I have always been using Asus Zenfone Max .
It's the best Phone, but only disappointment is the Charging socket .
Right after 1 year of buying Zenfone Max, It stopped charging, had to get the charging socket changed from the service center, and then after another year again it stopped charging, and had to pay 700 /- each time to have the socket changed and had to buy the charger as well which is 900/- as it also stopped working.
If ASUS CEO happens to read this, please change the charging socket or it's technology your company possess now.
Hope Asus will come up with wireless charging.
thank you

          The Asus ZenFone 5Z Price is 29000 and oneplus 6 price is 35,000. In my opinion if you could compromise little on cameras then Asus Zenfone 5z is great substitute for oneplus 6. But, not sure about software updates. :(

            Asus is doing a very good job in India - first the cheapest SD 636 phone, and now the cheapest SD 845. It's way better than OP6 in various aspects - a wide angle lens, stereo speakers, small size, SD card slot and FM radio.
            And this makes Xiaomi rethink its pricing of Mi 8 in India :P

                BlackJesus, 03 Jul 2018Then why is ASUS US listing the ZenFone 5z for 1999$ USD?I have 2 theories.

                1. It was an accidental error.
                2. It was an intentional meant to get people talking and spread awareness of the phone.

                  Why is the price so low? Surely there must be a reason.

                                    And for ones who doubt ZenUI, it's definitely still not as good as the vanilla ones, but it's pretty close to Grace UX from sammy. Also, it goes toe-to-toe w/ OP6 in everyday usage, and in the benchmark too.

                                    So no need to fuss tbh. Some might want that LCD to be replaced by an AMOLED tho. YMMV tho.

                                      Yosef W, 03 Jul 2018That red is alluring tho, like Zero Two from DarliFra lol (... moreYes. It's the only closest custom skin to stock, but I'm really interested how Asus nailed that price to compete against OP6!

                                        But yeah, now it's rather overrated imho, and their best feature now seems to be only their OxygenOS
