1st impression, the screen look gorgeous and far nicer than previous ZenFone, white is white and not yellowish.

The phone look nice, solid and premium feel, big jump from previous ZenFone as well.

Interface is much cleaner and nicer than before and much snappy.

I forgot test the speaker and camera, can't comment on that.

The UI of the ZenFone 3 deluxe is big, is that anyway to scale it to allow more content to be displayed?

Use Nova launcher and you can set it to maximum 12x12 grid size on desktop
I am using 7x5 on my ZF3Ultra

Is not talking about the launcher or home screen grid size, I'm talking about the system wide UI.

Try changing font size to small in settings/display ?

No go ...just smaller font size.

Can't decide either Zenfone 3 ultra or Honor 8 note. Mainly need large screen with good camera.

I'm planning to buy 1 too, mind sharing how much is the selling price?

From DirectD, RM3299

just got the ZF3 SD821 and it isnt impressive.
day 1 :
Pros:
- fast (obviously since its 821 and 6GB)
- audio is good
- big storage
- bluetooth was fast in detecting wireless devices
- charges pretty fast

CONS:
- camera app kept on crashing and i could only use it once i restarted the phone
- low light is erm, 'meh'
- camera picture quality is not as i expected (note 7 was waaaaay better)
- battery life is average
- fingerprint sensor isn't very responsive
- had a lot of difficulty detecting my SD card (using SanDisk 200GB card)
- NFC has trouble detecting devices
