Just would like to know if anyone is already using this phone ?

I ordered the ZTE Axon 7 (4GB) on Amazon - never got the gray one...
Thought about buying the Lonovo Zuk pro2 but don't like no sd-slot !

So I ordered the Asus with 6GB / only 64GB version is available right now.
Should be delivered in apr. 8 days.

I have it !

I came from ZF2 to this. Purchased from Taiwanese EBay seller. Deluxe ZS570KL ,820, 64GB
Loving it. Disabled all the bloat until root is provided. This things so fast you don't even know its there anway. I'm a huge fan of vanilla, so Installed Google Launcher. Perfection.

CONS so far:
- Sim cover is loose fitting. This seems to be widespread - im tempted to put a pinhead blob of bluetack in there, as its the door, not the tray. Such a small issue.
- Its so well made its slippery, similar to the HTC10. Case is on the way so wont be an issue after that
- Understandably, Battery life is a < day. I have so many chargers around, its not an issue for me.

PROS so Far:
- Fast :)
- Screen is gorgeous.
- Photo quality is amazing.
- It has not spontaneously exploded in my pocket in close proximity to my balls :)
- Overall, as a package, I'm super happy. Its a flagship killer.

My one missing feature would be wireless charging.... but there's so much inside this small package already, that I understand why its not.

Quite happy to help with any root/bootloader/rom projects when someone something gets underway in the forums.

Cheers, Mike

Where did you buy the 256GB version?? US?

Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Seller on ebay... also got the tempered glass protector and the flip case...
The flip case is stuck on with the sticky stuff they have on phone holders... It is an ASUS case...

Don't have a problem with the sim cover, in really tight - 6gb 256gb Snapdragon 821 version..
Case is great, it sticks on well and no issues with it as yet.
Very quick, no real problems there.
Amazon app store keeps force closing - old version of Amazon appstore. Downloaded new one and everything works fine...
Otherwise no problems, though funnily enough I haven't actually called anyone yet...

64GB/6GB/820 Was delivered this morning. Took only a day and half to get to me!!! Was very impressed! ASUS nailed it. Beautiful phone! Even more beautiful in person. I was extremely impressed. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A ROOT/CUSTOM ROM on this thing!

Did you receive it? I am trying to decide if I should order it from Amazon or from Asus website. Please let me know. Thanks!

No, no shipping info either...:(

I asked Asus store USA but they won't deliver to Europe. I should get some one from within the USA to ship to and then send to me.
Only Asus store where the 5.7" ones are listed is the Spain one, but none is on stock.

You could order it from ebay, this is what I did.

I ordered the 820/6GB/64Gb variant straight from the ASUS store on Amazon. It comes with US warranty but the expected ship date isn't until Nov 22.

I did that too... I am thinking of ordering it from bhphotovideo.com which says shipping on Nov 10, or Newegg which says Nov 1. I like Amazon because of ease of returns in case something is wrong...
