I asked to Asus something about availability :

Hi Marco,

Release dates are different around the world, please check with your regional ASUS office, or keep up to date by following your regional ASUS Facebook page.

Thank you for your support!
[ZenFone 2 General] seand88:
Does anyone know if the deluxe will work on Verizon?
[ZenFone 2 General] Frenel:
I do not think so, I guess all the versions will be GSM only, not CDMA.

But you can ask Asus directly.
[ZenFone 2 General] seand88:
What a disappointment really need to get off of Verizon. I'll do that to double check thanks in advanced thought
[ZenFone 2 General] AgentBuBu:
The standard zenfone 3 could've been a massive hit if the desing would've been a bit tweaked. I mean seriously, the price point is ok for what it offers, i mean the camera is almost flagship level, it may compete even with the 5x or 6p and with no doubts it beats the one on the mi5, tho it has the same sensor, but a lot tweaked. The back side of the phone is completely wonderful, the front one looks like a 50$ cheap sh*t unknown phone with pretty large bezzels and metallic brushed capacitive buttons that aren't even lighten, god... Small tweaks like these could've made the phone a big hit in the budget smartphones industry. IMO, the black one looks the best of all, but the gold one has the best front side looking, maybe they'll release more color variants in the near future, i hope. As for the other 2, the 6.8 is a troll, like no one will want to carry a tablet in their pocket and the deluxe one is the best looking phone i've ever seen, but the price kicks out half of the people that would've bought it. All in all, it isn't below my expectations, i just want to see how the 625 will do when it will be benchmarked, the 14nm really makes me curious about its performance, aswell as the battery life...
[ZenFone 2 General] LevLeon13:
totally with you . mine is **** as well . stock , custom rom , everything .

next one is UMI super :)
[ZenFone 2 General] jimchee:
I personally am with those of us who think that we have been abandoned from the start by ASUS, the support has been cosmetic at best and their goal is just to get our money and the give us the finger, the Zen 3 deluxe is so far overpriced it's like saying to us, well guys we got you roped with loss leader Zen 2 and now we're going to try to retire selling you a piece of junk at ridiculously high prices, well personally I'll use this phone till the fall and Google will gain another customer, at least with them I know I'll get regular and consistent support. Like LevLeon 13, my opinion not up for discussion, it's your money and you can spend it like you want
[ZenFone 2 General] AgentBuBu:
I've read somewhere about the windows 10 mobile version where i had found that the SoC reqs list includes the one on the Zenfone 3, the 625, along few others flagship SoCs and some budgets ones like the 210 or the 208, meaning that the ZF3 could run Win10 mobile in the near future, as they release the official ROM :D
[ZenFone 2 General] Induced_Apathy:
I love my ZF2 and still use it daily. The new ZF3 is most interesting to me as it looks like a Samsung Note alternative. Disappointed that there don't appear to be Intel devices as I think x86 is the future of mobile. Anyways the new phone is priced out of my range. I'm much more likely to pick up a Moto X Pure for 250-300 new or used off Swappa or something similar. ZTE Axon looks pretty good as does the OP3 we'll see. ZTE Zmax 2 was on sale for $50 recently and was generally easy to get around 70-80 dollars. Quick Charge support Band 12 support with mSD removable battery. Low end market is heating up. Love my ZF2 though it's been good to me.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
I'm sorry, but how can x86 be the future of mobile when Intel isn't doing mobile anymore?
[ZenFone 2 General] KarloHD:

I was looking at the Umi Super with $70 coupon but I don't think it has the right bands for a lot of providers in Canada and the states
[ZenFone 2 General] loganj:
My ZF2 (64gb) with only 1 SIM has 3 days+ battery with 2-2.5 hours display (mostly firefox or gmail)., 4G and wifi always on, processor set to perfomance all the time.

Probably because im using only whatsapp and no other social network.

Or probably because i remove a lot of bloatware from asus.

But to be honest ive notices a huge improvements after i remove (not disable) the bloatwares.

But i lost the double tap to turn ON the phone which im actually ok with it since i got my phone turned on many times while in my pocket :)

As a side note, what is this thread doing in ZF2 forum?

I think August release for India. Other parts of 'asia' should get it first
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcpa:
No news guys??
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Rumours of an SD821 iteration of the deluxe before the initial three phones have even been released. Given ASUS track record, it's probably true.
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
Some sources also mention an SD823.
[ZenFone 2 General] PytSkee:
Definitely upgrading my Xiaomi redmi note 2 to the deluxe. Tired of the lack of kernel source codes and developer support, and no 4g in the US. After seeing Asus' quality in their laptops, I'm quite keen on checking their phone as well.
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcpa:
If they are going to sell it in September, well, they will lose many clients, me first.

Come on Asus, you can do it, release it in a few weeks...
[ZenFone 2 General] NativeCain:
My thoughts exactly. I really want the Zenfone 3 but I am in need of a phone immediately. I read somewhere, July would be the soonest they will release. I hope so, because after that is too long for me to wait.
[ZenFone 2 General] utphala:
ASUS ZenFone 3 vs LeEco Le Max 2

Which one is best
[ZenFone 2 General] Jaysmd:
I also need new phone. I might try oneplus 3 in the meantime
[ZenFone 2 General] Siddk007:
even i'm waiting for Oneplus 3
[ZenFone 2 General] klingklang76:
I'm very happy with my current 550ML, and I like these new models pretty much, so it's pretty likely that I'll be getting one :) Since I'm very focused on price/performance ratio, I'll choose the basic ZF3, which IMO is priced very reasonably (street prices will be significantly lower as usual), I'm just waiting for some reviews to confirm my interest :good:
[ZenFone 2 General] cryingthug:
Phablet-Lover

I'm going for the Zenfone 3 Ultra. The bigger the better! With the bigger screen it is a lot easier to see things. Watching movies and Youtube on that thing will be Nice with a captial N. And, YES, I does fit in the pocket.
[ZenFone 2 General] dude52:
That Zenfone 3 deluxe is a steal but that price sure isn't, seriously, what more could you ask for with those specs? I mean maybe the screen but honestly 1080p is good enough, and fricken 6GBs of ram?? What the hell am I gonna do with 6GBs of ram on my phone?, this phone will literally set me for life, I won't have to buy another new phone in maybe 5yrs with these specs.
[ZenFone 2 General] yumms:
One Plus 3 price is revealed to be $399 for the exact same specs...
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcpa:
And apparently 3 months before. Go Asus.. ?????
[ZenFone 2 General] Jaysmd:
I'll pass on that oneplus 3 and wait for the zenfone deluxe. Hurry up and release it asus! Still no word
[ZenFone 2 General] aaronb1138:
I was looking at the Oneplus 3 today and then ran across the ZF3. It looks like the ZF3 Deluxe will have 3 big features much better than the OP3; camera (resolution + focus system), AMOLED screen, and SD card slot. The one negative is battery capacity, and for some the SIM2 vs SD trade. The 3 better together easily justify the $100 difference cost, but both phones are priced a solid $100+ notch higher than what they should be. I blame Google with the Nexus series going to more than double previous price point with the Nexus 6. The margin on these phones is insane compared to the rest of the consumer electronic industry, and even more so the short time to obsolescence computing device industry. That's part of the exchange. I can handle a 40% margin on my washing machine that's going to last me 5+ years. It's insulting paying more than a 20% margin on an essentially disposable computing device with obsolescence in under 2 years. Even laptops and desktops running in the sub 10% margin range have greater usable longevity.

Now as far as people complaining about updates and such. Not understanding it. I've never gotten as many OEM updates on any non-Nexus device as I have on the ZF2. Plus an official 6.0 / MM update is on the way. Neither Samsung nor HTC ever provided many updates on any of their phones I have had. Mostly got lucky that lots of 3rd party ROMs were available when I wanted to jump around Android versions.

Beware the OEM smear / PR campaign Google is trotting out now about updates. The problems with slow Android updates go back entirely to Google's architecture of Android. Google is actively trying to change the narrative to blame OEMs. The hardware OEMs *shouldn't* be the ones sending out updates. How bad would it be in the PC sector if you had to wait on Dell or Lenovo for updates to Windows on your laptop. It's insanity caused by the design of Android as an OS. It's broken architecture from an update and security perspective. That said, I'll keep using Android because I'm definitely not going IOS and unfortunately application developers aren't supporting Windows Phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] tikilou:
Same for me, after looking OP3, LG G5, Galaxy S7 Edge, Zuk Z2 pro, i'm gonna waiting the Zenfone 3 deluxe.

It's perfect for me :

-Very good camera !

-Snapdragon 82X+ (so Vulkan API is supported !)

-Finally an AMOLED screen !

-I want the 256Gb internal memory version !

-µSDcard port !

-Many LTE BAND, like the Zuk Z2 pro international ! (And the Zenfone 3 Deluxe have the TDD-LTE 700Mhz Band !! )

-USB type C 3.0 !

-Asus release the kernel source code of them devices ! ^_^

-1080P resolution (i prefer it, 1440P is not necessary and not energy efficient, better 3D framerate too !)

With that devices, if i don't loose it... Maybe 4 years before changing it !
[ZenFone 2 General] MikeyLee:
I'm still torn between the Deluxe and the Ultra. I do a lot of professional photography where I remote shoot and wouldn't mind the big screen. I have the ZF2 Deluxe with 128GB internal storage w/a 200GB Micro SD installed with 4GB RAM and I haven't had a storage or slowness issue. So I'm not foreseeing any issues with the Ultra either. But 256GB internal storage w/6GB RAM sounds fun too lol What to do, what to do?
[ZenFone 2 General] tikilou:
If i'ts for professional usage, take the Zenfone 3 Deluxe, otherwise, for personal usage, Zenfone 2 Deluxe is really good yet, for somes years...
[ZenFone 2 General] yumms:
Zenfone 3's competition, ZTE Axon 7 is now up for pre-order https://www.amazon.com/ZTE-Axon-unlocked-smartphone-Warranty/dp/B01FUF1EL8

Its $100 cheaper with the same specs as Zenfone 3, comes with 2 years warranty, from facing speakers, a slightly larger battery and a 2k screen. And of course, better software updates, their previous Axon received the 6.0 update in February!
[ZenFone 2 General] shobuddy:
The Axon 7 comes out tomorrow. I'm waiting for the Zenfone 3 to come out so that I can make a decision between the OP3/Axon 7/Zenfone 3 Deluxe.
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
definitely not buying any more Asus phones until they get Intel processors back.

& yes, I know Intel "threw in the towel" but

the zf2 was taking the world by storm and we had really good communication and support early on; but then Asus stopped responding to user requests for basic things like video card drivers or the promised 256gb deluxe special edition.

I don't know what Asus was afraid of, but the zf2 has the potential to be a true pc replacement still.

anyway, tldr: won't spend any $ on Asus anymore since they won't put Intel chipsets in their phones.
[ZenFone 2 General] dzajkof:
I love Zenfone 3 Deluxe, very good specs (SD 821 + 6GB RAM) and probably developers will make some very good custom ROMs (cause Snapdragon is more popular and has more support then Intel on my ZF2). The other 2 variants are ok.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Neither will any other phone manufacturers.

[ZenFone 2 General] Trotter516:
Anyone have anything on when ZF3/ZF3 Deluxe are going to be released in the US? And what the actual prices will be for both?
[ZenFone 2 General] XjokiX7:
No release date still!

The Zenfone 3 and Zenfone 3 Deluxe will stay at their price of $249 and $499. While you may be in doubt of that in the actual event when they reveal the Zenfone 3 series they revealed the price in USD currency. But for the $249 I'm assuming that's for the 5.2 inch version. On the Asus store site for Taiwan they have the 5.2 inch Zenfone 3 for $249 when Taiwan Currency is converted to USD. At the event they also didn't really reveal the Zenfone 3 size when they first started showing the Zenfone. So it will be $249 for the smaller one. While the 5.5 inch variant costs $315 on their site while converted *Might be $300 estimate when released in the US* But it will also have 4gb ram and 64gb of memory. I've been growing impatient with this phone but had to do a bit of research on what to expect!
[ZenFone 2 General] Siddk007:
After launching Zenfone 3 and variants with worst pricing in India, Asus be like "In Search of Buyers" :p
[ZenFone 2 General] iancjc:
Zenfone 3 deluxe announced in may and still not available. IPhone 7 will be announced in September and be available to buy within 2 weeks. Asus need to sort out their supply and sales channels. In the UK you can still buy the zenfone 4/5/6, wonder if they will launch the 3 here as they never bothered to with the 2.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
I love that "iPhone7 will be announced in September" bit. How do we know that? Because apple announced it. So basically apple has already announced the iPhone7!
[ZenFone 2 General] Sargos76:
You can buy it via amazon.in the zf3 was launched in Philippines an India this week

Enviado do meu ASUS_Z00AD através de Tapatalk
[ZenFone 2 General] iancjc:
The point is they don't announce a model until they can sell it within a reasonable time frame. The September date is my guess. And apple haven't said **** about the phone officially. Asus go for big headlines in may and 3 months later the deluxe model still isn't in stock....

But then MM was due by the end of q2.... (almost 1 year after Google released it).... And we're now nearer the end of q3... And I'm not interested in beta releases.
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Indonesia will come late, in September :rolleyes:

I hope that the price is questionable...
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
you are right, though deluxe describe itself a priority to other models. unfortunately in case of ZF2 Deluxe asus is so poor in pushing updates. even cheaper models gets MM update. despite written on box it support LTE 40 Band Used for Volte Asus have not provided volte on it..
[ZenFone 2 General] Sargos76:
Bla, bla, bla bulsh.... Change phone/brand and go wine somewhere, this is the thread for those who interested in buying the zf3 and not the zf2 complainers

Enviado do meu ASUS_Z00AD através de Tapatalk
[ZenFone 2 General] XjokiX7:
They lacked updates but you have to admit for the price it was a solid device. The Zenfone 3 looks like a huge step up from the 2 but I felt they shouldn't have announced it so soon as it has been 3 months since shown and we still have no US release date.. But I'm going to assume that with the snapdragon processor the updates will be easier to push. Only the Zenfone 2 and Zenfone 2 Deluxe have the intel processors while the Laser and Max have the snapdragon.. They were released much later and got the update first. I have my fingers crossed for the Zenfone 3. I know it will be a good device once again.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ilgazc:
Next year around this time, Android 8 will ship and I will happily remind this message to people complaining about the same thing with Zenfone 3.

Not posting a major upgrade to a 64 bit/4GB model because you promised to third party junkware vendors shows a flaw in company culture, it isn't technical.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
i bought mi5 instead. they are much faster at service. i have used their phones simply awesome at price and always high end specifications.
[ZenFone 2 General] iancjc:
Just seen the prices in Singapore for the deluxe..... Close to £700, no chance, that's note 7 money, I'll be buying a OP3 I think.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sargos76:
Not even close at the most it will cost £450
[ZenFone 2 General] XjokiX7:
Anyone else more or less lost interest in this phone after lack of US release and the phone being revealed for months? ._. I still think it's a great phone but in my opinion I've been looking forward to it for so long it actually started to die out.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Who said it's not going to release in the US? Everything I've seen says it will.

[ZenFone 2 General] santeana:
****ty thing is, I've been waiting for this stupid thing since I heard about it back in May and now I've recent shattered my N5 and though it's still usable, it's slowly getting worse. Each day there seems to be a new glitch. Either it's slow af or, the mic stops working, or the screen gets unresponsive... It's something different each day. I need a new phone so bad. I'm trying to hold out for this one, but it doesn't look good...

https://www.amazon.com/ZenFone-Deluxe-storage-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B01LQV1YU6

Here it is, Zenfone 3 Delux will be $530 in the US, why would anyone buy it at this price when better phones exist at a lower price?
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Is that with SD625 SoC? For ZF3 Deluxe with that SoC here, the price would be as same as in the US, but it's not released, yet, here.

I would choose the regular variant instead.
[ZenFone 2 General] MikeyLee:
Ultra simply for the size of the battery.
[ZenFone 2 General] XjokiX7:
Zenfone 3 finally coming to the United States! Releasing the laser version for $199 2gb of ram, 32gb internal storage and a snapdragon 430.. Zenfone 3 Deluxe 5.5 *aka the original Zenfone 3, got a name change* for $399 4gb of ram, 64gb internal with snapdragon 625.. same specs as a Zenfone but with gorilla glass 4 and quick charge 3.0, no mention of nfc yet.. and and the Zenfone 3 Deluxe 5.7 with the snapdragon 820 for $499.. no specs changed for this one. Rather odd that we're not getting the $249 version they stated..
