Absolutely useless! You are seriously addicted if you need "zen" mode to take a break from the digital life. And moreover, you can always use the Silent mode, DND or even turn-off the cellphone for a while than using the Zen mode. If one cannot do all of it, you need to seek help for cellphone/internet addiction!

    Completely useless feature, if you need Zen mode, you obviously need help, I mean if you cant stop using your phone, Zen mode will not help you

      Asu- oh its OP

        This is a good idea;
        It helps combat (and raise awareness) of internet and device addictions..
        Quite impressive.

          Maybe a derelict company like Zen doesn't want Asus and wants to pick on them because they're a minor smartphone company. Of course they don't want to pick on OnePlus for the Zen mode because Indians love OnePlus like Silicon Valley sees it as a religion.

            Anonymous, 01 Aug 2019zen.... Asus? LmaoDidn't know ASUS owned the Zen word. Why sue OnePlus only, might as well sue AMD!

              The people that might need Zen mode are the ones who are literally addicted to their phone, that they need a app to make them put it down.

                AnonD-241270, 01 Aug 2019thinking the same, why ASUS didnt sue to OP cause they use ... moreHow to patent or register a usual noun as "Zen"? That's just hillarious. Why are those round red things in my supermarket still called apple? SUE THEM!

                  I see ASUS beign sued in India cause some cheap, dirty company with "Zen" in the name win the battle and then ASUS only call it ASUS 6 in there instead of Zenfone 6.

                  And then OP did this, and nothing happens!

                    CompactPhones5ever, 01 Aug 2019Pointless - people who want digital detox have tons of apps... more"Die within 2 generations tops"

                    Isn't that normal? It's a rule of thumb for planned obsolescence. I always change my stuff for every 2 years (mobile) or 5 years (PC parts).

                    My Nokia 8's time is up as it served me for 2 years. I was thinking about replacing my Nokia 8 with Nokia 9.1 Pureview (with headphone jack), Nokia 8.2 (3.5mm jack and SD855), Asus Zenfone 6 or Huawei Mate 30 (with jack).

                        Already on my OP5 with beta a build.

                          Pointless - people who want digital detox have tons of apps like this available already, people who don't want it, won't use it.

                          Biggest joke is that 1+ 6/6T users have been begging for Nightscape 2.0 (night camera mode) and instead OnePlus gave them this trash generic app that Google Play is full off. OnePlus is starting to take a dump on its previous model users to boost the OP 7 sales, it's going to die within 2 generations top.
