I had very clearly set out in other posts at list of things that were relevant in selecting a phone. I'm delighted that people have found other phones that suit them. People tend to believe bad news more than well reference views. Isn't that the case?

Apologies to those who don't like me banging on about the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra (ZF3U). I just bought another one!! There are people out there moaning about stuff, simply because they don't know that they don't know how to operate this phone, and they won't take the time to find out how to work it. So - advanced is this phone!! Actually this phone is not for ordinary folk. Those who want to believe those people who don't know what they're talking about, can buy other phones - it's all fine.

k, 08 Dec 2016There are good outlets in UK . Google itThe phone isn't officially sold in the UK, so you just have to choose a foreign company who will ship it to the UK.

And I don't know where to write to complain about.

TJ, 26 Oct 2016Does this phone work with AT&T's 4G LTE in the United States?No ZU680KL model won't work with ATT because it doesn't sport B2 nor B4 LTE Bands, get a 4g huawei router to get around this problem.

TJ, 26 Oct 2016Does this phone work with AT&T's 4G LTE in the United States?This particular model ZU680KL ( ultra) doesn't have LTE band 2 nor band 4 reception, it has almost all the other ones, ATT uses band 2, the only thing you can do, is look for other company, if they don't know what you are talking about, just borrow a SIM card, slide it in and check if your LTE does work. I have the same problem in Mexico, I think a way around this would be to get a Huawei hotspot and have it in your other pocket it'll receive 4g and feed your phone at high speed via WiFi.

AnonD-606854, 03 Dec 2016Scroll this forum and numbered links for my other shoutings... moreThank for your reply Captain. I checked the E Global and there seems to be really bad reviews. Are they genuine or fake from competitors? I am currently using a lumia 1520 so size is not a problem its actually why I chose this instead of the Zenfone 3 deluxe. Also you know of any other sites where I can purchase for uk which are legit?
Thanks again Captain

Mine is only quick charging with the supplied adapter. Using an Aukey QC 3 charger, it only shows "charging". Anyone have the same experience?

AnonD-606854, 03 Dec 2016Scroll this forum and numbered links for my other shoutings... moreThanks for your help captain. Really appreciated. I am currently using a Lumia 1520 ans have had it since it was released in 2014. It has a 6 inch screen and now that I've seen the ZF3U I know that what I want. Also I've read some reviews of Eglobal Central and most of them are not good. So do you still advise yo buy from Eglobal or do you know if any other suppliers for this phone which can ship to UK?
Thanks again Captain

Scroll this forum and numbered links for my other shoutings from rooftops about the ZF3U. :))
For UK folk looking for the ZF3U to purchase, I got it at eglobal central (google it). Last time I checked it can be delivered by insured delivery for £458 after the standard coupon discount they offer (of about £5). Watch out for Xmas rush and postal problems. Avoid buying without insured delivery.
I'm still loving this phone more and more everyday!! Recently I discovered the Inkredible App. It's so great for scribbling a few notes using a single finger (and lots of other cool features). So actually, I'm no longer even missing the S-pen. Well yes, people who wanna do various artistic stuff will need an S-pen, in which case get ripped off for the over-hyped Samsung S8. I don't like fattening Samsung by emptying my pocket. LOL.
After really heavy use yesterday only 48% power used in 8 hours. Like so cool!
Oh - and yesterday a female work colleague spotted my ZF3U and began asking questions. She too was dissed up by the Note 7 debacle. Sadly she bought the Google Pixel XL. In fact she was a bit sad when she put it next to the ZF3U and realised how small the Google Pixel XL looked - just a mere 5.5" screen. :)) So showed off some of the ZF3U to her and she was blown away!! LOL. So she was really considering what to do next after forking out £719 for Pixel! Errrh.. like no - she's not a 6'5" Amazon of a woman with large hands. She's actually about 5'4" and has average sized female hands. So I was surprised when she was asking so much about this phone. I mean if it's too large, you'd just forget about it.

Wifi is as good as a desktop computer and comes in at 45Mps which surprisingly is less than my 4G. I'm trying to post a link to speedtest result after this sentence (if it shows then cut and paste into your browser, if it does not show then they don't allow links): speedtest.net/my-result/a/2412223177
Many people including me, had an issue with Samsung phones and Bluetooth connection i.e. once connected to a car or other device, many Samsung phones would start playing music. It was so annoying - and I tried many fixes on the net that did not work. Well ZF3U does not give me this problem. I haven't tried creating a Wifi or Bluetooth hotspot, so unable to talk about that sort of connectivity.
BTW for those interested, there has been a price drop by about £30 at eglobalcentral (at this time). The current price makes ZF3U a better overall purchase than the ZF3 Deluxe, if I had to choose. But as I said before, it's about personal choice. If people just want to go on specs alone that's fine. I do say again that the synergy among the components on this ZF3U, is something that specifications alone cannot give an idea of real life performance.
The way I see it is that it's a balance of the following factors (not a complete list):
1. Size of phone/screen.
2. Screen performance.
3. Sound input/output performance.
4. Camera quality x 2.
5. Cost
6. Specification e.g. RAM, processors etc.
7. Memory expansion.
8. Dual or single sim.
9. Splash/water resistance - ZF3U is not as far as I'm aware.
10. Battery capacity.
11. Power management features and power usage.
12. Metal and/or plastic housing - ZF3U is sturdy metal, so won't do a bendigate unless extreme force is applied.
13. After sales support.
For me ZF3U was ideal balancing the above. Others may find a different balance that suits them and choose a different phone.
I'm now considering buying a second ZF3U!! I'm so over the moon about this phone!! LMAO
