The presence of Iris scanner is a big bonus since it will help unlocking easier. Moreover, the addition of a 3500mAh battery is an added advantage. If you are a photography addict, you should consider Zenfone 3 Deluxe because it has a large 23MP camera. But you have to contend yourself to Full HD display.
