It has been pretty common in Asus phones recently, the dual sim thing, except the Zenfone 3 series. The 5000mah was previously only for Zenfone Max devices, but now they put it in the flagship
dual sim + dedicated sd card slot is pretty common now. and with how much the market is flooded with new phones every few months, we can afford to be very picky when getting phones
@@baldino9165 Don't think so. Mostly you have to choose between using the second slot for a SIM OR a microSD card. That's why they're called hybrid. I'd love to know of other phones that have two SIMs PLUS microSD because I'm very interested in that option.
I'm in the market for a new phone. And i'm mostly looking at those at the 200-400 usd price range and I'm pretty sure at least 50% of the new ones have dedicated card slots. You're probably looking at flagship phones that sacrifice features unnecessarily (e.g. 3.5mm jack, dedicated slot, smaller battery life). Heck even some supposed flagship dont have sd card.
If they release a "pro" version of this with an OLED 1440 display they may have another home run in the 600-700 range. GCam mod once it's available and this thing will be amazing at pictures too.
@@exisTxD If you use emulators, you can run games from the NES to the Nintendo Wii. 3DS Games via an unofficial Citra are possible but slow unless 2D (An official Citra port is still being worked on). PS2 games are possible via DamonPS2 although emulation quality ranges from awesome to barely playable. In other words retro to last-last-gen gaming is quite possible on modern phones not to mention official game ports on mobile
I am waiting for this thing to hit the shelves and I will sell my current Note 8 to get it. - 5000 mAh battery - Notchless screen - 3.5mm jack - Dedicated SD card slot - Stock Android (almost) - SUPER camera - Top Processor and RAM - Excellent audio quality It literally checks all the boxes. Except the AMOLED which for me is not AT ALL a deal breaker. Actually it is good to keep the price down..
But u sure to change from note 8? Just wait until next year which will be note 8 last update note 8 also have waterproofing that would come in handy bc asus never tried to put any kind of rubber in their openings (zf5 literally have a gap big enough to let water seep in immediately in their headphone jack)
@@AgungRizkiAS the only 2 aspects where the note 8 is superior to the z6 is the display and water resistance, and the s pen of course. Honestly I would trade these for the battery life and the superior processor
Love your professional dedication Michael! The unboxing experience in your video is unbeatable. I almost felt like I was there. Not even "Unbox Therapy" covers so many details like you in a such cinematic way!
I like it. Ordered one last night and mine will be here in two days. I got the Twilight silver color. Looking forward to getting it as I let my Note 10 Plus mini tablet go to get it. I found a good deal on the 128g model under $500. Went for it.
Wide angle lens in front camera? Wow... Finally, someone is doing it.... I will definitely buy this... HM price? When will this be availble in Philippines?
I recently bought a ZenFone Max Pro. I'm pretty pleased with it. Among other things, I must agree, it's 500 mAh battery, is AWESOME. I asked a Filipino friend to recommend a good phone that would work well using Philippine service providers. ASUS ZenFone was excellent advice!
5000 mAh battery + SD 855 + front n rear 48mp camera + headphone jack + that mechanism on side + ultimate price under 35k best all in one flagship phone !!🙌🙌 eagerly waiting fr it
Low price, monster battery, full screen, Android Q and R promised updates, clean OS, Top-spec SD855. This is the first time Asus have caught my attention. Phone of 2019 so far!
Now I just hope Zenfone 7 will be as good as Zenfone 6, cause mainly I like the bigger battery and better CPU and GPU. (Don't judge me that I just mainly want the higher stuff for Fortnite mobile)
It has got a lot of good stuff packed _ The SD 855 Almost bezzel less screen 48 mPxl front and rear camera 5000 mAh battery Dedicated memory card slot Stereo speakers Headphone jack Remappable alert slider - All these in a comfortable price range. One can easily forget the misses like IP rating, AMOLED screen, wireless charging - all these comes at a price. So, from a common man's perspective, great job, Asus 👍🏼 Waiting for the phone to be released in India 🇮🇳
THUMBS UP IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ASUS RELEASE A PRO VERSION OF THIS PHONE! The base version looks so promising, it would be just perfect if Asus launches Zenfone 6 Pro for around $649. Main improvements I'd like to see would be: 1. Bigger, and a higher resolution AMOLED display(please keep the edges FLAT!) 2. Add UFS3.0 fast storage please! 3. Add OIS to the main sensor(maybe add a 3rd sensor with a telephoto lens, but I don't really care much) 4. Add faster charging(Quick Charge 4.0+ or USB PD 3.0)
MrJOHN00171 you can’t have a big battery like 5000 and fast charging than what they have. The only way would be to make the phone much thicker, which would be bad. The battery needs space as does the charging area bc their needs to be space to have fast charging, the more space between the electric + and - the faster charging can be. The more space, the less space you have for a big battery. It’s one or the other, can’t do both.
asus is one of the brand that have the consistency to maintain best camera in a budget rage...and thise is a deal braker. for that awesome specs...and lowest price and build quality.
I like the popping up of camera idea but they should have done something better design at the back of slot that left open when the cam opened, a little logo or a colour design would have done better.
Hi, does this phone has 2 sim cards slots + 1 sd card slot = 3 cards slots? Also, does it allow to set a different ringtone/sms, WhatsApp tone for different contacts and different apps? Thank you
It looks like Asus has got the idea of how to make a decent smartphone. I reckon a good used for that multi angle camera is Street photography. being able to angle your phone towards the ground, and have the camera facing forward, is a good way of taking candid photos.
Great unboxing video! This made me want to get that Zenfone 6 to use for my Mobile Vlogging!. A Really upgrade from the current Phone im using for my Channel Video ,Zenfone 5. Thanks for this video 😁
Hi, i understand that this phone has an lcd display. Are there any options in display settings that can make it more saturated so that it will seem more amoled like ? Thanks!
huawei has good camera hardware but terrible camera software...huawei has terrible colour science it literally gives its own colours to the objects in the photos and creates a totally different image(colour wise)than what really is

@adamsguy270 what do you mean ?
Would have a been a great phone. Should have lost the chin!
@adamsguy270 I actually rarely play games on my phone
I used zenfone 3, trust me... zenfone would never disappoint u
True true
same here :)
im using zenfone 4 max :">
My zenfone 3 is still working well.
Ze551ml zenfone 2 disappointed all with display flicking problem including me
I deff want this! I have had a zenfone for the past 4 years, i refuse to use any other brand! I love my zenfones!
Same here...
I've been using zenfone max pro m1 for the last few months and i'm in love....
If i have money i would definitely go for this phone...
Me too the battery is the phenomenal part of Asus I would definitely go for it after 6 months or so since I am flat broke now
I m also use the Zenfone all devices even Zenfone rog awsm smartphone
that means you can do a self vlogging with crazy 4K 60fps resolution 😂
i’m curious to know if it can shoot video on the wide angle lens since oneplus 7 pro can’t
@@poikatiikeri ofc it can
But it doesn't have OIS
@@KuruKuruGorilla sadly it doesn't have ois :( idk what asus thinkin bcause all of the previous zenfone flagship does have ois from zenfone 3

Go get the note 10? Lol
'You can adjust the tilt of the camera'
Sooo, this phone is basically the ultimate spycam
atleast the fbi cant use the front cam anymore
It's going to be my first Asus phone. They really diserve the hype.
*Other phone manufacturers (cough cough): we are removing the 3.5mm jack, sd card slot/hybrid slot to save space.

Exactly...

What a weird fan base this channel has...y'all are talking about having protection, and this phone has an awesome flip camera

Urghhhh I'm an asus user and I'm so excited about it 😍
"Its always good to have protection"

Yes you should always have protection while you are at work having gay sex. 😂

If Asus can give their flagship phone a 500mAh battery, I see no excuse for other manufacturers not to be able to do it as well.
I love this guy, I watch all the way from Nigeria
His reviews are good
I'm salivating and drooling ... I want one now ♥️
Had a zenfone 3 zoom, loved it. Can't wait to get this new beast!
Waiting for Zenfone 7 next year cause that's probably when my Zenfone 5 will start slowing down a lot
Me too, that is my plan too
Right on man.. Z5 here as well.. 😊
Now I just hope Zenfone 7 will be as good as Zenfone 6, cause mainly I like the bigger battery and better CPU and GPU. (Don't judge me that I just mainly want the higher stuff for Fortnite mobile)
Really love your speaking voice. Its not annoying! Clap clap
Michael: Not a fan, but it's always good to have protection.
Me: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!
It has got a lot of good stuff packed _
The SD 855
Almost bezzel less screen
48 mPxl front and rear camera
5000 mAh battery
Dedicated memory card slot
Stereo speakers
Headphone jack
Remappable alert slider
- All these in a comfortable price range. One can easily forget the misses like IP rating, AMOLED screen, wireless charging - all these comes at a price.

Asus : does it work now?
As a Zenfone 5 (2018) user, this new ZenUI is exciting me
Can you heart this comment? Im one of your fan here in the Philippines
This one is an absolute winner
That manual flip control will make easier boso shots, ladies be very cautious
This phone will be a sort of spy phone, even though the camera is very noticeable
This is the best phone so far. The flip camera can be controlled according to the angle u like 😍

The phone already support 27w qc4.0. it's just that in the box you will get qc3.0 charger. Go watch official Asus video.
One more question when I use whatsapp video call firstly I change the direction of flip camera.
My next phone from ASUS I'll order in silver.
Nice is it here already locally? What's the ph pricing? I wish there's an 8+128gb variant.

It's better if they get rid of the front camera. I don't use it anyway hahaha
Only for video calling 😆

Why dont u make ur own phone? Most people use front camera nowadays and definitely not just for video calling.
you might not want to see your face🤣🤣🤣lol...
