    It's high range...15K-16K is ok...

      If you think the price is disappointing, well... we from Malaysia would like to say, welcome to the club.
      Zenfone 3 ZE520KL with 4/64 configuration is sold for $370 and above here in Malaysia. Sure, you can find deals here and there to make it cheaper, which I’m sure would be available in many countries… but at that price, it’s too close to Xiaomi’s Mi 5 (3/32 on SD820 downclocked to 1.8GHz). On the other hand, the deluxe 256 is to retail slightly more expensive than a Samsung Note 7… go figure.

        Whaaat? 22k for 3gb ram + 32gb rom + 2600mah battery + 5.2" model?

        4gb ram + 64 gb model of 5.2' and 5.5' gonna cost more than this??

        Antutu scores of zenfone 3 is lower than Redmi note 3. 4k video is crappy, still images are only little better to RN3. Reviews are already there on youtube. Asus is thinks it is samsung?

          Lucky Indians. Us Filipinos got the Asus Zenfone 3 for $399 and that is the base model -_-
          Asus thinkin its Apple and Samsung, but It's definitely not. Asus' CEO seems to have taken the same drug that the Sony's Mobile Department Head uses. Asus is going down if they don't get their crap straight

            Extremely Disappointed with Asus ! This price in India wont work. Even after knowing they had a great demand for this phone they broke many consumer's heart by keeping such high Price. Very Sad :(

                      AnonD-559424, 17 Aug 2016Asus Zenfone 3 comes with sd625 soc. It is a 14nm chip. So ... moreSnapdragon 625 is supposed to deliver 40% better performance than Snapdragon 617 not 650 or 652. Snapdragon 650/652 has Cortex A72 cores, Snapdragon 625 does not even have Cortex A57. It has 8 Cortex A53 cores. It can be more power efficient than Snapdragon 650/652 but not more powerful than them.

                        Just as expected. Overpriced as Malaysia and Thailand do. ASUS is a joke!

                        Their firmware is the worst. Some legendary bugs from Zenfone First Generation still present in Zenfone 3.
                        Somemore my unit (ZE520KL) have ghost touch issue, hardware related.
                        So never ever buy ASUS product as firmware is the worst, every new firmware release will produce new bug. And also customer service also the worst.

                          kinda costly for 5.2 inch version.
                          it should have been between 15-18K but lets wait for official announcement. if its true i will wait for some time before buying one.

                            Tucking Fypo, 17 Aug 2016asus, pass me the weed. why would anyone not save 22k INR a... moreBecasue ASUS is brand and Oneplus is china

                            becasue asus has best technologies that china brand could never give. only SD625 is drawback at price but no other phone at even 30K give OIS, EIS , Sony 298 , PDAF , LASER in 1 phone , ZEN UI best UI - china phone give stock with crap UI or no app tray. Zenfone 3 is samsung flashgip grade phone.

                                      At this price point Asus is under estimating my intelligence to evaluate a product. Too bad, I feel insulted by this pricing.
