    I remember when this smartphone come out I really wanted too buy it badly but was willing too pay much for a phone with a without a oled screen and mid tier processor

    So I waited for it too go on sale and lose all of it's value then I was going buy it but that never happened and the phone was gone forever with nowhere to buy it from at all :(

          Lol I can't believe that out of all the three syllables words they went with Alissa. Way to brand themselves as copycats. This reminds me of the McDowell's guy in Coming to America.

            - a better SoC, SDM636,
            - bigger screen,
            - much bigger akku (5000mAh),
            - 3 Slots
            and so one . . .
            and has there NFC as well.
            ... and free original ASUS Collection flip-case as well

                Hope their next phone offers better value for money.
                At $300 one can get a pocophone or honor 8x. Nokia 7.1 is a better buy too.

                    nkwama, 05 Dec 2018No Earphone Jack.You can clearly see the 3.5 mm audio jack on at least one of the images, and if you bothered to check the actual product website, you would've seen a photo of headphones, plugged through the actual audio jack into the Telephone.

                      lol US gov shills, Yandex makes billions based on security & privacy. Unlike google that sells your data, Yandex isn't willing to go bankrupt for selling the data they're said to protect.

                                  It's just made me sad, reading the first sentence, the first image of this article. Fully working Android phone with Google Apps (probably Google Assistant-ready too) and Yandex apps on its topping.

                                  You can't call this competition.

                                    nkwama, 05 Dec 2018No Earphone Jack.It has on top. If that tiny concavity doesn't look like a hfj to you. I dunno what is....

                                      Has a bit to big price and especially as how bad living in Russia is now and dont seem to get better with new sanctions that they get soon anyways. And well if your paranoid that China phones spy on you then Russia is worse. Russia is bigger threat to me then China.
