Asus zenfone 3 ultra User Review - Brock

Large attention grabbing phone with almost every thing you'd want.

Review

Once you get over the initial shock of its size it'll be hard to go back to a smaller phone. I was drawn to ASUS with their promise of nearly everything I was searching for in a phone; HIFI sound a great camera and a huge screen. But there are a number of downsides; one being its LCD screen which makes the phone sound hollow when tapping it. But with a phone this size an AMOLED screen would have made it too expensive for the limited pool of people who would be interested in a phone this size. Another being the software which has a number of glitches. But all in all with the camera being as great as it is and the High Fidelity sound I've stayed with it and haven't given up on it.

Pros

Very robust body, I've not used this phone with a case yet and have dropped it on my hard surfaces and it barley leaves a mark.
I really like the size but being so large it doesn't fit in many pockets and there isn't many interesting cases available for it.
Hifi Sound

Cons

LCD screen sounds hollow when tapping, but its an LCD so it comes with the territory.
Glass covering the camera scratches very easily.
Battery drains quicker than expected for its size.
Software in general is glitchy, apps crash a lot or don't fully work when not on WiFi, pulling down the notification bar has to be pulled down multiple times, etc.
Download and upload speeds aren't the quickest, I'm guessing because of the hidden antennas.
The finger print reader is very poor, I ended up disabling it.
