Question

Samsung v.s. Asus

Mar 28, 2017 9:26PM PDT

In terms of UI, which one is better?
Also, both offer some type of cloud space, except that Samsung seems to have a "premium" cloud option, which baffles me because I just can't find any detailed info about it!
Right now I'm debating on both Asus Zenfone 3 and Samsung A8
Any opinion?
TIA!

I vot for Asus all the way. Hands down. I owned a few Samsung phones in my lifetime, but Asus is a better brand when it comes to durability and performance.
