I think there is other Asus zenfone threads, but let's this be for this specific model.

Can't wait for it to hit Malaysia!

If priced competitively, it could be a popular model and compete with the likes of Redmi Note 5.

Let's just see which camera module they bringing in to Malaysia and whether it does support Quick Charge 2.0 like redmi note 5.

If I want to get, I will also aim for 6gb ram version.

Camera wise, RN5 Pro is much better (especially for low light), based on YouTube reviews.

Another negative point for M1 is also the slow finger print sensor, however I read it was fixed with an update.

Anyway, what attracts me to this M1 is the 5k battery and Pure Android UI.

Let's see the price when it's launched here.

Today Asus announcing winner for their fb page questionnaire giveaway.

Hope I win then I can give my reviews here! Hehe

Shit didn't win

Wah if really have to wait until after raya it's quite long o

I actually wanted to buy the P2 last year. It's spec is great to price ratio.

Why wanna change to this M1? How's the P2 doing?

Good move by Asus.

They purposely launch end of May so that without GST, they can offer it at lower price.

Assuming original launching price is RM 999, now can sell for RM 939. Or maybe 899 hopefully hehe.

Speaking of other Asus products, I still have the Nexus 7 tablet (sim enabled) bought back in 2012 for RM 1099, I still remember. It was a hot tablet then due to its cheap price to spec ratio at that time.

Speaker kong within first year (didn't bother to send in for warranty), slow charging (maybe cause I used to quick charge). Other than that, it still runs GTA: Chinatown Wars perfectly.

Now am using it my ebook reader. Battery still can get 3 hours SOT, due to its 4300 mAph battery. So it's important to get high capacity battery, so that even many years later (like in this case 6 years later), can still use if you want hehe. And it's still smooth cos it's Vanilla android (another reason to get M1).

May 31st so long way to go...


Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Not sure whether unboxing reviews got mention, whether inside the box got provide free casing..

Edit: I checked, seems like no free casing provided. If anyone have any good links for case, can help to post here for the benefit of those wanting to get the device

Cool. Hopefully get the casing too.

I think Snap 636 will be better than 625. Hopefully can get more SOT with pure android and 5k battery

And also not sure whether they will launch the 6gb ram at the same time or later. Hopefully Asus launch all model at once.

Chosen One should use Nokia pop up phone, hehe...

Nice.. Waiting for the full review.

Must be from this thread at Kopitiam

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4592161

It was temporarily available on Lazada before taken down.

Hopefully it's true, then the 6gb version can launch at RM 899, then will get the 6gb version hehehe

One more day!! By this time tomorrow we will know the pricing and promo (if got) hehe

At last the long awaited day has come!!!

What time start?

From Asus Lazada, seems like preorder for 4gb variant, ETA is 3/7. Means if pre order only will get in July?



And no free TPU case. Disappointed. Will be hard to find for casing now since it's still very new. At least a free TPU case would be great.

Well honestly, kinda a little over hype for this phone (with all the adverts and promo way before the launch, plus now have to wait until July to get 4gb variant, plus have to wait until dunno when to get 6gb, so it's just wait wait wait. They should have launched all 3 models straight)

Am gonna wait a few more months to see any price drop, and wait for others to use and review it first. Not gonna go for 3gb flash sales.

Yup so it's a waiting game.

Not sure why Asus launch without ready stock and limited info on 6gb variant.

Probably hooping to cash in on 0% Gst hype and raya coming.

Will wait for more users review first then see how.

Actually ZenFone 5 is not a bad phone after all, albeit the lesser 3300 battery but with USB type C.

If price drop to rm 999 in future can consider hehe

So flash sales sales start 10am?

Edit : Sorry just saw post above.
