Is MSRP the problem? Rough estimate for flagship Asus base variant released in past yrs were around INR 40K (about 539 USD), or even @INR 45K (about 605 USD)
Asus will go in loses. Simply beacause International prices for base variant are starting at 700 USD (in store price)
Or maybe the top bosses and managers are facing indirect redtape or maybe getting kickbacks from other brands to delay and keep blaming logistics?

The Zenfone 8 seems to be almost perfect for me, as if it's the phone I've been waiting years for; with its practical size, great specs, and features that actually improve usability (3.5 mm jack, LED-indicator). Unlike others here, I love the sober but elegant design. The deal breaker, however, is that security updates will likely end within two years. I can't rationalize spending €700 on a phone if i can't get at least 3-4 years of good use out of it. For me, longevity is the main reason to buy a high spec phone. I would even pay extra for extended updates if the company were upfront about the cost.
It's far too difficult to find practical (i.e. smaller, fewer bells and whistles, high spec), well made phones. But I guess we know what happened to Nokia.

Waiting for this phone to launch as well. It appears like it will be one of those "Big Billion" launches, so early October. If it doesn't launch then, the probably never.
Going by how Asus priced the 6z and factoring in current exchange rates, the base variant (6GB/128GB) should launch at 42-45k.

Will this phone come to India? Since it's worldwide launch Asus India has been saying that it will be launched. It's almost September. Does anyone have any information regarding its launch & pricing?

Very good phone, fast, lots of options in settings. Good speakers and amazing sound from audio output (on Sony IER-M7 earphones). Mnimal smaller than Pixel 4XL. Last update fixed quality of voice on my provider. 8/256 version.

Maybe you noticed how many companies started to release airpods and whatever equivalents since they started skimping on the 3.5mm jack.

Yes you're right about the cheaper phones, so why is it that the big name flagship phones don't have this feature and delete the headphone jack? Seems they charge more for less features.

I've had this phone for two months and it's the best phone I've ever had.
Just discovered the smart alarm function, the alarm will work even with the phone turned off.
If it had wireless charging it would be a 10/10 phone, so Ill rate it a 9.5.

the phone asus doesn't want you to buy in india.
this would have been a solid phone to buy (not the best because what really is, but solid) if it was even available.
thankfully asus makes your choices easier by not participating in the race, just like sony. such helpful brands.
depending on what you want, your choices are nothing atm, but keep an eye out for pixel 5a, 6, or samsung a52s.
