Official ZenFone 6 Thread

[duffie]

Any shop in SG is selling it below $299?

By the way is the white version stain resistant?

Does anyone has both Zenfone 6 and Xiaomi Note that can give an experience feedback?

Build quality difference is pretty obvious

 

[duffie]

Yes, agreed with you. Waiting for Kit Kat Update. Hopefully, soon to get it.

Did Asus give an ETA for that?

Zenfone overall has better build quality, the UI has better response. It's worth the additional price. But if you're on a budget, the Xiaomi works well enough.

Here's my Xiaomi Note review:

Xiaomi Note 3G internet is spotty. Very often the connection is stuck, need to wait for few seconds. Zenfone 6 is as good as my HTC M8 in using 3G internet.

So the 2.0 GHz model isn't coming back to SG anymore and is sold out?

Just experienced the black screen while updating asus apps on Google play. So the stability is not fixed yet.

I just did 2 incremental updates and an entire series of Asus apps update last 2 days... never encounter any black screen issue.

Seems to be still widely available.

Hi duffle,

Where can you find the 2.0 Ghz unit?

 

[duffie]

Hi duffle,

Where can you find the 2.0 Ghz unit?

Lots of Starhub outlets and Asus at Funan, but both have it only in red.

Hi duffle,

Think 2.0 can only get in Taiwan. Singapore is only getting the 1.6GHz.

From Asus Singapore

Im using a 2.0Ghz local set. Ordered from ASUS store. They have been OOS since 1st batch sold out.

WoW! Good if they are offering local 2.0GHz set, but strangely online states otherwise.

Shortchanged for online purchases?

 

[xtemujin]

I'll have to say that Asus customer service is bad, emailed and asking for the Zenfone stock to come in they say to check FB post as they don't know when stock will come in.

Nope, obviously not true.

There are enough 2.0GHz models in stock, you just need to walk into a store.

and they give a standard automated reply
"we are checking with the vendor" !!
whatever that means.

btw, is it worth getting the 2GHz one at 329, or get the 1.6Ghz for about 285 ?
have there been any benchmark comparisons ?
but probably would just depend on usage.
will the 2GHz one use more battery ?
