The Asus Zenfone Zoom 3 has dual Sony lens and 12x zoom. I love the pics I take with this phone. The battery is amazing, so it's a plus when using the camera. Additionally, the dual sims and the Zen UI interface are intuitive and attractive. I intend to keep this phone for a very long time. The price and the features make is it the best Smartphone out there as compared to the expensive prices of the other phones, Not to mention that Zenfone 3 zoom has dual sims, encrypted, and fingerprint sensor. The Geek Squad warranty is the best available. I am highly satisfied with customer service inside the store, online and on the phone.

This phone is a great value. It thrives more than what it lacks. As others have mentioned, it has superior battery life. Why don't we see this kind of tech in phones like Samsung and Apple? We all know why. For a 5000mAh battery, this thing lasts me three days on a single charge. The camera is really good too. Bringing quality pictures to mid-range phones is a plus and a delight. Does well in low-light, but nothing to write home about. The thing that made this phone lose a star is the bloated software. It has so much going on in the background, it's impossible to watch a video and enjoy it whether it's played locally or on YouTube, NetFlix, etc. The UI lags behind the audio. I think another thing I would have liked to see is the ability to put a custom ROM on there. The ZenUI is so bloated and I like having minimal things on there. Overall a great phone that you don't have to plug in every night, I took it with me to the Philippines and it was awesome and it worked very well. Would I consider buying another one? Perhaps.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom is an awesome phone with 3 outstanding features and 1 niggling problem. First, the niggling problem - the phone is slippery....the sides and rear are extremely smooth and slippery. Very easy to drop the phone. I ordered a leather case to hopefully solve that issue. The outstanding features... 1. FANTASTIC battery life! I'm getting more than TWO DAYS of battery life with medium use corporate use - emails, calendar, some browsing, many calls, Uber, Maps/Satnav and camera use. It has the biggest battery of any phone on the market yet is still slim and light - amazing! 2. The fingerprint reader on the back is AWESOME! I unlocks the phone almost instantly, so no more pin code entries, and it even works with many apps...simply touch the conveniently placed fingerprint scanner on the rear of the phone and you're in...no more remembering passwords etc! It works brilliantly and very fast. 3. The camera has two lenses, a wide-angle, fast lens for normal shots which work well in the dark and an optical 2.3x telephoto lens for longer distance work. The camera is optically stabilized and even features PDAF focussing for very fast focus. I highly recommend this phone. It's far better than any iPhone for corporate use, IMHO, and better than any comparably sized Android that I've ever tried. If you want a phone for primarily games and videos on a huge screen, then get one of the common phablets instead. This is a phone for serious use.
