Asus Zenfone AR, Nexus 6P, LG V20: Key Feature
Nexus 6P is one of the best Stock-Android smartphone. It is the way Google wants users to experience and for those who want bloatware-free smartphone, Huawei's handset could be a solid choice. It also features 3450 mAh battery, which is considerably the biggest among the three, followed by Zenfone AR.
As far as the camera is concerned, Zenfone AR has the best pairings - packing 23 MP rear camera with OIS 4-axis and 3x zoom and 8 MP selfie shooter. The LG V20, however, isn't that far behind as it features dual-lens 16 MP rear-camera with LED Flash and OIS.
Zenfone AR features Tango-Daydream compatibility - and it's the world's first. This means that the phone is VR-ready and users are able to interact with the virtual worlds it creates, according to Mashable.
As of the moment, Asus hasn't revealed pricing for Zenfone AR and there is a guess that it could be priced expensive. However, when the day comes for it to launch, it could be a great buy for users who seek for up-to-date smartphone that's also VR-AR compatible.
For now, Nexus 6P seems to be the best in functionality, features and pricing.
