In the US, it's best to get the 'C' variant of this phone but I can't find that anywhere. Guess it's not out yet. This would be the phone to get if the 8GB RAM version is less than $600. If the Redmi K20 doesn't have US bands, this Zenfone may be my best option so far despite the Red Magic 3 being pretty darn good too.

      The 11th and 25th samples. Look at the word TAXI on the roofs of the cars, you can't read until the 5th taxi clearly on the Huawei, while on the Zenfone the second is already very blurry and the 3rd is unreadable. Also, on the Huawei you can see every blade of grass, while on the Zenfone is just green scrambled pixels. The Zenfone has a quarter of Huawei's resolution at best. At 100% even the Huawei has no business being a 40+mpx sensor, 15-20mpx should have been enough, but the Zenfone is just a joke, it has the resolving power of a 5mpx camera at best.

        Check autofocus benefits in selfie mode please.

                Perhaps I'll consider this phone whenever 5G variant launched.

                  For the first time in decades LCD is finally getting some credit for the advantages it does have.

                        Anonymous, 26 May 2019dont trust Asus or ZenUIZenUI sucks... fortunately this doesn't have it, it's got an Stock-ish Android OS.

                        This also has kernel source available and an unlockable bootloader, which means root and Custom Roms. Oh, plus the Camera API supports the Google Pixel App (Gcam), so that will be ported as well. Think of this like a OnePlus 7 software-wise, but cheaper, and with more hardware-features (and possibly slightly better customer service).

                          Anonymous, 26 May 2019It has that option already. On home page, you can stop the ... moreNope, go check it out properly.
                          You can only change the camera angle/tilt it through the ASUS Camera App.

                          I was simply asking for a Setting Toggle, or a lightweight App that can tilt it without using the camera. That way, the flap on the back can be used as a kickstand to watch videos without using your hands or an object. It might work, or maybe the flap might not be "long" enough to act as a prosthetic leg and keep the device standing/tilted.

                            @Andy93 not sure where you've seen 500$ for the US. The article talks about EUR prices,, i.e. 500. Though actual price is at 559EUR (in France at least). Also when comparing with US prices, note that they give prices before VAT as each states applies its own.

                                "The UK are getting ripped off though. 500 pounds is 635 dollars. "
                                The UK has 20% VAT, in the US that is not included in the price.

                                  Jason-x, 26 May 2019My friend you are mistaken ive watched so many reviewers an... moreI'm not mistaking, and it's not even an opinion, it's a fact. If you compare the Zenfone 6 to P30, the Zenfone 6 pictures in the gsmarena samples have a quarter of P30's real resolution. Maybe it was a bad copy of the phone, maybe they updated the camera processing afterwards, I don't know. I'm waiting for the full review samples, but I'm not very optimistic.

                                    I love this device but not available in my region (Pakistan) otherwise I would have bought it. Very few phones in this price range and specs has Pure Android

                                      Glad you mentioned about the sharper LCD panel. I used to promote OLED before I even have or experiecent it. However, living with a Samsung S8+, I noticed my Nexus 5 is definitely sharper and has more presence despite less brightness,contrast, saturation . The OLED is everthing but sharp, I can live with a cheaper and sharper LCD instead.

                                      The Zenfone 6 replaces OP as the flagship killer but I'd rather wait for Xiaomi's answer to these
