I am still amazaed by the amount of attention to detail that has been given to this phone, making it the most perfect device i ever had:
- Perfect form factor, neither too big, neither too small, very light
- Most beautiful IPS display ever, zero flickering
- Excellent cameras with VERY fast shutter: i can make photos on the move and catch drops fall from the sky/splashes of water for instance
- Immersive audio, that i've never found on any other phone, both headphones and speakers
- FM radio
- Beautiful system (especially Android 9) full of gestures
- And i could continue the list...
Minuses:
- Relatively fragile, doesn't like drops or splashes of water
- The CPU will separate from the motherboard after 3 to 5 years of use, necessiting a reball, most people wrongfully just discard their devices (Zenfone 5 model isn't affected by this)
I recently tried a new mid-range model from Motorola and it was inferior to this Asus in almost every aspect.
What we can affirm is that ever since Asus or not any other manufacturer that i know of has given so much attention and time to polish a device to bring it to such level of perfecteness.
Thank you Asus and hope to see such models from you in the future i.e:
- Compact phones
- Flip phones
- High quality IPS phones with no PWM (yes, cause there's a lot of people who despise AMOLED and a huge market for that)

Where do you live and which exact model you have?

Stratospheric, 26 Oct 2023So teach me please how to look at PWM? 🤔 If you already know, PWM is only relevant to AMOLED or OLED screen because of how these type of screen works to display image, but not so relevant to IPS LCD screen as these screen don't really 'flicker'. Also, don't fall into these marketing gimmick saying higher PWM is better/comfort for eye, you might not able to see these flicker in general. The most important, keep a proper distance in between the screen and your eye, also keep the watching environment has enough ambient light so that your eye don't use higher energy or over focus on the screen is the best eye caring.

Stratospheric, 30 Jan 2024Anyone still using these rigs? Still using, soon passing 5 years of use. Screen intact even though I haven't had a screen protector for a year. Battery health is around 55-63% according to AccuBattery - time to replace soon. Stock softshell case is starting to deterioate and has gone from transparent to a dark yellow smoke color. Lots of small dents and scratches in the aluminium frame. Speakers don't sound as good as they once did. People can't really hear me if I use external speaker. Some glitches regarding notifications and camera(requires reset of camera app). Starting to feel slightly less responsiveness in apps and general ui but I don't use AI-boost and I probably should do a factory reset. I just looked inside the phone's box and found out there was a pair of in ears included. I'll dunk a new battery in her and see how far we can make it until I actually need to replace this fone, it's been a good 5 years so far!

I took it to a non authorized service centre (a friend) he disassembled the camera sensor and under that microscope there was obvious moisture present. Said it can happen to non IP rated phones. Had to replace the module.

Stratospheric, 28 Aug 2023We do really need another flagship with IPS. For current situation, no, because even cheaper mid range already using AMOLED.
AMOLED is always superior to IPS LCD in term of picture quality, and power efficiency.
AMOLED weaknesses are shorter overall life time and lesser durability.
The next generation screen technology is MicroLED, the advance version of AMOLED with longer life time.
All these are just of factor of cost/price, and quality.
