NO way I can wait for price drop. I'm using crappy Fonepad 7 temporary. My Note 2 already kaput, so waiting is not an option.

Also I only spot Zenfone 3, no Ultra.

I hope to receive my Ultra before Merdeka Day or by next week. Taiwan availability will be on 22 August from Asus Store Taiwan.

In India, the price comes around RM1,320.00

I guess Asus Malaysia fairly priced for Malaysia market? Satugadget sells it for RM1350.00.

Ultra will be available for collection by this Thursday.

I bought one asus zenfone 3 and I can safely say that it can handle your daily task whatsapp fb Instagram email clash royale need for speed with ease.

Battery life also not bad although I need to charge it at 5pm. Not an issue

The main issue is the normal charging rate. Not used to it anymore. Spoiled by my note 5 that supports quick charging huhu

Quite impressive I'd say. The actual truth will be actual user experience

5.5" variant come with Type C fast charging if not mistaken.

I bought the 5.2 inch asus zenfone 3

Type C but no fast charging. False ads by Asus Malaysia since Asus global doesn't mentioned it at all.

I'm amazed the lack of people in lowyat talking about this. This brand really not generating much interest?

Delay expected on local availability

Yup. Only for Ultra and deluxe. Standard zenfone 3 no fast charging.

Collected my ZF3 Ultra today together with the free 10000mAh powerbank and Asus selfie stick
Immediate impressions of it is very good
Will post more comments in days to come
