Affordable Asus ZenFone 3 is too good for wallet-watchers to pass up (review)

A premium design and high quality materials make this a brilliant, affordable phone.

Asus' latest ZenFone 3 packs a premium design and materials into a brilliant, affordable phone.

Its cluttered user interface nags you with notifications until you turn them off. The glass rear is also a fingerprint magnet.

The ZenFone 3's beautiful looks, premium build and satisfying camera give it an advantage over other inexpensive phones -- it's worth your time and attention.

Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe Z016D Review: Capable Flagship Bogged Down By The Hefty Price

Asus is no longer content with being looked upon as a budget smartphone brand and its new Zenfone 3 lineup has been designed and positioned to refute the cheap smartphone image. The Taiwanese smartphone maker wants to be seen on the same pedestal as...

Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe Review

A couple of months back, Asus took it upon itself to introduce a slew of new devices under the Zenfone moniker. Since then we've reviewed the mainstream Zenfone 3 , the battery centric Zenfone 3 Max , the absolutely massive Zenfone 3 Ultra and even the...

Design ; Hardware

Software ; Lack of refinement

Asus has improved a lot with this generation of Zenfone devices. The Zenfone 3 Deluxe in particular represents their foray into the flagship segment and truth be told, it is a pretty good attempt too. Unfortunately the competition is way too far ahead...

ASUS Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL Review

Once again it is time for yet another Asus Zenfone . The number of variants that the Taiwanese giant pushes out is perhaps second only to Samsung. For the most part, the company has focussed on meaningful differentiation with the Laser and Max series...

Ergonomics ; Battery Life

Camera ; Average Specifications ; Bloat

The Zenfone 3 Max is quite a decent smartphone and this is something that can be said for the entire Zenfone range. It however lacks a differentiating factor. In fact even within it’s own product lineup, Asus would find it hard to set the Max aside...

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser ZC551KL Review

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser (ZC551KL) specifications

Priced at close to Rs. 19,999, it is really hard to make a case for the Zenfone 3 Laser. Sure, the phone isn’t all too bad but similar phones can be had for well less than half the price that Asus is commanding.

Excellent camera ; Long-lasting battery life ; Large internal storage

Too much bloatware ; Underwhelming processing power ; Bland design
