Frequently? Can't say I have noticed anything unusual but I'm sure some apps might have to reload if I would go back far in the app list. I haven't really been bothered by it enough to notice , if so.

1. Has anyone rooted the device and could try the vpn hotspot app?

The Zenfone 5Z has some weird networking problems with this app and in taskers network related functions. Clients connected to the vpn hotspot can not access the internet or the vpn internal network (maybe a routing issue but the routing table seems fine). Both the hotspot app and tasker tasks work fine on every other phone i have tried.

2. Is it an a/b slot or single slot device?

How would you compare Zenfone UI on this phone to Google Pixel style UI? What are the differences?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] nsn27:
I have the Pixel 2XL for more than a year. And my friend let me try the pixel 3 XL which I decided not to buy.

The new Zen UI is very similar to what you get on pixel' Main difference for me is the Zenfone is more powerful and manages RAM better. The dark mode, audio Assistant, smart key, are features you can't find on the pixel. Also Zenfone has a gesture mode that allows you to go completely full screen which is nice But pixel has the always on display.

Overall they are very similar but Asus has added more useful customization. Except for always on display and Gcam I can not think of something I can do with the pixel that I can not with the Asus.

There is an option to stream, but not yet tested.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _Cku_:
I like that Asus kept the traditional nav-bar as well, and allows you to swap the back key from left side to right side - and it follows through with their gesture mode , that as you mentioned, hides the bar - to get that really nice full screen look.

Zenui also gives the option to use the google navigation style..

As you mention , for me it feels very similar and some bits and pieces are different - esp around functionality, seems like you can do more.. the pull-down quick settings has 12 icons per page instead of 9 which is fantastic.

Swipe down anywhere on homescreen will pull down the notification pane, swipe up will pull up the App drawer. Things like that I really like so far.

Hi,if anyone could help me to answer this questions,will help me to make a decision to buy this phone.Any help and information is greatly appreciated.

1.Does it support VOLTE/HD calling with Tmobile?

2.Currently Taiwan version sold at ebay supports major Tmobile bands,but the version sold at gearbest lacks many major US carrier bands.Please share your experience which one you bought and your LTE coverage

3.Since it is a clean near vanilla stock software,does it have some additional customizations like gestures three finger screenshot,in built call recorder?

4.How is the screen visibilty under Sunlight?I can't expect it to perform like AMOLED but does the brightness,color contrast of the panel suffice when it comes to sunlight outdoor visibilty?

5.How is the Software performance,RAM management,Camera software glitches if any observed.

Please help me answer the questions based on your experience.I believe others also may have similar questions.It will help us all.Thanks again.

Works fine to cast my phone screen to the TV (Samsung series 7).

Casting to Google Home Mini also works fine.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

I think he means some of your questions are already answered..

1&2 ; I have the EU version (A version). Coverage and speed is fine. But then again I live in a metropolitan area.

3; Call recorder yes.

Three finger screenshot, no. But Smart key can bind screenshot, quick setting has an option for screenshot, power+up can take screenshot and long pressing the "all apps" navkey can also take screenshot. So.. no don't need 3 finger swipe screenshot.. and yeah Zenui6 still has a lot of the previous customizations buy theme engine is removed (or I can't find it).

Swipe down and up on home screen to pull down the quick settings pane and App drawer respectively.

Traditional nav bar, Asus gestures, and Google pill thing all present

Can swap location of Back button from left to right side.

12 quick tiles instead of 9.

Double tap to wake and sleep screen.

Screen color tuning for those who like to fiddle.

And probably more stuff I've yet to explore.

But everything is done inside settings so nothing obtrusive or disturbing. I like it a lot.

4. Brightness outside is decent, so far no major visibility issues for me in sunlight although not the brightest.

5. Nothing in particular that I've noticed. I'm sure there are some.

If it moves fast, you can hear it.

It seems to cut out the lower end, and raises the volume for the more "audible" frequencies.. making it easier to hear in noisy environments. For sure i wouldnt use it often unless necessary but its a nice option to have I guess. Esp if you frequent very noisy environments

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Yeah, and the ability to take "long screenshots" as well (for example of a website, you can "push" it downward with a click and it will fuse to one longer screenshot).

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] isthisadagger:
Antutu says "defeated 97% of users" for the 392214 so there are faster users. This is all based on stock kernel and without manual tweaks/optimizations so you might be able to get better results.

Simply using the custom kernel that is available did not change the result noticably. Again withou manual tweaks.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] leiros:
I have always on when I manually turn the screen on, unfortunately it isnt ambient and the device turns off the screen after a few seconds after a notification.

(There is a small chance I have some conflicting options still since I usually turn off most of the wake and notification stuff).
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] bigbamboo5:
Ah, okay. :( That's as I feared - it's not a lockscreen notification which remains on to let you know you have a message? I guess you have to rely on the LED. How bright is that and are there different colours? (Thanks!)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] _Cku_:
There's no AOD like you have on AMOLED based phones.

There is a notification system that can turn on the screen and display a custom notice and ofc the LED light itself.

As been answered before the led is red and green. Can display orange/"Yellow" as well.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] bigbamboo5:
Thanks. I think that's the one thing that will stop me buying this phone - I love glancing at my Pixel 2XL to see what messages I have and whether they are urgent, without having to touch the phone.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] Ellcid01:
It have ambient display, the screen light up for new notifications like always on ans turn off again
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] bigbamboo5:

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] nsn27:
No it doesn't do that because not AMOLED.

I have the pixel 2XL also and the ambient display was never that useful for nofitications IMO. That's because there is no much info except for the time and small notification icons.

Both phones have double tap to wake and wake screen on notifications which is the better setup for me.

And to be fair the Zenfone 6 was definitely a pleasing and affordable upgrade from my beloved 2XL that I will keep as a backup
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] bigbamboo5:
Interesting, thanks. So you're happy moving to the Zenfone 6 from the 2XL? That's the move I'll be making. How do the cameras compare? And general day to day use?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] nsn27:
Camera is still "better" on the pixel, although less versatile. I can not miss a shot with the pixel they come out with great sharpness,. Contrast, dynamic range etc.

Yet the Zenfone camera is very good and I'm satisfied with the shots most it the time. But if you compare picture to picture my pixel edges it 70% of 4he time, mainly in challenging shots.

But my pixel was not that great if a shooter out of the box, it needed many camera updates to get there. And Asus could roll updates but I'm already satisfied with it for now. Also the gcam port is still under development for the Zenfone 6 and it's looks promising.

For day to day use there is no match. From full screen display to battery life or software experience and performance, the Z6 is clearly ahead.

I was worried about the LCD panel but it's really not as big if a deal. Most ppl wouldn't be able to tell it's not OLED just by using the phone without beeing told. They'd have to compare to notice the small difference.

The flip camera will draw attention if used often as ppl aren't used to it and because it makes noise in quiet environnement. Thé person sitting next to you would hear it flip and the next person also if the room is really silent.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] ema00:

12mp pictures are made by 48mp snaps compressed by a factor of 4. It means that 4 pixels of 48mp form 1 pixel of 12mp. This gives better quality pictures with lesser noise.
