This week was strong for 5" phones. Well, 5.2" mostly but who's counting in a world of 5.7"-6" slabs.
The Huawei Honor 8 is essentially a more affordable version of the Huawei P9. It bears a 5.2" 1080p screen and is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 950 chipset with 3GB or 4GB of RAM. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and boasts a 12MP dual-pixel camera on the back (not P9's Leica cam, but it has bigger pixels).
Asus came out swinging and released a number of Zenfone 3 entries. We're not fans of this naming scheme since "Zenfone 3" refers to wildly different phones.
The Asus Zenfone 3 ZE520KL is the best of the bunch - it's the flagship 5.2" Zenfone 3. It has a 1080p screen, a capable Snapdragon 625 chipset running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. There's a 16MP/1080p camera with OIS, plus Laser and Phase detection AF. The selfie camera takes 8MP stills and 1080p videos. The Zenfone 3 ZE520KL also features a fingerprint reader and High-Res audio.
The Asus Zenfone 3 Max is another 5.2" entry, but closer to the Zenfone 3 Pegasus. The 4,100mAh battery puts the 'Max' in the name. The phone also has a 720p screen, a Snapdragon 615 chipset (again running 6.0 Marshmallow) and a 13MP/1080p camera with Laser AF.
A slight detour for a bigger model - the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has a 5.5" 1080p screen like the regular Zenfone 3 ZE552KL (see what we mean by confusing names?). The camera has Laser AF, but is lower-end - 13MP sensor and no Phase detection.
Then there's the entry-level phone - the Moto E3. The follow-up to the well-loved phone line has a bigger, sharper screen than its predecessor, 5" 720p, and a better camera too, 8MP. It still features water repellent nano-coating on the inside and, of course, runs a fresh, clean Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The Moto E3 is coming to the UK in early September at £100. It's not clear how it differs from the Moto G4 Play.
Not exactly new, but Verizon unveiled its own versions of the Moto Z flagships - the Moto Z Force Droid Edition and Moto Z Droid Edition.
I know redmi note 3 is 650, what im trying to say, with extra 2 core i dont think it will drain battery much. 650/652 quite power effecient
theoretically 650 is powerful but in real world usage 625 is close to it with less power consumption.
625 only use A53 cpu, but 650 has A72 cpu thats why i said it is weaker than 650. its not like i only refer to model number
