Asus is delaying the release on purpose so that people who can’t wait will be forced to buy Zenfone 3 5.2 and 5.5 instead.
I want this phone. I have the zenfone 2 laser 5.5 before and i wasn’t disappointed although the battery drains fast. I’ve asked Asus Phil tech support, they said it MAY arrive on october or last week of september. 🙁
