The Asus ZenFone 3 along with the Deluxe and Ultra editions are making rounds online, and they are sporting hardware components that range from respectable to beast-like powerful.
Straight off the bat, each smartphone in the series has a specific purpose that they're designed to deliver flawlessly: the standard was made to appeal to thrifty customers, the Deluxe to compete with the top-of-the-line handsets in the current market and the Ultra to provide a great viewing experience for video content.
Now that the introductions are settled, here are the specs of the three:
Asus ZenFone 3
Display: 5.5-inch FHD IPS Display with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625
RAM: 3 GB to 4 GB
OS: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Asus ZenUI 3.0
Storage: 32 GB to 64 GB with microSD card support of up to 128 GB

Battery: 3,000 mAh
Ports: USB Type-C 2.0
Notable Features: Fingerprint scanner

With a low price point, the standard ZenFone 3 is putting up a pretty cost-effective solution, but as expected, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the other two have. At any rate, what it has to bring to table will likely put a smile on smartphone customers on a budget.
Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe
Display: 5.7-inch Super AMOLED Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
RAM: 6 GB
OS: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Asus ZenUI 3.0

Battery: 3,000 mAh

Notable Features: Fingerprint scanner, Quick Charge 3.0

Touted as the "world's first full-metal smartphone with invisible antenna design," the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is without a doubt the sleekest-looking handset out of the bunch. Sporting a Snapdragon 820 and USB Type-C 3.0, it clearly has a couple of advantages over the other two, not to mention that it's on par with other flagships in the competition.
Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 652
RAM: 3 GB to 4 GB

With such an enormous screen, the ZenFone 3 Ultra is definitely one eye-catching phablet. Even though it only has a slight boost performance-wise from the standard variant, it still packs in the largest battery pack out of the three, sharing a couple of features with the Deluxe model.
In light of the trio, it looks like Asus is more than determined to dominate the smartphone game, targeting multiple demographics in one impressive go. In other words, customers everywhere will likely find a handset that suits them among the three.
