    See the Zenfone 8 is launching later on today. Much as I like my new gadgets I can't really come up with a reason to shift from the ZF6.

    Yep, I'm in the very same boat! I love my Zonefone 6! The battery is still lasting all day long (and then some), the cameras (that everyone said would fail quickly) is still going strong and its 2 generations old now... (and I use it to unlock my phone so it's used a lot) I'm having no slowdowns or stutters whatsoever at and its still getting updates!

    It's so hard to knock this wonderful phone. (and has a headphone jack...) ;)

    Same for me, it really is an all purpose device. Looks like we're the only two people using one :)

    Maybe the ZF 9 next year.

    Glad to see the ZF6 is still getting some love from Asus, the June security patch appeared today along with a new one-hand mode feature. I've had it two years now & it still does everything that I need.

    ... and my Zenfone 6 bit the bullet a month or so ago. funny thing everyone said the camera would go first but that thing lasted right the way to the last day of use without a glitch and was used to face unlock every day so was always going. In the end a hardware failure on the mainbord killed it and now it wont even boot past the QC logo. oh well.

    However I have found a phone that still gives me everything I wanted... or almost loat! a 6.7 LCD screen (no to amoled burn-in) a SD 870 CPU (no to 888 over heating) a headphone jack!! (Whoop f%^&ing whoop!) a 500 mAH battery (so loved the ZP6 battery), almost stock UI and a SD card up to 1TB for only 388! (499 on moto site but 388 on amazon.de) all on the Moto G 100. Also comes with a dock for connecting/showing everything on your TV windows/computer like. Me happy but will remember the Zenfone 6 fondly.

    Sorry to hear it's bit the dust 🙁 My own one still going strong although a friend in Germany is going to see if she can sign up for the upcoming Pixel 6 offers there so might well end up with the non-pro version next month.
