Background and Identification
The Asus ZenFone 3 Android smartphone was introduced by Asus in August 2016 as part of the Asus ZenFone line. AsusTek Computer Inc. is a Taiwanese computer and phone hardware and electronics manufacturer. The ZenFone 3 model ZE552KL is just one phone in the ZenFone 3 series, which includes the ZenFone 3 Max, ZenFone 3 Laser, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Ultra. The Asus ZenFone 3 (ZE552KL) was released in dark blue, white, and gold body colors.
The Asus ZenFone 3 (ZE552KL) includes a non-removable 3000 mAh battery (a non-removable battery is one whose adhesive is permanent, making repair and replacement difficult). It features a 5.5-inch display with a Gorilla Glass back and front and an aluminum frame. The ZE552KL model includes a 16-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
The Asus ZenFone 3 (ZE552KL) can be identified by the name “Asus” engraved in capital letters in the bottom center of the phone’s back. The phone’s camera and fingerprint scanner are positioned in the top center of the back. The ZenFone 3 includes Android’s three-button navigation in the bottom bezel of the phone’s front. The leftmost button, which is shaped like an arrow or a left-facing triangle, functions as a back button. Tapping the rightmost button displays all the apps currently running on the device. The center button takes users to the home screen. The ZE552KL model and other ZenFone models generally include a sticker in the lower bottom portion of the phones’ backing with identifying information like the model number.
