Considering the cost of production of a near bezelless screen with a flip camera, why can't consumers accept a phone which would look like a ROG phone or Samsung galaxy S9. What's wrong with a phone if it has a head and a chin? What's wrong with a dog, if it has a tail? These motorized cameras either flip type or the pop up type definitely won't be durable in the long run.

Clean almost Stock Android OS(little to NO BLOATWARES) with only little but necessary Apps preinstalled.
Anonymous, 25 May 2019What are the pros and cons of this phone?Cons:
Debatable if one prefer OLED/LCD
No IP68 Water Resistant but obviously it should be splash proof/dust proof the least
Only 1 pair of camera that flips back and forth mechanically and only time will tell how long it will survive and no OIS
Pros
FM Radio(Yes I still use this)
3.5mm jack(with integrated HiRes DAC)
Dedicated SD SLOT(2 nano sims + SD SLOT)

Stereo Speakers
Huge RAM/Storage options 6gb/64-128gb or 8gb/256gb
Latest Flagships SoC SD855
No DRM/KNOX Crap like Samsung/Sony even ASUS Provided BootUnlock Options for Custom Firmware Developers
And lastly and most importantly its VERY ATTRACTIVE PRICE of $500-599.

What will happen if you put it on the table and then accidentally touch the selfie menu. Will it break the camera?
What are the pros and cons of this phone?
AlexandruDraghi, 10 May 2019It's pretty much impossible to fit all that in a 5 inch bezel-less design. A 5inch bezel-less ... moreFew years maybe smaller motherboards and components and better battery technology
The problem is the more efficient they make it they more slimmer they decide to make the phone which limits space
chrisggmu98, 24 May 2019There's no pleasing some people
6.4-inch display with a 92% screen to body ratio
Gorilla ... moreThe screen is not 92% of the body. Asus is only providing the diagonal ratio : the phone is 6"22 x 2"97 (i.e surface of 18.59 inch square) which makes a body diagonal of 6"92. And 6"92 * 92% = 6"4, the diagonal of the screen.
But if the screen respects the same ratio length / width as the body it is a 5"78 x 2"74 (15.86 inch square). Though 15.86 / 18.59 = 85.3%
As the phone as a chin it will actually have a slightly better screen to body ratio. For instance a 0"1 chin will end up with a 86.2% ratio.
I am a big fan of Asus and they can do very well, they are still behind on few things like none of their new phones are IP68, and I hope they fixed the Bluetooth issue they had in Zenfone 3.
It's an amazing phone!!!
Kiko, 23 May 2019Too bad, do not support 5G 😢There's no pleasing some people
6.4-inch display with a 92% screen to body ratio
Gorilla glass 6 at the front, 3 on the back
SD 855
UI that has been refreshed and looks VERY close to stock
Promised update to Q and beyond
5000 MAH Battery with Qualcomm quick charge
3.5 mm headphone jack ( even comes with headphones in the box with rubber buds)
hybrid sim slot ( so 2 nano sims along with space for MicroSD card)
According to MRWhosTheBoss in Antutu it scored almost 30k higher than his Samsung S10Plus using SD855 not Exynos
The speaker is comparable to OnePlus7 Pro
600 nits
LED Notifications
Sony IMX586 camera (which for stock camera, the photos and videos looking amazing, dying to know what a GCam port would look like)
And credits for Asus themselves for releasing a bootloader unlock tool along with kernel source, within 4 days of the phone being announced
Think about it mate, you're paying £500 for a phone that has all those specs.
When asus zenfone max pro m3 lunch on philippines?
Kiko, 23 May 2019Too bad, do not support 5G 😢Are you a social climber who wants to get the latest just to flaunt and increase your e-peen? 4G is still capable and strong and adding 5G will add 100 - 200 dollars which won't get the buzz they're currently getting.
Be glad that this is the rated Flagship Killer we would've ever wanted.
