i agree that flagships are defined as top of the line phones with many if not all of the best/latest features available. that includes stuffs like using the best and latest SoCs, IP ratings, best cameras, screen quality, stereo speakers, fast storage/transfer speed, big ram/storage size, and design/build quality.
IMO, ZF6 is still a flagship. however, not all flagships are created equal, and ZF6 happened to be on the lower spectrum of the flagships. if all flagships have the same specs it would be bad for consumers who want a bit of variations. not everyone likes oled/amoled or in-display fp scanner. some dont mind the absence of the 3.5mm jack or expandable storage but some do.
Poco is definitely not a flagship just because it had SD845 because it had too many compromises just to be able to have that chip at that price point. in the end its just a midranger with flagship chip.

Tok Mat, 20 May 2019Yes indeed. How about Samsung Galaxy S10+ its have all the flagship features. It has pathetic battery and ridiculous black "cancer" on its screen. And not to mention it costs at least 50% more than the Zenfone. Still much better than the OP, but i'd buy the Asus over the 10+ even if price was the same.

Love the Community, 20 May 2019Features like the ones you mentioned don't define flagship; Only processors do. If the process... morePocophone F1 is not flagship. In your case as long as the phone equip with SD8xx series is a flaqship ? even it come with 500MB RAM and 2MP camera ? or without fast charging ? Flagship define the best all feature the phone can have at the current times.

As for OIS...have you seen video tests? It does the same job with the EIS. And not the first time i've seen this:

So called "flagships" are totally overrated. EVEN in terms of camera and camera doesn't define a phone.

No matter how many cr@ppy features this phone has but in the end, it has SD855 so it's a flagship. Pocophone F1 is a Flagship killer because it sells SD845 at unprecedented rates.
Well to be honest I am actually having mix feelings about the Asus zenfone 6. The motorized camera lookes kinda cool , but I dont know about the durability in real life use , and I really do prefer amoled over LCD screen .
Issy_I, 19 May 2019That means the OnePlus 7 Pro is absolutely a budget flagship with a premium pricetag? its miss... more3.5mm jack and massive external memory card storage not a flagship features dude. Flagship features right now are like Optical Images Stabilizer (OIS), telephoto camera, fingerprint under display and IP68 dust and water resistance rate, do this Zenfone 6 have it ? I believe not . Yes I agreed OLED/AMOLED is no longer flagship features but most flagship do have it. To me Zenfone 6 ZS630KL are more like premium midrange than flagship with minimum flagship price on the market. I'm not Asus haters, I do own one Asus phone right now.
smartroad, 19 May 2019I had been thinking of the 1+7 (not pro), but looking at this one seems a better deal, I mean ... moreStandard support after release is 2 yrs OS Upgrades and 3 yrs Security Updates. Eitherway Asus Phones are easier to bootunlock with no DRM/losing functionality/triggerng Security Crap like KNOX compared to say like Sony/Samsung that triggers or removes functionality whilst with Asus you can freely go Official or CustomROMS of your choice.
Hello guys, i cant find from where to pre-order or order this phone (for europe) if anybody knows let me know pls thanks!
alyfree, 19 May 2019please gsmarena what is the Endurance rating Battery life for Asus Zenfone 6 They'll do that once they do a full review. This is hands-on review.
Anonymous, 19 May 2019Does gsma have intentions of doing the review? They did not for zen4 nor zen5I've noticed that. Been searching for a new phone to replace mine which is starting to get faults (fingerprint reader/home buttons not working). There are lots of 'hands-on' reviews that say about doing a full review, but they don't seem to turn up :(
I had been thinking of the 1+7 (not pro), but looking at this one seems a better deal, I mean you get a much larger battery, SD card, 3.5mm jack, no notch, reverse charging, Gorilla Glass 6, ultrawide lens AND a FM Radio (does any actually use those on a phone?). And it is €50 cheaper.
About the only things I can see the 1+ has over the Zenfone is it has 3.1USB rather than the ZF with USB 2.0 and an in-screen fingerprint reader.
I am not mentioning screens here because personally I prefer an LCD over OLED. Mostly because all my previous phones with OLED have suffered with some form of burn in or yellowing.
My only real concern is how long with Asus support the phone for? I can't find anything that talks about support.

The fact that there is no AMOLED is a deal braker for me.
