All You Need to Know About ZenFone 3 Ultra | ASUS

[@midwesttech7785]

I have the phone and love it man this phone is great and the 6.8 don't feel like 6.8 it feels good in the hand . I live in the U.S and I don't get LTE but I do get H+ and I can still watch movies play games and it is not slow at all on H+. Everything looks great on this phone if you been thinking about getting you one, Don't wait no more hurry up and get you one asap you want be disappointed at all good job ASUS. This is my 1st ASUS phone and I've been rocking it every since I bought it.

[@Kpangolo]

I have been on the lookout for the second edition of this phone. I am refusing to buy any of the newer phones in this size category because none of them actually matches this phone in design. I am briefly going to touch on the aspects of the phone that are important to me. 1. The size: 6.8". This is a true 6.8" phone. You are not shortchanged in any way. There is no notch, no holes, no tear-drop... none of such nonsense which eats away from the screen real estate. You get all of the 6.8" display as your screen for your immersive viewing pleasure. Even though I love on-screen soft buttons, the back and recent apps buttons are capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel of the phone, leaving you all of the 6.8" screen for content consumption or for creativity. No compromises at all. 2. The bezels. While bezel-less phones are the current trend, I'm actually in love with the bezels of this phone. The top bezel houses the front-facing camera, the LED notification light, and the earpiece. The bottom bezel holds the home button and the two capacitive buttons for the back-action and for your recent apps. This is a very sensible, mature, and traditional design, 3. The 16:9 aspect ratio. A huge factor in my reluctance to buy any of the newer competitors to this phone (such as the Huawei Make 20 X and the Honor Note 8) is the departure in their design from the 16:9 aspect ratio. These days smartphones are narrower. They are designed with 18:9, 18.5:9; 18.7:9, 19:9; and 19.5:9 aspects ratios. Meanwhile, most videos are shot in 16:9 aspect ratio. The implication is that you don't really take advantage of the full screen when you watch a 16:9 aspect ration video on those narrow phones. They tell you that the reason for making the phones narrow is to enhance one-handed use of the phone, but once a phone comes with a screen that's 6.5" or bigger, it is obviously a device intended for two-hand use. TVs and computer screens are still being built with a 16:9 aspect ratio. 4. Volume: This phone is loud when the volume is at the maximum setting. I love it. I will not mind it if the second edition version of the phone comes with louder speakers, but it is hard to find a phone that beats this phone in the quality and loudness of its stereo speakers. 5. The camera takes good photos and videos, both the back and the front camera. The cameras are also packed-full of options in the settings for you to choose from. 6. Battery life. This, of course, depends on how you use your phone. The phone has a 4600 mAh battery. Certainly, I wish Asus had equipped the phone with a bigger battery. However, you can be sure of getting a full work-day from a single charge. 7. It supports dual SIM, but its either two SIMs or one SIM and a Micro-SD card. It is always better when a phone is able to support two SIM cards AND a micro-SD card, so you don't have to choose between a second SIM card and a micro-SD. 8. It has a 3.5 mm headphone jack! 9. The overall build quality is premium. It doesn't feel or look cheap. I love the aluminum body. I'm happy it does not have a glass back. I don't care much about wireless charging or IP68 certification (waterproofing a phone is not a big deal for me). If I have to choose between loudness and clarity of a phone's volume, on the one hand, and waterproofing the phone, on the other hand, better sound quality will always be my choice. I wish very strongly that ASUS will release a newer version of the Zenfone 3 Ultra, but without getting rid of the functional bezels and without changing the aspect ratio of the screen. Stay away from those stupid notches and holes. Give us a bigger battery, louder speakers, a faster processor, true two-SIM card support (not either a second SIM card or a micro-SD card), more RAM, and please please please do not change the aspect ratio. Retain the 3.5 mm headphone jack and support for expandable storage.

I am awaiting a freaking software for 2 year now

[@stevenjames1138]

I just bought this phone in September 2017! It's awesome! (But, of course, I love big phones.) Actually, I had owned a Zenfone 3 Deluxe before, but I like this phone better. It's got much better battery life (another advantage of a big phone) and I simply love the design and big screen. I wish that Asus had made a follow-up in their Zenfone 4 series. Oh well. Guess it didn't sell enough, but I'm glad I bought it. I just hope Asus keeps it updated for at least one more year. Good job Asus!

[@crazyrussiangamer7160]

They cancelled update only one update to 7.0 and that's all. 😣

[@Mildern]

Are you ever going to release a U.S. version with AT&T LTE bands?

[@novalawhp]

Dear Zenfone, There ARE people in the USA and Canada that want a screen bigger than 5.5 to 6 inches. The only reason it doesn't sell now is 1. Those sold aren't fully compatible with bands our local cell company uses (at&t, etc.) leaving us with a great phone with poor reception and data speeds. 2. if you do release a USA / Canada version has vastly different specs (usually less powerful) from what the phone was released with in your company's native region, which was what got our attention to begin with! There's a couple of other things but the point is "If you build it, We WILL buy it!"

[@CarlKahler]

Yeah I wish they would Hurry up I need it on T-Mobile.

[@CarlKahler]

Couldn't have put it better myself Asus needs to hurry up with this Z3 Ultra launch I'm tired of getting teased.

ASUS, please get your details straight. Your website says storage up to 2TB but your online user guide says only 200GB max SD support. I've asked your Facebook page and they said it is indeed only up to 200GB SD.. Which one will i believe? I have already bought the Ultra and a 200GB SD but still wants to go higher. I do not want to invest in an incompatible capacity card.

[@highlysuspicious6417]

Would have been better if it have the following specs: 1. 80% screen body ratio. With a 2k display and a 800+ ppi. 2. Quad speakers. 2 at the top. And two at the bottom. 3. 7,000 mah display with quick charge technology. 4. Runs on a snapdragon 800+ series, not the 600+ snapdragon. 5. Has 6gb of ram. And a built in 256gb storage with MicroSD support 6. Has its own smart menu, which is quite similar to assistive touch on ios. 7. Has a power case accessory which has a 10,000 mah battery. 4 front facing speakers. And a smart cover. 8. No bloatwares. If this would feature on zenfone 4 ultra. It would sell well.

[@nathaniellunau4851]

Highly Suspicious Well I don't think you get the point. At Asus, they strive to make phones that help the budget unlinke iphones with a quarter of the stats you listed for about the price those stats would cost from an Asus phone being $1k. It is good enough! Maybe look at the deluxe. If you like. if price tags, buy an Iphine with 1gb of ram :)

[@Delta-1X-Ray]

Micha Ols don't underestimate the 650/652 and it's Adreno 510 GPU. It can play all games to date in max graphics settings. that's almost as good as Adreno 530. You'd better buy a new one so that you can compare accurately.
