I apologize for such a noob question. Thinking of buying an Asus zenfone 2. Am I mistaken are they both essentially the same device? If I were to purchase the deluxe can flashing roms on this forums work on it? Or maybe if I were to get the Asus zenfone 2 I know there's like 2 different models? Which model is more supported on development
Thanks

The Zenfone 2 and Zenfone deluxe are the same. The only difference is that the deluxe as more internal memory and the back cover has a new design to it. A user here had no problem flashing a Custom ROM on his deluxe.

Make sure you know if it is the 1.8ghz or 2.3ghz Zenfone... The 1.8 has the older 3560 cpu and the 2.3ghz the 3580.. Likely you won't see the difference but it might cheese you off to have the slower cpu.
Also there is a 550ML and 551ML version, the 550ML has 2gb ram BUT the 551ML has a 2gb ram 16gb rom variant too. Make sure, if you want the 4gb it says that or you might get one of these cheaper versions... Also, the 2.3 gets the speedy charger, the other variants don't (would assume the Deluxe does)...
You'd want either the 551ML 4gb 2.3ghz (will be 64gb rom) or the Deluxe version.
Hi everyone, I'm coming over from the Nexus 7 2013 forums cuz I've been on the lookout for a new tablet in the coming months and I saw that the Zenfone 2 and the ZenPad s 8.0 have the same SoC and GPU. I was wondering (since there isn't a xda forum for the ZenPad), that since they share alot of the same hardware, if the the ROMs and Kernels built for the ZenFone 2 would work for the ZenPad s 8.0?
No, it won't. But it should be very easy to port over.
Since the community behind the Zenfone 2 models is pretty big even though it was an X86 device, I wonder if there will be Lineage OS support for the Zenfone 3 models. I'm asking because I want to switch my Zenfone2 for a Zenfone3 but I don't like the ASUS stock ROM.

Asus started pushing official Oreo to the Zenfone 3 a day or 2 ago. I have the 3 Deluxe (ZS550KL) and it doesn't look like any of the Deluxe variants have it yet. Hope it's coming soon.

Yep. ZS570KL owner checking in. Been checking incessantly because I really wanted to get my hands on Oreo and ZenUI 4.0! Saw the news that Zenfone 3 had gotten the update, checked the update page on the Asus website to find there was only a minor update waiting for me, released a little bit before Zenfone 3 owners got Oreo.

If their update history is anything to go by, the ZE55(0/2)KL models have been updated rather frequently, whereas the deluxe models have received updates a little bit more spaced out. At best, I see the update for the ZS550KL coming in within 2 weeks, and the ZS570KL coming in within two weeks after that. Hopefully the wait isn't too long!
A bit disappointed with the updates for this phone...
Was good for a few months then nothing...
This was supposed to be their flagship device, other models come out and it is forgotten.
If they didn't wish to actually support it then they should've released the unlock app sooner and then we may have had a little love from developers...
Got an update the other day, they were supposed to be developing Oreo for this device and releasing it soon, update comes through and it's still Nougat...
Learnt my lesson well, Had both the Zenfone 2 deluxe and now the 3 deluxe. It seems that as soon as the new gen phone comes out the older model is dropped like a hot potato...
Won't be buying another...
Asus its terrible updating this gadgets. I have the Z01FD (3 De Luxe) and it never goes far from Nougat 7.0 . I'll never buy and Asus phone again

As zenfone 5z was launched in june.its a very popular device around the world bcz of its price and killer specifications.why there are twrp or gsi roms are not available for this phone.?
Developers should take this device seriously as many people around the world owns it and it is very popular.
I mean the Zenfone 5 itself came out in June. The 5z in july, and the 5z in North America should be released today.
