I have a P30 P

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

I have a P30 Pro, very very happy w it. Battery life is excellent , I only charge to 80- 85% and finish at 50-55%

I want to buy the Zenfone 6, am tempted to just order the 6 64 version online but at $549 I want 6/128, can't be bothered w sd card if not needed. 6GB ram is enough as my P30 Pro is CND version 6/128. Not keeping both phones had thought the Zenfone would all me to sell the P30 but I am starting to like it alot

Better than OnePlus!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
I am seriously considering getting this. Kinda waiting for the 256gb version to come out.

I do feel like it is a big risk purchasing an asus phone. It would be my first time. I currently own a V20 and it is time for an upgrade.

I do not really know about Asus's reliability or software updates but the stats of the phone are just too good.

The one unique feature that is really important to me is the ability to have 2 sim card + a micro sd card. No other flagship phone allows that which is really surprising.

The only thing i am going to miss dearly is the ability to swap the batteries because that is my biggest feature i love the most. I guess those days are gone forever.

If any flagship phone still allowed me to do that i would get that hands down. :o
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Corven7:
I´m really happy to bought this phone.

Coming from a LG G6, i like to have a standby time up to 3 days. ;)

The Zenfone 6 makes good pictures at day... At nighttime it can be better, i think.

It is very fast, runs smooth and looks very nice.

Overall, i think its a really good phone.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
Thanks for your input

Yh i am waiting to get this phone. I have been waiting weeks. I can not find a single retailer selling the 256gb version.

It is going to be a massive change for me because i have not owned a phone with a sealed battery.

My phone history

HTC DESIRE HD> Samsung galaxy S3 > S4> S5> Lg G4 > Lg V20

I always carried spares for each of these phones and life was so good. I can use the phone however i wanted knowing i can get a 100 percent again in just seconds.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Liscon19:
Worth waiting for the ROG phone 2 maybe??
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
Dunno if that would allow for micro sd.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Some_dude36:
must be nice . Still not released in the us 2 months later.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
I thought this phone did not cover all the US frequencies.. Dunno why tho?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] miva2:
I got mine yesterday ( In Belgium, Europe), ordered straight from Asus.

Very few stores have it listed. On FreeRecordShop they kept changing the date and the people from the store didn't know anything about it.

So far I like the hardware a lot! I come from Honor 8 and it's not that much larger to hold.

It's funny it says the words "FLIP CAMERA" everywhere. In the box and even on the phone itself. Doesn't bother me but it's funny.

I really hate the launcher though. Will put Nova on it and maybe try some of these other new launchers. (I tried a lot of launchers a couple years ago but have since stuck with the default Huawei launcher and Nova).
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
Hi mate

Which version did you buy?

Also, re the launcher, how different is compared with the LG v20. I like the bult in launcher they had.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Some_dude36:
It doesn't , That's what I said must be nice waiting for the 256gb version when we havent even gotten the 64gb version here yet ! I think Im just going to get an LG v35 thinq ULM version . it has no dev support , unlocked boot loader or root but im sick of waiting and want a good audio phone. I honestly couldnt give a flying ____ about a camera . im not a photographer nor do I feel the need to see 48mp pictures of my goofy face .
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
I am really running out of patience now. I want to purchase this phone but i want to get the 256gb version.

I am starting to wander if this version of the phone even exists.

I need a new phone desperately, maybe i just get the s10+ but i hate the exynos version.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] _jis_:
The built-in launcher is not bad at all, but I also use Nova where I am at home :)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] ema00:
In Italy it was available but now it's out of stock. So the 256gb exists :D
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
I am starting to think about leaving this phone and getting the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. Obviously it is more expensive.

What do you guys think of this phone? if price was not an issue, how many of you would think of getting this instead?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] wingsfortheirsmiles:
I can only go by the spec sheet but I'd stay the course with the Zenfone 6 because it has the jack, ability to hold 2 SIMs and a SD card as well as a brighter screen (and I personally prefer LCD to AMOLED).
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
I am really starting to think this is a bad sign... How is it possible the 256gb model can NOT be bought anywhere?

What a joke
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
Cant believe i am still waiting for the 8gb version of this phone to be sold in the UK.

Why is it taking so long?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] miva2:
[MENTION=8702529]mkermali99[/MENTION] I got the 8gb 256gb version. Ordered it from the Asus eshop. It ran amazing the first few days. Can't boot it anymore though. I'm in the process of getting a new one. It took a while because I was on holiday.

I don't know what the launcher is like on the LG V20. I think the Asus Launcher is similar to the Google launcher but haven't used that more than a few minutes so can't say for sure.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] electro_nik:
New update

Rolled
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] techtalker11:
TBH I loved my oneplus 3 which btw got a pie ota update before I switched to Asus 6z.

Asus 6z gets the job done, but the flip camera is more of a hassle than a feature.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] aleksander002:
I just got my Zenfone 6 8/256 version A from Asus E-shop. So yeah, it exists and it was available to purchase between 17th and 18th July. I think I'm happy with it. Call quality seems alright to me, display is not that bad as some would suggest. This LCD gets bright enough and its PWM is great. No visible flickering (which is usually the case with amoleds too) so my eyes don't hurt after watching something in darkness. Poweramp works fine with Hi-Res audio mode. Androbench results for seq read/write are 864/238. Flip camera seems sturdy enough, it may make some noise when putting phone on a table but if that's a problem you can put a bit of isolating tape under Flip camera. It can give you rattle dampening effect. Software works great, so is network connectivity. As for me, moving parts are a disadvantage but still I can recommend it.

Asus. In search of Zenfones on stock.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
Anyones zenfone rebooting or restartring randomly. I read somewhere online that this is happening to some phones

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] newsguy99:
I just got my USA version C of the Zenfone 6 today. Transfered all my data from my Note 9 over.

No crashes or hangs.

I'm also a Mint Mobile customer, and I'm actually getting better coverage (more bars) from the Zenfone 6 than I was with my Note 9.

I did have to update my APN settings, but, that wasn't a problem. Overall, my apps load super fast, the camera is FAST doing the front view thing, and takes some nice pictures!

I've updated to the newest firmware (as it already downloaded to the phone as I was setting it up).

I'm on build PPR2.181005.003.WW_Phone-16.1211.1906.5 (build number)

So far, so good!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
HI

Which version of the phone did you buy and where was it from?

Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Jaripi:
8/256 Gb model. I bought it from Asus own internet shop. Asus shipped it from Germany. Received it on the beginning of July, so over 5 weeks ago. No problems with my phone, all is working well.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] mkermali99:
How is available in stock in Europe and not in the UK?

Do you have a link for the website you bought it from?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] Jaripi:
North europe is just above them, at least on a map ;)

No stock 8/256 Gb model at the moment, but have stock 6/128 Gb one

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
Ok so before you start calling me a newb and tell me to use the forums search I want to let you know that I have and since I'm really new to this it still really confuses me. I'm really new to the wm6 platform, I had a dash/excaliber and sent it back for a wing because I wanted a touch screen. So I guess the easiest way to get answers would be to describe what I'm looking for. I really love the ipod ui on the iphone, I know there is one for the wing that I can use but I want to get rid of all the tmobile crap they put on, so I need a new rom I'm thinking?

Also I would really like a weather plugin on the today screen, not like a link to the program but one that shows the current temp and maybe a picture.

And is there anyway to have the ui big enough to use my finger to choose. I found some dialer screens that are big enough for that, but I think some of them have problems with caller id, anyway around that?

I guess that is all for now, I will keep asking if there is anything else I have questions about. And thanks to everyone that helps me out.

:) I'd say this is my longest first post on any forum.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
Ok another quick question. If I do the debranding method. Hard reset then when it says it has to install some more stuff I do a soft reset, so it doesnt install. What do I lose with that? and what extra tmobile stuff does it install if I dont do that. Thanks for the help everybody.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] kweng_ca:
Iphone ui... there are no herald roms with that installed. And you wont be getting rid of the winmo junk because those iphone ui's run on top of your today screen and hog up your ram.

When you soft reset after flashing a rom, you dont lose much of anything, it just saves time and doesnt load the themes by default.

My opinion is that the best thing you can do is flash one of ttran's biggy roms and you will have everything you can dream of. Weather forecasts and beyond...good luck.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
1. Download and install any ROM. The Stock ROM has a pitiful amount of RAM and storage space. Just to emphasize:

ROM: Stock vs Just2Clean

RAM: 11mb vs 32mb

Storage: 20 something vs 60 something

2. Download and install PointUI. It is a slick UI that has big icons and a built in weather app.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] bigdee:
Many Choices here sounds like u might like the Roms with the Cube option built in & S2U2 all the Roms are different its like crack once you start you cant stop LOL i use one of ASerg Roms now good luck enjoy and read read read
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
Ok I like this idea I checked out that pointui, looks really nice.

Do any of your J2C roms include the internet sharing? thats something I use at my girls place alot, since she doesn't have internet. If it doesn't come included in any of your releases is there a cab I can download.

And thanks for the responses guys
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
There are a few people (especially zcink) that require Internet Sharing, too, so you will find a zcink version that has Internet Sharing in it. That version will not have task manager, though, since zcink uses a different task manager than I do, I didn't include it. You can use that one and just download any task manager that you'd like. Or not even download one since you'll be using PointUI and it's built in taskmanager.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
Ok so this is what I keep getting. ERROR [228] : INVALID FILE SIZE

The image file is corrupted. Check your up date utility.

Im trying to flash the j2c zcink edition. And it might be because I dont have a sd card, but other roms wont even work. Is there anyway around this.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
No. As stated, J2C ROMs are all too small to be flashed through ActiveSync or any other non SD card way. The SD card is the only thing that the bootloader doesn't check the size in. If you're having problems flashing other ROMs, have you HardSPL'd the device or do you use USPL?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
I've tried both. So I guess that means I really do need a memory card
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] captchronik17:
Ok cool I got it working. Found a 2gb card for 15 bucks. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Don't expect huge improvements from what they've delivered in the past. They do have some new tech to play with to improve night shots thanks to the 48MP sensor (although missing OIS). And some will prefer the superior front cam capabilities for sure.

DxOMark Asus ZenFone 6 front camera review:

https://www.dxomark.com/asus-zenfone-6-front-camera-review/
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] TheCookieButter:
The best front cam that they've tested, not surprisingly. Not an astounding result considering it's using its rear camera. Hopefully software changes and/or Gcam can help improve it further.

Curious to see how it scores in the Rear cam test.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] subhani:
Right. Like, why test it as just a selfie camera?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Real Life Review] TheCookieButter:
DXoMark does smartphones as 'selfie' (front) and 'mobile' (rear) with separate reviews. I imagine the criteria is different so they can't use one score for both still. If you look at any rear cam review the photos are a mix of people and objects, while the front cam reviews are practically entirely people based (hence 'selfie' score). It won't necessarily get the same score as a rear cam as it does a selfie cam since there is different criteria to keep even testing.

Dxomark only produces selfie score just because Asus want to show off their top score on-stage at Computex 2019

My guess is the rear camera software is still got lots more room for improvements, XDA posted today that there are major firmware upgrades for camera quality improvements

https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-update-super-night-mode-hdr/

Image quality, colors and skintone looks good to my eyes in this sample https://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4543/5333582/1/rv/asus-zenfone-6-zs630kl-6gb_128gb-review/ and even in DXOmark selfie review, the skin tone and colors are very similar to Pixel 3 which is very good for Asus smartphone
