Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3


Asus adds a fourth member to the Zenfone 3 family, which slots into the entry-level segment. The Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3 shows a family resemblance, but is its own phone.

It has a metal unibody and a 5.2" screen with 2.5D curved glass on the front. The screen has 720p resolution, unlike the other three which are at 1080p. It does run Android 6.0 Marshmallow (skinned with Zen UI 3.0) on an octa-core processor (1.3 GHz) with 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM.

This is based on how much storage you get - 16 GB with 2 GB RAM or 32 GB with 3 GB. They cost CNY 1,300 (US$ 200/€ 175) and CNY 1,500 (US$ 230/€ 200) respectively. Those are the prices for China, elsewhere taxes and shipping will add a bit more.

For that kind of cash, you're getting a 13 MP main camera (f/2.2) and a 5 MP selfie camera (f/2.0). There's a fingerprint reader on the back and a large 4,100 mAh battery inside.


The Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3 is a dual-SIM phone with LTE connectivity (including VoLTE calling).
