WashichawbachaW, 03 Jun 2016Zenfone 3 Deluxe - http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_d... moreIf we look back on Zenfone 2, I've had a fair amount of gripes.

Display: It was inaccurate of grey shades and inefficient on power draw in addition to its back light LED. Fell short against IPS LCD competitors.

ZenUI: custom is on the heavy side like HTC's SenseUI and Samsung's Touchwiz. They like in-depth redesign of Android material on a system level. Of course it's obvious that a slow update is to be expected. Zenfone users are tempted with alternative ROMS with that.

Camera: Omnivision(front) & Toshiba(rear) wasn't a good mix. Or rather wasn't good at all. Focus latency is slow, pictures are cropped 10MP 16:9 from 13MP 4:3(software), limited ISO for manual. Even for an aggressive pricing for a flagship, a botched camera is a taboo.

Now that Zenfone 3 is on the frontlines, it got Super AMOLED 1920x1080, updated and improved ZenUI 3.0 and 23MP Sony IMX318. We'll see what happens and hope they'll get it right this time.

      AnonD-517105, 02 Jun 2016hi... plz tell me about 28k budget which fon is better hono... moreApparently the ZTE 7 is pretty aggressive on every aspect.

      ~$450, 5.5" qHD AMOLED 2.5D Gorilla4, aluminum body, fingerprint, SD820, 64gb/4gb(standard),128gb/6gb(with 'force touch'), microSD/sim2 hybrid, near-stock android MiFavor 4.0 UI, 20MP rear(f/1.8 lens)/8MP front, 4k video capture, ~3000mAh, QuickCharge 3.0, USB C, front-facing stereo speakers, Hi-Fi(playback and recording).

      Surprisingly, it seems the Axon 7's back cover alone is hard to bend with both hands. Check it out on Youtube.

            stobs, 02 Jun 2016same goes for their botchy software. it never settles.I kept on wondering about that as well. First is CyanogenMod then OxygenOS. Guess they weren't too happy and probably still looking for that perfect ROM. "Never Settle" LMFAO

                                        Ditching invite system? too little too late..
                                        Maybe oneplus wanted to be an exclusive phone maker, but in the end, they have to make a profit. I struggled to get my 1+1, and when I finally have one, it is not worth begging for. Now that we have many options with the same spec, or even private importers, I couldn't care less about their sale system.
