How to pre order and buy a ZenFone 6 (2019) ZS630KL

Update August 29: The ZenFone 6 has proven itself and it a GREAT option to buy. We look at a recent Reddit thread where long-time owners of the ZenFone 6 give a rating out of 10. A majority put it at 9 or 8 after having used it and owned it. Reddit is a tough crowd, but an honest crowd. The ZenFone 6 is a winner and worthy of your money. Now the harder part is where can you buy one. If you want one, don’t wait for sale prices or the cheaper model because the stock is low and supplies will be gone entirely. Most online retailers show no stock, so we are hopefully saving you some hassle with links and information.

Indonesia has ZenFone 6 availability. Only the 6GB/128GB model and is available to buy (Rp 6,999,000) at eraspace.com and Tokopedia .

The $899 USD ROG Phone 2 is available (shopping options for Canada and International) and we have full details here.

If you are outside of the current ZenFone 6 stocked countries, you can look at international options here. If you are outside of the US and don’t want to deal with 3rd party sellers, check that linked article out. Ordering from the one US retailer (who ship internationally) may be a decent option for those of you from Australia and other countries.

ASUS has officially disclosed the ZenFone 6 production issues, but they have been able to resolve those issues. It seems a bit uncanny to see the ZenFone 6 as “discontinued” across most retailers globally. This fact opens up the possibility that ASUS is putting their efforts into ensuring smooth ZenFone 7 production as rumors indicate it will also use the flip camera module albeit with more lenses. ASUS went for perfection on the flip camera and the materials used to manufacture it. They paid a price in terms of slow production but the solid performance of this innovation show reliability and trust has won over a lot of consumers. This bodes well for the ZenFone 7.

Since launch, we have been painfully tracking various pre-order opportunities across many markets and many retailers. If you hear of stock at this point in mid-2020, please let us know via email. We post information as we get it. If you want availability updates for the ZenFone 7 emailed to you, please sign-up for our newsletter here. Remember to check your junk/trash folder though as sometimes newsletter emails can get missed and filtered as spam.

Where can I buy the Twilight Silver color version of the ZenFone 6?

Twilight Silver is now starting to show up at various retailers. If you want this color, be fast during pre-order opportunities. Only a limited number will be made available to pre-order. In the US for example, the Twilight Silver sold out during the pre-order phase quite quickly. The production of Twilight Silver takes more time than the Midnight Black. Expect stock to show up soon, expect limited stock and fast sell-outs. We recommend you act quickly and order right away when the chance comes.

At the unveiling event, when it came to the price announcement? Crickets. Yep, it’s true. The reality is ASUS no longer feels the need to join that race to the bottom. They did say the strategy moving forward was towards “power users” and with that quest comes a fully packed ZenFone 6. With that said ASUS has managed to release a flagship worthy competitor at a cheaper price than the competition.
