AnonD-568580, 09 Jul 2019I don't know man, he has a right to complain as a consumer ... more... man it is a common state, even if a product is very popular.
Global versions of Xiaomi/ Redmi phones came allways months later
and never came US versions, despite Xiaomi is a much bigger player on phone-market.
It takes months to prepare production ...
and who complains, knows nothing about supply-chain & Co. for sure.
People are very impatient nowadays.

Can anyone confirm that this call issue with very distorted sound (because of the speaker being integrated inside the FlipCam) is only affecting the Indian variant? Or has someone with a variant for Europe, for example, experienced the same problem?
If it also affects the European version, I would be very surprised, as even GSMarena does not mention anything about this HUGE issue. Every phone should be able to handle calls... Otherwise it is just a small tablet... :(
If this is, in fact, a global issue (affecting all variants), it is incredible how a big issue like this passes the early stages of quality control and reaches the massive production stage!!!

This has always been Asus's problem when it comes to releasing new models of their smartphone, which in turn will make them lose money and people if you put out an attractive product like this.

The phone is very popular everywhere, can be bought mostly through pre-orders in Europe as well. Pre-orders are always sold out!
Only few smaller - not very wellknown - ASUS retailers have one version in stock left.
Thats it, if phone popular and price is good.

Unable to make calls with this phone. The microphone and earpiece do not work. After reading the comments this is the first thing I checked upon purchase and unfortunately the reviews are true. Calling doesn't work on this device. To make matters worse, I took it to service center and they are falsely blaming me for physically damaging the phone. It's funny because I took it to the center within 24 hours of unboxing the phone. I am going to register a formal complaint with the company for 1. manufacturing a defective product and 2. then trying to cover up.

Anonymous, 07 Jul 2019Can't even buy this phone anywhere in the USA. Not availabl... moreThis is part of ASUS biggest issue, they take the approach of Xiaomi, to control the supply to make the cost dow, so they cannot supply the phone on demand.
Not all Asia country can get the phone too.
This is the fate of smaller smartphone brand that try to compete with the market, but don't have the capacity to supply it.

One cannot make calls with this device purchased in India/Asia region. This is not a calling device. It's a great camera (only daylight), a decent gaming device and a reasonable screen with good battery - overall a great tablet device, which cannot make calls. There are no plans shared by Asus to fix the calling issue in upcoming updates. Please be mindful before purchasing.

Pros and cons and all, but HOLY SH*T this was announced as "released in May" , and it's STILL not on the US store in July?!?!?!?!
It's like they only want PR and don't want actual money?!?!?!
And no, I'm not going to import it from TW or EU for a +$200 premium.

Can't even buy this phone anywhere in the USA. Not available on Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, BhPhotoVideo, Ebay, etc. Banggood and GearBest have the Asian market version for a huge markup with limited band support in the US...

The call quality is pathetic. The voice that u hear is shrill yet low and it's very difficult to hear. The main purpose of a phone is gone with that. If anybody knows or has been in touch with Asus about this and if they have confirmed of a software upgrade to improve upon this then then u can consider buying this phone else u will be really disappointed . Let me know if anyone knows how to improve it else it's a waste.

Asus 6z scores well, but what about call quality and SAR value.
I guess SAR value is high.

Velkoz n Oems Death, 04 Jul 2019Come on guys, can we just stop and appreciate this phone. ... moreThis is the saying where every smartphone has their own pros and cons.
Each has their own selling point.
Price per feature wise, I think this Zenfone 6 has out value other smartphone on the market at the same price point. Redmi K20 Pro comes at very close competition, provided if K20 Pro really have global presence rather than just a market dependent smartphone.
Yes, this smartphone has cut corners, but with justifiable price point, meaning they perform cut corners in conjunction with the price cut too. They charge less with less features, they are much more honest than other overpriced brand out there.

The way I see this phone is only lacking IP rating (water resistant), no wireless charging, lack telephoto camera. Others lacking are choices for cost cutting.
AMOLED or LCD: It is about display quality, cost and also durability consideration. It still got a LCD screen, of course the reason it use LCD is to lower the selling price. ASUS decided don't want to go head to head to Samsung/LG/Huawei/Sony.
In Display or Physical Fingerprint Reader : Another choices thing, nothing is lacking here.
Both are fingerprint reader. In Display fingerprint only workable on AMOLED screen, so definitely LCD screen is out of question. It is more on the cool factor decision rather than a functional decision.
OIS/No OIS : This is very subjective. OIS in smartphone do not help much to improve the image quality. It is EIS and post processing that impact the most on the final resulting image. It is having the same high end camera sensor, but subjectively to exclude the OIS.
So, no right and wrong here, it is simply down to the choices. If AMOLED/Telephono/In Display fingerprint is the priority, at the low price there are Xiaomi Mi9, Redmi K20 Pro, all have their own pros and cons, and only Xiaomi Mi9 offer wireless charging at that price point, but with notched screen.
If you still not satisfy, please see the price again, clearly this smartphone is targeting different market segment.
PS: To be most fair, for notch less smartphone at this period, Redmi K20 Pro and ASUS Zenfone 6 are the starter for this year that sport SD855. Rise up there, there are Oneplus 7 Pro and OPPO Reno 10x Zoom.

Come on guys, can we just stop and appreciate this phone. Its a budget flagship with everything we need
Asus went all out for this price point and gave us all the wonderful specs out there. It may lack 2 to 3 critical things for you but it still have 10+ critical features that are soon to be extinct
Honestly, im also craving for Amoled screens ( since most comments talks about oleds anyways).
But with everything this phone has, I am more than willing to use LCDs " again " coz I know its going to be a worthy sacrifice
