    I speak from personal experience - it's brighter, sharper and obviously bigger. Some have not set their brightness settings properly and have complained. Be careful about reports based on a quick appraisals of this phone. It took me two days to discover the correct screen settings for me. But turning up the brightness causes me to be dazzled. I'm not joking.

    I keep mentioning Note 7 - because that was my real reference point. Note 7 was Amoled. ZF3U is IPS. So why am I so impressed? Because it is truly better than Note 7 screen in my overall interactions.

    The down side of IPS is that viewing angles from the side are not great. So if you want to show stuff to people sitting more than 45 degrees on either side behind you, then they will see a slightly dimmer image than the lovely crisp goodness that you see, in adaptive brightness mode. However, you could just crank the brightness all the way up and dazzle a few people!! LOL. It's about show-factor for some people.

    As I've said before in this forum, it is about personal choice. For me, I don't like people darting their eyes over at my phone - and I do catch um doing this on trains etc - so the IPS screen is great for me. They're now most unlikely to see much from their usual vantage points. People in and around big cities here in the UK claim to be minding their own business. I don't believe them!

    But I'll give a little story. I gave my phone to a young lady to play with for about 10 minutes. She got on to YouTube, webpages and some games. She suddenly burst out, "This thing is so bright colourful and sharp. I love it!" And.. and.. she is a dedicated Samsung Note 4 user which has a very nice big bright screen.

    A couple days ago, I had the ZF3U nearby but in a power saving mode (where networks power down after a few minutes). I didn't use it for 10 hours that day cuz I was doing most stuff on the computer. Total juice used: 2%. That's what I call lovely. I never got that with any Samsung phone.

    There have been so many gripes about bloatware. But actually I had more bloatware from Samsung than on ZF3U.

    Well I have no argument with people who want to pay more for a higher spec phone. All I can say is that in practical use of this phone, its components work so well together that I'm blown away. LOL.

                    I'm back to shout about the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Apologies to those who may be offended. I mean no offence.

                    There has been much preoccupation about how the specifications on the Zenfone 3 Ultra are less than on other models of Asus phones or other brands of phones. It is a fact that the 3 Ultra has less grunt based on raw specs.

                    However, I urge all to consider how the specifications in this phone works together to give an experience. Keep in mind that I came to this phone very sceptical, as I too used to rely heavily on specifications on RAM, camera power, CPU power, and other processors. That sort of thinking led me to purchase the hottest phone in history namely the ill-fated Samsung Note 7 - which was so hot that it exploded, brought down planes and caught vehicles on fire etc. LOL [JTBC - I'm well aware that Note 7 is out of the picture and not for sale from retail outlets.]

                    Note 7 was/is a much higher specification of phone than Zenfone 3 Ultra and I'm not going to debate S-pens etc. However, as a former Note 7 user, I'm loving the Zenfone 3 Ultra far more. I didn't expect to be saying this. In gaming and other everyday uses of the 3 Ultra, I am actually much happier. I experience no performance under-runs relative to Note 7. I've now forgotten about Antutu scores.

                    What's my main point? Specification is not everything. It's about how a phone is put together i.e. how it uses what's on board. It's about synergy of the components. That's something you'll be unlikely to learn about by just looking at specs.

                    It also very much depends on individual needs. If some people like paying more for the joy of holding a device with rear-kicking specs, certainly find something higher end. If other people wish to unstick from raw specs and enjoy a phone that will do everything that a higher spec phone with greater grunt will do, (excepting things like S-pen) then think about the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra.

                    My view here should be taken together with my other assessments posted in this forum.

                          The Zenfone 3 Deluxe has way more powerful Snapdragon 821 processor, 6 GB RAM and 4K video recording capability.

                                  Your opinion is harsh bordering on insulting. Zenfone 3 Deluxe is indeed a very fine phone. It is expected to be better than the Zenfone 3 Ultra for some. People have different individual needs and preferences. They are entitled to use their brains which may well be 'in the right place', to choose any phone that suits their needs or circumstances. JTBC - I've only been shouting about the Zenfone 3 Ultra because it suits my personal requirements. I was careful to outline those preferences/needs in 6 numerated points. I recommended it on the basis of those sharing similar preferences/needs.
