Dave Lee gives me the comfy home vibe where I can just play any of his videos and I don't need to worry about the world cuz I'm at home. Ty for that Mr. Lee and I hope you have a busy summer. I meant it in a good way.
Hey Dave - I know you won’t read this through the sea of comments you get - but, I just have to say something. You seem to just know, what kind of intro to play. And by that I mean the music, the visual - it perfectly fits whatever mood I happen to be at the time. Sad, happy, excited, etc. It’s honestly incredible. It’s like you somehow know how I’m feeling, and you match the mood of the review intro perfectly. Every single damn time. Keep up the amazing work, I don’t usually leave comments but you are one of my favorite not just tech RUclipsrs, but media makers in general. Lovin the vids ❤️
I just like the Asus a lot!! Yes it's 500$ which is a mid-range price but a flagship specs. That SD855, 5000 mAH battery, full screen display, the very rare headphone jack!! That's amazing ❤
@potta dod Amoled is Samsung tech. They can't make Amoled displays. But their LCDs are the best LCDs you can get right now. Even the iPhone Xr's LCD sucks ass in comparison to Asus's. I have used both of them and I prefer the Xr(for obvious reason) but hated it for that LCD.
Totally agree with this list! I’m planning on picking up the Zenfone 6 and I’m hoping others do too - they’ve nailed the package and price, and if they keep support going for it, they’ll really have a winning formula on their hands.
Dave, my favorite is the Zen Phone6. The flip camera is very cool & a new innovation. Plus a 5,000mamp battery and the latest 855processer. Plus a vastly improved software. The camera is good enough. If there is a downer the LCD display as opposed to OLED. Very nice review!
The ZenFone 6 is really tempting. Also, I'm definitely not getting a Huawei next time I'm buying a phone, because of the ban and the fact that ARM have suspended business with Huawei.
I bet Huawei will just ignore ARM's licensing and continue to sell ARM chip in China, depends on whether TSMC continues to cooperate, or they will need to find another manufacturer.
0:50 It's crazy how I'm thinking that the bezel is thicc now, considering how I thought it was almost bezel less last year, shows you how we're spoiled with bezel less phones
Am using a Zenfone 5Z... And to be fair... They been great with phone updates ... It's around 8. Months now , and the phone got better with the updates ...
@@wlagalvez pro: -best lcd in Android -cheaper than most 845 phones -pretty good main camera -good speaker -its an all rounder phone actually - beautiful back design (try see ur phone under natrium lamp (orange light street)) Con: - okay-ish battery, 3300 mah, -zen ui 5 is horrible, wait for zen ui 6 update -the wide angle is not that good, especially the dynamic range - pretty big notch by today standard - its not waterproof at all, its not even splash proof, water will seep in immediately if the water somehow got in from its opening
I don't know why Dave is middled about the camera. It's using a pretty stock camera APK, and it has the same lens and similar digital setup to the OP7 Pro, apart from that telephoto lens. The camera is meant to be, and IS *really* good - and that's not even 'for the money'.
That's very unreliable. Let's take S7 and S7 edge as an example: The official Samsung build is still active, based on Android 9.0 and they still release "over the air" security updates quarterly ( security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb ) The official LineageOS build is inactive since Feb 24, based on Android 7.1.2 and receives no further security updates ( www.androidpolice.com/2019/02/24/lineageos-ends-official-nougat-builds-as-pie-support-approaches/ ) Not to mention Lineage OS has never supported the Snapdragon version of S7 (only Exynos) You CAN install newer Lineage OS versions to your Exynos S7 that aren't official. That is, if you trust folks online to be responsible for what's on a device that's always in your pocket, has multiple cameras and mics and that you probably use to access your emails and banking accounts. Or if you are tech savvy enough and would rather waste your time working with source code than spend that time making money for a new phone
@@augustinaslukauskas4433 There are many more roms than linageos like RR(forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/9-0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-t3891229) or pixel experience(forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3773983) for the Samsung s7/s7edge which are official and get OTA updates
I've been using Asus Zenfone 5z for about 8 months and great price/performance product in my opinion. Zenfone 6 looks like an exciting product. Competition is always nice for us customers. Nice comparison video. Thanks Dave.
If people really doubt the performance of Zenfone lineup then you should test it out by yourself. I'm a Zenfone 5Z user it's been a year now and the software updates is just crazy, feels like I updated the phone every month. The camera got a good rating on DXo Mark and it is a pretty good camera in real life. Well if it's not good enough then we have a GCAM port ready to install and it's solve the "bad processing images" of Asus phone. The build quality is just magnificent and I can't see myself using a $1000 phone but wanting to see what's Asus coming after the 5Z, now we got Zen 6 and it's one hella great phone again at it's price point. At this point I really can't see others brand in Android area doing a pretty good job than Asus - I mean we only got iPhone to choose in iOS area - so for Android I'll go with Asus anyday 😉. Great review Dave but you need to check out the camera again after the first update, I think right now there is no other phone than can record a 4k video with insane quality like Zen 6 did. Check out other full review about the camera and you'll find what I mean. Have a good day
Its just the LCD panel, we should at least get an OLED display if we're paying $500 for a phone. I just rather pay $170 more for the Oneplus 7 Pro which has AMOLED display with 90hz refresh rate.
@@nea3451 the choice is yours, as from my own experience Asus own one of the great if not the best LCD panel, it's Wide Color Gamut system make it stands out and sometimes you forgot it's an LCD panel

I have a Razer Phone 2 and I plan on getting a different phone. My reasons: 1. Clicking/ popping sound coming from the speakers when the speakers are in use, this a very common issue with this phone. I’ve sent it in to be fixed/ replaced 2. GIGANTIC AND UNCOMFORTABLE. My hands are small and this phone is 220 grams- so when laying in bed on my side I literally need 2 hands to hold it (or use the less comfortable arm for better grip). The corners are uncomfortable as well. My friend, whenever she sees my Razer Phone 2, she says it’s like a brick- and it is. 3. A very unknown phone and there’s probably only 5 cases in the market for this thing. 4. There are much better phones on the market that you can buy used for much cheaper (Galaxy s10 for example). I originally got this phone cause I’m a gamer and it does a great job with games, though it does drain battery fairly quickly when gaming. (Went from 100% to 12% in around 2 and a half hours, I was playing Ark with a Bluetooth remote and the phone was set to 120 refresh rate and the Razer logo light was on, I probably should have turned the light off but whatever) I sent it to get fixed for the hardware issue so now I’m stuck using my old iPhone 6s (why my profile picture has an Apple phone). So I shouldn’t complain about the battery life, because let’s be real an Apple phone dies in literally 2 hours just scrolling on Instagram. The chroma light on the back IS cool, but after having it for a couple months (the hype went down) I ended up just turning it off to conserve battery. If the phone never developed the speaker issue I would have never thought of getting a new phone but because it developed the issue for only having for a couple months... my faith isn’t too high in it being replaced.
@@xingchenglin4328 Smart move not to compete too much with Google at the $400.00-$500.00 Google Pixel 3a/ 3a XL price range they might get banned.lol😂😂😂
zenfone 6 for me. simply because the battery, headphone jack, and clean OS... but lately i kinda like it more because it is manufactured in taiwan which is you know why... dont get me wrong, i like chinese phone like oneplus etc, but with current situation, i need more convenient than ever...
I hear you on the Taiwan thing. If you didn't already know, HTC is also based in Taiwan, although the brand is starting to die off in popularity, and Google bought out (hired) half of HTC's smartphone division engineers.
ASUS Zenfone 6 IMO is currently the best choice, I don't know how it will match up to the upcoming underscreen camera that is about to come out, but I think it would stand its ground well. 7:13 Got me to notice how Dave put the phone down with care, and then I re-wind the video back to look at others, no wonder Dave's video is awsome as he handles them like all the things he have.
Good comparison, but I think you should have included the Essential phone. I just purchased one new for $279, complete with Android Pie. Can't beat that.
The RAM and high refresh rate screen teamed up with the vapor chamber and design that's engineered for better mobile gaming are what make it the best choice on this list in my opinion. I really wish tech reviewers would stop shitting on phones because of the camera alone. Yes, people take pictures with their phones. But people who give a damn about their photography by a regular camera. Does the camera work? If so, does it do a decent job relative the performance and feel of the rest of the phone? If that's also a yes, then I don't give a damn. The only complaint people seem to be able to give in the review industry are all "its camera sucks." It's a fucking gaming phone. It's not meant for photography. It's meant to get the best performance and experience in games. Sorry for the rant 8bit. Just putting in my two cents as a followup to your correction.
@@faith_spooky6270 Not currently, can't afford it at the moment and I'm locked in a contract with a shitty ass samsung phone until June. I'm getting it next month when my contract expires.

Great video Dave! My daily driver this year is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. Costed £499, has an all screen display and has that snappy slide camera which is so addictive (plus makes a sword sound when you slide the camera). Bad thing about it though is the 3200mah battery and single bottom speaker :/ Should have waited for the 5G version though. Oops!
Oneplus 7 (not pro) under 500 dollars , tear drop notch, sd 855, dual stereo speaker with dolby atmos, oxygen os with android q beta and the usual one plus features
Yeah he is being misleading this time around. The 7 destroys the Zenphone anytime... I mean I wouldn't pay 500 bucks for an LCD in 2019, that's ridiculous.
Amoled vs lcd, i would say go for lcd as there are issues of screen burn with amoled. I has s7edge,s8 and now s9plus, all are having screen burn issues. Plus replacements for lcd are very cheap
@@GeraltOfRivia69 burn in only occurs when a phone is left on for an extremely long time on the same screen (or if some elements on the screen stay the same). That almost never happens on smartphones. Burn in only became an issue on pixel phones because they used low quality oled panels.
@@sandeepinuganti8791 The cellular bands that the phone has is a bit lacking. For example, in the US this phone's best bet is TMobile but even then it's missing a few bands that TMobile uses. Link: www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/bpv443/what_us_network_would_work_best_with_the_zenfone_6/
I like how Dave showed us the 120Hz screen refresh rate on the Razer phone on my 60Hz screen refresh rate phone. It's a first seeing the clear difference for me. =))
Finally someone spoke about the Zenfone 6. Thank You ♥️ This phone deserves attention which it isn't receiving as of now. Isn't the phone available throughout Europe and America?
Dave, I use the s10+ and I gave my s9+ to my wife. In my opinion the 9+ at it's price is the best of the lot. If you can purchase for five hundred bucks it's an excellent price. It's the swiss army knife of all 5models your discussing. It does everything quite well. Especially the display. Great review to help people chose!
Dave, honestly you are the best reviewer the world! Your voice is like a Zen, and also you don't look like reading a script it comes naturally to you. Keep it up 😎👍🏻
Hi Dave, I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do, I really like the format of your vids! I also used to like Unbox Therapy but it has changed, I hope yours will not :)
On Amazon, you can get a "refreshed" black version of the Note 9 for $535. That seems like a great deal, & you have 30 days to return it if there's something wrong with it. Although, a blue version with 512GB is $710 or Lavender for $715. That one has the option to add a 2 year protection plan as well. I'd probably get the blue.
Woah the asus looks like a total steal for 500 dollar range. I've had a galaxy s7 a few years now and I would totally buy that at this price point when it releases globally. Got virtually NO bezels (which thank goodness, galaxy s7 feels so old now) and it just looks premium. I don't really use my camera TOO much, I mostly just want a really good 2019 experience in a phone, and asus looks like it could do it for me :) great video Dave! Edit: only thing I would be worried about is the connection. I'm not too familiar with Asus as a smartphone producer and my only other wish would be that it can get good coverage in the United States. I know phones like the Poco are very good value but they dont work with most US carriers. Otherwise I would've bought that phone ages ago.
Also you don’t have to submerge the phone to do a water test, a more realistic test would be using it in the rain and see if it holds up after a while in the rain
People : Samsung doesn’t push software updates like other manufacturers regularly.. The truth is : Samsung releases stable updates which runs perfectly on the devices unlike my Xiaomi phone, which gets updates atleast once in a month and the main reason for that is every update creates issues like sometimes the camera doesn't work properly, sometimes its the notification light/keyboard/call quality etc. That is why they push so many software updates to resolvs previous update's problems :3
If the Zenfone 6 had an OLED display instead of an LCD, it would be the perfect phone. As for the camera, if GCam gets ported to it it'll definitely hold up well.
Even without amoled, it is still a great deal. Headphone jack, 5000 mah battery, stock android, stereo speakers and hq headphone performance. Also its display is really shines compared to other ips displays. I'd say display is slightly better than HTC U11 panel, which has really good ips lcd. So if amoled display is not deadly for the buyer, zenfone 6 is the best deal right now.
@@myolgiden it's a great deal no doubt but as a person who's been using a phone with an OLED for over 2 years, I can't go back to using an LCD on a phone
@@enthusiastech I used galaxy s6 for 1.5 years, and after that I changed it to HTC U11. Believe me, it doesn't that bad. It's about quality of ips panel. I know that many ips panel is shit. (Unfortunately this is what it is. But in my opinion, Zenfone 6's ips is even better than HTC U11's.) But good ones are not that bad compared to amoled. Sometimes ips is better your eyes too. Now I use ZTE Axon 7 and HTC U11 at the same time, and HTC U11 is more comfortible than ZTE Axon 7's amoled to my eyes. I think you should not have prejudgement about good quality ips panels.
@@myolgiden agreed, when I looked at an iPhone XR I wasn't even able to tell the difference unless I had a phone with an OLED side by side. Guess I'll just have to see how the display is with my own eyes until I make a call.
@@enthusiastech XR's ips panel is good, but resolution and ppi values are really low. I compared it with my U11, in terms of quality they were close, but U11's high resolution was way better than XR. I think Zenfone 6's display will be better for your eyes because of resolution and ppi.

Hey Dave - I know you won’t read this through the sea of comments you get - but, I just have to say something.
You seem to just know, what kind of intro to play. And by that I mean the music, the visual - it perfectly fits whatever mood I happen to be at the time. Sad, happy, excited, etc. It’s honestly incredible. It’s like you somehow know how I’m feeling, and you match the mood of the review intro perfectly. Every single damn time.
Keep up the amazing work, I don’t usually leave comments but you are one of my favorite not just tech RUclipsrs, but media makers in general. Lovin the vids ❤️
I just like the Asus a lot!! Yes it's 500$ which is a mid-range price but a flagship specs. That SD855, 5000 mAH battery, full screen display, the very rare headphone jack!!
That's amazing ❤
And they finally ditched their Software for a clean Android One like UI. They really ticked a lot of boxes for a lot of people.
Would have been much better if it also had OLED display even if it bumped up the price by $50 or so.

@potta dod Amoled is Samsung tech. They can't make Amoled displays. But their LCDs are the best LCDs you can get right now. Even the iPhone Xr's LCD sucks ass in comparison to Asus's. I have used both of them and I prefer the Xr(for obvious reason) but hated it for that LCD.
@@an_orange8911 their lcd displays won't disappoint you trust me I've used a ZenPone and and iPhone 8
Totally agree with this list! I’m planning on picking up the Zenfone 6 and I’m hoping others do too - they’ve nailed the package and price, and if they keep support going for it, they’ll really have a winning formula on their hands.
Xiaomi Mi 9 shouldn't be overlooked.
Other interesting option is Oppo Reno
mi 9 is far better than OP6T
Jup mi 9 has taken over the one plus and oppo is taking over as wel

@asimple lol. But, I’d rather not get my head chopped off by a boomerang.
Dave, my favorite is the Zen Phone6. The flip camera is very cool & a new innovation. Plus a 5,000mamp battery and the latest 855processer. Plus a vastly improved software. The camera is good enough. If there is a downer the LCD display as opposed to OLED. Very nice review!
Why not get the Xiaomi mi9 then,better camera, better screen, similar price and class leading battery life with just a 3300mah battery.
@@ridingweeb4801 because xiaomi mi 9 dosent have 48mp selfie, selfie 4k shooting, headphone jack, 5000mah battery. 😊
@@evolvedmadman7354 true that!
The ZenFone 6 is really tempting. Also, I'm definitely not getting a Huawei next time I'm buying a phone, because of the ban and the fact that ARM have suspended business with Huawei.
I bet Huawei will just ignore ARM's licensing and continue to sell ARM chip in China, depends on whether TSMC continues to cooperate, or they will need to find another manufacturer.
VitoTheo I bought a matebook x pro and im not sure if a i should return it or not bc if the ban w us buisnesses. What should i do?

The Asus Zenfone 6 is the perfect phone. All it's missing out on is an OLED/AMOLED screen, and possibly a telephoto lens.
Also IP Rating
Even Zenfone 5z was a great phone
I don't know why Dave is middled about the camera. It's using a pretty stock camera APK, and it has the same lens and similar digital setup to the OP7 Pro, apart from that telephoto lens. The camera is meant to be, and IS *really* good - and that's not even 'for the money'.

Just go with the S9+. You can always install LineageOS.
RIGHT ✊
That's very unreliable. Let's take S7 and S7 edge as an example:
The official Samsung build is still active, based on Android 9.0 and they still release "over the air" security updates quarterly ( security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb )
The official LineageOS build is inactive since Feb 24, based on Android 7.1.2 and receives no further security updates ( www.androidpolice.com/2019/02/24/lineageos-ends-official-nougat-builds-as-pie-support-approaches/ )
Not to mention Lineage OS has never supported the Snapdragon version of S7 (only Exynos)
You CAN install newer Lineage OS versions to your Exynos S7 that aren't official. That is, if you trust folks online to be responsible for what's on a device that's always in your pocket, has multiple cameras and mics and that you probably use to access your emails and banking accounts. Or if you are tech savvy enough and would rather waste your time working with source code than spend that time making money for a new phone
@@augustinaslukauskas4433 There are many more roms than linageos like RR(forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/9-0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-t3891229) or pixel experience(forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3773983) for the Samsung s7/s7edge which are official and get OTA updates
I'm glad you went with Asus Zenphone 6. They have pulled the rabbit out of the hat this time. Plus promised Android Q and R updates to come.
I've been using Asus Zenfone 5z for about 8 months and great price/performance product in my opinion. Zenfone 6 looks like an exciting product. Competition is always nice for us customers. Nice comparison video. Thanks Dave.

صفاء اسم حلو
If people really doubt the performance of Zenfone lineup then you should test it out by yourself. I'm a Zenfone 5Z user it's been a year now and the software updates is just crazy, feels like I updated the phone every month. The camera got a good rating on DXo Mark and it is a pretty good camera in real life. Well if it's not good enough then we have a GCAM port ready to install and it's solve the "bad processing images" of Asus phone. The build quality is just magnificent and I can't see myself using a $1000 phone but wanting to see what's Asus coming after the 5Z, now we got Zen 6 and it's one hella great phone again at it's price point. At this point I really can't see others brand in Android area doing a pretty good job than Asus - I mean we only got iPhone to choose in iOS area - so for Android I'll go with Asus anyday 😉. Great review Dave but you need to check out the camera again after the first update, I think right now there is no other phone than can record a 4k video with insane quality like Zen 6 did.
Check out other full review about the camera and you'll find what I mean. Have a good day
Will you please share the link of GCAM app
@@hafsal_hfl just search gcam.apk

I have a Razer Phone 2 and I plan on getting a different phone.
My reasons:
1. Clicking/ popping sound coming from the speakers when the speakers are in use, this a very common issue with this phone. I’ve sent it in to be fixed/ replaced
2. GIGANTIC AND UNCOMFORTABLE. My hands are small and this phone is 220 grams- so when laying in bed on my side I literally need 2 hands to hold it (or use the less comfortable arm for better grip). The corners are uncomfortable as well. My friend, whenever she sees my Razer Phone 2, she says it’s like a brick- and it is.
3. A very unknown phone and there’s probably only 5 cases in the market for this thing.
4. There are much better phones on the market that you can buy used for much cheaper (Galaxy s10 for example).
I originally got this phone cause I’m a gamer and it does a great job with games, though it does drain battery fairly quickly when gaming. (Went from 100% to 12% in around 2 and a half hours, I was playing Ark with a Bluetooth remote and the phone was set to 120 refresh rate and the Razer logo light was on, I probably should have turned the light off but whatever)
I sent it to get fixed for the hardware issue so now I’m stuck using my old iPhone 6s (why my profile picture has an Apple phone). So I shouldn’t complain about the battery life, because let’s be real an Apple phone dies in literally 2 hours just scrolling on Instagram.
The chroma light on the back IS cool, but after having it for a couple months (the hype went down) I ended up just turning it off to conserve battery.
If the phone never developed the speaker issue I would have never thought of getting a new phone but because it developed the issue for only having for a couple months... my faith isn’t too high in it being replaced.
I like when dave told his message to asus in the end. I felt his love and passion on what he's doing, and his kind personality too.
oh yeah, the us doesn't have the oneplus 7 non pro

RealThunder 6 , yeah, why would you pay the same price for a snap dragon 845 instead of a 855 and better cameras
zenfone 6 for me. simply because the battery, headphone jack, and clean OS... but lately i kinda like it more because it is manufactured in taiwan which is you know why... dont get me wrong, i like chinese phone like oneplus etc, but with current situation, i need more convenient than ever...
I hear you on the Taiwan thing.
If you didn't already know, HTC is also based in Taiwan, although the brand is starting to die off in popularity, and Google bought out (hired) half of HTC's smartphone division engineers.
They aren't Chinese by wish. They just got pulled into the Chinese republic. But yeah,in terms of the future (ban) it might happen.
@@saisibi6708 Which company are you referring to, OnePlus ?
ASUS Zenfone 6 IMO is currently the best choice, I don't know how it will match up to the upcoming underscreen camera that is about to come out, but I think it would stand its ground well.
7:13 Got me to notice how Dave put the phone down with care, and then I re-wind the video back to look at others, no wonder Dave's video is awsome as he handles them like all the things he have.
Good job on making that thumbnail stand out, it looks great!
Good comparison, but I think you should have included the Essential phone. I just purchased one new for $279, complete with Android Pie. Can't beat that.
Razer phone 2 has 8GB RAM , not 6GB as mentioned.
The RAM and high refresh rate screen teamed up with the vapor chamber and design that's engineered for better mobile gaming are what make it the best choice on this list in my opinion. I really wish tech reviewers would stop shitting on phones because of the camera alone. Yes, people take pictures with their phones. But people who give a damn about their photography by a regular camera. Does the camera work? If so, does it do a decent job relative the performance and feel of the rest of the phone? If that's also a yes, then I don't give a damn. The only complaint people seem to be able to give in the review industry are all "its camera sucks." It's a fucking gaming phone. It's not meant for photography. It's meant to get the best performance and experience in games. Sorry for the rant 8bit. Just putting in my two cents as a followup to your correction.

Great video Dave! My daily driver this year is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. Costed £499, has an all screen display and has that snappy slide camera which is so addictive (plus makes a sword sound when you slide the camera). Bad thing about it though is the 3200mah battery and single bottom speaker :/ Should have waited for the 5G version though. Oops!

Yeah he is being misleading this time around. The 7 destroys the Zenphone anytime... I mean I wouldn't pay 500 bucks for an LCD in 2019, that's ridiculous.
One plus 7 will be in the same category of one plus 6t. But Asus has headphone jack. AMOLED or LCD 🤔

@@GeraltOfRivia69 burn in only occurs when a phone is left on for an extremely long time on the same screen (or if some elements on the screen stay the same). That almost never happens on smartphones. Burn in only became an issue on pixel phones because they used low quality oled panels.

Could you please give me a link to what you are talking about or elaborate it?
@@sandeepinuganti8791 The cellular bands that the phone has is a bit lacking. For example, in the US this phone's best bet is TMobile but even then it's missing a few bands that TMobile uses. Link: www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/bpv443/what_us_network_would_work_best_with_the_zenfone_6/

I would definitely choose the S9. I'm a hardcore Samsung fan, so gotta choose it.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 still seems like the best value in any phone atm. It's so underrated.
Redmi K20 coming in one week
nice vid but at this point my next phone is either gonna be the pixel 4, razer 3 or whatever HTC brings out next
On Amazon, you can get a "refreshed" black version of the Note 9 for $535. That seems like a great deal, & you have 30 days to return it if there's something wrong with it. Although, a blue version with 512GB is $710 or Lavender for $715. That one has the option to add a 2 year protection plan as well. I'd probably get the blue.
Woah the asus looks like a total steal for 500 dollar range. I've had a galaxy s7 a few years now and I would totally buy that at this price point when it releases globally. Got virtually NO bezels (which thank goodness, galaxy s7 feels so old now) and it just looks premium. I don't really use my camera TOO much, I mostly just want a really good 2019 experience in a phone, and asus looks like it could do it for me :) great video Dave!
Edit: only thing I would be worried about is the connection. I'm not too familiar with Asus as a smartphone producer and my only other wish would be that it can get good coverage in the United States. I know phones like the Poco are very good value but they dont work with most US carriers. Otherwise I would've bought that phone ages ago.
Biggest handicap for Asus phones is their LTE bands. They are very limited and bad for travellers.
What a pick man I too was curious to see you pick Zenfone 6 😎 that made my day
S9 plus is the best build & design performance camera ui sound quality everything is fantastic I'm using it from last 10 months or so still no issue ✌
The shutter speed is slow, but otherwise yeah. I'm waiting to see GSMArena do their battery test on the Zenfone though
Also you don’t have to submerge the phone to do a water test, a more realistic test would be using it in the rain and see if it holds up after a while in the rain
Dude how You Explain ThingS is Lit🔥🔥
People : Samsung doesn’t push software updates like other manufacturers regularly..
The truth is : Samsung releases stable updates which runs perfectly on the devices unlike my Xiaomi phone, which gets updates atleast once in a month and the main reason for that is every update creates issues like sometimes the camera doesn't work properly, sometimes its the notification light/keyboard/call quality etc. That is why they push so many software updates to resolvs previous update's problems :3
I'd say One Plus 6t has the best value since your getting more for the price.
Of course if you wanted a headphone jack go for the 3a or s9
I'd go with oneplus 6t or s9 mainly because of the screen
If the Zenfone 6 had an OLED display instead of an LCD, it would be the perfect phone. As for the camera, if GCam gets ported to it it'll definitely hold up well.
Even without amoled, it is still a great deal. Headphone jack, 5000 mah battery, stock android, stereo speakers and hq headphone performance.
Also its display is really shines compared to other ips displays. I'd say display is slightly better than HTC U11 panel, which has really good ips lcd.
So if amoled display is not deadly for the buyer, zenfone 6 is the best deal right now.
@@myolgiden it's a great deal no doubt but as a person who's been using a phone with an OLED for over 2 years, I can't go back to using an LCD on a phone
@@enthusiastech I used galaxy s6 for 1.5 years, and after that I changed it to HTC U11. Believe me, it doesn't that bad. It's about quality of ips panel. I know that many ips panel is shit. (Unfortunately this is what it is. But in my opinion, Zenfone 6's ips is even better than HTC U11's.)
But good ones are not that bad compared to amoled. Sometimes ips is better your eyes too. Now I use ZTE Axon 7 and HTC U11 at the same time, and HTC U11 is more comfortible than ZTE Axon 7's amoled to my eyes.
I think you should not have prejudgement about good quality ips panels.
@@myolgiden agreed, when I looked at an iPhone XR I wasn't even able to tell the difference unless I had a phone with an OLED side by side. Guess I'll just have to see how the display is with my own eyes until I make a call.
@@enthusiastech XR's ips panel is good, but resolution and ppi values are really low. I compared it with my U11, in terms of quality they were close, but U11's high resolution was way better than XR.
I think Zenfone 6's display will be better for your eyes because of resolution and ppi.
