I'm certainly no expert on the subject but I believe it's based on the Ardunio Platform with a USB Shield that supports ADK2.0. Looking at the google developers site it says they've released the specs If you want to create one yourself
http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/adk2.html
Hope that Helps
Thanks but its not for official sale? That i can njst buy it in original design?

Google said:
A limited number of these kits were produced and distributed at the Google I/O 2012 developer conference. If you did not receive one of these kits, fear not! The specifications and design files for the hardware were also released for use by manufacturers and hobbyists. You should expect to see kits with similar features available for purchase, or you can build one yourself!

I'd say no not officially, Ebay would probably be your best bet If you really MUST have the official google one but I'd doubt it's something that people are going to part with easily.

After a year of hard work, we've successfully re-created the ADK 2012 boards from the Google I/O conference this past year. Take a look at our Kickstarter campaign and let me know what you guys think.
xda is preventing me from posting external links until I make 10 posts. I'll go make 10 posts and return. In the meantime, check my profile. The link is in my homepage.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can browse the Marketplace section of this forum. There are many devices for sale.
Also you can check eBay, and if you want to do business locally then Craigslist is an option.

Swappa.com is a good website to purchase used phones. It is safer to buy on there than ebay, because the swappa staff actively works to prevent scams. As for prices, I use the price on Amazon as the market price. I think it's more official than ebay.
As for looking in the xda marketplace, you gotta have at least 50 posts and be a member for a year to access it.
AVForums is quite good. Normally, it's cheaper than eBay and it's similar to the marketplace here but new members can access it.
Thank you and
But what do you think that there is a one source which gives you the all price information across the web?
I think there are a few but it is often better to search websites individually. The search engines normally miss sales and you will find a cheaper price by searching the main sites listed above. Apart from the ones above, you could use Gumtree.com...

Thanks man.
I'm not going to be so bold as to try to set this up myself. I know it's been done for several other things like the moto x bootloader. Anyway, I'm just asking if we want to get a bounty going for getting true moto x style touchless control working on the nexus 5. According to the Jerry on the Android Central Podcast, the hardware is there it's just that Google chose to use it for other things. What say you developers!!! I'll donate!!!
Though I'm not setting up an actual account (not sure how), I will track the pledges. PM me if I get too far behind.
Pledges: ($100 Total)
poke_n_pda: $20
PMentior: $10
Beachbum2049: $10
thefsfempire: $20
Techno79: $20
sarshadd: $20
I'd pledge a donation/bounty for this too.
Would love to see this feature on Nexus5
Will definitely chip in a bit
I'd chip in!
If everyone lists ammounts (unofficial till we get something set up) I'll try to keep the main post updated with names and ammounts.

Really disappointed Google didn't even give us the option. Does anyone know if the software required for this to work is something Motorola created specifically for their device(s)?
To add a little extra info, Qualcomm even demo voice activation on their Snapdragon 800 page: http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800 (see the video "Technology that listens to you").
I'm in for $20

Also, now that this has evolved a bit, can a mod remove the "?" from the title and move this to a more appropriate forum?

There is a small discussion on what it would take to make it work, and it is no small task. Even for a big company.

Qualcomm here confirms that tech is only available to OEMs. Samsung is the only one who implemented it so far. The rest is probably going to keep it under the wraps and release entirely new phone which is going to be OEM-ized Nexus (LG G3?) in the new "chassis" and they'll charge your arm and a leg for this "brand new, revolutionary tech".
I think I've seen this business model somewhere before.

I emailed the seller, its an MTCD unit.
Hi,
For such an high price is not really interesting at all for my Audi car because of this:
1- The Price is: $489.00 Ex Tax: $489.00 (expensive!)
2- DvD Optional (for such price?)
3- Steering Wheel Control (SWC = CanBus) Optional.. What?.. Really?

I think the price was revised. Now at $219 @ early bird price
Another rebadged px5 MTCD with.the same quirks. What is the value proposition? Return policy?

Any place to get the OEM Audio Adapter HD?
The adapter that plugs on to the back of the phone.
Can't seem to find one anywhere. I want to have all Essential made products.
I'm on the same boat
Perhaps Essential produced a very limited supply; try asking them via email or Telegram.
Please report back. I'm also interested in knowing the quality of their follow up support...

Sorry just saw this. I sent a tweet just now and will update you on what they say.
I messaged customer support about this issue two days ago. Apparently the adapter was a limited product run and they have no intention on releasing more. The rep suggested that I look for them second-hand. Reply below:
"Thanks for your interest! The Audio Adapter HD was a limited-run products that is no longer being produced. Your best bet would be to find one second-hand, as we won't be releasing any additional units.
Have a great day!

Launch day today - has anyone found the pre order link for UK / Europe?
Their customer service opens shortly so I'll enquire there too and post here if/when I find it...
Edit: can anyone find any other EU pre order links?
https://m.alza.co.uk/asus-zenfone-7-pro-black-d6122969.htm?o=1
They have the white one available too
These aren't a UK based company though so may hold off and await one
So I emailed asus about this:
"Hi there,
It has been stated that the zenfone 7 pro is due to launch in Europe today (01/09/2020).
Could you tell me where I can find a link to buy the phone in the UK?"
I got this in response:
"Dear {redacted},
Thank you for contacting ASUS Support and for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately, ASUS and ROG mobile handsets are currently no longer on sale in the UK.
For any further enquiry, please contact the UK PR team at: [email protected]
If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. "
So I'm not sure what is going on...

Thanks for that.
I reckon I may order it from the Alza website, exciting times!
Just perhaps holding off just in case a better price/sooner available option becomes available... Though can't seem to find any at all!
I'm interested in this phone too and only link I have found is the Alza one. I'm tempted by it but currently on a OnePlus, I'm not sure how big the development community will be in comparison. I'd also like to see if anyone comes up with a decent GCam port first.
Keep us updated on whether you decide to order from Alza and your experience with that site.
will it come out from Wondamobile?

I'm in communications with Arnova8G2, a developer of Gcam and they said "I have the zenfone 6 and it is very good with gcam, zenfone 7 pro already works with gcam 7.3 and more" - so based of this response I'm definitely gonna pre order the Zenfone 7 Pro! I think gcam on it will make it the perfect phone!
As for development, I've reached out on zenfone 6 thread and HavocOS. Which is inspiring that there's some good roms available for that device at least. Though worst case scenario, I'd be happy with rooted stock and gravitybox - which is my current setup for Xperia 1 ii.
Alza says "expected 14th September" but that would also mean shipping from Prague to UK for me. Could be earlier therefore, or later. I'll be preordering soon I reckon.

Hmm unsure. So far I've only seen Alza sell it, nowhere else!
I've ended up just buying a mint condition oneplus 7t pro on ebay for around the same price of this phone. It does what I want and was easy to find.

To be fair, that's a very good shout.
I had the oneplus 7 Pro prior to my current xperia 1 ii. It was a great phone, active rom development, loved the pop up camera and the gcam port made it a pleasure to take snaps with. My only slight gripe with it was the curved screen, I just wasn't a fan of it, but all in all a great phone.
As much as I love the Xperia there's just something not quite right for me about it. I know it's camera possibilities is one of its main features, but I miss the gcam and apparently (after speaking with the dev) hard to get working.
I love the flip camera on the Zenfone and do miss a 90hz display, plus with a likely more active rom community I'm gonna sell this and basically switch at no/little cost.

Think I'm settled on getting the ZenFone now, it ticks all the boxes for me.
Also, as no official UK release, I presume it will be shipped with EU charger?
