At the opening of the Taipei Computer Show, Asustek preemptively released its ZenFone 3 mobile phone series, which is also the flagship product of Asustek in the mobile phone market this year. These are ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3 Ultra. The three ZenFone mobile phones all have obvious positioning. The overall price of 299 US dollars ZenFone 3 is quite suitable for mass users. Although the price of ZenFone 3 Deluxe is 499 US dollars, the price is high. A lot of ZenFone 3, but it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 + 6GB RAM, and IMX318 + optical image stabilization, the price is very outstanding, and ZenFone 3 Ultra 6.8-inch large screen is for the big screen enthusiasts born.
Appearance, ZenFone 3 uses a glass + metal + glass design, the front and rear panels of the phone are 2.5D Corning glass, the middle part is a metal material, the back of the camera slightly protruding, the left side of the camera is a laser focusing module, the right is a two-color Warm flash, light up the screen to see the black border of the screen.
In terms of configuration, ZenFone 3 uses a 5.5-inch 1080P IPS screen, SoC is Xiaolong 625 (with Samsung Galaxy C7), 4GB RAM+64GB ROM, rear camera 16 million pixels (sensor model is unknown, with laser focus Module, support phase focus), front 800 million pixels, battery capacity 3000mAh, support for back fingerprint identification, equipped with a USB Type-C interface, the machine screen accounted for 77.3%, priced at 299 US dollars.
After I got started with ZenFone 3, the first impression was that it might be the best cell phone for the ZenFone mobile phone series. The right size, double-sided 2.5D glass + metal middle frame design, the back of the camera, laser module, flash and fingerprint recognition harmony Symmetrically, but it is a pity that the black side of the circle after lighting the screen is in the ointment. The camera configuration is not high, but in the face of 1080P resolution, such specifications are sufficient.
In terms of appearance, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe uses aerospace aluminum alloy body molding, strong metal, curved back convex, hidden antenna design, and the design of the camera part is similar to ZenFone 3.
The configuration, ZenFone 3 Deluxe uses a 5.7-inch 1080P AMOLED screen, SoC is Xiaolong 820, 6GB RAM +256GB ROM, rear camera is 23 million pixels (sensor type: IMX318 1/2.6 1μm, equipped with optical image stabilization, The laser focusing module supports phase focus, with 8 million pixels in front, 3000mAh battery capacity, back fingerprint recognition, Qualcomm 3.0 flash, and USB Type-C interface, priced at $499.
Although the price of ZenFone 3 Deluxe is much higher than that of ZenFone 3, in terms of this configuration, its price/performance ratio is more prominent. Like most flagship phones on the market, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, but it features the first Sony IMX318 sensor and optical anti-shake. It's a good grip, I use the Nexus 6P, iPhone 6 Plus and its contrast camera site, due to the high pixels, ZenFone 3 Deluxe has a natural advantage in terms of resolving power, but compared Nexus 6P, iPhone 6 Plus, it The weak light focus seems a little weak, the scene has several failures of autofocus (difficult focus), manual contrast focus is normal, and its edge resolution is not enough, the edge of the details of performance even less than 12 million pixels Nexus 6P, loved to follow up on the ZenFone 3 Deluxe camera part of the detailed evaluation, please pay attention. (Note: The ZenFone 3 series of engineering prototypes are displayed this time. The performance of the production version may be different.)
In terms of appearance, the ZenFone 3 Ultra is a one-piece all-metal body with a strong metal feel, hidden antenna design, and a slightly convex camera.
In terms of configuration, ZenFone 3 Deluxe uses a 6.8-inch 1080P IPS screen, combined with True2Life+ technology. The biggest feature of this screen is the built-in image processing engine that the TV will have. The SoC is Xiaolong 652, 4GB RAM+128 GB. , Rear camera is 23 million pixels (sensor type: IMX318 1/2.6 1μm, equipped with optical image stabilization, laser focus module, support for phase focus), front 8 million pixels, dual speaker design, battery capacity of 4600mAh, support Fingerprint recognition, Qualcomm 3.0 fast, can be used as mobile power for other mobile phone charging, equipped with a USB Type-C interface, priced at 479 US dollars.
Compared with the first two, the ZenFone 3 Ultra is obviously for big screen enthusiasts. It gives the impression that the author is "bigger than big." The 6.8-inch cell phone is more than just a face, and the entire head is invisible! The possibility of one-handed manipulation is almost zero, and the SoC of the Nine Dragons 652 has no pressure to use the 1080P screen. In appearance design, I prefer the first two.
