Hey, welcome on board, mate!
Well, you could buy the phone from amazon in USA. However if you could just hold on for few more days, a local ASUS or any other retailer should have it in Argentina.
Cheers!

I gave up waiting for the Zenphone 2 in the states and preorded an Alcatel Idol 3 for $200 yesterday. I couldn't pass up the deal.

Ill be shopping for a new device in june-july. Im watching this one closely. If it gets aosp roms or cm12 im buying. Looks to be a beast for the low price point.

You buggers, I just ordered one as well. I'm enjoying the Zenfone 2 but this looks like a good entry level phone. I have family and friends that are asking if I have any "extra" phones. For this price it will be a great backup to play with.

In the shipping costs VAT and taxes to ship the phone out of the US are included, that's why it is so expensive

Do you know if fastboot is accessible on the deluxe? Or even the bootloader is unlockable?
+1 to hoping for a root method soon, 256gb model here. Suhweeeet ass device that would be even sweeter w/ root!
Also waiting on rooting of Deluxe.
From Taiwan's forum, it seems
1. FASTBOOT is accessible but a lot of commands are removed or not available. FASTBOOT OEM commands status are not clear.
2. Official bootloader unlocked is not available as of now. No news on when will be available.
3. No unofficial bootloader unlock way is available now as yet. Hopefully someone is working on this.
Any one taken on this challenge?

I asked a relative in Taiwan to go buy one and send it to me. It was the only way I could get one for the ACTUAL RETAIL PRICE w/o any sort of BS markup.
...Well ok, about $50 worth of booze to said relative... But that's a markup I can accept at least

LOL and what was the actual price you ended up paying, bud? Will it work in the US? All bands LTE? Warranty?
Paid retail + $50 AUD. I can't answer the other question as I'm in Australia
For the SD 820 version, 6G/64G version, we in Taiwan can get it without any contract, sim unlocked at NTD17990, roughly equal to USD 573.
I bought the 256/6G version for $860 including shipping.
Here are some more detailed information about rooting this device... However, this is not root... yet.
https://github.com/shakalaca/android_device_asus_zs570kl
Anyone?
Can we return to topic? I'd really want to root this baby
Anyone can say with sincerity and open mind how is the camera comparing to the LG G5 or Galaxy S7?
I have the snapdragon 821, 6th ram, 256th storage variant. I paid 1213.38 CAD including shipping on eBay and got the device express shipped through FedEx straight from taiwan.
+1
I wanna root this!
Now I know its a lovely device but you got to woo it 1st....
So saying I can't wait myself...
SERIOUSLY WANT TO ROOT THIS DEVICE! Just got mine in the mail today. $900 Canadian. Although I might have paid the extra 300 for the 256 had I found it on Ebay for the same price. Still am extremely happy with this device. Please comment on my CyanogenMod post/poll. Let's get the ball rolling for this product.

The trouble is that the devs who might find the exploits and things for our device have other more mainstream devices...
Luckily we have the SD CPU's this time that are dev friendly instead of the Intel ones but we really have no-one, exclusively, working on our phone if they don't own one...
Just pre-order ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe Special Edition ZS570KL (821/6gb RAM/256gb HD) from ASUS directly. Currently have the Zenfone 2, rooted CM13 and loving it... Need to unlock bootloader & root asap and can wait for official CM14. Any help / guide.

So, I can see you have been following these forums then...
No way to root or unlock bootloader as of yet,,,

Anyone got this phone ?

Just would like to know if anyone is already using this phone ?
I ordered the ZTE Axon 7 (4GB) on Amazon - never got the gray one...
Thought about buying the Lonovo Zuk pro2 but don't like no sd-slot !
So I ordered the Asus with 6GB / only 64GB version is available right now.
Should be delivered in apr. 8 days.
My 256gb 6gb Ram version was mailed to me yesterday... Waiting for it though it may take around 5 days....
Waiting SUX!!!!!
Yes I got mine on Saturday.
Really loving it so far

Where did you buy the 256GB version?? US?
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have it !
I came from ZF2 to this. Purchased from Taiwanese EBay seller. Deluxe ZS570KL ,820, 64GB
Loving it. Disabled all the bloat until root is provided. This things so fast you don't even know its there anway. I'm a huge fan of vanilla, so Installed Google Launcher. Perfection.
CONS so far:
- Sim cover is loose fitting. This seems to be widespread - im tempted to put a pinhead blob of bluetack in there, as its the door, not the tray. Such a small issue.
- Its so well made its slippery, similar to the HTC10. Case is on the way so wont be an issue after that
- Understandably, Battery life is a < day. I have so many chargers around, its not an issue for me.
PROS so Far:
- Fast
- Screen is gorgeous.
- Photo quality is amazing.
- It has not spontaneously exploded in my pocket in close proximity to my balls
- Overall, as a package, I'm super happy. Its a flagship killer.
My one missing feature would be wireless charging.... but there's so much inside this small package already, that I understand why its not.
Quite happy to help with any root/bootloader/rom projects when someone something gets underway in the forums.
Cheers, Mike
I've got a Snapdragon 821, 6gb ram, 256gb rom version as well.

Seller on ebay... also got the tempered glass protector and the flip case...
The flip case is stuck on with the sticky stuff they have on phone holders... It is an ASUS case...
Don't have a problem with the sim cover, in really tight - 6gb 256gb Snapdragon 821 version..
Case is great, it sticks on well and no issues with it as yet.
Very quick, no real problems there.
Amazon app store keeps force closing - old version of Amazon appstore. Downloaded new one and everything works fine...
Otherwise no problems, though funnily enough I haven't actually called anyone yet...
64GB/6GB/820 Was delivered this morning. Took only a day and half to get to me!!! Was very impressed! ASUS nailed it. Beautiful phone! Even more beautiful in person. I was extremely impressed. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A ROOT/CUSTOM ROM on this thing!
@ GodKingKnight: Where did you buy ?
I did not receive mine....same as with the ZTE...no luck with those new phones.

Did you receive it? I am trying to decide if I should order it from Amazon or from Asus website. Please let me know. Thanks!
No, no shipping info either...
I asked Asus store USA but they won't deliver to Europe. I should get some one from within the USA to ship to and then send to me.
Only Asus store where the 5.7" ones are listed is the Spain one, but none is on stock.
hey any comparisons with the one plus 3?

You could order it from ebay, this is what I did.
I ordered the 820/6GB/64Gb variant straight from the ASUS store on Amazon. It comes with US warranty but the expected ship date isn't until Nov 22.

I did that too... I am thinking of ordering it from bhphotovideo.com which says shipping on Nov 10, or Newegg which says Nov 1. I like Amazon because of ease of returns in case something is wrong...

i dont think price will drop again
Wait for atleast one week
I bought it for 10999 on primeday
But there was a mandatory prime membership charge of 500.
I think you should wait for atleast 7 days, keep on looking for price cut.
Wait for 1 or 2 weeks and Amazon will have again some kind of sale and then you can buy it at 10,999₹
New device available at 10,999
Hi. It's an amazing purchase for 10,999. One of the best smartphone deals in history if you value your hard earned money. I have a unit that's coming to me for delivery today. I bought it on Prime Day, COD. I can give it to you for the price you want as my cousin is sending a galaxy s7 edge from the US. The lenovo z2 plus hasn't even been delivered to me as of now. It will be a new piece. Do let me know @ 9644930916

Where to buy the Mi Max 3 128GB in 2020?

I know I'm a little bit late, but this phone is keeping me awake at night,... just gotta have it. Been looking everywhere but it seems that it's sold out.
Maybe someone here knows a place that is still selling this beast. Thanks in advance!
I just purchased a replacement last month on Alibaba. Be prepared for an extremely long wait of 1 - 2 months for delivery due to covid.
I bought mine from TradingShenzhen as that was recommended to me when I was searching where to buy. They still seem to have some.
