Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL preview: First look

26 September 2016
Asus has been making phones for a few years now but the company but hadn't quite managed to leave a mark on the market and the consumers' mind. That changed a bit with last year's ZenFone 2 series that offered unheard of specs at incredible prices, which made them quite popular among the budget conscious users. This year the ZenFone 3 series is a bit different. Asus seems to have no interest to appeal to the budget market and is going straight for the flagship segment.

                      yes 6 hours of screen on time with a small charge applied half-way through? This according to the graph. The issued with Asus is that is appears the phone will be released exactly one year after first being announced!!!!!!! I think they should announce the new model now so we can get in before next X-mas.
