When will it come to India
I don't even think Europe is getting the Moto X from the US, but they announced they will bring similar devices to the international market.

Pretty sure that was the original plan. Only Tencent has the smaller versions.

Maybe, but they would have undoubtedly sold exponentially more devices if they'd release it globally...

Apparently, they are selling the 128 GB version on INDIA too. And it isn't the Tencent VErsion. It is the global version one, with the aero case, but with the 18W charger and no cooler.
Here's the proof.

If it actually comes with WW firmware natively, I'm planning on buying that one.

Don't really know. That's why I made a thread asking for info. Had no idea that one existed. Watch the review carefully. It's like a hybrid between the Tencent version and the global one.

Watched the video. Pretty interesting compared to the Tencent version.
Interested in finding out which LTE bands are available. Doesn't make sense from a manufacturing perspective to have all these different versions.

The Indian model is listed as having VoLTE and the only retailer I can find that has it listed is Flipkart. They list the model number as
ZS660KL-1A017IN
I'm guessing India is getting their own special version. IIRC Indian law requires a certain percentage of the phone to be manufactured in India.

If it has the global firmware I would want to get it. It's basically the Global version but with 128 GB ROM and 8 gb RAM.

I checked Kimovil yesterday regarding tencent version's supported bands for India, and it has all the necessary ones. Which leads me to believe that the phone will be very similar to the tencent version, with some better stuff like aero case and global firmware, but not that far off. For those without a ROG 2 yet it seems worth it to get it form there, but without expecting any additional bands IMO.

I didn't say it is.
I said that the tencent version already has all LTE Bands for India, so the "India version", however different it may be with the aero case, global firmware, etc., most likely won't have a change of LTE Bands. At least that's what I think.

Thanks for the link, I ordered one directly from Asus. Wasn't crazy about $70 in tax but at least I know I will have a valid warranty and I can return it if I need to without a hassle.
Is there anywhere to buy the phone yet? With shipping to the UK?
Hi,
Yes, I have seen EU Variants, CN Variants and Global Variants on several stores online.
The EU Variants are:
ZS661KS-1A002EU / Snapdragon 865 / 8GB/256GB
ZS661KS-6A020EU / Snapdragon 865+ / 12GB/512GB
ZS661KS-6A021EU / Snapdragon 865+ / 16GB/512GB
Just google the desire variant and you will find several stores that are accepting preorders
As for the CN Variants, the official ASUS Store are selling them with the Global ROM here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001260528182.html
And the Global Variants, the official ASUS Store are selling them here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001274717450.html
Here are the release dates according to the ASUS Aliexpress store:
Snapdragon 865 8RAM256ROM will in stock around 10th August
Snapdragon 865 plus 12RAM512ROM will in stock around 5th September
Snapdragon 865 plus 16RAM512ROM will in stock around 5th September

What is your experience with Aliexpress? Is it a trust worthy place to buy phones for shipment to USA?

Being a frequent buyer from Aliexpress, I can tell you it is indeed trustworthy, the only downside is the shipping delivery time, that can take at least one month to deliver you product.
If for some reason your product isn't delivered or you want to return it, you can do it without a hassle.

That's is correct, is the "International Version" which means is the CN Variant with Global ROM.
Global won't be out until September.

This year's GAME TENCENT chinese model rog phone 3 has global rom and not chinese and also support google store and ota upgrades the only downside is that has less memory models and some 4g bands missing for some countries.
I think this year's GAME TENCENT rog phone 3 might be a far better value for money than the last year's chinese model.

Yes i know CN Variant with Global rom i am a ROG Phone 1 International user since 2018, so for me its best to upgrade to the International Variant with "Republic of Gamers" at the back.

How do you know they will get OTA? other than what is been claimed in ad poster?
Anyone own one and got OTA?
I've ordered mine from an Irish store called DID electrical. did.ie They ship to Ireland only for €5, so a parcel motel service might be needed.
They have two versions listed on the site:
ZS661KS-6A022 (Rog edition 12GB, 512GB, SD865+)
ZS661KS-1A010 (Strix Edition 8GB, 256GB SD865)
I've ordered the ZS661KS-6A022 and after ordering I got an update to say there would be a 10 day wait before its in store ready to ship. I ordered on the 27th of July, so will update if it takes longer or any change in this. The codes they have listed seem to be unique in that I cant find them mentioned online anywhere, but I think that might be a type o. They are a reputable store with a number of bricks and mortar stores in Ireland, so will see if its just a type o. I was in my local store today looking at new fridges and there was noting for the ROG Phone 3 in there, so I am guessing its an online order only.
I’ve noticed EBay have a lot of Chinese sellers now, just haven’t ordered yet.
There is also a none 865 plus version going around

aliexpress and alibaba.go for the verified sellers.
Just to update on the above, DID got back to me to say there is a delay due to covid-19 and they wont have it in till the first week in September. I am guessing these are the global model and are infact just not available till the 5th of September.
If I want to use this phone in the US on T-Mobile should I wait for the US release? Anyone know when that is?

Got my phone today on the 5th and it was the WW version... funny that. Sadly, after setting it up and playing a few games, I noticed that it was not the correct version of the phone that I had ordered. It was the 8GB/256GB version of the phone not the 12GB/512GB that I had ordered. So they have to talk to a manager tomorrow and I should be getting a replacement. That said how long will I have to wait for that. So back to using my ROG Phone for the time being.
If anyone ordered from DID in Ireland, check your specs. You might have gotten mine if you ordered the lower spec

Got a 12gb 512 version on Ebay. All tmo bands work
I've tried looking everywhere, but all I see are old articles about a month ago. I see other people already have it in the US, just wondering where they are getting it from? Is that the official US version because even on ASUS' website, it says it's not released yet.

according to Notebookcheck the north american version just cleared the FCC on Sept 22 and is approved for release.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Asus-ROG-Phone-3-will-be-released-to-North-America-soon-as-confirmed-by-the-FCC.495193.0.html
I contacted Asus support yesterday and inquired about the release date in the US. The rep told me September 2020, so I asked if that would be next week because there were only 5 days left in September. He replied saying he was only informed that Sept. 2020 was the release date and that its possible but no guarantees. Honestly who knows at this point but it does seem like it will be very soon.

Feels like it's been forever waiting for this one to release here. Hope it isn't much longer, ready to unload this 7T Pro McLaren 5G for something new.
Asus now has it available for purchase on the USA Asus store.
$1099 USD for the 16gb ram version
$999 USD for the 12gb version

Does anyone know if the axon 30 ultra will get android 13 global version?
Thanks.
So I contacted ZTE about it and they said they don't have any date set yet, so they didn't xomfirm or deny.
Hopefully it gets android 13.

I'm in the USA. For Android 12, the China variant got it MANY (like 6) months before it was pushed to my Global model. So watch for the China model to get the update first. Then keep your finger crossed.

I guess if the Chinese model hasn't received android 13, the global and EU versions won't receive it.
Im just confused as to why they didn't deny or confirm whether or not the 30 ultra would or would not get android 13.
They said I would just need to keep an eye on updates.
