Asus US lists the Zenfone 5z at $1,999

28 June 2018
In what is undoubtedly an odd typo, the company advertises its flagship as costing twice as much as the iPhone X.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2018In Taiwan, 5Z started at below $500.Hello Friend.. Please pick me one up for $500.00 and ship it to: ( Address To Follow ) and, I'll send you the money to: ( Address Requested ) and that will be great!

    Asus is tightly government backed.

    This is a strategy to fight back tax war.

      The page seems to be work-in-progress, or draft, not final public release. So the $1,999 price is just placeholder, not actual sales price.

          Asus probably announcing car. So Asus Zenfone 5z would be a car branded phone like Porsche and Lamborghini. That's explain the high price.

            "AI cameras that think for you"

            For $1,999. Truly, this is a smartphone for someone who lacks of brain cells.

              Is it just my unactivated joke/trolls recognition, or these people are actually taking this seriously?

                  Purposely advertising as $1,999. Then make big 80% discount to attract customers. All lineup to buy Zenfone 5Z. Ok. Just kidding. It must be a typo. It has been removed.

                    Walter C. Dornez, 28 Jun 2018And it better make me breakfast Well it must do much more than that.

                      The prices has now been removed from the website.

                        It's the free market where everyone can price what ever they like. Same like in here we have commercials that Samsung A6 2017 has minus 140 euro price cut and the cost is 259 euro. While this phone have never cost 400 euro even when it was released year ago. People see it and go run for it while they get not price cut.

                                  Guys don't be shocked, Asus is making the market warm or next Gen. iPhones in 2.000$ price range. sure iPhone 15 will be as expensive as a Mercedes and it will be only a board, Apple did drop every single feature and you have to buy Display, headphone jack, charger port, charger, sim card tray, speakrs and etc. as dongle for 5.000$ extra.
