So my Zenfone story? 


I am Samsung fan way back 2014, since Samsung Galaxy S3 to S6 era. But when Asus released the Zenfone lineup, i decided to shift and i sell my Samsung unit and I bought the latest offering of Asus way back then, the Zenfone 5! Since then I started to love Asus! Nyeeeaaammm! To make the story short, my best experience is when i bought Zenfone 5, then Zenfone 2, then Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5, then Zenfone Selfie, then Zenfone 2 Max, and now I am using Zenfone 3 5.5 ZE552KL for 10 months! The camera is astonishing and the overall experience is incredible! Looking forward for the next generation of Zenfones! I will surely upgrade! Asus Zenfan here, for life! #WhenAsusIsLife

How did I meet my zenfone? I was working at manila when I decided to have a new android phone. I was fortunate because I can go to bigger malls and do the reviews by myself. I was particular with the specifications at that time, comparing several brands of android phones from their specs down to their prices. But then Zenfone 2 took my attention with its 4GB RAM at a low cost. I am confident at the same time at ease because ASUS has its name already in the field of TECHWORLD. I was amazed on how my zenfone2 responded quickly to the task given especially when I do multitasking or when I open various of applications simultaneously. The best part of using zenfone is the CAMERA. At first, I do not have any inputs about photography but with Zenfone 2's manual setting, I was able to learn some basics of photography. The ISO, Shutter Speed, Exposure. I can manually adjust the settings effortlessly, it is like I'm using a DSLR CAMERA.  With Zenfone 2, I challenged myself to take more pictures and learn along the way. Then here comes ZENFONE 3, with its new built, style and uniqueness. I let go of my zenfone 2 and bought a new zenfone 3 5.2 variant. My challenge in photography continues with my zenfone3, and luckily one of my picture was featured at “ASUS: ZENFONE BEST OF 2016 PHOTOS” entitled “LANTERN". I felt so proud of myself receiving that kind recognition about my photography despite of the fact that I’m still a newbie in that field. Zenfone is indeed built for photography. Zenfone series is the best quality android phones at a very reasonable and affordable prices. If given a chance I would suggest inviting ZENFONE PHOTO ARTISTS to have a photo shoot contest here at our place, ILIGAN CITY. That is to showcase and promote our grand waterfalls as Iligan City is renowned as the CITY OF MAESTIC WATERFALLS.

Whoa!  

Before switching to asus zenfone. I was looking for a phone that was almost perfect in terms of specs, price and quality. Then came asus Zenfone. From the popular sony xperia shifted to asus zenfone. The first and most thrilling part of buying or shifting from asus was looking for stocks. I bought my first zenfone, zenfone 5 and it was soo thrilling because almost all stores has limited stocks. Then i came to one store and struggled to get hands on a asus zenfone 5, after purchasing my very first zenfone i was so amazed that all other brands are like nothing to me. I was so proud having the zenfone 5 that i made some reviews and comparison and posted it on my fb wall so that my friends would see it. Right after posting friends of mine asked me if they could try ny new zenfone and there it started. I was so becoming a number one zenfan in cebu and started to create a fb page for asus zenfone users in cebu. I didn't expect that it will grow and it will be heard and seen by asus ph marketing admins. Given the opportunity we were invited to the very first asus zenmeet in cebu were i saw other zenfans users and after that i encourage and share my wonderful experience using asus zenfone. I made alot of my friends shift from other brands to asus. Even up to now i am very proud and will be continuously using and supporting asus ZENFONE. Currently im using a zenfone 3 max 5.2 from my previous asus zenfone selfie, zenfone laser 5.5, zenfone max 5.5, zenfone laser 5.0, zenfone Go 5.0, zenfone 4C, fonepad 8, zenpad 7, and my very first zenfone 5 is still even now works 100%  

Hi guys! It's me and let me share my ZenStory.


Which ZenFone model did you first buy?

Okay, before I'll talk about my first ZenFone, let me share to you what happened first. We were fresh graduates and got our first salary from our freelance work and a friend of mine bumped me and said that ASUS product lines looked promising. And I said, "What’s that? What's the brand again? Hmmm... Sorry! I don't recognized that brand." Sorry for being frank. I was just simply naive. To my surprise, my friend bought ASUS ZenFone 5 through Lazada. And wow! He never stopped bragging about his new phone. I know that friend very well. He's so picky so whenever he brags something, it is really worth noting. So, I borrowed his smartphone and wow, it was truly amazing - the performance, the build, the software. I was so intrigue, "What's with ASUS? What's with the ZenFone? How credible are they? Do their products meet with global standards and quality?" So, yeah, I did A LOT of researching, really, a lot. Details after details. Yes, that's how I am. When I research for a specific topic, I always go deep to the details... And guess what? ASUS captured my heart. I was captivated by how ASUS has been putting excellence and perfection coupled with engineering marvel and innovation into their products that they did not leave even a tiny detail (oh I love details) out of the picture. Wow! Just wow! So, to make the long story short: I bought my first ASUS product: ASUS MemoPad 7 ME176C (still keeps the box haha) and this device opened me with my first-hand experience with ASUS. Then with word-of-mouth, I start endorsing ASUS products to my family and relatives and guess what? We are now a family and a community of ASUS product users here haha! Awesome, right?! Then my needs upgraded and so was my device. A door opened for me to be able to buy ASUS ZenFone 5 Lite, my first ZenFone model. It was the device that matched my budget, since that time, I was still adjusting (and so was my spending habit). Then as a Web Developer, my needs upgraded as well, so I bought my new ASUS X555LB laptop then summer came and so I bought a ZenPower 10000mAh. And a year later, my phone got upgraded to ZenFone 2 ZE551ML.


Which ZenFone model are you using now?

I have a long and memorable years with ZenFone 2 ZE551ML. In fact, almost half of my Instagram posts were from that phone. Oh, how I miss it now - the time together. But last June, this year, 2017, I decided to upgrade to cope up with my demanding freelance job. It was time to let go my Z2 ZE551ML, but the good thing is that it's now at the hand of a friend whom I know is a caring person. So, after saving all the funds, I finally availed the pre-order of ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom. I mean, who wouldn't when you get all those freebies. It's hitting 2 target with 1 arrow - I got the most (yes, IMHO) perfectly balanced smartphone in the world (I could brag about it haha), and I got a load of freebies. Oh, I love freebies. Now, things are getting more exciting as I'm starting to experience an unparalled smartphone designed to catch every scenario at every moment needed. Let's see how things unfold as I'm catching every moment with my new ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom.


Why you love the ASUS ZenFone series?

To say, "I like them," is an understatement because the truth is: "I LOVE them!" What makes the ZenFone series apart from others? Simply: because it's ASUS'! Every generation of ZenFone is an unravelling of what ASUS is and its core. Each series is the result of ASUS' continuing pursuit in the search of incredible. Innovation after innovation, design and aesthetics that goes beyond norm and challenges current breakthrough. And each ZenFone is not simply a gimmick but well-researched, thoroughly-planned piece of engineering marvel that is designed with deep understanding and true compassion for the needs of its users and cost-effectiveness as well. Users with various needs can find great refuge among the series. We, users, are being offered with products that suits our unique needs - photography, performance, battery, and a lot more.


Your best experience when using your ASUS ZenFone

My best experience with my ASUS ZenFone? CUSTOMIZATION and COMMUNITY!

CUSTOMIZATION. Done are the days when it has to be the user that needs adopt and adjust to their devices. Bye bye! From purchase, users can choose among the series the one that suits their needs. You need longer battery life? Choose ZenFone Max. Beast performance? Deluxe. Screen real estate? Ultra. Photography? Zoom. Don't know where to start? ZenFone base models. Why is this so? Because ASUS understands that each person has unique needs, thus conceive a lineup of unique products.

COMMUNITY. Having a ZenFone is awesome, but being part of a community of ZenFone users is rewarding! It's inspiring to get to hang with other users, get to share ideas and to learn from them too. And if a user encounters some issues, the community is just one post away and all will be glad to help and assist you, and sometimes takes it an opportunity to make a meme for you haha! Now, that's fun!


Suggestions for future events in your area

I have to admit. The area where I reside isn't flocked with events as opposed to metro cities. Well, I understand because there are lots of factors to consider as well. So online events is really my only avenue for participation. So, it would not be a wonder if I participate a lot on online events since on-premise events are inaccessible from here.


So, there you have it! I know each of us has unique ZenStory. And I’ll glad to be able to share it to you. I’ll also look forward to your ZenStory as well! So long!

Ans: Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.2 (ZC520TL)

3. Why you love the ASUS ZenFone series?
Ans: I love ASUS Zenfone series because it provides me the chance to use and select a phone based on my preference and lifestyle. It is like owning a phone with a customize capability anchored to the preference of the owner, e.g. Battery lifespan, camera capability, design, fingerprint and the like. The ASUS Zenfone series also provides an array of specification at par with other brands without prejudicing the aesthetic feature of the phone. Lastly, ASUS Zenfone series is more affordable across different social strata of prospect buyers, yet with formidable features comparable (quiet more higher) with other brands of the same line/series.

4. Your best experience when using your ASUS ZenFone.
Ans: My best experience in using my ASUS ZenFone was the time when I captured the greatest (so far) smile angle of my first born child. The picture I took was beyond words to describe.

5. Suggestions for future events in your area.
Ans: Having a hectic schedule due to office attendance demand, I humbly suggest to ASUS team to have caravan sale/promotion on Asus Zenfone Series and Asus Accessories to prospect users in big industries and government institutions; because buyers of this big industries and government institution will be given the chance to have at hand appreciation of the devices, the ASUS phone can offer. Due to the influx of many phone manufacturers, sometimes, would-be buyers of phone were victims of so much propaganda, hence the caravan/sale to this mentioned big industries and government institutions will pave the way in meeting the needs and demands of the populace.
