Camera is quite good and is much better than Mate8, MiMax but is not in the class of say Note7, S7e, LG V10. Even lowlight shots I rate it as above average. Snapping is close to immediate
I deemed it good enough for my usage : for sharing on FB, whatsapp
I would say most casual users will not be unhappy with its camera shots quality
However i will rarely used its camera as this phablet is mainly for entertainment purposes. For my daily phablet it will be my MiMax and at times Note7 or A9 Pro

Some sample photos would be nice.

Best battery life I had experienced to date s Samsung A9pro with SD652 chip n 5000mAh : SOT 13-14 hours vs 9-10 on ZF3ultra, 10-11 on Mate8 n 11-12 on MiMax
*
Is the A9Pro camera better than Ultra?

Looks like the price for Zenfone 3 Deluxe won't be as high as Note 7 if you buy from Superbuy.my .

That is the standard version with snapdragon 820
The one with snapdragon 821 and 256g of storage cost RM3299

Well from what I read people complain about it unfair price compare to Note 7, that uses a 820 proc, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage.

Zenfone 3 Deluxe is 821, 6GB RAM, and 256GB Storage.

Brand loyalty can quickly change. Look at Nokia.

2 weeks using the Zenfone3 Ultra

So only 2 things that bothered him.

1. Volume button
2. Size

I think many can get over this.

Does SOT of 9-10 hours translate to 1 day and a half?
Sorry as I don't have adequate knowledge on SOT..

I think it means your phone screen always on, can last 9-10 hours.

so, basically it means that you use your phone actively for 9-10 hrs. whether it's playing games, surfing /k, watching videos, social networking... etc.
however mileage will vary as each activity consume battery differently. surfing the web on wifi is different than on mobile data, with wifi tend to be more efficient. watching movie, especially those full of dark scenes, will also tend to be lower consumption than mobile surfing (usually web pages have white background)... these are not always the case though, as physical technology (screen, modem, SOC, etc.) can make the consumption rate differ also...

There is no clear specific benchmark for SOT. So 9-10 hours will be different depending on what you do. Pretty sure if you Pokemon Go the SOT will maybe go down to 4-5 hours compared to its normal operation.

After thinking throughout the week, I am now a proud owner of the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra.

Almost went with Samsung Note 7. I must thank my lucky star that the unit was out of stock so I don't have to go through that battery recall debacle.

Using this BIG phablet as an alternative to Note 7 or even MIMax ( from another users) ? I hope this phablet fits well into your pocket
I only use this phablet as a mini tablet for videos, browsing , youtube etc and not as a daily working gadget
I must say I am very impressed with it as an entertainment gadget

I use a man purse.

Very nice. Did you have to do a fullwipe? Or everything is still in place?
*
No wipe, just simply download & install. For good measure I power off and on again. So far so good.
