Description:
A step-down model of the original Asus Zenfone 3 (ZE552KL), the Zenfone 3 ZE520KL drops from a 64GB/4GB memory/RAM combo down to only 32GB/3GB, with a lower battery capacity (2650mAh) as well. That said, many of the first model's upscale specifications, which include a dual 2.5D-curved glass finish, a 16-megapixel PixelMaster rear camera, and a 2GHz eight-core 64-bit (14nm) Snapdragon 625 CPU, remained intact.
On other fronts, this high-ranking Zenfone also features chip-level fingerprint security, an 8-megapixel front-facing f/2.0 camera, and an LTE Cat 6 adapter promising up to 300Mbps data rates. Its 5.2-inch Full HD display meets users with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow platform skinned with Asus's signature ZenUI v3.0.
Also known as: Asus ZE520KL.
