Not a smartphone, yet not a tablet. So what do you call this 6.8-inch monster? Whatever it is, the size is intimidating. Imagine you carry it around; it must be a huge task right? Don’t think there’s going to be a jeans or pants that can comfortably put it in your pocket without a noticeable bulge. So you ought to find a clutch bag which can add to your fashion statement even further. Thankfully it has a slim and rather a light body which belies its huge screen.

You might think that a big-sized phablet at most has just some mid-range specs to it, but not with Zenfone 3 Ultra. The slim size and rather lightweight is a blessing as it does help in managing the phablet better with both hands.

The fingerprint sensor and Gorilla Glass 4 is pretty useful to have on the Zenfone 3 Ultra as well. As for the hardware, you expect it to be able to run almost everything that you throw at if just fine.

But the best part that you will love about the Zenfone 3 Ultra is the fact that it comes with an awesome 23MP primary camera. Packed with awesome features, the camera is one of the best available out there for a smartphone camera. You will be snapping away most of the time as you want to capture all the best moments in your life.

Then comes the restriction about how much space you have. With a photo that is almost 20MB in size for that high of a resolution, you would want to be assured of sufficient storage space to keep you going. This is where you can choose either to have 32GB, 64GB or 128GB and if that’s not enough – go ahead to add in an additional 256GB via the microSD slot.

Last but not least, the 4600 mAh battery which comes with Fast battery charging will ensure very minimal downtime where you need to plug in the phablet to a power source.
