Do you regret buying Mate 10 now that the P20 is about to be launched with triple cam

So I know technology is advancing and it has been said that as soon as you buy one piece of tech it's already out of date.
On March 27th, Huawei will announce the new P20 phone. It supposedly has triple cameras, 40mpxl resolution, 5 x zoom, better AI and possibly full screen display. So do you feel like you rushed into buying your Mate 10 and now you wish you waited for the P20? Sounds like an impressive phone.
I personally paid £700 for my 128gb Mate 10. The most I have ever spent on a phone in my entire life and don't intend to spend that much again. I am wondering if I rushed too soon. But how long is one expected to wait? ?

No regrets with mate 10 (not pro) p series is equivalent to galaxy s series and mate is equivalent to note series.

No loving my mate 10 pro

if im honest mate 10 pro looks gorges and p20 probably wont be so good looking...and those 3 cameras i really dont care about since this is my first phone with more then one main camera..pictures are way better then my xperias that i had before so im quite happy with the device.

My Mate 10 (non Pro) is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow..2/12/18. No regrets! Of course this is assuming that the phone works well on T-Mobile with no glaring bugs/flaws! I hardly ever take pictures unless on vacation so I think the whole camera hoopla is way overblown anyway. The Mate 10 ticks all my boxes and then some. Actually I would prefer a single lens camera but, this phone has all the other things I want. In fact it's getting harder and harder to find the phone I want, so I'm hoping the Mate 10 works out to be the great phone I hope it is and I plan to hang on to this one for quite some time.

Bought my mate 10 pro today knowing the p11/20 will be released soon. It will be significantly more expensive and I don't think the advances will be significant. So no regrets

I bought mine on January at 799€. At first i was excited having a late 2017 flagship thinking it's 10nm kirin 970 was cutting-edge technology and the AI NPU was woooaaw! I thought i'ld be futureproof for at least 2-3 years. Then boom the news came about the new Exynos and SD 845 supporting hdr10 capture, higher cpu/gpu frequencies, higher framerate encode/decode 4k 60fps+ and more. I really feel that i wasted my money on a late 2017 SoC that cant even shoot at 60fps 4k. Not to mention i thought the NPU would be more usefull.. Maybe adding more scenes via updates that its camera can recognise? or huawei's own assistant on the phone? Nothing.. Just stability after stabilty updates.
I think i'll be selling it soon before it depreciates hard. Maybe around 700 so i can get a device with a SoC that packs more futureproof features.

There will be no soc or device that will be future proof. The technology goes so fast that there will be a faster/better one every time...
I am very happy with my mate 10... ?

You might be happy with the next Pixel phone but you'll be waiting till fall and then buyers remorse will kick in again next spring or don't wait and buy an S9 and you'll still be envious. :laugh: That's just how tech works!
Talk about bloatware. I'm glad Huawei doesn't have an assistant. Will Samsung even have an AI chip with the S9? I know competition is good and all but there are more important problems to tackle like a unified RCS messenger!

Never. Because I got the Pro for 330$

I like Mate 10 Pro due to ui-performance. Samsung just have too much bloatware. Yes with root it can be removed but when it comes to warranty, the samsung employe will tell you: nope my friend warranty void knox 0x1 get the hell out of here while htc, huawei or even sony exchanges phones with unlocked bootloader and root. (sony exchanged my brothers phone even with unlocked bootloader and root. Plus they unlocked the sim network ) higher cpu frequencies does not mean higher performance. Its just about architecture, its about optimization. Radeon RX 480 with low gpu frequencies beats GTX 1060 in vulkan games example. iPhones iOS is very optimised for their phones no stutter etc. I remember they day that I had Galaxy S4 since the release. The UI was stuttering due to touchwiz not optimized. But what I regret buying Mate 10 pro is: Its extrem easy brickable. Just edit build.prop and boom, you have bootloop and FRP locked ---> flashing in fastboot not working anymore. But as I know how to unbrick it I continued But yeah, dolby atmos oreo and v4a is not working on Mate 10 Pro after so many attempts.

No.
Because i knew from the start when P20 will be released (March is the offical release but likely first week June it will take to release in international market except for USA. And by July the Honor 10 will be unveiled). I also know from past experience that the upgrade between P series and Mate series will not be major. I also expect to buy the P series for my wife instead. lol.

No, I love my Mate 10 pro Midnight blue because I think P20 will look like a iphone X to much with the notch!

As the pixel proves, more camera lenses doesn't mean a better picture, and I would say that, apart from design it will be the only changes....

No, P20 is disappointing from the current leaks. And I don't care much about triple lens, you will not be using it very often.

Works great! Take it from a trucker who's all over the country

yes is do a bit. not because the p20 is going to be so much better. because there is already declining support on the mate 10 pro. so project treble didn't bring us anything yet. android 8.1 only for the p20, although it's out for months.
it's not tragic, but at least it's a bit shady and not putting a good light on the future of support.

note 9 or p20 pro.. which is the best option?

Hi guys
Actually I use a galaxy note 8 but in September. I need to change it because expire the rent signature.
So, I'm looking for a new smartphone.. And the 2 smartphone that I found are note. 9 or p20. Pro..
It's true that are 2 different product.. And the p20 has not the spen.. But I don't use the s pen top much..for work I started to use a iPad with the apple pencil and I think is better for my use.. The display is bigger than a smartphone display...
So, if I forget the spen functionality.. What is your suggestion? P20 is cheaper (not too much) and his camera is better.
Otherwise, I'm started to use galaxy series or note series 8 years ago, the first one was galaxy s1.... Actually the UI for me is easy to use...I'm scared I loose some function with the p20..
Can you give me your consideration?
Thanks
Sam

this is like asking in the huawei forum whether the note 9 is better...

Yes I know.. But if someone need to compare this 2 device, where must ask the question?

If you're used to the Samsung UI, the Huawei EMUI will definitely be quite different. Especially in terms of how it handles battery management and memory optimization, as well as maybe the lock screen notifications. My friend does have a P20 Pro while I use the Note 9, having switched from the S8.
I will tell you right away, if you want better battery life get the P20 Pro.
If you want the better camera, it's honestly a toss-up. In true real world experience, the P20 Pro's camera is not quite the home run critics make it out to be, there were some scenes where even my year old Galaxy S8 could beat the P20 Pro.
If you want the better display there's no question about it get the Galaxy Note 9 it's not only bigger it doesn't have a notch and well it's a Samsung OLED display enough said.
The real question of the Galaxy Note 9 is, how much are you willing to pay for the S Pen, and Samsung's slightly less offensive software. My advice is try to shop around for a P20 pro deal, as it's been out for a while now. If you can get it for significantly less than the Note, buy that. If the prices are within $100 of each other, get the Note. If you can wait, wait for the Mate 20 to release and see how that looks; even if you don't like it, both the Note and the P20 are bound to be cheaper by then.

Oddly enough, the battery test videos show the Note 9 quite superior to the P20. Not sure what is better because I don't buy off brand phones so I have no experience with them.

Lol, P20 Pro's camera is not better. It just has more lenses. If you DO like taking black and white pictures, go for Huawei. If you like functionality, SAME CAMERA PERFORMANCE, S-pen and overall performance, go for samsung. I used to have Iphone 8+, now i own Note 9. I dont feel any different in terms of performance.

I just sold my p20 pro that I've had for two months, my note 9 is coming tomorrow so I can't compare the two (I did have the note 8 and s9 for a while though) but I can tell you some things about the p20.
The camera has been advertised extremely well, and it is great in low light BUT in real world point and shoot situations it's trash in my opinion. I haven't taken one photo on it that I like, all the photos I have taken on auto are over processed and over sharpened. Any Samsung phone I've ever used has always had a fantastic point and shoot camera.
The EMUI no matter what anyone tells you is clunky and just not enjoyable to use. I feel like the new and improved Samsung experience UI is really smooth and easy to use in comparison. I'm aware you can use launchers and stuff but I prefer to keep the stock launcher.
Although the p20 is advertised as having a 4000mah battery I haven't had a great experience with it. This differs from person to person and usage but I really can't get a full day out of it.
I know it might seem like I'm bashing the phone I have enjoyed some aspects of it, but my note 9 is coming tomorrow and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Thanks a lot guys for your really apprecied feedback!
I read your opinion and I thin, again, that my new smartphone will. Be again a note!
Sure, I think the difference respect the note 8 will be not so much, but as I explained, in September expire the relationship with my carrier and I must change the smartphone, and buy a note 8 is not convenient.
Actually in italy the street price of the p20 pro is 700 euroin European version, online.. The Italian versione is slightly expensive, approx 800 euros..
The note 9 will sold 1029 euro, so the difference is 250/350euro,but I can subscribe, is a newest in italy, a subscription with Samsung. I can pay monthly the device for 24 months, with 99 euro of first payment, and obtain a note 9.afyerthis period, I can pay approx 300 euros and the device will be mine, otherwise, I can replace it with a new one..
At the end, I will pay more than 1029 euros but for 24 yeast I have a protection against damage included, and is not a bad things..
P20 pro has not this option, in italy is sold or as a usual with carrier or I must pay it 100%.
About ghe performance...i really stress my smartphone.. I use it for job, I take note during some. Meeting, I use it via chrome cast to watch movies by Netflix or similar, and the integrated dex station function can be a good features (but also the p20 has. This option)
I use also it with camera, because I have 2 children and is always a good. Thing have in my hand a good camere to capture the nice moment of the day.. And this is a good point.. I was sure that the people like the p20 pro camera. Much more than the other. Camera phone, but your real feedback explain a different situation.. I'm not a professional camera man, I need a best camera with automatic setting for this moment, and if you are agree that also the note 9 can be better, this is another good point for note 9.
Finally... The UI powered by Samsung is without secrets for me after a lot of years.. Also, last but not least, when I configure the new device automatically I found saved wifi Hotspot, password and other small information that help me during my Business, and I reduce the stress to replace a new device
Th AK a lot again guys for your explanation.
Ot: somebody with the note 9 can give me a feedback about dex application, in particular for Netflix and autocad application? I think can be 2 real interesting application respect surfing on internet or other solutions

In what ways if you don't mind me asking? I got my note 9 this morning and I am so happy I don't have to use the p20 pro anymore!

@Popmonty battery capacity (sot +40%) and flat screen at start (this rounded screen are totaly pointless for me, expecially on a note series where 10% on screen is useless with pen)! Than, mate 10 pro had stereo sound (note 8 not), much faster (and better positioned) fingerprint, 128gb etc.
On a note 8 side was wireless charging and 3.5mm.
Now in note 9 a lot of things are improved; stereo sound (but still mono for notification except whatsupp app), 128gb base memory, bigger screen and 4000mAh...but who knows what new mate will bring near new kirin 980 and wireless charging. I would wait 2 more months if there is possibility...if nothing, note 9 will be much cheaper in 2 months

P20 pro still uses bluetooth 4.2 while others started with 5.0 like last year? It doesn't matter if I need it or not. For a flagship price it needs to provide flagship specs. Huawei has been known for this kind of **** behind the scene. Who knows what else has been cheaped out on.

Regarding the mate 20 pro... It was also for me a good option.. But I need to finalize the order max in the first week of October because I have to finalize the contract signed with phone operator.. I must return the note 8 otherwise I have to pay another year.. But the cost is similar to buy another one new phone so I will return it.
For this reason I think is not an option for me wait the new mate 20 pro.
Regarding the performance of p20... There are 2 important thing that are not installed in this device.. The 3.5 jack and And the wireless charging... For my personal use the first one is good because in the night in some case I use wired earphone too watch some movies in my bed when my wife sleep.. Are comfortable and I don't want rememberto charge a Bluetooth earphone.. I have the gear icon x of Samsung and I use this only for fitness... And a lot of case are discharge.
The wireless charge instead is good because I have in my office the wireless stand and is confortante charge my mobile while I'm in the office..
Sincerely, I don't know why in the p20 pro there is not at least this option... In fact I read will be integrated with the new mate 20

I would definitely recommend for you to wait and see what the Mate 20 Pro will offer. I am expecting a fairly good phone from Huawei. They have made a few videos targeting the Note 9 so I'm guessed they have something up their sleeves. Also it will have a bigger battery than the Note 9 and also a more efficient SOC being the new Kirin 980 developed on a new 7mn architecture

Only (huge) problem from my POV is that Huawei does not allow unlocking of Bootloaders anymore - so cannot Root or install custom ROMs on Huawei devices - I hope this changes soon.
This factor alone tips it towards the Note 9 for me. Now patiently waiting for a decent price drop - hopefully by November/ holiday period.

I suggest, with respect, you don't make any purchase based on reviews or forum posts for anything you purchase from mobiles to socks. We all differ and it comes down to what your needs are rather than what you want or others suggest.

Ciao Ryland
Sure, I don't purchase note 9nkr hauwei depending of. The forum. Review, I already found this 2 device after personal. Consideration, also I have already the galaxy note 8, so I know the device.
Because are 2 really interesting phone, and because I use for job and personal use the camera, I just ask the opinion of the other person of the forum, because for example test the camera is impossible and I can only as ask a feedback from somebody that already tried both.
For this reason after some consideration read here in this thread I take the decision to buy the note 9 and I wrote this comment... Because some users told me a feedback regarding a feature that I can't test myself.. Sure I must believe to this person.. But I think also this is the spirit of the forums, no?

huawei's software is trash (and with that locked bootloader stuff u cant even flash custom roms lol), that alone is enough for me to not buy a huawei phone

Rooting is a waste of time in this day and age. If you need to root a phone you are a million miles from a typical user.
The P20 pro is not as good as the Note 9 I would agree, but the software is fine, as is the Note software.
If you need to root then get a Nexus 5 or something.
With regards to the rest of this thread, for me the pros and cons are:
Note : Faster, Slightly better screen, Headphone Jack
P20 Pro : Better/ Louder sounding speakers, Much better camera in ALL scenarios barring indoor low light. Less noise, better zoom, better overall quality, much better low light.
I have both phones right now, and honestly if the P20 pro had better video recording and was a little less laggy on graphics intensive stuff, I would use it as my main phone. BUT the note 9 is a more polished phone and is better in almost all ways barring speakers and photos.

im not talking about rooting at all, im just talking about ROM's in general. Huawei's stock rom is trash, while the samsung one has become very good over the years.

What will your next phone be ?

Hello guys ,
So i was currently thinking of upgrading my oneplus 3
But i couldn't settle on a certain phone , the only 2 phones in my mind would be the oneplus 7 pro and Samsung galaxy s10 plus since both cost the same where i live , let me know what you think guys

I am going to wait for the Pixel 4 and then make a decision..
I would choose the 7 Pro over the S10 Plus for its VFM and screen!

The s10's price is diving so you may be able to pick up a bargain. Depends on your criteria.

Currently using the 3T and will be upgrading to the s10 plus. I'm just waiting for the price of the s10 plus to dip a bit further down. Personally I think the s10 plus is more equipped with features and well rounded.

Ordered the Oneplus 7 pro (Almond colour) 8/256, will arrive tomorrow. Very excited.
But will still keep my OP3 with me for as long as it lives.

The S10 plus is a really great phone but i keep getting pulled away due to the below points
1. Touch wiz and the history of updates
2. Developer community always better on one plus devices
3. The notchless screen on the oneplus 7 pro makes it look much appealing the s10 plus screen .

Congrats , let us know what you think when you receive it

I get your point. Samsung is refining oneui to bring it closer to stock android and is increasing update supports for it's flagships, according to latest reports and that's good enough for me.
Oneplus phones surely has more community support, but nowadays phones with stock roms has got so much better that the idea of installing custom roms is becoming less tempting.
The 7 Pro may look more appealing because of it's all screen design, but I still have some reservations about the pop up camera with regards to how long it will remain functional as a moving part.
I'm not trying to convince you as to why the s10 plus is a better phone then the 7 Pro because both phones are great in their own way, I'm just sharing my personal reason why I'm going to get the s10 plus as my next phone.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Personally I'm keeping my op3 as long as it's working and not struggling with doing anything. However of it were to die tomorrow I'd be looking at he op7 pro, the Xiaomi black shark 2, or the oppo Reno 10x zoom

Take a look at Xiaomi Mi 9

Zenfone 6 since it will officially receive lineage os. I don't like the size of the phone and just 18W charging but it has the greatest battery life.
If the s10e becomes cheaper and receives lineage os, I'll gladly opt for it.

Wait for the Pixel 4

The pixel devices are always highly priced

I'm looking for a mate 20 pro, I'm waiting for huawei/trump fight to end (I don't want to buy a phone that is not going to have android Q).
Also I'm a little bit annoyed to not be able to unlock bootloader.
But mate 20 pro is what I want, great camera and battery

You have the budget for the S10, so I don't see why you can't buy the Pixel
Right now in India, the smaller pixel 3 is priced lower than the s10. I don't know how much it is in your country.
Pretty sure the smaller pixel 4 variant will be around the same price range.

I sure as hell won't buy a device with a notch and no headphone jack. I am at minority here but those are my requirements for now.
Redmi K20 Pro and Zenfone 6Z are top contenders for my money (I don't want to go back to IPS LCD but might have to). OnePlus phones are naturally out because they decided to "follow trend" and removed headphone jack. OP3 is working fine for my usage and i don't need the best camera, an average camera will do for me so no appeal of Pixel 4 to me at all. So for now, yeah, not many options, K20 pro is choice 1, zenfone 6z being 2nd.

I'm thinking about OP6 as it's the last OP with headphone Jack and notification LED. I know the notch isn't great but for me, small notch + OLED > LCD.

OP7, not the pro version because I definitely do not want a phone with moving parts. No Samsung, I have nothing with the brand...
But as others said before, will keep using my OP3T as long as possible. Fast, two days of battery life, great camera and straight forward; still did not find a good reason for making a switch. ..

I'd buy an iPhone, currently using oneplus 3, lasted for 2years. Still snappy with good battery backup.

Which phone should I buy?

Hello everyone
Which phone should I buy?
1. S10 plus
2. Note9
3. P30 pro
4. Mate 20x
5. LG G8
6. LG V50
7. Any other
Plz reply with Which and Why?
Thanking in advance.

OnePlus 7 Pro
- Triple Camera
- 90hz QHD+ Curved AMOLED Screen
- Android 10 (Fast Updates)
- OxygenOS
- WARP Charging
- Snapdragon 855
- 8/12GB RAM
- 128GB/256GB Storage
- UFS 3.0 Storage

One Plus 7T Pro (overall its the best)
Mostly same as the 7 Pro but has Snapdragon 855+ (4% faster chip), 20% faster charging and 85mAh bigger battery.
it ain't much difference but it's better then regular one. Also if price ain't the issue buy McLaren Edition with 12gb of ram.
So 90Hz QHD+ AMOLED display, fast storage, 256GB storage, Triple Cameras, WARP Charging, no Bloatware and fast updates.
BUT if you take alot of pics and videos take P30 pro. It's cameras are way ahead of OnePlus. But it won't be supported for future Android updates.
As for Samsung S10 it's has the best display I've seen so far, cameras are also good. Runs well also. Battery is good (for my use) and has good sounding speakers. The only downside Samsung stock apps. I use Google apps for everything and having double of everything is annoying. Also Bixby SUCKS!!!

No s10+...kuz im using one

S10 Plus / Note9 because they are great phones and Samsung Dex is crazy great.

1. S10 plus = stereo sound ,4k 60FPS 960FPS slowmotion, but the exynos version getting hot fast
3. P30 pro = no 4K 60 @fps slow real slow motion is max at 240frames ) amazing night shots
4. Mate 20x (better telephoto lens if you need this)
7. Any other = like other said here op7 pro (no kind any notch ) 90hz etc UFS 3 storge ..
dont know \ didnt read enough about the other devices

I have the U.S. variant of the S10 plus and the battery life is crazy good.

I have US s10+ and I do not have one complaint. I actually don't mind Samsung's apps and almost have zero google apps (Just google news and maps). Screen is amazing, battery is great, phone is speedy and I have really grown to love oneui over stock android os. Oneui can do so much more. The only thing I want is a 90hz display (hoping the s11 will have it)

Haha you're correct I lie. But swear that's it lol

Just go for a s10 plus, it's the most complete smartphone from all of them.

LOL, ask in the Pixel, Huawei, and LG forums and you'll probably get different answers.

its nice to see someone on here with a sense of humor!
back to the topic tho, i honestly cant suggest anything right now. The hype of the S9 and the polar reviews of it makes it really hard to recommend anything with any real confidence unless you have had hands on real life experience and even then. Ya know what i mean? I like my S9, but it wasnt the extraordinary leap that it was made out to be. That being said, i came from the A8 which is a huge underdog IMHO. The front facing camera on the A8 is vastly superior to the S9. No, not a selfie person, i just have some extended family in Romania and the video quality on their end was mentioned several times when i switched to the S9.
The major releases of phones come out early in the year, so this is a good time of year to hunt for a model half way thru its first year and then the hunt for the deal is on. So its a hard call to make. Get a killer deal on an aging phone or wait to be a guinea pig in the spring.

right??? im assuming that in the LG forum theyll tell you that the iphone is the best device, especially if all theyve owned are LGs LOLOLOL kiiding!!

It's almost better to wait until a phone has been out for a year, then read the reviews and decide. Of course, you're then a year behind the latest and greatest.

Ok this is the comparison between both smartphone , it may not contain all features offered by both brands like truetone or other gaming tools like armory crate...
In my opinion Rog phone 2 is the better buy and probably the best buy of 2019/2020 ( of course we will see rog phone 3), because it offer more features and
it has the best value for money. there is no perfect phone in the world. the perfect phone is based to human needs. But this this a battle between 2 phone with same price. iphone se 2 is overpriced and it has the body of iphone 8 with a13 and better camera, nothing more...
I don't need to go swim with it, charge slowly with wireless charger or make photographer photos and videos ( gcam already make excellent videos and photos).
Make your choice and let me know whitch is better in 2020!

Does anybody buy the 8gb version of the rog2? Your comparison could be summed up as iPhone versus Android and that's what 99% of the people will make their decision based on.

depends on what you need...
if its for gaming then ROGPHONE 2.if not the iPhone SE 2020.

at first i bought the 8/128 WW version. then after 1 month i upgraded to the 12/512 WW version.not much of a difference in speed if you ask me,but the 128GB ROM worries me haha.

Its actually funny how these are similarly priced. After using ROG 2 for almost 3 months, even if someone offers me a damn iPhone SE for free, I'd throw it away without even looking at it. The superiority of ROG 2 is just unimaginably higher, and I don't even game.

Think it all ultimately comes down to Android Vs iOS. No Android user will get Apple stuff and vice versa. And also if you want iPhone SE for status, it actually appears the exact opposite. iPhone SE just seems cheap.

The iPhone SE 2020 is the iPhone 8 done over again. It has the exact same hardware and the only change is the A13 processor and that's why the phone is faster and the camera is a bit better. No innovation at all.
The ROG phone II is better than the SE 2020 in my opinion. (Because it has 120hz refresh rate)

Who really needs more than 8gb of Ram? But you get more storage if you really need it
(128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 12GB RAM, 512GB 12GB RAM, 1TB 12GB RAM)

Wtf is this. What comparison is that?
Pls, surrender xD

Except in camera, the Rog P2 is even superior than iPhone 11 Pro Max. I would love to know when this comparison started to have sense. In things like, as always, 5y iPhone (app)dates? IP rating? ****ty wireless charging? Cmon guys... it's all done here.

Yes, against the 11 Pro Max.... My ROGPHONE 2 only sucks at the camera department... The rest is pure crazy. Thats why im still using it instead of moving to the S20 Ultra.

True. Funny enough, I feel this phone is much better than S20 Ultra. Battery life is almost double of it. People report around 8 to 9 hours SOT on S20 Ultra because even if you set the resolution to 1080p, there's still going to be battery drain equivalent to 1440p resolution. My ROG 2 on Android 9 gets like 18 to 20 SOT easily. And then there's Air Triggers, no punch hole, better optimised stock UI, better speakers, and much better vibration motor. Best phone till date easily. Only ROG 3 will beat this, and then ROG 4 lol.

Thank you for reminding me no punch hole. Playing CODM or PUBG on my Note 10+ is such a horror. Put a key near the punch hole and yeah fml. Instant loser dinner lmao.
As for price. In Indonesia the ROGPHONE 12/512 costs around USD$900. The S20 Ultra 12/128 costs around USD$1100. And the 11 Pro Max 512GB costs around USD$1600.
If people here really knew the price of the ROGPHONE 2 here, they would go bonkers. As why would 1 pay so much for a "****ty" brand.
People in Indonesia even know more about Oppo and Vivo compared to Asus, because Asus does very little advertising in Indonesia.
And Asus Indonesia is well known for being 1 of the worse phone seller. ****ty aftersales and they always take 3-6 months to get the phone into Indonesia. Released September 2019,they got it in on January 2020(8/128) and February 2020(12/512). Same goes for the ROGPHONE 1... Zenfone 6...

Yeah and it's also much better watching videos without any obstruction on the screen. And also not only in Indonesia, but ASUS does poor marketing throughout the world. All of their phones deserve much better recognition, including the Zenfone high tier series. They're much better than the other brands. They actually deliver what the people need.
