ASUS Zenfone 3 (Gold, 32 GB)  (3 GB RAM)

The colour and contrast of the videos you watch on this smartphone won't be compromised even if you're looking at the large, 13.2-cm screen from an extreme angle, thanks to super IPS+ technology. It produces images at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, so the characters and backgrounds of the videos you watch will be well-defined in full HD quality. You can set the display to emit a brightness level of up to 600 nits to ensure that videos are clear even when you're watching them in brightly lit environments. A 2.1-mm-thin bezel and a screen-to-body ratio of 77.3% are among other features that make the ZenFone 3 a lot less bulky.

Mesmerize your friends on Instagram with your photography skills. Use the 16-MP rear camera, which is complemented by ASUS' PixelMaster 3.0 technology, to capture rich, crystal-clear images of the interesting sights that pass you by every day. A large, f/2.0 aperture lens adds more clarity to your clicks. Thanks to ASUS' TriTech autofocus technology, the camera can automatically focus on a subject in a matter of just 0.03 seconds, making it perfect for when you're trying to take pictures of fast-moving objects. A colour-correction sensor makes for naturally vibrant photos. The optical and electronic image stabilization functions ensure that your snaps and videos are free of blurring.

TriTech autofocus technology combines three focusing technologies (laser, phase detection and continuous autofocus) to focus on subjects in just 0.03 seconds - that's almost 10 times quicker than the time people take to blink.

When you're at a concert taking photos, people are bound to bump into you. Though, this doesn't have to affect the clarity of your images, thanks to this phone's four-axis optical image stabilizer (OIS). It ensures that your hand movements don't distort the clarity of the photos you take. A three-axis electronic image stabilizer (EIS) does the same for the videos you shoot.

Deep trench isolation technology prevents photons of light from leaking between pixels on the sensor, adding greater clarity to images. This phone's colour-correction sensor identifies unusually lit subjects in photos and makes them look more natural. The 4x Super Resolution feature makes for highly detailed images. You can also use the Real-time HDR feature for beautifully highlighted, dramatic photos.

The ZenFone 3 performs just as beautifully as it looks. A 64-bit, 2.0-GHz, Snapdragon 625, octa-core processor and 4 GB of RAM make the ZenFone 3 masterful when it comes to performance. Even if you're running multiple applications at the same time and are switching between them regularly, it's highly unlikely that you'll experience lag. An Adreno 506 GPU further adds to the impressiveness of this smartphone, giving it the power to run graphics-rich games seamlessly. 14nm fin field effect transistors reduce power consumption by up to 35%, making this smartphone highly efficient at conserving energy. Add 4G LTE support to the package and you have a smartphone that offers download speeds of up 300 Mbps even when you're travelling. Not only can you use the USB Type-C port to transfer data with other smart devices in no time, you can also quickly charge the ZenFone 3 with it.

You can effortlessly reach for this smartphone's fingerprint sensor as it has been ergonomically placed behind the phone. It's been positioned to suit the way people hold a phone. The sensor can recognize up to 5 different fingerprints. And, no matter how you place your finger on the sensor, it'll recognize it, thanks to the 360-degree recognition feature.

The five-magnet speaker construction, expansive sound chamber and metal voice coil of this smartphone make for a truly immersive audio experience. High-Res Audio certification means every time you put on your headphones or earbuds and listen to music from this smartphone, you'll hear sounds in 24-bit/192kHz quality at the least, which is almost four times better than CD quality.
