what's up guys lon here from andrew authority and i'm coming to you live from Computex 2016 and we're taking a look at the zenfone 3 lineup announced here by a sous and there's three different devices in this lineup so you have the regular zenfone 3 the zenfone 3 deluxe and the zenfone 3 ultra let's start off with the regular zenfone 3 so design wise it's made of a glass and metal construction so you have glass on the front glass on the rear and a metal frame that wraps around the sides and it feels extremely solid in the hand and it looks pretty awesome too on the front of the phone it has a 5.5 inch 1080p IPS LCD display with a ppi of 401 and it's made of Gorilla Glass 3 internally you're looking at a snapdragon 625 adrenal 506 3 gigabytes of ram on the 32 gigabyte version or 4 gigabytes of RAM on the 64 gigabyte version on the backside you have a 16 megapixel Sony IMX 298 camera with an aperture of f2 and it does have laser and faith detection autofocus it also has optical image stabilization and a dual LED flash on the front there's an 8 megapixel camera and inside it also has 24-bit audio and then along the bottom of the phone you have your USB type-c port your power button on the right side 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the top and on the back side there's also a fingerprint reader inside the phone there's also a 3000 milliamp hour battery and it comes in sapphire black moon like white and shimmer gold as the color options next up is the zenfone 3 deluxe and this one is the flagship out of the bunch so it has an all-metal design and the interesting thing about the design of the zenfone 3 besides being a metal unibody is that it doesn't have any antenna lines running across the backside it is the first all-metal unibody phone that does not have antenna lines running across the back like you would find with other metal flagships on the front of the phone is a 5.7 inch 1080p Super AMOLED display with a ppi of 386 and it's all protected in Gorilla Glass 4 and so far it looks pretty good it's very vibrant very punchy and has really viewing angles as well internally it's packing a snapdragon 820 processor with the adrenal 530 and comes in either 64 128 or 256 gigabytes of internal storage and will either come with 4 gigabytes of RAM or a whopping 6 gigabytes of RAM on the back of the phone is a 23 megapixel Sony IMX 318 camera with F 2.0 aperture laser and phase detection autofocus and it also comes with optical image stabilization and dual LED flash there's an 8 megapixel camera on the front it also has 24-bit audio just like the regular zenfone 3 there's USB type-c on the bottom the power button is on the side and the headphone jack is up top and then along the front you have the standard capacitive keys and just like the regular zenfone 3 it also has a fingerprint sensor on the backside below the camera inside is also a 3000 milliamp hour battery which also supports quick charge 3.0 and this one comes in glacier silver titanium gray shimmer gold and it will start at $4.99 for the 64 gigabyte model and lastly we have the zenfone 3 ultra and this one is the biggest one out of the bunch it still has an all-metal build just like the zenfone 3 deluxe but it has a huge 6.8 inch 1080p display on the front which makes this a very big phone and it's almost tablet territory but the nice thing about the zenfone 3 ultra is that it has TV grade dual speakers on the bottom and DTS headphone 7.1 surround sound if you really want high quality audio inside is a Snapdragon 650 2 processor the adrenal 510 and it comes with 32 64 or 128 gigabytes of internal storage and either 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM depending on the model on the back it has the same 23 megapixel Sony sensor as the zenfone 3 deluxe but instead of having the fingerprint sensor on the backside like the regular zenfone 3 and the deluxe model you actually have the volume rockers on the back and the fingerprint sensor is actually on the front embedded in the home button the rest of the specs are pretty much identical to the other two zenfone so you have an 8 megapixel camera on the front 24-bit audio support and USB type-c on the bottom and inside is a massive 4600 milliamp hour battery so you should get pretty solid battery life with phone they're all running on Android 6.0 marshmallow with Zen UI 3.0 on top and it's a pretty familiar experience to previous design phone devices there are a few new features like the Zen life application which is basically a newsreader and it puts a floating bubble on your home screen that you can move around in place wherever you want pricing starts at 249 for the regular zenfone 3 $4.99 for the zenfone 3 deluxe and 479 for the zenfone 3 ultra so they're all very affordable smartphones but for more
