Galaxy a5 2017 or zenfone 3 ze520kl? I really like water resistant that ip68, better with 16mpx selfie camera, super Amoled display but zenfone 3 has better rear camera, same 16mpx but advanced pdaf camera (laser af sounds promising), 4k video and snapdragon 625 sounds little better than exynos 7880 on a5. Guys please help me, which one the best buy? Pleazzz.

ze520kl 4gb ram, 64gb ROM variant. do update it to Oreo, done mine manually took ages 1.8gb x24, but definitely worth it, loads of cool features were added and a lot of the bloatware were removed. Sleek device=9.5/10, Price=10/10. Got it from Lazada at Php 8590 or about US $170 Bnew.

Good job ASUS !!!

My zenfone 3 is running Marsmallow, everything is okay. Should I upgrade to Nougat and Orio? any difference in camera performance? Suggestion needed from owners who have experienced both marshmallow / nougat / orio.

You can also go to ASUS official website to download newer firmware and instruction manual.

Please make sure the firmware SKU you download is conformed to what on your phone, eg., WW -> WW, CN -> CN, TW -> TW. Incorrect SKU will lead to update failure.
You can not change the SKU from one to another, eg., WW -> TW, and also can not downgrade your firmware, eg., V2.20.40.13 -> V2.19.40.18.

perc0811, 25 Feb 2018nice to use.. the only con was battery capacity too low for... moreHi Perc0811,
You can try these battery steps and monitor the battery
1. Lower screen brightness
An overly bright screen consumes more power and can be harmful to the eye. To adjust brightness, swipe down from the notification bar twice and use the slider. Extend your battery life, and protect your eyes while doing so!
2. Shorten screen timeout time.
To squeeze more juice out of your battery, you can shorten the screen timeout time so that your phone goes into sleep mode faster. Try changing the time from the default 1 minute to 15 seconds.
To change this setting, tap Settings > Display > Sleep.
To change Cover View screen timeout time, go to Settings > ASUS Cover > Automatic sleep.
3. Trim unnecessary background apps.
Prevent unnecessary apps you don't need from running in the background and consuming your battery by using Auto-start Manager. Tap Auto-start Manager to select apps you want to discontinue from running.
4. Use Smart-saving Mode .
ZenFone 2 has many extremely useful battery modes, one of which is Smart-saving mode. It provides extra toggles for brightness, a feature that turns off internet, and an Extend Standby feature that lowers battery consumption by efficiently managing your push notifications when your phone is in sleep mode.
Tap Settings > Power management > Power Saver > Battery Modes > Smart-saving mode.
5. Tap Boost from Quick Settings.
Have you ever wished for a single button that solves all your problems? When you tap Boost, not only does it make your phone faster, but it also lowers battery consumption. Swipe down from the notification bar twice to find the Boost button.
6. Choose Wi-Fi over 3G/4G Data.
Using Wi-Fi instead of a data connection will use less battery because your phone doesn't need to constantly search for the network.
To turn on Wi-Fi, swipe down from the notification bar twice and tap the Wi-Fi icon.
7. Turn off Location Services, Bluetooth, and NFC.
Don't be lazy! Turning off these services when you're not using them can extend your battery life. To turn these services off, swipe down from the notification bar twice and tap the Location, Bluetooth, or NFC icon.
8. Set up an Auto-switch mode schedule.
You can't be using your phone all the time! Set up a time interval in Auto-switch mode to automatically switch to a lower battery consumption power mode when you're not using it. To do this, tap Settings > Power management > Power Saver > Auto-switch mode. After enabling this feature and choosing your starting and ending times, we recommend setting it to change to Ultra-saving mode (the default).
Last but not least, don't forget to pick up a ZenPower for all your charging needs when you're on-the-go! Fast and convenient charging available at your fingertips, whenever, wherever.
