It's Lenovo.
They don't know nothing about upgrades and phone software. They have been steadily going downhill since they bought Motorola.
Buy one and see what you think

Moto g5 has a lower price but also :
Asus and Lenovo cant match
Build quality of asus is far better than plastic moto
Dual camera is big advantage over g5
Design depends on your taste but for me asus wins by far also
Battery at least on paper again on asus side with non power hungry chipset
so that few advantages lead me to buy an asus over moto :) i also wish that asus is priced about 250$ but then asus cant make profit right? so im ok with that (ofc it depends on personal needs and opinions)
and for end of my opinion one thing i dont like about moto :D cops in my country use Motorola radios and i dont like cops at all i mean who likes ? :D its just funny fact not hate :D

Why are most mobile phone companies not making phones that are all round adorable to buys....high end spec, water resistant, shatter proof glass"... and not some fragile awesome looking phone that might run crazy when it accidentally falls into water or an accidental drop......a company that comes up with a shatter proof glass like Moto did, then water resistant, good hardware....thats it. boom
but some normal copy of an older phone or just minor change in spec with some camera will get people like"well ok"... thats it?

It´s basically a zenfone 3 with improved camera specs and metal case...Is it any worth? Asus should have improoved the overall specs to make it more atractive than it is. For most of us the 16mp camera of the zenfone 3 is more than enough.

AnonD-599001, 09 May 2017... You could get the Moto G5 Plus for better specs and low... more- Same processor
- The G5 Plus is thicker but has a much smaller battery (7.99mm vs 9.7mm)
- G5 Plus has a smaller screen but is only slightly smaller
- Zenfone 3 Zoom has Gorilla Glass 5 while the G5 Plus still has Gorilla Glass 3
- G5 Plus doesn't have OIS or RAW despite having the same sensor
- Zenfone 3 Zoom has 2.3x optical zoom
- G5 Plus only has a 5MP selfie camera vs a 13MP selfie camera
- 3000 mAh battery in the G5 Plus vs 5000 mAh
- The G5 Plus doesn't have dual SIM
- G5 Plus is still using micro-USB while the Zenfone 3 Zoom is using USB-C
For $100 less the G5 Plus is probably more budget friendly but the Zenfone 3 Zoom is the better phone

Negative:
Quite pricey for a Snapdragon 625 phone. I am willing for 50%- 70% higher cost of a Redmi Note 4
