Still no HDR10 update here. Eu version and yet in 1.10. Bad for HTC. First delays sending phone, now no HDR update, wondering why HTC is loosing money with his mobile division.
No HDR10 update here in China yet.
Chinese version of the phone obviously.

it would be nice to get the update for the December security patch at the very least. we still have a few hours to go before December ends. OP did this with Nougat and Xiaomi just updated the Mi A1. HTC might surprise us, just with the phone deliveries.

Hehe still having hope. One reason for not buying HTC was this, no updates. Finally I bought it because I think it's one of the best phones this year.
But a phone with no support is not good, like you said still in October security patch. That's not good for a new phone. That's one reason to change this phone. A powerful one.
I knew this would happen. Im glad that I have cancelled the preorder and it seems that I wount be re-ordering. Sadly, sooner or later, you will all realize, that this is just a failed Pixel 2 project and HTC just wanted to get some money back and threw this to the market. There wount be any HDR10 support update (at least a working one) and certainly there wount be any brightness boost to the most dim display ever put to a flagship. Its really sad Im looking forward to buy something useable in April 2018.

I hope you were wrong. Actual pixel 2 XL is a failed pixel with a lot of screen issues like burning screen or blue screen, and so many other problems like sound recording video and well known others.
I think that HTC will update their phones but not as fast as they say or as good as they promised. Anyways I probably will change this phone in 2018.

That's a fact. But with or without hdr.. This thing is a amazing beast.
So true about that display I compared it to a V30 in store and theyre world's apart!
Phone is boss though all-round, I'm just worried about after sales support at the minute. If this phone runs into issues after the next 5 days (return window) then I'm into the waiting list of 3 months + without a phone, which would leave me kicking myself.
Currently on October patch too - UK. That's shocking. And who's to say we're even going to get one?
In two minds wether to return this and buy a supported device such as a Pixel 2 XL and sacrifice screen, or hold on to this beast and cross my fingers nothing goes wrong with it.

I'm worried about support of this phone too. Still in October patch and we are in 2018 now. I took this one instead pixel 2 XL mostly because screen issues of the pixel. Now I'm regretting it.
The camera is good but not as good as expected. No portrait mode or anything similar, also photos are a bit underexposed, a bit dissapointed with camera and max brightness.
So I'm waiting the HDR10 update to see if this can fix something with this phone, otherwise I will sell this and I will take a pixel.

My advice. Hold on to this beast! Updates will follow. Probably after the completion of the global U11 OREO update. HTC is a little busy these days. Service should not be a problem. When having problems contact htc directly.
The phone is not yet available in all Europe, let's wait and see what HTC will do. So far i'm enjoying it. I don't care about the HDR10 update, but they need to update the security patch, and minors tweaks on the camera.

I think camera need a big update. It's just correct but not the camera it is supposed to be. I will say that u11 normal has better camera than this, it has lot of noise in low light and low detail in general. Video it's just OK, but not awesome. If they manage to upgrade the camera can be one of the top 3, it has potential to it.
I've compared the cameras of the U11 plus with the U11. And yes you are right. I did see some difference between them. Hardware is the same so I believe they will fix it with the first update. But... The frontcam of the U11 plus is better.
Still waiting for a update HTC. No hdr10 no security patch, still in October.
You're doing it wrong HTC. Thinking about a change to mate 10 pro.

I have the Mate 10 Pro
You will gain screen brightness, better battery and more software features
You will lose smoothness, better camera, better audio, less bugs

On their website, they have a give away for the Zenfone 6 to come to North America in 47 days.
B&H has it on their website. If you enter your email address they notify you when it's in stock. I'm getting impatient though. I think ASUS really needs release their phones a lot sooner after they unveil them. If something more appealing comes out between now and then I may get that instead.
He'll, if the S10+ drops in price enough between now and then I may just get that (used)

Just noticed that BH Photo site bumped their pre-order start date from June 15th to July 1st...
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...s855_6g64g_bk_zenfone_6_zs630xl_dual_sim.html
With the sweepstakes ending later this month, there could possibly be a new model with the USA/North American release. I hope so, at least.
Why would Asus have it available to the USA via importer websites but not officially? Maybe so far its taking a while to get through FCC certifications...
I would buy the international version, but I want to be sure all of the bands in the USA are available on the phone. I use AT&T and want to be sure I get full coverage. From what I've read, Gearbest mainly sells the international/Europe version and this one is spotty with the USA bands available. Hence, I wait for the USA release. But I'm with all ya'll . . . If they don't hurry up another phone may grab my attention and they lose that sale.
BHPhoto now have July 15 for the start of pre-orders... Still no price or ship date.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone following the saga of trying to buy one of these in the UK.
Preorders went up late may with a mid June shipping date suggested by customer support. Then preorders were closed, but no phones arrived. Delivery date is now suggested as end July with the phones hidden on the Asus UK store.
I still really want my zenfone,, but this is as botched a launch as I've ever seen.
Still waiting in the US
I called Asus and they said "middle of July" but I take that with a grain of salt.
The botched launch plus reports of bad call quality/volume (has to do with the flip cam I think) are making me look for another phone.
I like big battery phones, there are others to chose from (though not with an 855).

B&H posted a July 15th preorder date for the U.S. version then immediately took it down over the weekend that's the latest I've seen. We will have to see what happens in a few weeks I'm tired of waiting too
Sent from my ASUS_Z01RD using Tapatalk
This is my first time considering a Pixel device so that comes with a lack of knowledge. I was curious about Pixel device release history and whether or not we have seen prices drop on existing devices when a new Pixel is released. Basically I want to know whether waiting a few weeks is worth it or should I give it a shot now? I'm certain the 3a is the phone for me, the question is just when.

Well I'm just going to go for the pixel 3A because it seems like a pretty good phone for the price. Also LTE band compatibility is all there so I'm all right with the device. I've heard multiple times that it will support AT&t v o l t e and wifi calling.

Thanks so much for the promo code. My new Pixel should arrive in a couple days. Very much appreciated.
Google has been acting like Apple since Pixel 1, A greedy company that puts the minimum specs in their flagships and selling them at the highest possible price.
Pixel 4 and 4 XL are no exception, I can tell that based on the shameful looking and shameful leaked specs. Google as a smartphone maker does not listen to their loyal audience, unlike others.
Sorry but I pre-ordered immediately after they said visit the Google Store. [emoji1]

I haven't used AOD or a light notification in a very long time. I just checked my phone way too often. LOL
I'm actually looking forward to a properly working AOD. Would prefer an LED, but considering OP doesn't offer either, it's a step up either way, for me. Can't get rid of this POS OP6T fast enough. Is the hardware in the 6T in some ways better than the P4, sure. But the software is atrocious. That's where I feel google will shine.
As I agree that Google is becoming Apple like, they still put out a great phone at a much lower price than Apple.
Corporations are greed personified. Anyone who thinks otherwise should immediately sell their house and send the money to me. I promise I'll use it to fight corporate greed. A small percentage may go towards wine, questionable women, and gambling. The rest I'll waste but don't worry about that, just send the money and I promise I'll use it every bit as responsibly as the CEO of corporation X would spend it.
I invite you to stop telling me what to think
The reality is that people have unknowingly boycotted all of the Pixel devices until the Pixel 3a series (which has the highest sales numbers of any of the Pixel phones). It still didn't stop Google from pushing out new phones each year.
If anything, the Pixel 4 series will be the most successful flagship series phone Google has ever produced. That's because it is the first phone to be available on every major US carrier.
The OnePlus series was a natural boycott...
Google spokesperson confirms that Pixel 4 and 4XL won't be landing on our shores.
After spending 2 tearsbwith a Pixel XL, I was really looking forward to upgrading to the 4XL. Alas!!
Code:
“We determine availability based on a variety of factors, including local trends, and product features. We decided not to make Pixel 4 available in India. We look forward to bringing future Pixel devices to India.”
This is pretty disappointing as some users still want to buy pixel phone in India I hope Google gets approval from govt. for launching these phones in India. I think i would wait for sometime if some positive news comes in future otherwise I will try if I can buy from US and get it shipped to India.

When I heard that there were 4 variants that went through the FCC, I thought for sure 2 of them were the pixels without soli, so India could get it. That's strange.

Man, Google is getting flamed for this soooo bad and it's all completely unnecessary. Articles that are saying Google won't be bringing the pixel 4 to India. That's the wrong terminology. It's got nothing to do with they won't, they can't. India won't let them. So instead of yelling at Google, go yell at your own damn government.
