Notice how the whole range has moved down market. The Zenfone 3 is now midrange, and the 3 laser is using a lower end chip. The previous Zenfone 2 laser was using a mid range chipHaz wrote: ↑Oct 21st, 2016 12:06 amThe 430 isn't bad and has QC3.0 I think. It's more of a lower-mid chipset unlike the 410 that was clearly a low end chip.mr_raider wrote: ↑Oct 20th, 2016 11:02 pmFine but be aware that the 430 chip is a low end product. This is a very basic phone.vivibaby wrote: ↑Oct 18th, 2016 2:14 pmIs this a good deal?

Any word on the Zenfone 3 deluxe other than it's releasing this month?

I've noticed the Ultra is now available for $759, I believe deluxe will be available by the end of the month (launches on Oct 19th in US), my guess for about the same price give or take a few $$

So far it has been fantastic.kool1 wrote: ↑Nov 7th, 2016 9:13 amLet us know how you like it.WildPegasus wrote: ↑Oct 30th, 2016 11:09 amI picked one up yesterday for $370. Which phone is going to provide a much better camera experience for $400 or less?
The build quality is excellent. It reminds me a bit of my iPhone 4 from back in the day but flattened. It just feels super solid in my hand.
Everything I've run has been super smooth. But I don't play any resource heavy games.
The ZenUI doesn't bother me. Once you're in an app, it's the same as any other Android phone anyway.
Amazing battery life. Haven't charged it in over 24 hours and it is still at 73% battery life.
The screen is superb. No problems viewing it on the sunniest days. It goes really bright.
Haven't noticed any issues with the camera yet but that's a hard thing to really determine without matching pictures with other cameras.
Audio quality with headphones is great.
The only issue I have is the buttons on the bottom are not lit. That's a really minor thing though.

Does Asus now include original headset in ZF3? Would it be included in all variation of ZF3 (WW)?
