The Zenfone 3 Deluxe is also the first smartphone to make use of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 821 which has double the performance and efficiency of the 810, and brings up to 10% more performance than the 820. Consequently, the coupled Adreno 530 GPU offers a 40% improvement in graphics performance over the 430.

The Zenfone 3 Deluxe’s 23MP PixelMaster 3.0 Rear Camera captures photos with stunning clarity and detail, thanks to a Sony IMX318 Sensor. It houses the TriTech focus technology, which automatically selects which type of focus to use for your shots. It also has 4-axis photo OIS, 3-axis video EIS, a color-correction sensor, and an LED Flash. The 8MP front-facing camera is designed to take great selfies and is equipped with an 85° Wide-Angle lens.

For those who are eyeing for a more compact version of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, there is a 5.5-inch variant available, which still carries most of the goodies of its bigger brother, but instead houses a Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and a different camera sensor.
