Today saw the arrival of my ASUS Zenfone 3 Ultra, in keeping with the theme of reviewing extra large tablets I mean mobiles. The Zenfone 3 Ultra is as big as they come with a 6.8″ 1080p screen. Yep, it’s almost a 7″ tablet.
Specs are good, a full metal unibody, 23MP camera with OIS+DIS. Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 (8 cores 1.8Mhz max) CPU with Adreno 510 GPU, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB ROM. It’s running Android 6.0.1 with ZenUI 3 as the skin. Here is my unboxing video, first look, and first impressions.
So far I’m impressed, it looks great. But ASUS sure do pack a whole heap of bloatware in your face and try to force you to install all sorts of crap you don’t need or want. Lucky most of it can be removed and disabled, but you need a good 20 minutes to get through removing all the crap! (Samsung is just as bad)
While I’m enjoying my Mi Max with it’s 6.4″ screen, the 23MP OIS camera, and better build is what lured me into buying this one to review. Here are some snaps from that 23MP Sony 4:3 sensor.
The two similar images are HDR on and HDR off. The last three are low light shots. The last being a depth of field shot.
Finally as requested some low light photos. If you zoom in you’ll see a lot of details is captured, but there is a bit of oversharping.
