pocketbook89, 13 May 2021the best compact phone 2021 for android that it is 🥰Which area it's best in? Asus team is trying to create a hype before the release date?
No one seem to mention that Asus dumped SD card. And there is no tele cam. And two other cams produce terrible night shots.
Yes, the phone is a worthy market competitor (I personally appreciate the size) but doesn't have anything extraordinary, especially the looks.

    Anyone know how much will this be priced in India??

      Seriously never expected such a breakthrough phone from ASUS. Well done!

      My favorite phone thus far is still the iPhone X and it's the best size ever. The fact that this is around the same size with more advanced features makes me want to sell my iPhone 12 Pro Max for this... and get a few bucks back along the away. X)

                Anandtech in their hands-on review found that the sustained GPU performance. was no better than the Zenfone 7!

                    It seems the ROG tech Asus developed in the ROG phone has trickled down into this compact flagship. This may be Asus' best phone to date. I've never been a fan of Asus phones because of the quirky styling and features. The styling of this phone is bland but the features and pricing are on point. It may just change my view of Asus phones.

                    And for the Sony fanboys invading this thread. If any Sony phone scores as high as this one, I'd eat my hat.

                      No matter how much these Sony brand boys sell their Xperia on this forum, people stay away from a brand that is on ventilator support

                        Steve, 12 May 2021Just looked at the Photos taken by this phone. These photos... moreIPhone can't get white balance right and has poor details.
                        It lost against last years Zenfone 7 pro.

                          The Xperia 5 ii retails for $900 unlocked right now. It's a generation behind in almost every metric, much taller, half the RAM compared to the upgraded $800 base model Zenfone 8, much fewer 5g bands supported, slower charging, no wifi 6e. How is the Sony "more sensible" in any way?

                            Did you read the review?? Battery life is great. The endurance rating is less because of poor standby time. Standby time can be affected by multiple factors like which area you are in or which network you are using.

                                  Under 6” display, Snapdragon 888. Asus really giving their balls compared to Sony.

                                        Those bezels are really thick, bordering on ugly...If you are ready to spend 600 dollars on a phone, make yourself a favor, spend 100 dollars more and buy a real compact flagship, the S21. And think about OS, resale value, accessories availability, service centers, upgrades, ...etc.
