Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) simple unboxing and testing - Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Original post from my blog: https://www.ewjy.pw/asus-zf3-unboxing-en/
Actually, some of the photos were retaken afterwards.
I bought a Asus Zenfone 3 as the new main phone several days before, the model number is ZE520KL. I was very nervous because that was the first unboxing I had ever did. The original video was cancelled due to technical problems and I used pictures instead. Alright, here are the appearances:

Comparison of the old and new main phones (I was forced to change due to upturned screen and broken ear proximity sensor, etc.)
Performance of displaying picture
For music player, it is Google Play Music by default.
Playing tests for low and high resolution videos
480p
1080p
Photo taking tests
Without HDR
With HDR and exposure value set to -2
Lock screen
A final screenshot, did you find something weird? I am not sure whether it is a bug or it is true.
The responding speed of fingerprint module is quite fast, about 1(+/-1)s. In my opinion, it is quite cost-effective.
This is the first unboxing and testing of mine, there are many mistakes, I apologize for that.

How long is the USB cable?

Erm the ASUS websites worked well here for both Taiwan site and the global one. The camera is quite good for me as I'm not a professional photographer, you may view the photos I've taken in my original post for references.

Oops I might be misunderstood. After double checking, I found that ZE552KL has two versions with 3/4GB RAM+32/64GB ROM. The main difference between 520KL and 552KL is the screen size (5.2" for 520 and 5.5" for 552). Sorry for misleading you.

The battery is small, too in ZE552KL. It's good to know that 5.5 variant has 3GB variant, I was dying to get that confirmation. Let's hope asus launch that one too on 17th in India.

Yes, this phone supports dual SIM and dual active, but the SIM2 and the microSD card share the same slot, so you have to choose between SIM2 or microSD (i.e. you cannot insert SIM2 if you inserted microSD card).

Sorry, I may confused. After checking Asus Taiwan Store again, there is NO 3GB variant for ZE552KL. I am not sure if there is 3GB variant in other countries. Sorry for providing unclear information.

How to Increase the Processor Speed?

Did anyone know about How to Increase the Processor Speed?
You can't as of yet.
The OMAP processor from the Wizard, Artemis (and others) could be easily overclocked, but no one has made and progress with the Qualcomm MSM one yet.

Yes - the key is to ensure the hex driver fits the nut then tighten - has stated earlier right = tighter = more processor speed, you must be careful as these devices don't have cooling fans so you may need to fit some form of liquid cooling to achieve the higher clock speeds shown.
Hope this helps - Oh and after you have immersed the device in the water cooling system it may show a funny blank screen. Good luck were all keen to see the photo's.
It think i'd rather be Safe then Sorry, quiet happy with 400mhz. If people want more speed buy the Diamond/Diamond Pro or get a UMPC...

I just registered to reply to this as I came across the Doogee DG350 on focal price today and have bought one, after doing a Google search for reviews etc I came across your post. The 4.7 720p screen with the MTK6582 quad core and 1GB is what sets this apart from other handsets at this price, otherwise you would have to sacrifice resolution, screen size or CPU cores. Can't wait for it to arrive, even more so can't wait to see if you can manage to root it and try out some custom FW :good:

yeah the touchscreen works fine, except I've noticed that when taking photos using the stock camera app that the onscreen shutter button only appears to work with a certain section of the button and if pressed elsewhere on the button it does not work (hence appearing to look like lag on the bottom part of the touchscreen), IMO this is not a problem with the touchscreen but with the camera app itself and hopefully future updates will fix this or you could use the volume button as the shutter or use a different camera app entirely though I havent tried any other camera apps as I just got used to pressing the shutter button in the right location or just used the volume button.
EDIT: the battery life seems to be fine so far however only been using for 3 days and today since the morning till now (9pm) the battery has gone done to 66% after some light use during the morning and wifi use (downloading GPS maps ~400mb) in the afternoon.
Hope this clears things up or maybe even made you even more confused
Good luck
Thank you for your review, I also thought that the lag was from the stock camera app and not the hardware- so I recommend to use the great Lenovo Super Camera:

Hi,
Thanks for the app suggestion, will try it as soon as I get time to
Also I'm wondering if anyone has started to develop custom roms for the Doogee DG350 (or Umi X1 Pro) because that would be awesome as I'm keen to see if Kitkat would work on this. Realistically I guess I would have to wait for a larger user base before anyone would start developing custom roms but its worth a shot
Thanks,

hi :] I want to buy it for my girlfriend...

Hi Arielbgb,
I don't really have any experience with the Newman N2 but just checking the pandawill site specs, the phone appears to be have better specs (better back camera, 8gb rom compared with 4gb, etc) than the DG350 but if you do believe the Newman N2 might have problems you should probably ask the Pandawill site what their returns policy is just incase something goes wrong, the DG350 might have problems as well its pretty early on from release so you can't really tell till sometime has passed.
Also the Newman N2 appears to have better community dev support with some custom roms already available. Overall what type of phone you want is down to personal preference and if the N2 doesnt have any problems it looks like the better phone IMO but I guess the DG350 looks more stylistic however the N2 probably has cases that will improve the look, I probably would have got the N2 phone too if I had known about it before I purchased my DG350.
Hope this helps somewhat and goodluck with whatever phone you choose
EDIT: I haven't come across any other problems with my DG350

I ordered this device and I am waiting yet. However, I was talking with other Doogee Dg350 users and:
No GPS problem if you root it and use mtkdroidtools.
Camera issue is known by Doogee and they are working on it to fix it.
Touchscreen seems to work better with another launcher as Nova, but the problem is still there. In addition, when the device is on a table, bottom touch doest not work properly.
There is a video issue. Every 8-10 seconds, the video has a strange behaviour. Something like black frames or similar.
Youtube video has lag. It is a "hardware decode" issue. If you install another app that allows you to change to "software decode", the problem is solved. For instance, Viral Youtube or MXPlayer.
Anyway, these all problems were sent to Doogee technical service.
Doogee from last year began to develop mobile phone, the quality of the mobile phone will have certain problems.

Thanks for the list of problems Mabil, I can confirm the video blackscreen issue and the youtube issue doesnt seem to be very apparent when using the official youtube app however using the browser version there is evident lag. So far I havent ran into any problems with the touchscreen itself, it maybe for some users only.
Also I'm wondering if there is any dedicated forum to the Doogee DG350/Umi X1 Pro or where you were talking to other DG350 users?
I would make sure that the GPS works on the N2, had the biggest disappointment with my newly bought K18.
After trying to contact Newman several times with no success I decided that I am done with them.
Worst GPS ever, I also ordered the Doodgee DG350, cant wait for it to arrive.
Its very similar to the Inew V3. So far I only read good stuff about it aaaaaand GPS works fine es well.
thanks for the help :]
I also read that the gps on newman n2 working very bad.
so I think i choose dg350 :] r u sure that the gps working well? maybe any screenshots on "gps test" from some1 who have it?

It looks gorgeous, but the fp placement ruined it
I prefer the front fp placement because of unlocking from the table right away without lifting the phone. The Huawei phone with rear fp, will have on screen navigation keys (= less screen estate) as Huawei barely uses Capacitive ones. And i think this shape takes least space compared to the round iphone or on the meizu phone. So ease of use and maximum usage of front bottom bezel.
The best fp placement is on the side (in the power button)

Make sure you get an unlocked version and see if setting up english language works for you as changing the system language is easy but apps still shows chinese. And also, you may need to work and put some effort in getting google work. ( no google framework or playstore).
Do check properly and get some hands on rather ordering online or checking a dummy handset.

Yep. I know about phones in china, no phones are locked in china, unless sold from dedicated carriers, but some carriers request a dedicated sim slot for there sim, but from the information in huawei's site, both slots is opened to all network, but one will be locked to 2G, if the other is using 3G or 4G.
and yes, play store is not available in china, it needs to be modded into the phone, some will work, whiles some don't, I'll just have to try, otherwise I will just have to side upload apk.

Wow neat!
Ok so here are a few:
1) How'd you get it early? If from UK, where did you order it from?
2) does portrait mode look any good? - I hated it on the note 8 as images were so soft and it didn't have HDR.

Yep I was on same boat I only changed because I dont like keeping my phones more than a year. The raw power is there, phone is very smooth and responsive no red tint as in s8. Netflix HDR is enabled as well. Only problem is the web rendering benchmarks etc in running a gfx benchmark.i think a software update can fix this anyway

GPU Turbo updates starts rolling out in Europe

Honor France just gave news about GPU Turbo update: Rollout just started in Europe (L29-C432 varient)
https://twitter.com/Honor_FR/status/1025380935334805505
this have any effect outside of gaming?
becuz i dont play gamez on my phone.
Don't apps need to be specifically coded to take advantage of GPU Turbo? Or does it just automatically apply to everything out of the box?

The official change log says it does, but I can't find it in the camera app anywhere.
Maybe they made a mistake and accidentally added that line?
Anyone got this in the UK yet? Tried updating through the phone and HiSuite but nothing so far...

Dude they told us earlier that the next update should have both GPU turbo and night mode, followed by AIS in another update. I'm trying to be optimistic

Hmm, have you tried the 'old' night mode? Maybe it was replaced with it. Or maybe it works with AI scene recognition. Anyway, the super slow-mo video is there in camera app? Thanks for info, mine L29 has not received the update yet.

Looking on Twitter this doesn’t seem to have rolled out as promised yet, no one is reporting having received the update.

I tried using the original Night Mode and there was no difference. “480FPS” was enabled, however it’s clearly an interpolation effect with the camera recording at a lower frame rate. I’d say that the camera is actually recording at 120 or 240FPS and just using an optical flow effect to fill in the rest of the frames.
Its been out but not google approved yet. So just wait few more days and you will get it. Usually the updates are going in batches and not all at once
And what this update will bring in your device

May I know which country you're from? It's really frustrating to see that other people are already getting the update while you're still stuck checking for system updates every hour
Sure, I'm from Poland. I was in beta tests of GPU Turbo update (build 8.1.0.140)
Changelog doesn't mention it, but GPU Turbo and new slow motion was included then
