Yan ang magandang zenfone 3. Masyadong industrial ang design ng deluxe 3 puro makintab na corners lang ang mapapansin.

may commitment ba ang asus to upgrade zenfone 3 series to nougat and “O” android OS for the next 2 years?
if yes, this is a very good deal. otherwise, no upgrade/no support phone, max 6000php.

sa phone/tablet support, mukhang panalo yung apple iphone at ipad.

yung cherry mobile android one (first gen), no andorid 7 update, security update only until september 2016.
mukhang nagkamali sila sa 2 years support.
or until 7.1.1 nougat lang coming this december 7, 2016 (rumor) + some monthly security updates.

Sad thing that disappoints me with Asus mobiles is that once they realize that their mobile fucks in updating, they leave it behind. Like what happened in Zenfone 5. They updated it in L but leaves it with bugs it’ll make you go back to KK.

Nice design. Maganda yung texture sa render, sana ganun din sa actual. Consider this one kung aayusin ng asus ang pag update ng os at camera quality na pantapat sa huawei cam.
