURO (RM2099) and the price for SD660 will be estimately around 480EURO (RM2499). Come to Malaysia for lower price :D

I saw a review and Camera focus was awful and they mentioned it not dual pixel AF as asus promote , check Btekt review maybe after software update they will fix it but for 500 Euro it's hard to recommend it

AnonD-700701

sorry to disappoint you but that 500 Euro is just for sd630 , only asian market get sd660 , so 500 euro overpriced for just sd630 and by the way check review on UK websites , the camera focus is just the worst things ,it can't have that dual pixels AF that Asus promoted just like I told you before , it's the lens that support that but it's not implemented there that why the focus is so slow even with OIS the video at 1080 60fps is still shaky

TheShadow

That's true, Zenfone 3 Zoom maybe better than Zenfone 4 with SD630 version since there's no big different between SD630 with SD625. Improved RAM management which supports LPDDR4 type, and just little enhaned speed and features on the chipsets. And yeah, just wait for the review of Zenfone 4.

Anonymous

Yeah it is bad choice from ASUS putting the SD 630 variant for the most market. I heard only Indonesia get the Snapdragon 660 on South East Asia for now, Malaysia and Philippines (even India too) get the Snapdragon 630 version. Well, Cortex A53 on Snapdragon 630 may give you more battery life comparing Kyro 260 core on Snapdragon 660 which is Perform based CPU core but still is not like Zenfone 3 Zoom that you get the 5000 mah battery for massive battery life. So IMO, I think Zenfone 3 Zoom is more worthed than Zenfone 4 SD 630 version. But may we look the review first of Zenfone 4.

When will it start selling in India

Better get Galaxy S8

AnonD-692005

The price maybe far higher on SD660 compared with SD630 variant since there's some difference features between SD630 and SD660 variant. Maybe around 500 EURO for SD660 variant. But it's still reasonable price for 'premium mid-range' phones.

if that was true , then it should be better and perfect with sd660 variant but The price seems higher in UK £449.99 for just sd630

ZF4 has Dual Pixel PDAF. Watch it on YouTube which named "Zenfone 4 Design Story", the video mentioned that the phone has Dual Pixel PDAF. So it's true, combination of Dual Pixel PDAF with OIS would be greater than your X4 I think...

I agreed with you about the OIS but compare to most needed thing is AF features rather than OIS ,nowadays SD630 have EIS 3.0 which 60% of OIS so it's enough , and who told you that ZF4 has dual pixels AF , it's mentioned that sony lens support it but not included , I'm the one who should asked you that question claiming that ZF4 comes with DP AF alongside with OIS even the both devices not launched yet globally for my perspective , I did alot of search in all categories , and that was my opinion that moto x4 is better that zf4 ( for alot reasons price , stock android ...) despite that there are some similarities

AnonD-692005

Dual Pixel AF is nothing without OIS. Zenfone 4 also uses Dual Pixel AF and works together with OIS. Do you really have X4 and ZF4 on your hands? Or you just compared it based on specs you read anywhere?

Ahmet

Dear Gsmarena In some youtube reviews or previews, the screen is introduced as IPS screen. Are there two variants of screen as the CPU, namely IPS for SD630 and AMOLED for SD660? Can you clarify that?

Seriously Good. ;)

AnonD-542848

When did zenfone 4 change to quad core processors?

AnonD-700701

sorry bro , but I already know what ZP4 , you get wowed by primary cam but you Forget to compare the second cam , Try to compare and you'll see that wide angle cam on X4 a way better with PDAF for second, and take a look at overall camera front (able to shoot 4k ) to rear and you'll see that x4 is better in term of camera regardless the lacks of OIS but Dual Pixels AF is much needed about Audio asus always impelement DTS system on all products so nothing news despite the lacks of waterproof but the important is UI System that is near to Stock android and Price tag

Anonymous

really?? zenfone 4 has imx362 f1.8 with 4axis image stabilization, tri tech focusing system which is top rated at this moment. same wide angle les available as moto x4. x4 doesnt even have ois and same primary camera as moto z2 play. zp4 even has dts certified audio. finally everything comes down to pricing. moto x4 will be android one so if its cheaper will be better otherwise except ip68 zp4 is better in every possible way.

LIRKER

SD630 & SD660 in Zenfone 4 are octa-core processor.

Nick

This phone for me 9/10 because 1.STORAGE 2.THE PROCESSOR FOR A LOW COST PHONE 3.BATTERY AND LAST 4.THE GLASS why i like to this phone is first the storage. Guys the RAM of this phone is 4GB 100% good for hardcore gamers second the processor. Guys Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is the besy processor on any android than mediatek and corvex why? Guys Snapdragon is used in samsung galaxy s8 also in physical usage snapdragon is the best battery optimizer and make lag less while mediatek all local low cost phone has mediatex as cpu chip but its worst and for me a trash processor third is the battery. Guys zenfone 4 is the best battery low cost phone with 3,300 mAh compare to vivo V5 with 3,050 mAh but vivo V5 is pretty expensive than ZenFone 4 and last is the glass guys gorilla glass 4 is soo thick glass guys that put in a low cost phone Disadvantage: The only i hate to zenfone 4 is the QUAD CORE processor is ASUS BIAS? Why they didnt it make to octa core or hexa core or something??

AnonD-700701

try to compare it with Moto X4 , the camera system in X4 is a way better with Dual Pixel AF , for me the zenfone 4 didn't get most out of sdm 630 as the X4 did

AnonD-694521

guys, is this zenfone 4 good ? im looking for new phone

Mahesh

8 models are announced for Zenfone 4 Series out of them only one phone contains 5.2 inch screen and its not sporting a SD 6 series SOC. Why Asus is more concerned about 5.5 inch Screen big phones ?

AnonD-692005

I think it's worth, SD660 performs almost like SD820. Both uses Kryo CPU. The SD660 model maybe equipped with 6GB RAM.

Can you read the comments atleast 2 pages before comment like that? Damn it. Just swipe your finger down and you already get answered! -_-

AnonD-698264

Is Sd660 modal worth?

AnonD-692005

It's IPS, but better, Super IPS+.

JSav

They do included fast charging in this one... or at least that's what the asus page says ­

AnonD-687241

Still no fast charging really shows how stupid Asus is. I'd rather get a OP5 or P10 with that pricetag. Overpriced piece of sht

AnonD-697430

it's ips or amoled ?

i mean no harm

If oppo,vivo,j7 can pull then why cant we. Asus logic

Hicham DZ

Super IPS+ Display

Sapphire Blue

Why 630 version only 5V2A.

NJ

no ingress protection whatsoever.... im an admirer of ASUS literally since my zenfone selfie still works pretty good in almost 2yrs of using it as my daily driver...however right now I don't know how they can justify these STRATOSPHERIC pricing considering some of these necessary specs are missing...... my clumsy brother had the deluxe zenfone 3 yet stops working after his 2yr old daughter accidentally spilled a glass of juice on the phone........... no blame for asus here...... but perhaps....phone nowadays should be atleast splash proof... blaaaahhhhh!!!!

Anonymous

This phone support QC 3.0 on 18W but for reason ASUS limit it on 15W. Check on Zenfone 4 official website. And... This phone isnt use AMOLED screen based that web.

Anon12345

These specs aren't final, they'll update once the device is officially released.

Oddie7

It has BoostMaster fast charging. But the GSMArena doesn't update full specs here

AnonD-617820

No fast charging that is simply ruined everything.

AnonD-687861

Right.

AnonD-59657

This phone does not worth €500. Better get OnePlus 5.

Love the phone ....SD 630 another monster like previous 625 version....Bluetooth 5 ,Quick charge 4 (15 min 50%) and more power efficient 👍👍👌&#128­147;

Asus zenfone 4(snapdragon 630) will cost 399$

You can have a perfect smartphone at low price so Lenovo had to cut cost in camera department. If you look at the reviews the camera is average not terrible.

Anon12345

If we look at zenfone 2 and 3 's price at launch, zenfone 4 will be around $375 - $385 . Hopefully....

And terrible camera.... Otherwise excelente phone

The data is not correct, correct

Hope price will be less than 20k-23k in India. Then this will be the best choice.

Highly recommend the Lenovo p2. Perfect low price with all time battery life, close stock Android ui and super amoled screen.

AnonD-646111

If u need battery life phones here are the Mi Max 2. 5300mah battery Mi Max 4800mah battery Lenovo p2 5000mah battery Samsung C9 pro 4000mah battery Samsung A9 pro 5000mah battery Asus Zenfone Zoom S 5000mah battery Moto Z play 3510mah battery All these are primium smartphones available in india in under 30K

MONEY SUCKING SCHEME

phones are being made with non-removable backs....glass backs...etc etc....for a good reason....the scheme works for them...."consumers" now buy new phones every year, many buy every six months!

Anonymous

My only complaint.... Battery... I was hoping asus will use 5000maH on their zenfone4 lineup as they use in zenfone 3 zoom. Now i need ti find other phone. Hopefully, the galaxy c10 pro will use 5000mah battery

Alex

It looks like almost all Samsung phones: same home button and ugly.

AnonD-692005

Fingerprint sensor on a back panel will make it looks ugly. Furthermore, I never messed up with fingerprint on front panel. It's still easy to reachable than on back panel.

AnonD-692005

They already did on this model. Use better Sony sensor (IMX362) and it has larger aperture f/1.8, so it'll perform better on low-light condition HOPEFULLY.

AnonD-692005

Don't worry, it has OIS

Nukmichael

It's not AMOLED screen! IPS LCD screen confirmed.

Anonymous

Asus is falling. What happened! the zenfone 5,2 was fantastic now we get overpriced crap. If you like amoled screen go for Samsung mid range much better.

Vonarian

I told price of GSMArena isn't correct. for example ZF AR is 800EUR but it's not correct.it is lower than 700-750.and only 650-700USD. don't worry about these high prices. Good Luck.

Ninjutsu

You guys sure about NFC? Sure NFC = Yes? I will give my zf3 to my wife and buy zf4 cause i need use android pay and zf3 dont have.

johnson

why asus smartphone price became high maitain under 20 thousand rupee the company became very popular

rasunaki

still better zoom s, its beautiful design when mix with glass back cover again like ze552kl thumb fingerprint is worst, like samsung phone or iphone. back fingerprint is ergonomic

Smartphone Advisor

Asus Zenfone UI is quite heavy in terms of memory space used and also the running process. Found that too many unnecessary asus apps installed in asus phone. I believed that Asus know how to improve the specs and design but i dont know why they do not push their limit to produce high end phones. I once use asus phone for a long time and found that it become worst after a very long time used. I know how to maintain the android performance but sad, its useless against zenfone UI. I hope for the best Asus. I still love your laptop thou.

AnonD-692312

Te fingerprint reader on the back is way better... Who designs these things? Why the sudden need to dumb them down? The phone is big enough to play ping pong with it and you put a physical button with fingerprint reader in the middle of it... I'll love to see the design team using it with one hand like I'm doing now with my zenfone3

AnonD-692102

asus design is great but spec something not improve.... asus company please do review for u latest phone.....improve the spec specially camera....tq....

Vonarian

Price isn't correct.

zodiacfml

LOL. The three users below me pointed out the weakness. I don't know why ASUS is still weak in smartphones.

ram

OIS should be there in camera. don't provide dual cam without OIS. give single camera with OIS. It would be better.

AnonD-607550

No OIS no IP68, price now more than A5 2017 Nice ASUS make it worst

Are you seriously ? Snap 630 with 500 💶

Zenfone Zoom S its just another confusing name of Zenfone 3 Zoom. If you live in Indonesia/Thailand/Philippines its called Zenfone Zoom S. I dont know about ASUS SC quality on another countries but here in Indonesia ASUS will give you a new one.

ASUS WHAT ABOUT WHITE LINE PROBLEM IN DISPLAY & ANTENNA PROBLEM IN ZENFONE 3 ZOOM u can go to the topic of this site & read the comments of users there is no fix & asus do not say anything about these problems

Better get Huawei P10 for that kind of cash.

how many different variations of one phone can a company make? I get they want market share, but they should achieve that through multiple price points. Not having a selfie version, a pro selfie version, a zoom and a max. Like seriously, Asus.

AnonD-598396

all of specifications of asus almost as the same as of models of 1 years ago with just a little changes BUT SHARP HAVE INNOVATION look at the display of AQUOS S2 1080 x 2040 pixels display with 87.5% screen-to-body ratio even more than GALAXY S8 SERIES

just like specifications of sharp aquos s2 but sharp have another version with sd660 sharp have better price, lower than asus & better camera

Asus is giving off some serious Samsung vibes with the new clock and wallpapers in the new ZenUI. I like it.

Lol Honor 9 design rip-off

it is the same thing with some minor tweak.. i am starting to hate asus.. bought zenfone 2 deluxe back then, it was a flagship phone.. in just a few months notice most of people using the same phone.. after checking out, found out that basically most of their phone is similar with one or two minor tweak.. I dont feel worth it paying so big money, then other spend less to have similar physical appearnce of phone

Overpriced, 40% of the phone price goes to the marketing and Gong Yoo. I am disappointed.

This phone is kind of pointless. The Zenfone 3 Zoom has basically the same SoC and most other specs but with bigger battery and lower price tag.

What, no OIS, and huge bezels again? :O

If that 500 € for a midrange device with only SD 630 is correct, it's a massive rip-off.
