Waiting for Asus Zenfone 3 ULTRA ( 6.8 incher) to compare with this phablet
I am wondering whether this Zenfone model will be launched too on coming 6 Aug at KLCC

Would someone with this phone be kind enough to post a screenshot to confirm that it supports 4G/4G at the same time?

Where did you get such info ? At any one time only one sim can be 4g while the other is only 2g

Seems like the Lelong seller no more selling this P8 Max.. its like not any shop in malaysia selling this anymore.. now this become a rare gem

Take off the flip casing, using it naked for several days now, such a beauty device, feel premium to hold.. performance still never let me down.. still never hang.. even my Note 5 encounter hang 2-3 times i had to reboot.. duhh

This phablet is still the best bang for my buck.. cancel my intention to get mi max, as when i think back 6.8inch is the maximize screen for portable device to me, downgrade to 6.4 will be such a waste.. camera wise mi max suxx except using hdr mode.. p8max camera is not as good as note 5 but definitely ok for daily shooting. Overall spec and built is all ok, no gripe for the price i bought.. (for the original rrp which is around 2.5k i do find its not that worth la)

As i might not be getting note 7 (except i might be interested if the is blue coral color) hence P8max and Note 5 will be my companion this year

Well said. I am still sticking to P8 Max although I gotten 1 Mi Max. I still feel P8 Max is better. Updated to Android 6, so far I have not encounter any slowdown or hang. Everything work perfectly.

I might look at Honor Note 8. Not sure if this will come here. May look into getting China unit.

I might replace the p8max after getting the zenfone3 ultra ( 6.8 incher)
Will do preorder tomorrow at launch

Will ZenFone 3 Ultra be launch tomorrow. Wonder what is the price like..This is one model that I might consider but need to look at the actual unit first. It look good on paper but Asus didn't give me good impression on their phone.

I don't have good experiences too with Asus phone n tablets
That doesn't stop me from trying them again
Specs for the Ultra s good. Will only know pricing tomorrow
Guess it should b around rm2k?

the spec is good.. SD652 has been proven performs good.. but having midrange proc, i hope the price does not exceed 2k for the highest spec (Mi Max is the benchmark now).. only interested with the 128gb/4gb model, hope the price is right..

hope the 23mp camera can deliver promises, based on previous experience with asus, that was just numbers..

P8max vs ZF3u

Gorilla Glass 3 vs 4
4360mah vs 4600mah
Normal USB vs Type C (i'm not quite sure what is the advantage tho)
No fast charging vs fast charging

Highest ZF3u spec: higher ram and storage

Other than that, i think just a bunch of gimmicky features..

The spec is not day and night diff.. so less desire to go for it

Zenfone 3 ultra rrp rm2599?? Haha... Nope.. thanks

Ya i will skip that as well. Too expensive. I will get honor note 8 when i go over to bangkok at end year.

I don't mind paying for it
Wait for my comparison of it vs p8max
I had preorder it yesterday
When come to such stuffs I don't mind paying a premium if I wish to have it

Hollaaa fellas..

How many ppl still using this beast?

Still loving mine.. but anyone hv idea where to buy its accessories? Casing sp etc

Uncle, got your Zen Ultra dy?

Keen to hear your impressions between them.. i think almost sure that the zen ultra have many advantages over P8 max, but wondering how far it is to justify the price gap..P8 max (64gb) imported set currently selling at rm1750 vs. zen ultra rm2.5k

Try ebay
I will be selling off mine soon
The ZF3ultra is a so much better alternative vs it. Anyway this p8max is already close to a year old . The ZF3u beats it obviously in smoothness, speed, display, audio n video quality. Only issue I don't quite like on ZF3u is its location of vol buttons at back.

Haha.. wah.. simply beat it yeah..

How about the camera on ZF3u? Does it really live up to the spec?

On this P8 max, i don't hv any issue so far, never hang,it is capable to do any tasks from game to productivities, no gripe.. but when it come to photography, i still tend to refuse to snap pic using this, but rely on my note 5 instead.. lol.. so yeah, camera is one thing i hope it was better on this p8 max..

But this came from me who used to have S7 edge and sill having Note 5, coz i seen better camera.. as when my friend tested my p8 max camera, they said it is good enough..

Point is, want to use a big phablet like this as my main driver, but as for p8 max now, the camera makes me still hv to rely on my note 5.. (despite the s-pen)

As for display, wonder how ZF3u is better.. Coz in my opinion p8 max display is very good dy, even using it along with note 5, i dont find its display disappointing.. (i mean if use 2 phine with one display is far better than the other, its obvious and could be irritating, which is not the case here) thinking to go to asus outlet to see display set of ZF3u..

I managed to hold a ZF3u yesterday in Singapore, played with it for only a few mins. SGD778.

It is the same size as a Phab Plus, and looks very similar as well. UI looked pretty stock with a few Asus menu items, and fingerprint scanner is in the home button.

Nice feel to the phone, but wonder why they skipped NFC for a flagship?

I also wonder how USB-C to Displayport is going to work, since all TVs are HDMI. Not sure how many would have DP.

P9 max - an unattractive successor ?
