I've been so happy with my
Asus Zenfone 2 which I've shared last year so I was thrilled to be invited to this year's
ASUS Zenvolution.
Unlike last year,
Asus Zenfone 2 was released before the other models. This year,
Asus Philippines launched all
Zenfone 3 series,
Zenbook 3 series and
Zen Transformer 3 series in one event. Yes, it's a lot so a whole day was not enough to get to know all of them but I'll try to share as much.

Zenfone 3 has 5 different models.
Zenfone 3, Zenfone 3 Max and
Zenfone 3 Laser has the same exterior look but the specifications vary of course. I've passed by
Zenfone Stores around the Metro and noticed that they don't have an on-hand unit for you to check out and play. So I'm showing you here the actual look and feel. Also pay attention to the model name because each model has a different specification. This post will orient you with the distinctions as you can check the paper specifications you can just check out the official website.

The
Zenfone 3 is their mainstream model. If you notice the design is very different from the
Zenfone 2. It fits my petite lady hand perfectly. The 2.5 contour edge glass is scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass. It no longer has a curve back. The finish is so fine and comfortable to hold.
The
Zenfone 3 ZE552KL comes in 3 colors: Shimmer Gold, Sapphire Black and Moonlight White. It has a screen display of 5.5" HD. While the
Zenfone 3 ZE520KL has a screen display of 5.2". It has a 16MP ASUS PixelMaster 3.0 Camera (Sony IMX298 sensor).
Zenfone 3 Deluxe has
a screen display of 5.7". It is a full metal bodied and is the world’s first
smartphone to use the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 821 processor, Adreno™ 530 GPU. This is said to arrive in the Philippines on October.
Ever since I got my
Zenfone 2, I had been hooked with the fun of mobile photography. If there's one specification of
Zenfone 3 Deluxe that caught my attention is its superior 23MP camera with the latest Sony IMX318 image sensor.
If you haven't followed me on instagram. Hope you do! =)
I was also impressed with the quick focus and stability of the
Zenfone 3 as shown by this actual test.
Zenfone 3 is the one on the right.
Although I am already happy with the double tap quick access feature of the
Zenfone 2, the built-in fingerprint sensor unlock with a fraction of a second of
Zenfone 3 Deluxe is really cool!

So that's all I learned in a day. Hope you find this information useful for your next upgrade.
I also have a good news for ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) users like me. There's a free manual ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) Android 6.0 upgrade to Marshmallow already. Here's the link. Perhaps, with the update we can now play Pokemon Go smoothly.
