viano, 10 Jul 2019The big issue seems to be at you.
Can t you check reviews and user opinions?
Some noisy ... moreThere is in fact a problem, even if you choose to ignore it. Many people are reporting this issue.
Until now, from the feedback that I gathered, this problem seems to be affecting only the Indian variant of the phone which has VoLTE enabled for the calls. The european users that gave feedback are reporting good call quality but without VoLTE support.
Different things could be happening here:
1-the different variants could be using different speaker hardware integrated in the FlipCam, explaining the difference in audio quality;
2-VoLTE is capable of reproducing a wider range of sound frequencies which, in theory, greatly improves the call quality (such as VoiceHD codec over some 3G operators) but in practice could be causing the distortion if the speaker is unable to handle them, especially the lower tones which causes more vibrations;
3-software/implementation bugs. Maybe some incompatibility issues with some operators are happening;
4-All of the above :P
In conclusion, if the speaker hardware is the same for all phone variants, and the problem becomes apparent by using VoLTE, this issue can eventually spread to other countries when Asus adds VoLTE support for more carriers.
This is truly an amazing phone, but I prefer to wait a bit longer to see how this plays before spending my hard-earned money.

There are major issues with calling. Your voice is audible to the other person but the other person's voice is not audible to you. One can only hear noise. FLipkart- Indian retailer is not accepting returns. THis is unacceptable Asus India! I

troy5890, 09 Jul 2019I don't know man, he has a right to complain as a consumer like everyone else in the market. T... more... man it is a common state, even if a product is very popular.
Global versions of Xiaomi/ Redmi phones came allways months later
and never came US versions, despite Xiaomi is a much bigger player on phone-market.
It takes months to prepare production ...
and who complains, knows nothing about supply-chain & Co. for sure.
People are very impatient nowadays.

Can anyone confirm that this call issue with very distorted sound (because of the speaker being integrated inside the FlipCam) is only affecting the Indian variant? Or has someone with a variant for Europe, for example, experienced the same problem?
If it also affects the European version, I would be very surprised, as even GSMarena does not mention anything about this HUGE issue. Every phone should be able to handle calls... Otherwise it is just a small tablet... :(
If this is, in fact, a global issue (affecting all variants), it is incredible how a big issue like this passes the early stages of quality control and reaches the massive production stage!!!

This has always been Asus's problem when it comes to releasing new models of their smartphone, which in turn will make them lose money and people if you put out an attractive product like this.

and get it among first, when launched in US.
The phone is very popular everywhere, can be bought mostly through pre-orders in Europe as well. Pre-orders are always sold out!
Only few smaller - not very wellknown - ASUS retailers have one version in stock left.
Thats it, if phone popular and price is good.

Unable to make calls with this phone. The microphone and earpiece do not work. After reading the comments this is the first thing I checked upon purchase and unfortunately the reviews are true. Calling doesn't work on this device. To make matters worse, I took it to service center and they are falsely blaming me for physically damaging the phone. It's funny because I took it to the center within 24 hours of unboxing the phone. I am going to register a formal complaint with the company for 1. manufacturing a defective product and 2. then trying to cover up.

Not all Asia country can get the phone too.
This is the fate of smaller smartphone brand that try to compete with the market, but don't have the capacity to supply it.

Service center is one of the way.
Not trying to hide the issue, but it is important to do so.

One cannot make calls with this device purchased in India/Asia region. This is not a calling device. It's a great camera (only daylight), a decent gaming device and a reasonable screen with good battery - overall a great tablet device, which cannot make calls. There are no plans shared by Asus to fix the calling issue in upcoming updates. Please be mindful before purchasing.

Pros and cons and all, but HOLY SH*T this was announced as "released in May" , and it's STILL not on the US store in July?!?!?!?!
It's like they only want PR and don't want actual money?!?!?!
And no, I'm not going to import it from TW or EU for a +$200 premium.

Can't even buy this phone anywhere in the USA. Not available on Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, BhPhotoVideo, Ebay, etc. Banggood and GearBest have the Asian market version for a huge markup with limited band support in the US...

The call quality is pathetic. The voice that u hear is shrill yet low and it's very difficult to hear. The main purpose of a phone is gone with that. If anybody knows or has been in touch with Asus about this and if they have confirmed of a software upgrade to improve upon this then then u can consider buying this phone else u will be really disappointed . Let me know if anyone knows how to improve it else it's a waste.
