just got zenfone 3 ze552kl from digi phone package. Totally worth it.

Build quality is really good. Flagship kinda quality. Super light too. I think if asus play their marketing cards right, they can surpass xiaomi in Malaysia. Right now, xiaomi is like doing badly. They have bad marketing, bad stock control, so-so build quality, lousy miui. Only reason mi is so popular is their cheap price. But what's the point if always no stock.

Personally, I prefer Asus's ZenUI. Eventhough it is laden with a few bloatwares, it does have a lot of features that miui does not have. Small small touches here and there that adds up to a better experience. But this is subjective so I am sure there are people who like miui more.

it is a minor upgrade from sd801 to 625. But if you are looking for other features like better camera or better build quality or new android marshmallow or just a fresh new phone then you can upgrade.

The 625 is a new SOC from qualcomm. Performance is slightly below 650. But very minimum. The ze552kl have 4gb ram whereas note 3 have 3gb. That's a bit of future proofing but really minor.

I own both ze552kl and note 3 and I have to say the ze552kl beats note3 in almost every aspect. I have not had a change to play games on ze552kl yet but I don't think it will differ much.

Then again, if you consider the pricing difference you will see note3 is half the price of ze552kl. If you have the budget, i would say go for ze552kl. You will love the phone more. But if you have to compromise for the cost then note 3 is not too bad.

But like I said in my post previously, if camera is important to you then stay away from note 3. It's camera is lousy.

oh yeah..552kl dont have fast charging.

anyone manage to find proper screen protector or tempered glass for ze552kl? I can't find proper one. The one selling is smaller size. that does not fit ze552kl properly. The bottom is like cut off somewhere between the capacitive touch buttons. Worst case is some of the SP sellers say it is "memang" like this. "No problem one". I was like!??!?! Imagine how ugly it will make this gorgeous phone.

err...any online store that I can order? Don't like to go LYP...too congested.

Google doesn't tell whether the screen protector is full screen or smaller size.
