[Q] Zenfone 2 launch event in NYC? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A month ago, this site and a few others talked about an event where info would be released to the US about the Zenfone 2 (and others). I can't find out anything about it happening today. Has anyone heard anything? Was the event cancelled?
What's going on? Why is ASUS dropping the ball so hard?

Some rumors I heard relate to Asus not getting FCC clearance for the device.

I couldn't even tell you.
It'd be nice if Asus could clarify its situation with a US launch.

Asus North America's Facebook page stated that an announcement regarding a US launch is forthcoming. This was in response to a user's comment.

but that didn't say much @[email protected]
it could be in the end of May or the end of June

While Amazon had a page up for the Zenfone2, I ordered the 64GB version, and about the shipment:
Estimated delivery date:
Thursday, May 28, 2015 - Thursday, June 11, 2015

I don't think it's the FCC It has something to With Google aproving the product image I thin they canceled it most likely because of the lg g4 event

I really doubt if it was radiation... the SAR rating is like silly low.

Good Price for 4GB/64GB version, reputable site :

Find 7 now up for pre-order in US & EU

Details on the link.
http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_7_goes_on_preorder_ships_in_early_july-news-8798.php
Pre-ordered mine last night, also got the Ilike charger with it too as one of the first 1000.
Pre-ordered mine aswell!
I preordered mine too, looking forward to it!
Picked up one as well.
On "Back Order" though! I bought it pretty quickly too, this morning around 12am GMT - 4.
How disappointing, hopefully it won't be too long before I get the Find 7..
EDIT:
It would be great if you guys give us a shout when you get the shipping confirmation sent to you.
That way we can see how long it took, and when we can expect to receive it.
I pre-ordered too, but on backorder

The fact that the 32GB model of this is actually going to be easier to get in the UK than the G3 does kind of make wonder about changing my order.

I believe pre-order and back-order are really the same thing in this situation.
I'm just hoping they're accurate about the Early July time frame.
Thinking about ordering mine next week with the 10% discount offer, but I'm quite wondering when the shipping date would be. Could it be as early as Friday 4th July?
can student and facebook discounts be combined?
Nope that's not possible. It's written on the student discount FAQs somewhere...

Hasn't been a problem... I have a few games with 1 - 2Gb data files but these are stored outside the app partition with only a small amount of data going there... Have around 100+ apps installed and counting with things like co-pilot requiring around 300mb, Dungeon hunter 4 requiring around 900mb and a couple of Sonic games requiring almost a gig apiece...
I might run out eventually but I can say the same about my 32Gb Note 3...
I have the X9077 32gb Chinese Find 7.... Flashed with international rom and it works fine here in Oz with all google apps running and all the chinese versions of the apps gone...
WOOHOO! "Preparation in progress"!
Anyone else received the "Preparation in progress" order history?
I hope it comes soon! Any guesses as to how long it would take before they ship it out?

Mythical e5606?

So, I've been looking for evidence that the e5606 (with support for US LTE) is actually being offered for sale anywhere. So far, I've only seen the other two versions. Has anyone else seen it for sale?

I have been looking for it, too. Sony CS ****ing sucks and won't give me any answers about it. If you look at Sony Mexico's page, they note the M5 is about to drop there, and I think they use the same LTE bands, so they may be seeing the M5 E5606 before us. Might have to get one from Mexico.
I just found it on a web l i n i o . c o m .... There you can get the e5606. I'm going to get it soon too after like half year waiting for it.

I ended up buying the international E5653 version. On ATT my HSPA+ is blazing fast, but no LTE. I purchased from Expansys which actually showed ATT LTE as supported, but I'm sure it depends on your city. It's a shame. I love this phone so I'll probably just rock it on HSPA+ until I get something better.
I don't know if this is still of help to you but I got an M5 model this week and it is an E5606. I am not exactly sure how to check if mine is compatible with US LTE, though, or what that is even (I'm a total noob at this, I just came here to find a way to root this damned thing).
Why is mithycal or better than the other versions?
Just in case anyone is still interested. Amazon has these in stock now. I can confirm my E5606 works with my ATT LTE; just got it yesterday. I'm guessing they got a bunch that didn't sell in Latin America. IMO Sony should have released this in the states to begin with. I appreciate this phone so much more with LTE. Just gotta get Marshmallow now.

US LTE. It was released in Latin America and couldn't be easily found. The international version (E5653) doesn't support US LTE.

Umi Z Pro Gearbest - When shipped?

Do you know when gearbest will ship out the Z Pro?
I ordered there and look forward to it.
Who else ordered?
Yes. March 29
According to a other forum, gearbest is shipping the pro z at the moment. So stay tuned
Gearbest is shipping the device at the moment. First customers got devices in germany from gearbest.
I bought mine this 8 March (when sale was opened), and they said it will not be sended until 7 April... :crying:

That was said with my umi Z delivery which I tried to refund but they already shipped it. Still trying to contact dhl to return it since I ordered the pro version which I didn't knew was on sale. Hope I can get a refund . Else I'll have to sell it here
Unless I keep the other one as spare phone. And sell my other phones

Mine received last friday, march 31. Purchased on march 10.
Enter into your Gearbest account and check if there is a button to give priority to your order. I used it and it seems to work.
I also ordered one from Gearbest, but fairly recently, about two weeks ago, on the 22nd. I'm not impatient or anything, however there is something alarming which seems strange. I got a notice together with the tracking on the 29th that the phone was shipped, however today that I checked with DHL the informed me that the shipment was never delivered to them and that I should contact the sender to inquiry about it. Then,.. I got to discover all those reviews around about people that never got their products and so on. And since then I can't stop thinking that I am tricked. Can it really be the case?

Indeed, today I received a notification from the delivery service that the phone was given to them for delivery, perhaps to arrive later in the week. Also my support ticket was updated around the same time clarifying the same thing. Nice

I got mine today (notification) it's currently in Singaporrre and will alive also this week approx Wednesday unless there's a delay. So as said I'm not afraid it's scam as I've seen yt videos of people getting it. And if someone wants proof ill make a video and share here
Also I doubt it would have been on play store and having that high rate if it be scam it would been reported long time ago
Also android sites that's are quite large wouldn't tell about gearbest neither would umidgi list it as trusted source for re selling their products

need help choosing please

I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.
I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Would you recommend the Chinese model?
Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

I have the China 8/256 version. And although I was worried about getting it once I changed the language, keyboard, got Google play to work it's a great phone.. my wife is laughing at me saying it's too big but personally I love it. It's fast and smooth and the screen is amazing.
I've not tried Google pay yet. I was able to add my credit card but not my bank card strangely. I will try Google pay tomorrow and let you know.

There might be a mistake but when you add to cart, it shows up as free. Worth a shot with nothing to lose. I ordered one with free shipping.
I just saw this too. Was amazed that even shipping is free. I ordered 3, and it's still free.
I ordered mine, too. Guess we'll see if they arrive or not.
The article header now reads: [Update: Dead] Price mistake.
I wonder if they will honor the orders that were placed before they fixed their website.
wonder if they will ship them or try to get us to pay ?

Most likely not as it was a glitch. I canceled my order because it was the right thing to do and not exploit their mistake. They responded with a very kind email. I would gladly do business with them and pay.
