Yes, Malaysia set.

I googled and seems display issue with Asus phones is not a new problem.

Is it? There are up to 7 Asus phones around me, and only 2 have touchscreen problem. The screen is fine. But I do search the issue with the white line, and there are a number of people experiencing it on the web. But it would be so much easier if Asus' customer service were much nicer, more polite and more efficient.

So far did not have any issue with their customer service.... just the quality of the products

Me.
It's currently the only phone of its size with all the modern features. The only thing lacking is NFC for the pay apps.
All the newer phones from everyone else tops out at 6.4/6.44"

This size of screen is really good real estate.

Does it feel more like a tablet, or a phone? From your experience that is.

Yours is ZF3 Zoom? i noticed white line after a week bought it, delay after Raya holidays before sending to SC.
they took 3 days to repair and it was ok only for 3 days! then the white line is back.... and before it happens, i can see the line flickering before it became permanent.

Hi all sifu, plan to get Asus ZS550KL via lazada. But is there any issues of this model? Heard there is reception/signal issue since this model is full metal. Hope the owners of this model can provide some guidelines. Thx.

Yup, the line flickering before it became permanent.
Mine lasted about 2 weeks maybe before the problem came back.

Where is your white line located ? ... mine was at the extreme bottom side. So not obvious.
All my friends didn't notice it. Of course we the owner sure realize the problem.

at the bottom of the lcd...
the 2nd time is not so noticeable but still annoying....

I'm used to large devices, hence up to 7" it will still feel like a phone to me. My first Android was the Note 1 at 5.3"
Largest phablet I got was the 7" Mediapad and Mediapad X1.

Had the Tab S 8.4 as well but sold it off due to the poor battery life and intermittent lag.

I got a 10.1" Tab A6 for a little while but that was TOO large and inconvenient without a bag.

I'm thinking of selling off the ZF3 Ultra for a Lenovo Tab 4 Plus 8", when it becomes available. It has all the modern specs including USB-C and fingerprint sensor.

white line at asus zenfone 3 zoom below screen is common for batch 4/2017 only affect navy blue 4gb. manufacturing defect. second batch or batch from may 5/2017 above no more this problem. try and check your phone manufacturing date(I don't know to do it let me know) can check at youtube. not sure how people solve this problem. some use marker pen to padam the line. anyway the line is below the screen, it is still tolerable and the line is not that thick.

anyway I have been researching a lot about this phone because im thinking to buy it. it seems to have a fantastic camera with zoom (on youtube)at an awesome price. would you recommend me this phone base on its camera alone?

white line below is common for 1st batch or batch 4/2017 navy blue 4gb. batch 5/2017 above asus has rectify the problem it seems according to my reading. still the line is below the screen you can still ignore. hows the camera?

Nice. So, any thing that in your opinion should be better with the ZF3 Ultra?

I do think they'll only replace the screen, since it took quite some time.

Yeah... it's unacceptable... can't expected to use defective product

I didn't pay flagship level money for defective product.

Camera is great, of course not 100% on par with say S7 or S8.
But I like the features in the manual (some will call it Pro mode) where you can control everything yourself.

For me my main criteria was excellent camera with excellent battery life (5000mAh) without unnecessary stuff which I normally don't use like IP68 rating, NFC, wireless charging..

Dunno what they did, the first time, after I got the phone back... the problem seems solved, of course it came back... and now waiting for the 2nd repair.

If you're saying "better than", then I think for this size, nothing else comes close.
The last generation 6.8" devices were the Lenovo Phab and Phab Plus which sucked due to the SD615 processor, and for the current 2016 generation of devices, this is the only 6.8" which has everything except NFC.

The camera on the ZFU3 is pretty good, and I hope there are more 6.8" devices.

Great! I was looking forward to buy it for my dad, but the price really put my intention on hold

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is cheaper though, but not that sure on how it's rated. Alas, if the price isn't coming down soon enough, probably the Mi Max 2 would be the go to phone.

yeah its too bad. last time an honest shop keeper told me during nokia heydays....never buy the 1st batch....but that time nokia phone I didn't care because I know software upgrade will solve problem. but about the asus zenfone 3 zoom 1st batch problem being permanent....I don't know what to say. never happen to other phones without fix.Try reading at gsmarena many people replaced the phone 3 times after service problem pop up again. I hope you find a solution. But if I were you I ll live with it. if the line is in the middle of screen I might go mad. If you have money get a second batch asus. I'm thinking of getting one asus zenfone 3 zoom...such a remarkable phone

zenfone 4 price and spec leak

I thought it was launched yesterday?

The Zenfone 4 Max Pro doesn't seem to be very good though. I believe, the current 5.5" Zenfone 3 Max is a better buy overall.
