Description

The highlight of the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is its camera. On its back we have a 12MP main camera paired with a secondary 12MP shooter sporting a 3X zoom lens. You know, kind of what the iPhone 7 Plus stands out with. And that's okay. Cameras aside, the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is shaping up as a well-rounded mid-range Android handset. Key selling points include its 5.5-inch AMOLED display, the rear-positioned fingerprint scanner, and the metal construction treated to a stylish finish. But the huge, 5000mAh battery is what we're most impressed by.

This device is also known as Asus ZE553KL, Asus ZenFone 3 S

ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom -

Phone owned for more than a year

I'm writing this review mostly because I strongly disagree with the 7.1 rating that PhoneArena.com's reviewers gave it. Their website claims that their ratings are all based on the class of each phone. This phone sells for ~$300 US. That is at the low end of midrange and not far above budget. This phone's main design and selling points are battery life and camera quality and I can tell you first hand that in those areas it is comparable or better than any flagship phone costing as much as three times its price.
If I had my pick of any phone on the market right now but had to keep and use whatever I picked, I'd pick this phone.
Of course I'd pick a $1,000+ phone, sell it, and buy one of these for $300 if that was an option. The only problem would be what to do with the extra $700...
