They missed the mark. They were great in the 2 era where they put out awesome phones at entry level prices. I understand them trying to up the quality with Zenfone 3 and it was a respectable attempt at the start of the cycle. But these new 4 phones are incredibly mediocre in both performance and value.
Go back to doing awesome entry level phones again.
Asus is just hopeless. Prestige pricing for mediocre specs in a phone only works with Apple and Samsung. I'm not sure how it is going to survive the competition. Pricing reminds me of the $699 flagship pricing of the Zenfone 3 ultra which has a 1080p screen, snapdragon 652 and 64gb internal memory.
Anonymous, 10 Aug 2017They will be following HTC & Sony.U 11 and the XZ Premium costs more than an Asus phone by $100.
And what do you get with the extra $100?
-SD835
-USonic Headset
-IP 67/68 devices, respectively
-BoomSound or dual front facing stereo speakers, respectively
-Superior Software and update system
-Better battery life
-Top class QHD and exceptional 4K HDR display, respectively
-superior camera systems (one that can do incredible video audio recording & low light stills and the other that captures motion with no blur and slower the real life 40x)
If you find the SD630 to be worth $400, knowing the Mi 6 costs $300 with SD835, and the OnePlus 5 for $500 with SD835, then I guess you'll be fine for paying $1000 for an iPhone 5s 16GB in 2017.

mir, 10 Aug 2017$500 for those specs? They sure are full of themselves.They will be following HTC & Sony.
Ahong Surahong, 10 Aug 2017For that price at least they should come with SD660.Agree with you. The Zenfone 3 zoom is a better buy compared to this. SD 625 with better camera (dual 13MP), and a generous 5000mAH battery.
And for €500, Samsung Galaxy C9 pro with SD 653 & 4000 mAH battery is a though competitor for Asus to beat.
For that price at least they should come with SD660.
Snapdragon 425 is marginally better over Previous Zenfone Max's 6737M and it's really outdated.
Snap 430 is the minimum for a smartphone in 2017.
RiP Asus you won't be missed.
whom does asus think they are
apple of android ?
Asus digging their own grave.
