ASUS ZenFone 6 (ZS630KL-S855-6G64G-BK) - 6.4” FHD+ 2340x1080 All-Screen NanoEdge Display - 48MP Flip Camera – 6GB RAM - 64GB Storage - LTE Unlocked Dual SIM Cell Phone - US Warranty - Black

Great phone. I have used Asus components for years to build computers and never had an issue with any of it. I did not realize that they also made phones. My old phone was dying and the battery was not replaceable. As soon as I found out I tried to purchase the Zenphone 6. Unfortunately there were no USA Zenphones 6 available, so I had to wait about 6 months.Now that I have received it, it is spectacular. What I like is that the phone is not loaded with Apps that I will never use and some you are forced to pay for which sometimes doubles the price of a good phone.The phone is very smart in doing a lot of things and suggestions along the way using it for texting. The sound and battery life are spectacular. There are numerous options that allow you to personalize the phone they way that you want to. Good reception in fringe areas.There are many things that I could write about that are good, but the list is too long. Incredible.Con= The clear grip case that comes with the phone is too slippery and too thin to protect it, in case it gets dropped. You have to go aftermarket for that item.

Well I'll start by saying that the phone and display are beautiful. It's smoking fast. I'm on at&t, my signal has been strong. I can't say anything about the longevity of the flip cam as I've only had the phone for two weeks but so far it is more durable than I feared it may be. I really like the google assistant button. I have the two secondary functions set as torch and screen shot. Works real nice and it is convenient. The battery life is just absolutely stupid. I use my phone a lot during the day for light gaming, reddit, gps, dating apps ect. At the end of most days I still have 40% or more. Last Sunday I woke up and stayed in bed for three hours playing clash royale. After the lazy gaming session it still had 80% battery life if that gives you an example. I've spent a little time with the camera and haven't been disappointed. It is high quality no doubt. The software isn't bad but I'm sure it isn't close to google or apple. With that said, I have taken the best selfies that I personally have ever took with a phone to date. There isn't much not to like about this phone unless you really don't want a motorized camera or all glass phone. It is a big phone so if you aren't into that then you wont be into this. It is a media consumption monster. As far as UI and this version of android goes. I've used Samsung, LG, Motorola, and stock android. This is very close to stock and easy to navigate. There are a few things that could be better that I can list as negatives about and I'm sure they are cost cutting measures which is to be expected. The vibrating motor is very weak in comparison to almost every phone I have used. Also the auto brightness can be spot on and not at times. For example I mount the phone in the top right corner of my windshield on the way home from work to use waze. It seems like the sensor will think it is dark and dim the screen down low when I'm being blasted by sunlight through my window. The battery is so beast you could really leave it on max brightness if you wanted to. Those are my thoughts hope it helps.

So far nothing to complain about the phone. Fast, nice full screen, battery good for a couple of days, great flip camera!The earbuds came with the phone have a faulty mic (completely not working mic), not a big deal though.

Initially this seemed like a great phone. Screen is nice, photos were good. However 3 months after receiving it the flip camera does not properly retract nor extend all the way, the speakers have started to crackle at times and to add to this the physical volume button has fallen off. All of this under normal usage and with a protective case on it. In addition the Asus warranty does not cover repair of any of these issues so buyer beware. I'd stay away from this one and perhaps any Asus phone with this sort of support.

2nd update October:Dropping 2 stars for basically 2 reasons. The weight and the camera. Let me explain a bit about this because this is something people should take into consideration when getting this phone. The phone is heavy, theres no way around it. Its awkward that the zenfone 3 zoom with the same battery felt much lighter but because of the extra weight on the z6 it feels like any drop will destroy it.The other issue is the camera. Not so much the software but the hardware flip mechanism. Thoughout normal use the camera will move out of its closed position even if just a little and then you can 'rattle' it by shaking your phone. Now I know why there is a retract camera option in the drop down menu because the camera does have the capability to move out on its own a bit from what I can only assume to protect it from breaking. Now before you freak out about this, its not opening all the way just pushing out a few mm. This happens also when you toss your phone on a bed, that 'shock' from the toss pops it out a bit which get really really annoying and makes me question its longevity. Also if you tap your finger on the top of the phone on the camera plastic piece it makes a plastic-y clack sound like something is loose but its like this on all phones. Idk maybe Im over thinking it but its gotten to the point where I have to worry about how I place the phone down on any surface which is frustrating. This issue just compounds with the phones weight so any drops will no doubt amplify any potential damage on hard surfaces.This would be the perfect phone but the camera flip mechanism is nothing more than a cool gimmick which hype dies out a week later. Apps like whatsapp and video calling apps struggle when switching cameras and theres a considerable delay when the phone has apps running in the background and you try to switch cameras on the fly.-----Update:The camera is really really amazing at night pictures with out of the box settings. Uploaded some night shots taken at a dock in pitch darkness, with no flash, and default settings. It outperforms my friends pixel 3a and galaxy s10 since they had horrible glare and lighting effect. My only frustration with the camera is that when you go into video mode, it has an almost zoomed in look and you cant do anything about it. Regardless of main camera or wide aperature photos are able to take more detail/bigger view than videos but other than that its great.-----Coming from a zenfone 3 zoom with sd625 and 5000mah battery, this zenfone 6 was the perfect upgrade. Camera is great but the flip camera makes me worried about its longevity, thankfully theres no rattle like some initial units when you shake the phone. Comes with a hard shell clear plastic case which does not protect the sides/button areas which isnt the best but better than nothing. There is no screen protector on this phone so you will need one if you want to avoid any future scratches. Performance has been great. It is indeed the us model (version c) which made me worry since no indicator of it or any of the LTE bands it supports on the packaging but I am catching LTE band 12 which was only available on the US model so thats a relief. It will activate under project/google fi under tmobile bands only as is the usual for non pixel phones. Battery, performance, camera and lighting is just phenominal and im really glad I waited for this phone instead of settling for a pixel 3a or huawei mate 20.One thing to note, as with all modern phones with that slight curve on the edges of the screen, you will have issues with screen protectors not laying perfectly flat. Im using a glass one I purchased prior to this arriving and even getting it perfectly centered still has that air gap on the sides where it cant lay flat. Hopefully 'tech skin' film protectors come out soon since thats been the only one that adheres to all shapes and curves. Attached picture to show you what I mean.
