Some people are quite complaining on the prices of the (regular) Asus Zenfone 3 after the official Philippine announcement so good thing, there are 2 available installment options that you can check in case that you are aiming for this one of the newest smartphones from the Taiwan-based brand
First option, straight from Asus Philippines as you can apply from their participating stores which are both available in 3 and 6 month installment plans at 0%. At 3 month option, you can get the 5.2 inch ZF3 at Php 5,665 per month and the 5.5 inch ZF3 at Php 6,331.37 a month. If you want to stretch it for 6 months option, the 5.2 inch ZF3 will be at Php 2,832.50/month while the 5.5 inch ZF3 will be at Php 3,165.83/month. Based on computation, looks like there's no need for a downpayment but you must have a partner credit card to apply.
The second option will be for those who do not have a credit card but also with the same 1 year warranty from Asus from Akulaku app and website. They have 3, 6 and 12 month options. For the 12 month plan, 5.2 inch ZF3 will have a Php 1,204/month with Php 2,549 downpayment. For 5.5 inch ZF3, you can have it at Php 1,346/month with Php 2,849 downpayment. You must complete the requirements for you to apply which I suggest you to download Akulaku app in Google Play store if do not have one yet.
I wonder what will be your choice with these 2 suggestions? You can put in your sentiments in the comments section.
