Idk, I want the blue color of the basic,neither the screen size of the ultra, and he processor body and amoled of the deluxe

The battery of the deluxe worries me but I think I will still take a risk and see how it goes.....
Is there a reason some SD820 phones can do dual sim with the second sim able to revert to 3G instead of 2g whilst other phones also with SD820 (like this one) still have the same old reverts to 2G issue?

unfoturnately is not ip68,

Zenfone 3 maybe will use Snapdragon 821. http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/6/7/11878486/asus-zenfone-3-snapdragon-821-chip

I like the soud of the ultra, I'm not even too phased by the 652 but 6.8" of screen is a bit too big. I think I'd feel like Dom Jolly off Trigger Happy TV.

deluxe version is super, it should be ip68, but rest of spec is nice...

Last month, Asus unveiled three brand new smartphones:*ZenFone 3,ZenFone 3 Deluxe, andZenFone 3 Ultra. While the company announced their prices, it didn't say when the handsets would be released. However, we now know that all three of them are expected to be launched on July 12 in Taiwan. According to Taiwanese website ePrice, this is an official release date revealed by Asus.

The metallic ZenFone 3 Deluxe comes in three flavors, with its top model offering pretty much all the best possible specs to date: 6GB of DDR4 RAM plus 256GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage (expandable by up to 128GB via microSD using the second SIM slot). But this will cost you NT$24,990 or about US$780. The remaining two variants are still based on the 2.15GHz Snapdragon 820, and you get either 4GB RAM with 32GB storage (NT$15,990 or about US$500) or 6GB RAM with 64GB storage (NT$17,990 or about US$560). It's worth mentioning that these are certified for Google's Daydream VR platform.

Xiaomi had added the 5.7-inch Mi Note Pro with a Snapdragon processor to its portfolio of affordable devices early this year. The phablet is an enhanced variant of the Mi Note which was revealed along with it back in January. The former handset has finally been given a release date of May 12 and a cost of RMB2999 (close to Rs 31000).
The power-packed Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip and 4GB of RAM. It offers 64GB of internal memory and a 5.7-inch touchscreen of 2560 x 1440p QHD resolution. Also, the Android Lollipop OS running this smartphone has been treated with Xiaomi’s homegrown MIUI 6 software. There are two SIM card slots inside, both supporting 4G networks.

Moving on to the cameras, the Mi Note Pro has a 13MP main one integrating a Sony IMX214 image sensor and paired with dual tone LED flash. Perched above the display on the front is a 4MP snapper. All in all, the forthcoming Xiaomi device has the makings of a flagship with the advantage of the comparatively low price on its side.
The Mi Note on the other hand, makes do with 3GB RAM, a 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 801 processor. As for the choice of SoC in the Pro version, GSMArena notes that the company has handled its overheating issue by a smartly engineered thermal distribution design, unlike Samsung which chose to solve it by using Exynos instead.

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro specifications:
– Android Lollipop w/ MIUI 6
– 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM
– 13MP and 4MP cameras
– 5.7-inch 2560 x 1440p display
– Snapdragon 810 processor

I'm very excited for about this phone. I hope there will be nice software development for it.
Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.
I've been using a Huawei Mate 7 for nearly a year now and I'm fine with the size factor of it, and I think I'd like the even larger size of the Phab 2. I can't wait to see some tests on the finished product and some camera samples. :fingers-crossed:
Good to know that it does have NFC, GsmArena doesn't have NFC listed for it, but not having USB OTG is a bummer. I also wonder if it has MHL and WiFi Direct.
I just signed up for when its going to be released, this might be my next new phone.
I would love it if this phone had CDMA compatibility. I'm stuck on Verizon in my area, so once again I'm disappointed...

I don't like it either. But unfortunately CDMA only takes up 15% of the market (mostly North America) while the GSM standard takes up 85% of the market share. So if I were a smartphone manufacturer, unless I had an exclusive contract with Verizon or Sprint, I'd put all my energy towards making my device compatible with the most broadly used standard.
CDMA is starting to make some inroads in other countries, so maybe that will spur more device manufacturers to include the CDMA frequencies in future phones.
Thanks for the insight Clarkson. I didn't realize that there was such a big difference, but I knew there was one. This may be extremely naive, but doesn't it seem like they could just include CDMA radios and charge an extra $20 or something? I have a Nexus 6P that I'm extremely happy with right now, but I'm always on the lookout for my next phone. This one is unlocked and I activated it on Verizon, so I know they can do it!
Phone doesn't have NFC I posted this on Lenovo site and got answer from "Lenovo"
Does it have NFC ?

No it does not
Champagne Gold?
Any word on when champagne gold will be available? If I'm spending $500, why not be happy with the color?
The other disappointment for me is the micro USB. I suppose I can compromise on the lack of USB-C but I've been spoiled.
I currently use a ZTE Zmax Pro, a quick pick up after returning the Note 7. I discovered that I loved the 6-inch screen. Why not go for a 6.5 with higher screen resolution?
The camera and battery of the Phab 2 pro are much better. I'm a big OneNote stylus user so the screen real estate is more attractive to me than Tango.
[Queen OTE=H. Clarkson;67493220]Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.

I am glad the US is finally getting a phone this size with decent specs. I used to have the Z Ultra back in the past but their camera was dismal and had no flash but it was still a beast. I see the Phab 2 Pro as it's replacement for me as far as size, camera, screen resolution and full LTE support. I think Sony dropped the ball big time by not having a follow-up to the Z Ultra....I am currently using the Mate 8 but I have used the Mi Max and Honor Note 8 this year as well but the Mate 8 won me over and after I get this Phab 2 Pro..I will not get another phone for awhile
Z Ultra also had bezel from hell. Its touch screen eventually stopped working on me. I had the GPE.
4G LTE Verizon works

This phone works on Verizon 4G
Does this phone get calls over VoLTE or drop to 3G like the Phab 2?
01/26/17 EDIT: I had to go buy one to find out for myself... YES this device uses VoLTE (HD) For Calls.

The real smartphone king

In 2018 many new budget oriented smartphones were launched but lets see who is the real smartphone king. many big companies have are launching their budget smartphones but only few of them have actually proved themselves as mightiest.
in today's discussion i am going to say which smartphone has really good at it's price point.
I will list down top 3 budget smartphones (i.e upto 15,000 ruppes)
1. REDMI NOTE 5 PRO
The real beast still remains the redmi note 5 pro since it gives true value for money.
the phone feature's latest qualcomm snapdragon 636 octacore processor, 4GB ram and has dual rear facing camera i.e 12MP + 5MP dual camera
Sony primary sensor, 1.25μm pixels and 20MP front facing camera with led flash light and face unlock . Though the rear facing camera look's like iphone x but still result's pretty good. it also has 6 inch FHD+ display with new 18:9 aspect ratio and comes with massive 4000mah battery capacity.
however the smartphone higher GB varient i.e for 6GB ram, the pricing is still high.
2.ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1.
The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is just like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but includes stock Android. The same hardware that makes the Xiaomi phone on the best performers at that price, is also there on the Zenfone Max Pro M1(i.e snapdragon 636 octacore processors) .But the flavour is stock Android 8.1 Oreo. Apart from that you get a sturdy build quality and decent 16-megapixel dual cameras at the back. Easily one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
3.OPPO REALME 1.
this year oppo is launching quite unique and attractive products.This year now oppo has has launched it's new brand realme and it's one of the product realme 1 is one othe best smartphone of 2018
The Realme 1 is a new entrant in the mid-range market and it hopes to topple the best by offering a maxed-out spec sheet which includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage and Mediatek helio p60 processor which is even good than qualcomm snapdragon 636 processors. But because of missing fingerprint scanner and dual rear camera setup,i have placed it in 3rd position.But all that firepower surely makes the Realme 1 one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
