Asus Zenfone 2

treesheep · 01-03-2015 11:07pm #1

Just wondering if the new offering from Asus is coming to Ireland, and if anyone is interested in buying it!!!!

flugel · 02-03-2015 12:45am

Have my eye on it. Details to be released at MWC this week I think?

More interested in the mini version

GIMP · 02-03-2015 3:07am

Its a glorious phone, can't wait till its released in Europe, just looking at the new S6 and M9 and both are disappointing design wise!

treesheep · 03-03-2015 12:10am

From MWC it seems we might not get it here in Ireland or the UK!!!! If so could we use the French version. I doubt it but don't know for sure.!!

Read this last night, would be disappointed if it isn't released here :-(

treesheep · 06-03-2015 10:25pm

Any more developments???

Very interested in this phone too first seen it on a LTT video but the price has been all over the place I have seen the 2Gb models price at anything from $199 to €300 if its under €250 its a steal im hoping Expansys or Amazon de get some in stock

GIMP · 07-03-2015 8:31pm

I am interested in the 4gb model if its a reasonable price, again it could be very expensive when launched.

Suprised they haven't released a UK date,sucks for us. With increased prices from resellers it may be pointless

dsimmons · 08-03-2015 5:27pm

I'm heading to Singapore the end of this month so hoping to pick one up for the missus while I'm there..there's an ASUS store nearby which I hope will have it in stock..

Even scaling up those prices for export, they should be really competitive.

droidman123 · 09-03-2015 9:14pm

I see France is one of the countries that the phone is being launched this month.I wonder could we order this from the French amazon site if they are selling it?

I don't need this phone but I really really want it.

thoughts on the 5 inch?

Camera not as good and an older and slower processor from what I've read. Wish they had a high spec 5 inch version too but it might do the job all the same. I ain't a heavy user so hopefully it will suffice. Price in dollars very appealing

thierry14 · 24-03-2015 1:54am

Is this out in Europe yet?

Gone very quiet.

Want to get the 64gb/4gb ram model

droidman123 · 24-03-2015 1:05pm

here is a fairly indept review, its nearly a half hour but the guy covers almost everything there is to know about the phone. I,m really liking it

Edit when you register you will receive the promotional code on the 30th march,then you can use it on the French Asus web store on the 31st march. No prices up yet

Phibsboro · 29-03-2015 10:02pm

Any sign of official EUR pricing yet? Looking strongly at the 4gb, 64gb model...

Surely they will only ship to a French address. Hope I'm wrong though.

I'm a bit conflicted, really I'd like the Zoom, but no hint of a release date for it yet.

Euphoriasean · 30-03-2015 8:14am

corwill · 30-03-2015 10:39am

Unless my googling is just letting me down, I'm surprised at the lack of proper reviews, given it's been out in the wild in a couple of markets.

yes I noticed that too.seems to be only you tube reviews,hardly any on the usual tech sites.

daytob · 30-03-2015 11:05am

No code yet. might be around 1ish our time. if the codes are released from 12pm their time, i dunno

bit strange, I was on the website this morning,about 1.00am,and the phones were priced up.just went on again now and no prices

btw,last night the 4gb-32gb in various colours were priced at 299 euro,tht would do fine for me.

That's the exact price point I'm hoping for. Would prefer the 64 but the 32 would do...

Yeah 32gb would be fine for me too,i have a spare 32gb card so that would be more than enough for me.

No 299 for launch price as a special
Plus free powerbank if you got a promotion code....amazing value
