All hater listen, this is the only phone that I considered as the true flagship at midrange price, where unlike some pretentious brand, this one remain the 3.5mm jack, and real Micro SD slot, despite it is a hybrid sim slot. It also got dual speaker.
What it actually lacking are just wireless charging, and IP rating.
Complain about camera? Go and find a proper Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha to know what true photography is all about. Smartphone camera despite has improvement every year, are only for social media usage.
Complain about battery life? As long as it can last one day, then I am satisfied. No phone is going to last forever.
Complain no AMOLED? I personally found LCD are much more durable than AMOLED display despite the over saturation and true black of AMOLED. LCD just look as good from 1st day usage even after several years.
You get some and loose some. At all fairness, this is the new king of budget Android smartphone. It's price even beat Oneplus, Xiaomi, Honor at both import and local price.
Of course, always there is competitor, the next big price jump, should you all look for Vivo Nex S, a true innovative phone that has real full body screen, under screen finger print, screen vibrate speaker, that all still sold cheaper than Samsung S9/S9+

Hater gonna hate, lovers gonna love.
Oneplus, Samsung, Google Pixel, iPhone fanboys and other hater hate much cheaper smartphone with specs near to what they are using.
Get a live, it is just a smartphone sold at more affordable price. Certain not the best, but you get what you pay for. Using for 3 or 4 years? Yes, no problem on that, as long as you keep your phone save, and don't listen those people comment who change their smartphone yearly.
Go on and show off your Samsung, Oneplus, Google Pixel, and iPhone, which many think are best of the best best. Must get the best, if not, lousy people will look down at you.
I am happy with my Redmi Note 3. (You guys can continue trolling, my Redmi Note 3 works just fine and can do 100% of smartphone stuff without any issue, just like what your expensive smartphone can do, I'm going to get this ASUS Zenfone 5z as my next upgrade)

Anonymous, 20 Jul 2018And what about 5z will it be good for 3 to 4 yr of uses ..All android devices are only good for two years at best with its abysmal software updates. If you want to use a phone for 3 years, better buy an iphone.

I am using this phone for 2 weeks , satisfied by over all performance and value for money .
This could have been a All flagship killer if Asus has launched with 12 MP wide angle camera , 16 MP front camera for selfie. , 8 gb RAM and 3700 MAH battery and slightly improved camera software .
But ASUS has proved that they are capable of developing excellent product with high quality .

I really do agree with the video part..
Having the phone almost for 3 weeks..
No complaints except the video quality..
İt's like Asus zenui software is wearing down the original potential of this machine..

I have this phone for 2 weeks now, and i must say it is a very smooth and fast phone, compared to my old LG G4. Except the camera (software) is a little dissapointing. The photo quality is about as good as the G4, except there's no possibilty to shoot RAW with the zenfone. Also the autofocus is not as accurate (more hunting for focus) especially in low light.
The automatic exposure adjustment when recording video is not as smooth as the G4.
The overall video quality is also not very good compared to LG G4, with G4 i was able to record crispy smooth motion 60fps full hd video. with zenfone the video is more jerky. is seems to drop frames every second. Also low light videoquality is very grainy and muddy compared to LG.
However i don't think it's a hardware issue with the zenfone, but software related.
Asus needs to improve the camera software. Propably the video is recorded with too low bitrate.
It would be nice if asus would unlock full camera2api to allow other camera apps to use full potential of the hardware.
A "pro video settings section" just like the "pro photo section" would be nice, to give the user more control over bitrate , framerate , shutterspeed, diaphragm etc.
Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice phone, but the camera (software), especially the videopart needs more refinement.

Anonymous, 22 Jul 2018It's too expensive. It costs more than oppo r15 and huawei ... moreOf course it's more expensive they're not even in the same league. This is a flagship the R15 and Honor 10 are midrange at best.

It would be great if GSMArena has a battery life test for this phone. Thank you.
