Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3 - User Reviews

  • My mobile ASUS ZenFone Pegasus 3 not show system update option Plz solve this problem

  • I'm having problem with battery draining very fast with asus pegasus 3. I had to charge twice a day now. It was good for almost a year. Perhaps firmware issue?? I've notice after updated to android 7.0.. my battery is like 1000mah only ..

  • I've had this phone for 2 years. Absolutely brilliant phone for it's price range. There are small issues with this phone in terms of performance, but honestly, for the price you pay it is almost unbeatable. 2 years on and the battery is still as strong as ever, I only charge the phone every second day and this is with full use. Asus has done well with this device.

  • extremely difficult to use there is NO assistance or help, every time i try to connect to laptop driver disappear & are impossible to find

  • Facebook will always be sluggish on just any phone. It occupies too much RAM and never cleans it on it's own. Try swiping your RAM free before using Facebook and if that doesn't work, there's another official Facebook app called Facebook Lite that doesn't occupy so much of the phone's resources when used. The third option would be to go through your phone's browser.

  • This phone to me is so nice....

  • Please help me. Browsing on my x008 phone is very sluggish; facebook especially doesn't respond. But browsing is ok on pc or other devices when I tether from my x008 to those devices. I have tried several settings but no change. Browsing on the phone is also ok if I tether from another device and open the wifi on my x008.

  • Ill have you know, this fone has made my days easier with its output, the touch features are great. But the fact that the whole front is full glass is a bit tricky, Once i dropped the pfone, it cracked on where the brand name is, but never the screen. However, even with a casing and a screen protector, after two months, ill have you know an old wound has opened again and made worse. Tl;dr: I have a screen protector, but the screen broke instead of the protector. STILL A GOOD PHONE THOUGH

  • Mine is still working in perfect condition.. Why? what happened to your phone?

  • why my asus zenfone pegasus 3 doesn't have play store?

  • Please who is still using the phone till date? Does it have any issues?

  • Camera - 8/10 Battery - 12/10 Gaming Specs - 8/10 Android #7 is now available for this phone and it has optimized the device. OVERALL 9/10 :)

  • just crushed in under 2 months.... so disappointing

  • please any help, my chager head got burnt by mistake. and now my phone is down for three days. i have charged it for over five hours yet still can't on. i need help.

  • realy nice phone. i'av been using it and no complications

  • Guys did got any trouble about camera after update nougat?(7.0) i cant take picture

  • I have used few models of smartphone from samsung, lenovo, oppo, asus, and vivo... But this is my fav so far.. Good battery performance.. Nice colour.. Just nice for a girl like me

  • ok when you decide to buy a smartphone you have to ask an expert or you have to be expert . thats why you have not to take all these reviews in serious . i bought this phone and am using it now i cant say any thing bad its really a goog phone really a good phone and i want to mention that i have used more than 200 smartphone before . yeh its a good phone battery is the best one colours so clear camera is good option of the phone are smart the only thing to be blamed is asus has to exploit the whole phone screen

  • I purchased from aliexpress pegasus 3. Can't upadate zen ui. Slow. Is there any way android updates available?

  • Hi ! To upgrade your phone firmware, go to: your phone settings >> About >> System Update >> Check if there are new updates...that's it...the system will automatically search if there are any

  • First Asus I got.Don't reccomend it in anyway. When someone calls and the display is off it won't let you answer unless you hit the display button at least three times. Sound is very poor and the volume is pretty low.Only good function is the battery which will last a full day. I've had some bad phones before but this is by far the worst phone I've had.Total dissapointment. Not worth a dime.

  • How to upgrade system software in Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3?

  • Make sure that you enable the 4G feature of the phone. Or else, check if you're area is 4G capable.

  • i recived this mobile yesterday, i have big problem with the 4g connection. smb knows how to fix ? pls help

  • unable to view contents of folders on pc. icons show amount of space left but folders are empty when right clicked & properties shown possible android or general software also win7 pc does not pick up usb driver. not very user friendly

  • I want to buy this mobile phone. but,is this available in Philippines already??

  • Is asus Pegasus 3 and asus zenfone 3 max is the same??? I check the specification of the both phone then I realized that It's almost the same.

  • My Pegasus 3 calibration just got broken. How do I get it fixed.

  • i have a question brothers.. this phone support dual standby?

  • Don't buy this junk. Even zenfone 2 has better performance..some installed apps even not running.

  • Don't buy this junk. Even zenfone 2 has better performance..some installed apps even not running.

The icon for the mobile is appearing on my PC, however when clicking on it to open the folders nothing is happening. Thank you in anticipation.

  • Who bought the phone from aliexpress? I want to know which seller the person used.

  • I bought asus x008 and i cant sync my contacts from my google acount, can somebody help me pls ?

  • Will the phone receive android 7 update?

  • Will the phone receive android nougat update?

  • It has both

  • hi everyone i plan to buy this phone but i have one question can i put a micro sim or i need a nano one ?

  • Yes I have it for two weeks now, very happy with performance, beautiful design, surprisingly good screen. Only 1.3gHz but plenty quick enough for me, no hanging or freezing. Best option is the 32/3gb version, the 16GB version is crippled with 8gb of factory systems usage.

  • Yes you can insert sd memory card in sim card position No.2. or just run with two sims,

  • I have 32gb version and 'factory operating systems etc take up around 8gb! So if you have a 16 gb version, you only have around 8 gb to play with and as you cannot move apps to the sd card, you need to be judicious which apps you download. You can move photograps and data to sd card but not apps. Recommend spending a little more and get the 32gb version and you also get 3gb of ram instead of only 2 with the 16gb version.

  • Not quite true. I also have OnePlus 3 with Android 6.0 and can move apps to sd card. I asked Asus support about the issue and they said "Sorry, Pegasus 3 does not support moving apps"

  • its not asus fault that u cant move apps to sd card. its from android 6 this new and stupid thing

  • Hey guys serious question here, how much free storage space left on 16GB version? I know it could be less (actually always like that) but I need to make sure first, as I'm gonna need more than 10GB to store my files

  • I bought the Pegasus 3 X008 via AliExpress.. Ive had the Intel Zenfone 5 and the Snapdragon Zenfone 2, I was a little anxious about the Pegasus with the MTK processor as I had a disaster with the Sony Xperia M5 with MTK processor, but at AU$189 I thought if it was rubbish then it was not too much to lose. I read all the reviews and was only put off by the 720 display. However when I got the phone, not only was the metal body and quality of design so much better than the older plastic Zenfones I was happily pleased to find that the display was very, very good, in fact better than the display of my LG G3 as far as richness of colours and brightness. The MTK processor runs fast and smoothly for nerly all my needs, but I am not a 'gamer'. One serious disappointment was that after buying and putting in a 32GB sd memory card into the 2nd sim card location I was really 'pissed' to find that this Pegasus does not permit the moving of apps to the SD card, only photos, music/data. As a big user of apps I find this lack of facility a big mistake by Asus, The only redeeming factor is that I purchased the 32GB internal memory version. Had I bought the 16GB I would really, really have been more disappointed. The sound is rather 'tinny' but with good volume.... the FM radio was a welcome surprise and through earphones the music is great, but through the speaker... rather 'Ho-Hum' and as I said, the tone is 'thin' and tinny, far worse than the original Zenfone 5 of a couple of years ago, but of course its only AU$189 + shipping, as there is no outlet to buy Zenfones in Australia, despite there being a national service network for Asus computers/tablets.... go figure?? The 5.2" size screen is just right, the overall size is good and slips into my shirt pocket easily without threatening to fall out and proceed to immediate death on the road below! All in all, a good practical phone, at a very good price (shop around). a very recent release (June 2016) , well made and very attractive. So far I am impressed with this mid range handset,

  • If you guys are looking for affordable phone with a great specs, you should see this one, though some phone have a higher specs, the name ASUS still above when it comes to alcatel flash plus 2 or lenovo (midrange units)

  • I have the same issue before but after completing the update, my phone was rejuvinated. hahaha.. JK..

  • How to active fingerprint feature at this phone, i cant find this at my phone, sucks

  • It is not a good phone. Mobile contact can't access google contact and there is no contact option in google account in this phone.

  • This is now called ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL outside Chinese markets.

  • it has gyro sensor???

  • do not give hybrid dual SIM options

  • i need 360 degree full protection cover case, ple help me to buy..

  • I’m facing the same issue, too.

  • I'm using it personally and it is really good in terms of everything. The only problem which I’m facing is the system update. It is giving error and I have to restart my phone again.

  • please help brand new and update android error

  • I just bought it last night and now it's not working. :( hang problem

  • Does anyone have it right now? I was wondering if it is good or not. PLS REPLY :)

  • battery capacity of this makes it heavy

  • redmi note 3 or 4 would be better for battery zenfone 3 is also nice

  • Yes I wnt knw same thing...

  • This phone is huge and heavy for a 5.2 inch display. The Xiaomi Mi5 with its almost identical sized display (5.15) weighs only 129 grams vs 158.4 for this Asus. The newly announced Huawei Honor 8 is only 71mm wide vs this Asus at 73.5 mm. The height of the Honor 8 is 145.5 while the Asus is 149.5 mm. Great battery, however, but poor display - 720 vs 1080 for the Honor 8. The Asus would have to be really inexpensive to put up with these deficiencies.

  • Asus zenfone 3 is better option.

  • Thats not an option if u pushed to just have one slot sim card. I agreed that its just make the limit

  • this phone is zenfone 3 max

  • i was having s7 edge and i like it but i got bored i change to xiaomi its good but battery gone fast and i want to buy now asus pegasus 3 or asus zenfone 3 which one u advice me to buy for longer use and perfect power

  • it's not a limit, it's just an option, you already have Sim 1 to operate, 16GB of internal is enough for people who knows how to manage the files in their phone unlike people who keeps taking pictures, putting movies in the phone and installing new apps without taking out the ones that they are not using

  • Why should i sacrifice my sim slot for a memory and my memory for a sim. This is not maximizing but creating your own limit.

  • Why should i sacrifice my sim slot for a memory and my memory for a sim. This is not maximizing but creating your own limit.

  • Quadcore for a 3gigs of ram? I thought it will be an octacore like a k5 note

  • Why is battery non-removable?????

  • It uses mtk6737

  • i used zenphone 5 and zenphone 2lezor but specker system is very poor need to develop. zenphone pegasus 3 specker is backside i thing this is disadventage

  • For that phone don"t have fast charging?Haizzzzz

  • Is not all the asus phone are bad...some of their phone still can be acceptable also...such as zenfone 2 deluxe...

  • Why asus zenfone5 has no more update version please fix it

  • Zenfone are the best, but its time to mede one waterproof zenfone...¬¬

  • Li-Ion

  • Well, it wouldn't. You can get SD650 for 160Eur.

  • Oh Come on, Why 5MP Front cam ? At least 8MP

  • 4100 mah Li-ion or li-po ????

  • Please let it be powered by a SD650. For about 200-250$ the phone would kill any rivals in its range.

  • sound like a great device for battery life - 4100 mah, 720p display.... also come with Marshmallow and nice price tag :) .

  • You would be surprised at how little good or okay phones they are capable of making.

  • What is going on with ASUS, size of this phone is massive (149.5 x 73.7 x 8.6 mm). Look at the LG G3, 2014 flagship with dimensions 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm and 5.5" screen. Don't understand why they put 5.2 inch phone in the box like that?

  • Soooooo what's the processor like? It only says 1.3ghz quad-core.

  • don't underestimate Asus even tho most of their phones are bad :)

  • Woah 4100 mah ? srsly
