They can’t be serious about the zenfone ultra. The idea of a smartphone priced over 30k php equipped with just a snapdragon 652 is hilarious. You’re totally getting less than what you’ve paid for. Rip ASUS smartphones

LG G3 3GB/32GB – 12,200 pesos
– Snapdragon 801
– Quad HD Display
– NFC

Lamang lang sa build/fingerprint scanner ang Zen3 sa G3 pero everything else lamang ang G3 and Php1,700 cheaper

Same build and Zen3 at Z3. Fingerprint saka Hi-res audio lamang ng Zen3. Everything else lamang Z3 for just Php400 more.

At almost the same prices with almost the same specs, i will NEVER choose ASUS over Sony and LG.

Eto ha. Sa Widgetcity lahat ng price so fair ang comparison

Zenfone 3 3GB/32GB – 13,900 pesos
– fingerprint scanner

Xperia Z3 3GB/16GB – 14,300 pesos
– Snapdragon 801
– NFC
– Waterproof, Dustproof
– (no hi-res audio)

The price is just right. Premium build = higher price. Magtaka kau kung maganda ung phone tapos mura, iisa lang ang ibig sabihin nun madali yung masira.

Sa mga nagsasabi na bibili n lng ng samsung, LG, etc., goodluck kung may mahanap kaung high-end specs for the price of zenfone 3.

Kung walang pambili, edi wag bumili ndi nmn tau pinipilit eh! #justsayin

OP3 same internals sa base ZF3 Deluxe for nearly half the price. Say build quality, display, and camera (which is kinda oversaturated imo) goes to ZF3, does it warrant the almost 15k disparity? Not to mention bloatwares, OS problems, etc. Don’t tell me that i havent had any basis for these for i had held both units.

One of Oppo’s “high-end” device F1 Plus’ processor is MediaTek6755, not like ZF3’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, and its battery is just 2850. Does not have 4-axis OIS. so good luck.

Zenfone 3 Max saka Laser lang talaga ang balak ibenta ng ASUS. Front lang yung ibang phone, kunyari high end brand na din daw sila sa Smartphone industry. 100 units each lang daw ang na-manufacture na Zen3, Deluxe saka Ultra- baka daw sakali may magkamaling bumili. Hahahahahaha.

This is stupid. Pricing is stupid. Would be eaten up by much more price competitive alternatives and mainstay high-end brands.

The OnePlus 3 is less than P21,000 FFS.

tama lang yung price ng zenfone 3 5.2″/5.5″ pero yung delux at max wag nalang! Mag note 7 nalang o s7/s7edge, may note 4 pa na 18k na sa widget city. Meron din Xiaomi mi max!

Nice marketing strat Asus, at first cheap prices for mid range but good specs and flagship phones.. Now still good specs but expensive.. Those who followed Zenfone 1 & Zenfone 2 plus other variant will now look for new brand with good specs and not so expensive prices….
Sana nag stick kayo sa marketing strat nyo na lumalaban ang specs nyo sa mga big names when it comes to smartphone but with competitive price.. Sayang lang tlga.. Though good specs pa dn nmn ang Zenfone3 series nyo..

Kaya yung redmi 4 nalang sakin. Antayin nyo yung zenfone laser 3 kaso baka hindi na Snapdragon 625 gagamitin dun. Yung mahilig sa malalaki ok na yung xiaomi mi max hahaha! sempre mas maganda parin yang asus kaso x3 the price.
