Short Review
- The Asus Zenfone Pegasus 3 features a sleek design with dimensions of 149.5 x 73.7 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 158.4g, available in gold, silver, gray, and rose gold.
- Its 5.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi, suitable for everyday use but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T720MP2 GPU, complemented by options of 2GB or 3GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with f/2.2 aperture and autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- The device is equipped with a robust 4100 mAh battery, ensuring extended usage without fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) with ZenUI, it offers a user-friendly interface but may lack the latest software features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The presence of a headphone jack adds to its versatility, despite the absence of stereo speakers.
