dual camera module lang pero “Camera Phone” na?? ikaw yata di marunong tumingin kung ano camera phone o hindi. Asus cant produce good camera smartphone. That price range of Zenfone 2 Zoom with mid range specs, di nila tataluning yung OP3 at OP3T na may better specs at one of the best camera this day.

Honestly akala ko nasa at least 18-19k lang siya since ang sabi sa mga reviews below 20k lang yung zenfone 3 zoom, to make it more competitive sa price compare sa ibang brand.
