I used Zenfone 3 5.5inch version for few weeks dy, i can say this phone is very good !

Battery can last for 12 hours with few hours gaming and social (messenger, whatapps and etc.

I was a former Zenfone 5 user and overall i felt satisfied with this Zenfone 3 especially battery. No need to use power bank dy thumbup.gif

I was on Asus online chat just now because I have a problem with my Zenfone 3 5.2in.  The problem was that the camera app will start by itself, it started 4 times while I was with Asus online chat.  Since i brought the Zenfone 3 the camera app has started by itself many times.  I wonder if i did press the camera app shortcut key without realising it, so I asked Asus chat if there is a camera app shortcut key. 

He did some checking and told me to walk in to the nearest service centre to downgrade my Zenfone 3 OS (Marshmallow 6.0).  He said that this is because a lot of users have reported bugs affecting their phone.  My Zenfone 3 is android 6.0.1 and I am very sure that the OS that came with the phone is 6.0.

I asked him which version the downgrade will be, he told me to check with the technician at the service centre.

So have any of you Asus Zenfone 3 owners came across such advise, to downgrade the OS that came with the phone to a lower version?  So is Asus releasing their Zenfone 3 with a buggy OS?

I do not think so because i do not face the problems u mentioned. Probably faulty unit, try claim warranty.

Oh, typically I will usage just like your wife if I purchase this device. Won't be play games, coz will reduce the lifespan battery and devices too.

What about the SIM Slot card? Is it 1st SIM Slot can put microSIM while another Slot 2 either nanoSIM or microSD?
Kinda very trouble need to cut/replace the SIM card (if zenfone 3 gonna to nanoSIM) due to the cost and also hard to change back from nanoSIM to microSIM.
*
If u want to use two sim cards u have to sacrifice the sim card 2 slot, this is what i dislike but seems that most phones have this trend now.

FYI, i went to Maxis shop just to make Sim card replacement because my 2nd sim card wont fit unsure.gif
Anyway, just RM10 xD

Ya, I know. If want to put Sim card on slot 2, need to sacrifice the memory card.

But want to know is it the sim slot 1 is micro sim or nano SIM? I want to put the DG simcard in sim slot 1 if the device sim slot suuport microSIM, while my maxis put in sim slot 2 which this device support nanoSIM.

Yes, I hv this exactly maxis simcard all in one.. But the only first telco in Malaysia implement this tri-cut.

Hope other telco can implement it as soon as possible..

Sim 1 Micro,

Oh, that's great..
I heard that snapdragon processor make the device drain battery, that's why scare buy this device and need to charge 2 times per day..
*
I personally tested, if u just are use for surf internet and social apps without gaming, it can last longer.

However, if u are heavy usage person, you still need to charge twice per day la, most smartphones nowadays also need to charge at-least once per day and once before you sleep lol hahaha..

I used Zenfone 5 before, under heavy usage need to charge three times.

Anyway, Zenfone 3 i used from 8am until 8pm with some gaming left 20% only doh.gif

FYi, i havent try with Pokemon Go yet but so far i only tried with Need For Speed No Limit and SimCity Build It.

Guys

Whats the best deal to get the 5.2" and if there's any particular batch to be avoided?
*
i'm using the 5.5 inch one which is very good.

Get from ASUS Store, most reliable thumbup.gif

For me, i get from my trusted seller.


According to my friend, so far 5.2inch dun have any problems but imported set from overseas is hard to say.
My Sis accidently bought an imported set Zenfone 2, within one week already got problem mad.gif


I am not saying imported set is not good but based on my experience, imported set ones usually have problems rclxub.gif

For those who plan to buy Zenfone 3, i can say this is a good phone for mid range. I know some will say expansive but in term of quality it is good (Not applicable to Imported Set).

ASUS phone have this "Auto-Start manager" which is very useful but other phones do not have this feature, correct me if there is other brand have this feature xD This is why i pick ASUS because i installed a lot of apps/games thumbup.gif

I think they will drop the price because new XiaoMi is launched =O



By the way, anyone here bought Deluxe version with SD821? is it good?

Of course got Auto-start manager. Every China phone also got auto-start manager ranging from Xiaomi to others.

Unfortunately Zenfone 3 is using low end processor for midrange price. They should at least use SD652. But no. They rather use crappy processor like SD625.
*
but not really effective as zenfone one mah my friend and not all have la xD

By the way Zenfone Ultra SD652 and Redmi Note 3 is SD 650 different wor doh.gif

SD625 is consider the best among the mid range doh.gif

However i do agree that Asus should use SD 652 to win this market but mid range nowadays all use SD625 la,
i think u come here to kacau one, everything also crappy then which one is the best for u? xD

Please i need those who really used Zenfone 3 Deluxe give some opinions.
