Considering that the ZenFone 3 will be available online and offline, Asus can reach a broader audience than before. For those who are looking for a phone that offers great design, and who would prefer ZenUI over stock Android, the ZenFone 3 definitely is a contender.
Asus has promised ANDROID OREO with next Gen ZenUI support for it's Zenfone 3 series.And there are some dev community support for the device in XDA forums.

Lenovo has quickly grown to become one of the largest smartphone makers in the world, and notably acquired Motorola and Medion as part of its strategy to build its presence in various world markets. But apart from these sub-brands and the Lenovo name itself, the company also markets some of its products under the online-only Zuk brand.
Unlike the metal bodies of most of this phone's competition, the Z2 Plus goes with a fibreglass frame to keep weight down and a magnesium alloy roll cage for sturdiness. The back of the phone is entirely glass, which looks and feels great, but is unfortunately a massive grime magnet.The bottom of the phone has the speaker grille, 3.5mm jack, and USB type-C port. The 3500mAh battery is safely hidden under the back and is not user-replaceable. The front of the phone has a multi-function home key, which also doubles up as the fingerprint sensor.
You can unlock the Lenovo Z2 Plus easily with the tap of a finger, thanks to its fingerprint sensor. Even if your fingers are oily or wet, you can unlock it without having to try multiple times, thanks to its CAC algorithm. The U-Touch Button allows you to use this phone in one hand easily and can be customized to launch your favourite apps.
