Extreme Power Efficiency = Snap 625 due to newer 14nm fab
Performance = Snap 650 (was known as 618) /652 (was known as 620) but "primitive" 28nm fab.

I would invest on Snap 625 for better battery backup. Sammy C7 already proven to be excellent in battery endurance test (Geekbench browser test). Same goes for Zen3.

But ASUS "Malaysia" is gambling the Ringgit too high. Gonna see LeMoto Vibe P2 pricing (should be cheaper than Zen3 5.5").

Later 10nm fab SoC in placed and we all regret to have 14nm fab SoC...

If you always "Poke" here, "Poke" there and "Poke" everywhere, get the Snap 625....



As shown above, even the Zen3 5.2" (2650mAh) beats the shit out the Redmi Note 3 (4000mAh)... Again, always look at the "nm" fab and not the Snap 6xx numbering....

Don't kid yourself by associating RN3 with inferior Asus Zenfone3 with its inferior cpu.

Zenfone 3 owners welcome to put your review in this threads

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4014102/+40

Thanks.

which one should be the official thread?

Much more have been discussed here, so I think just stick with this one.. too many threads will overlap the discussion I think.. furthermore this one is open earlier than the one mentioned..

Can see some S7 edge selling online for around RM2.3K to RM2.5K on places like Lazada, 11Street.

Which one is a better buy, the S7e or the ZF3 Deluxe with just 64 GB. Yes, the Asus comes with more RAM and Storage and slghtly bigger screen but Samsung comes with QHD, water proof and a better camera?

I'd prefer non edge version, personally... But between those two, I'd still go with Samsung

Easily Samsung

I was actually expecting you guys to say ZF3 since this is an Asus tread but suppose the truth hurts.

For same price, Samsung is a better buy

sure Samsung is my pick

but samsung is too mainstream

If the truth hurts, wait till you get poor sales...
Anyway, while I do think that Asus' Zenfone 3 lineup are great, their achilles' heel appear to be the awful price here in Malaysia.

Anyone have any idea when Zen 3 Deluxe would be available in Malaysia ?

Quote:
"Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe is priced starting at $499 (Rs 33,590 approx), Zenfone 3 at $249 (Rs 16,752 approx) and Zenfone 3 Ultra at $479 (Rs 32,217 approx). Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe is the flagship of the three."

There's no reason for ASUS "Malaysia" to jack-up the price in Ringgit. So, don't rush yourself... The price will drop sooner or later...

Hence, I am holding on to my money for now
Who knows, by the time ZF3 price come down there will be more interesting phones

My investment will be either Zf3 5.5" or LeMoto Vibe P2. Gotta have that 14nm SoC as my next guinea pig subject...Too many 28nm SoCs tested already...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro VS Asus Zenfone 3 - Redmi Note 3 Pro Win

Its obvious even from spec. LoL..

Crappy CPU at more than RM1.3k...lol

Very expensive in India

Yup. Around Rm1320 and that's ze520KL 3gb model. Asus is digging their own grave.
