Hi, mine was the 5.2" Zenfone 3, and already updated to Android 7.0 Nougat.
There are temporary instability as of my experience but not that lingers after a quick restart. Rarely happen by the way.

So far i never encounter any issue after Nougat Update.

Another small update yesterday for ze553kl..Judging for all 3 small updates in a month,look like nougat is so far away

thanks hope it can solve my auto restart problem

thanks for help.

after restart the problem gone.

Now using it on 4th day after single charge....

You're welcome
I'm enjoying the battery life too. From the way I use my phone, it'll easily last 2 full days.
I wonder how great the battery life for Zenfone 3 Zoom would be with more than twice the battery size.

yes, i am using zoom 3, now on 4th day battery left 15%, still can last 10-12 hours based on the battery app.

Great to hear that.

For the other audience, here is another Zenfone 3 Zoom review from a Malaysian site.

I have zenfone 3 5.2inch version. I like this phone very much, solid build and solid battery life for me. However, there is a problem that I've noticed since i bought it. The camera have flickering issue. I know the stock camera apps have no problem, since it can adjust the frequency, but the problem comes when using third party apps like whatsapp, insta and so on... And the issue appeared during nighttime when lights on. I know it is a power source issue, but anyone have any solutions for it?

Well, for now, probably need to capture the image using built-in camera app before using that image for 3rd Party apps.

Hi Jackson and rest of Zenfone 3 owners,

I'm interested in Zenfone 3 ZE520KL and have a few questions as below as the price had drop to my budget level RM1k and below:
a) What is the average SOT of ZE520KL? Battery only 2650mAH
b) Does it have dual app for Whatsapp, etc?
c) Have anyone tried & able to use those SIM/MicroSd extender so that we can use all both sims together with microsd?


Appreciate your replies.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

zenfone 3 zoom user reported here, so far the phone is quite smooth although using snapdragon 652. I didnt play games but heavily using social media like whatsapps and wechat for work and waze everyday. All in all it is really suitable for heavy user like me because of the beast 5000mAH battery! Camera is ok ok, not very impressive but acceptable. Btw my previous phone was Samsung Note 5.

a) What is the average SOT of ZE520KL? Battery only 2650mAH
Well, I manage to get 5 to 6 hours solid with medium usage, mainly youtube and facebook
b) Does it have dual app for Whatsapp, etc?
I didnt try before, I think it dont have that function.
c) Have anyone tried & able to use those SIM/MicroSd extender so that we can use all both sims together with microsd?
Havent try before also.

How's the camera compared to the Note 5 ?

a) What is the average SOT of ZE520KL? Battery only 2650mAH
::: Average SOT should be between 4-6 hours depending on what you're doing with the phone. Standby time is great too.
b) Does it have dual app for Whatsapp, etc?
::: Never tried it with any phone
c) Have anyone tried & able to use those SIM/MicroSd extender so that we can use all both sims together with microsd?
::: Never tried it with any phone

Gaming should be just fine, but probably won't be the smoothest experience with all games.
Great to know that battery life is awesome with the phone.

Is the camera comparable to the Note 5? And any screen on time figures you can share? Tqvm!

Thks Jackson n Mubarak. Appreciate your replies

item ( c ) - yes I have tried and it is working.
Have used it on ZF3 Utra and my wife's Samsung S7e, working fine.

You're welcome

The camera performance imo both are good in terms of sharpness, the colour i think zenfone 3 zoom is more natural.
