Hey y'all!
Remember my previous unboxing post of the Zenfone 3?
Remember my previous unboxing post of the Zenfone 3?
Well...today I'll be doing a full review of the Zenphone 3!!
DESIGN
First thing about the phone... it's the design.
The Asus ZenFone3 is all about sophistication, sleek, and elegant.
Just like the name 'Zen' implies, the design is also inspired by the beauty of nature and the Zen spirit. The Asus Zenfone 3 has a 6.16 slim metal frame and I just love how the edges aren't too sharp thanks to the diamond-cut chamfer and weighing only 155g - it makes it very comfortable to hold.
The front and back of the phone has a 2.5D contoured corning gorilla glass - making this baby scratch resistant! I mean...we are all guilty of dropping our phones (like me) so having a scratch-resistant phone is like a dream come true!
If you're wondering the color range - they have 3 colors in Singapore!
This includes Moonlight White, Shimmer Gold, and Sapphire Black.
Wish Aqua Blue was in Singapore too...
VIDEO
This phone has an awesome 5.5-inch display with 1920 x 1080 FULL HD Resolution and up to 600nits brightness level for optimal viewing pleasure in any condition. The ultra-slim 2.1mm bezel and amazing 77.3% screen-to-body ratio means more display and less bulk - what a dream!
AUDIO
Don't let this slim body fool you...since this baby packs a BIG SOUND!
As for the audio, the SonicMaster 3.0 technology provides more volume, quality, and effects!
The new 5-Magnet Speakers are powered with the NXP Smart AMP for an high volume output!
With the 5-Magnet speakers..
- louder volume by up to 140%
- extends low-frequencies by up to 17%
- Improves lower degree of distortion by 42%
With the NXP Smart AMP...
- 24-bit/192kHZ (4x CD quality)This means that you get a surround sound experience (7.1 Virtual Surround Sound) like never before! If you're wondering, "what's the point of having great audio if the phone earphones is bad?".
THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE WRONG!!
The DTS Headphone:X™: is designed to work with any set of headphones and when you plug it in...you'll feel like you're in a studio!
The ZenFone 3 is also able to make the most advance VoLTE (voice over LTE) with the Noise Reduction (NR) enhancement.
CAMERA
Asus Zenfone 3 takes your camera photography to the NEXT LEVEL with the PixelMaster 3.0!
With the 16MP camera with the latest Sony® IMX298 sensor, six-element Largan lens with a large
f/2.0 aperture, and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for variable distance and
lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds - no one can mock you for taking photos with 'just a phone'.
What's great is that the camera is protected by sapphire glass for crystal
clarity that’s intensely resistant to scratches and damage.
Did I also mention that you can also record 4K videos too?
Hate getting blurry pics? Fear no more!!
The four-axis optical image stabilizer (OIS) senses helps to stabilize the photos you take!
The three-axis electronic image stabilizer (EIS) helps to stabilize your videos!
What I LOVE about the Asus ZenFone 3 is...THE FRONT CAMERA!!
The 8MP PixelMaster Camera with HDR/Lowlight Selfie AND beauty function is everything!!!
You can add blush to your face, brighten your face, create a sharper V Shape, enlarge your eyes, and adjust your skin-tone.
Who needs photoshop if you have this phone!!
Love take flatlays and product shots using this phone.
The photos looks just like the actual item - thanks to the deep trench isolation technology.
This helps to prevent the photos of light from leaking from one pixel on the sensor to another, resulting in clearer details.
Check out the photo!
The ZenFone 3 camera also includes 20 camera modes!
With these many modes, it's just like a professional camera!
Here's one of the modes the phone includes. Filters!
So pretty right?
The Asus ZenFone3 also has all kinds of apps to help you out!
One of the apps include MiniMovie! This app helps to create a short video using your photos/videos.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
I am SO impressed with the Asus ZenFone 3 rear fingerprint sensor!! The positioning is PERFECT since it's positioned where you're holding the phone AND it reads your fingerprint in just 0.2 seconds!
It allows up to 5 fingerprints to be recognized so what I do is to register both my left and right hand's pointing finger!
As you can tell, Asus ZenFone 3 isn't just a beauty, this phone got the brains too!
This baby includes a 64-bit, 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon™ 625 processor, 4GB memory, 3000 mAh battery, and desktop-grade Adreno™ 506 graphics
performance. The processor also includes a revolutionary 14nm Fin Field Effect Transistors with 35% lower
power consumption, 300Mbps 4G LTE and reversible USB-C. This means...accelerated charging, no hassle when you're trying to charge your phone (since it's reversible), and you're phone won't die quickly!
Finally the Asus ZenFone 3 has a new interface (ZenUI 3.0) with added intelligence to enhance your mobile experience. This includes the game genie, themes, minimovie, and mobile manager.
I love the theme app since I get to prettify my phone and they update new designs pretty often!
You get to personalize your phone how you want...how great is that?
FINAL THOUGHTS?
I'm not the biggest tech person but from what I experience playing around with the phone and from a blogger/camho's point of view...this is an awesome phone!
The only thing that bums me down is that there's not that many 3rd party phone covers available for the Asus series - like Disney, San-X, etc. Besides that... there's literally nothing to dislike!
Hope y'all enjoyed this review!
