Asus presents three new terminals of the Zenfone series and this time we have a very good starting price for the first of them. In this wave of three terminals under the same model we find the Asus Zenfone 3 Max, Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe and Asus Zenfone 3. Obviously the device that we can think of would be the cheapest is the one that does not have a "nickname" but in this case it is not like that and it is the Asus Zenfone Max model that starts at 199 euros in Spain. Without further ado, let's see the specifications and prices of the three newly launched models.
We are going to start with the most adjusted model in price rather than in benefits, but we already warned that this cheaper model mounts a quad-core Mediatek MT6737M processor and the rest of the models opt for the Qualcomm Snapdragon. Of course, the battery of this model is the one that we can see with the highest mAh ... Well, let's go.
Asus Zenfone 3 Max
This is the cheapest model presented and has a starting price of 199 euros. The specifications of the device seem interesting to us although it is not the most balanced model of the three presented since for our taste the processor can be just in some tasks, that if, the value for money seems very interesting for this terminal with 5,2 inch screen and HD resolution.
- Mediatek MT6737M quad-core processor
- 2GB or 3GB RAM
- 16GB or 32GB internal storage
- 13 megapixel rear photo camera, LED flash and f / 2.2 aperture
- 5 megapixel front photo camera with f / 2.0 aperture
- 4100mAh battery
- Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
- Dimensions of 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 148 grams
Asus Zenfone 3
This is for us the Asus model most adjusted to the current times taking into account the current market and the equipment's own performance. But the 369 euros costs may be reason enough not to think about it for a moment considering your 5,5-inch screen with Full HD resolution and eight-core Snapdragon 625 processor.
- 3GB or 4GB RAM
- 32GB or 64GB internal storage
- 16 megapixel rear camera with f / 2.0 aperture, OIS and Dual LED
- 8 megapixel front photo camera with f / 2.0 aperture
- 3000mAh battery
- Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe
And to finish the specifications and price of the premium model from Asus. In this case the price rises up to 699 euros and although it is true that we can think that it is a very high price, it has a 5,7-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution and quad-core Snapdragon 821 processor, components of a high-end device. The rest of the specifications are:
- 4GB or 6GB RAM
- 64GB, 128GB or 256GB internal storage
- 23 megapixel rear photo camera, with OIS, dual LED and laser autofocus, with f / 2.0 aperture
- 8 megapixel front photo camera with f / 2.0 aperture
- 3000mAh battery
- Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
- Dimensions of 156.4 x 77.4 x 7.5 mm and a weight of 170 grams
In short, three good devices that I personally think may have a niche in this wide market of current smartphones. As always the reproach of the operating system that does not seem to advance in Android (in general) and new devices appear with these versions despite having their own customization layer, which in this case is ZENUI 3.0.
