There is a new software update from Asus for the Zenfone AR (ZS571) and it brings RAW image support.
Version: ZS571KL_ WW_14.1600.1706.21
Release Date: 2017/07/17
You can update manually by going into your system settings, about, system update.
The Zenfone AR is set to release in more markets including the US exclusive for Verizon. That particular model will have 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. That was from the original press release although those specs may change. We’ve seen the Canadian specs which show 6GB RAM and 64GB storage. We are expecting a release for North America in days, not weeks at this point.

Raw from the Sony sensor bypasses all the perks of having the other two cameras on there. I’m not sure how useful it will be other than to be able to say it can do raw …
Still anxiously awaiting a North American release! So hopefully I can find out for myself really soon!
