In terms of features and usability, this phone is great. Good camera and flash, decent OS and battery life.

The weight (5 oz.) is tolerable and doesn't bother me, but I hate the size of it. At six inches long and three wide, it's too big for a pocket, you need a bag or a purse. My last phone (Nokia 603) was the size of a wallet and fit easily when walking or sitting. I have to take the zenphone out everytime I sit down, and it's easy to forget and leave behind.

          Listening to music or watching youtube videos is an amazing experience with my zenfone 3, gotta say that... the headphones are pretty awesome too, the bass is a bit too hard for me, BUT all kinds of songs play with no issues or weird noises, which is great!

          Also I find the house icon on the home button cute, but I'm female, so... yeah. It's really cute :D

                      I bought this phone in November'16 and after using 3 months here are my views on this.

                      Pros:
                      1. Don't heat when charging even if you leave it whole night on charge.
                      2. Heavy games like NOVA 3, No Limit, Asphalt 8 run smoothly for long without heating up.
                      3. Bright screen actually allows better view in light.
                      4. Battery lasts whole day long with heavy use and 2nd day with normal use.
                      5. Camera seems quite good for me.
                      6. Scratch resistant.
                      7. Fast fingerprint sensor. No need to click power button every time.

                      Cons:
                      1. It says it has InfraRed port but when i tried app used infrared, pop up that this does not have infrared port. Please consider it if you are buying this for this options too and gonna use it as TV remote in future which requires infrared option.
                      2. Gorilla Glass seems more like normal glass to me, so i afraid to test it. :P
                      3. NFC is not available.
                      4. Speaker is on lower side which should be in front for better sound experience while watching video.
                      5. Very slippery without cover.

                      I might have miss something but so far concern this phone, these are the regular things that every buyer should know.

Only complain is...no stereo speaker...don't understand why only a handful of makers invest in stereo sound - Lenovo and ZTE, not even Appple. After all, voice and sound is a mandatory part of a phone, isn't it ?

I think that is the problem of sun network. I am a sun users too. I could not send messages easily so i have to switch to airplane mode to get signal. In my previous phone i have problems like this. So the problem is not the phone but the network itself.

                                    I am using this phone for 5 months. Still the greatest. I am very satisfied.

                                    RAM: 3.5gb Very fast, no lags. (I played carx drift racing and fruit ninja. Haha)

                                    Storage: I've got 64gb internal memory which I have no problem in my storage.

                                    Body: Still great design. Very handy but somewhat slippery to the hand. (Bought transparent jelly case).

                                    Screen: is Bright (adjustable of course). Scratch resistant. Good resolution.

                                    Battery: 1 day and a half (i'm an average user with wifi on for whole day, if data on, 1 day only).
                                    I still dont know if it is fast charging, i eventually charged my battery today, my battery life was 4℅ i charged it for an hour, then its now 27%. (Have your judgement)
                                    Charger slot: Type C. Still limited supplies in the Philippines. (I bought extra cable at ali express online shop to use it for emergency or for traveling)

                                    camera: still pictures-Good but not superb. Nice when daylight and Use manual mode when capturing at night so you can have great quality pictures. 16mp rear, 8mp front. Video - still good.


                                    Fingerprint scanner: very good. Fast sensor and very useful. No need to always press the power button to on or unlock.

                                    Bloatwares: just disabled them if you dont need it. Still, the phone runs good.

                                    Speakers: Good. It has outdoor mode. Of course when too loud outside, just use the head-set.

                                    Wifi: fast connection to wifi/s.

                                    Data: support 4G. The speed depends on your network

                                    What else?
                                    I think these are all the basic needed to know why i am still satisfied with my asus zenfone 3.

                                    I'm a female user by the way.
