Asus has made two new important additions. One of them is the fingerprint sensor, positioned at the back of the unit. It not only unlocks the device, but also triggers the camera, takes pictures and attends to connections.

Games
The other is that of the Game Genie, the platform is made for players of games mobile. Functioning as a layer running on the action of games, the system enables the transmission of online matches on YouTube and Twitch and even improves the performance of the smartphone during the gameplay.

The Game Genie makes the Zenfone a candidate that is the darling of gamers addicted to apps, in close contest with the Galaxy S7 and S7, which have the Game Launcher.

Camera
The screen Zenfone 3 remains with a size of 5.5 inches and Full HD resolution of its predecessor. The processor, however, gave a jump, and now is the Snapdragon 625 –an octa-core with 2 GHz of speed, more powerful than the quad-core in the Zenfone 2.

The cameras also gave a jump, capacity and functions. The rear can record pictures of 16 MP and front 8 MP. Only by pressing the mode Super-Resolution, the images come out with up to 64 MP. The filming made with the smartphone have also evolved. Now, you can be recorded with a resolution of 4K (ultra high definition, 3840 x 2160 pixels) and have setting HDR in real-time. The focus of the laser was faster: it takes a 0,03 second to leave the object clear.

Design
The design has also changed. Before, the chassis was plastic, and the back of the unit had a spine that was well in hand. The Zenfone 3 is made in a single piece of aluminum alloy, and the back is smooth and made of glass. The lack of fit can leave the fumbling hands shaking.

Android
The negative point of the Zenfone 3 is the software. The company has applied the interface ZenUi Android 6.0. In some situations, the modification leaves the system’s operation confusing and hides some of the features –where are my screenshots? Who was it that took the Super Resolution of the camera’s settings menu?.

With several programs pre-installed, the Zenfone 3 brings apps spare parts, such as, for example, the browser Puffin and Chrome, the image capture (Camera and ZenFlash S Camera, storage (Drive and ASUS WebStorage). With this, the smartphone has the potential to do the most unsuspecting spend all the time gain with processing and resource efficient in the search for apps that will not use.
