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.

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.
How does this pricing compare to the competition like say, the OnePlus 7 Pro?
- 6GB/128GB: $669 USD – 699/709€
- 8GB/256 GB: $699 USD – 749/759€
- 12GB/256GB: $749 USD – 819/829€
How does this pricing compare to the Google Pixel 3a XL?
- 64GB – $479 USD
What versions of the ZenFone 6 (ZS630KL) will be available in the US and Canada?
- The 6GB/64GB, 6GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB models will be available in North American markets (US and Canada)
What is this newly announced ZenFone 6 Edition 30? Where can I buy it and when will it be available?
The ZenFone 6 Edition 30 is a variant of the ZenFone 6 that ASUS announced as part of their 30-year anniversary. This model has 12GB of RAM, 256GB storage, a 30-month warranty, and a differently designed rear. Only 3,000 units will be produced. No pricing or availability has been announced so far.
What network bands will the North America variant of the ZenFone 6 have?
- Just like previous generations of ZenFone models, expect the typical networks to be compatible. As ASUS states about network compatibility in the US, “This device is not compatible with CDMA Networks such as: Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular.” As for Canada, here is what ASUS says: “Compatible with GSM Networks including Rogers, Bell, Telus, Wind, Fido, Virgin, Koodo and cellular network providers utilizing GSM network.” Here are a couple charts to sort out the US and Canada compatibility:

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.

Hi, any idea when Asus Zenfone 6 will be available in Singapore? 🙁
Thanks.
This launch is ttly fu**ed up…. Small stock, no info on availability, only the 6/64 at the launch…
“Did Asus learned from the past?”
no !
We are Jun 26th, France, I want to buy the 8/256 what I have to do ?
– Wait 2 more weeks (2 monthes after launch are not so far)
– impossible to pay in x time, Asus italy propose it for exemple, but not fr one, I called the hotline, they don’t know why (and they don’t know when the 12/512 anniversary will be available…)
– no pre order goodies, even a voucher for the Asus shop
I’m close to just buy the 6/64 on rakuten… Or just forget about it and go on another one very frustrating
Where can I buy online if I’m based in the Middle East precisely in Abu Dhabi UAE? It looks impossible to get it here
Can you offer any insight for previous ZenFone models like the 5z? Where was it usually available? Any store names, links, etc will help. We can dig around but extra info from previous ZenFone releases for that area will help. Thanks!
Can you also add info related to countries like Australia & New Zealand.
Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea and we will try to get info and post it as well.
Asus France has some black 6/128 for €559.99 I noticed today
Holy molly this phone’s really sell out fast, I just saw your update about restocking and few hours later all stores are out of stock (again), damn. Now what should I do. Anyone has any idea about this phone availability in SEA countries?
Grrrr [RANT] people in Ireland have to use the UK site to buy this as we dont have one…and pay in Pound not euro… AND the UK site NEVER has stock. 🙁 Two months I’m waiting on a preorder from Alza.co.uk that NEVER had stock to start with… [/rant]
Just want to let you know that the Black version with 8GB RAM/256GB ROM is now available from from italian Asus e-Shop…
Just checked, all Euro stores are out of stock (again), *sigh
Excellent resource! Could you confirm which model numbers (or region variants) are considered version A or B or C? Thanks!
The stock ETA on Alza.co.uk has now slipped to the 20th August
And looks like the Forbes article ASUS tweeted out was also wrong — the end of the month has come and gone without anything from ASUS.
Oh this is getting frustrating. I appreciate the update!
There are some 6GB units in the eShops, one is Twilight Silver. 🙂
There are 6G units in stock in the eShop today. One of them is Twilight Silver! 🙂
Ok, double post. ^^ At Zentalk an ASUS guy stated the following:
“The availability is a problem which we’re working very hard on solving. We regrettably made some wrong choices which made an impact in the efficiency of how many units we can produce. This is what we’re trying to correct.”
Glad they spoke on the subject. Kind of late letting folks know but I guess it’s progress.
Twilight Silver (128 Go) available for the first time in Europe !
Zenfone6 will be announced on 8/20 in Japan, but only 6/64 and 6/128 models.
Price is about 8200JPY～
It will be finally annouced at 8/20 in Japan but only 6/64 and 6/128 models.
Price will be from about 82000JPY
Thanks so much for the information!
Have a look at the Q&A section of the B&H links. Someone asks about the 8GB model, and an account that looks like an official Asus rep, replies that it will arrive in the US later this year.
Thanks for posting that information!
Looks like ASUS US and Amazon both have it listed now.
Anyone have news about an official release in Canada? I know us Canadians can purchase from the US from a couple of retailers but it would be nice to know when this phone is actually going to make it up here (and where I’ll be able to find it. I’d rather purchase one in CAD and have a Canadian warranty. I’m finding it very difficult not to just order one from the US and have it shipped.
There is conflicting information regarding the US warranty in Canada. I’ve dealt with ASUS a lot over the years. Maybe things changed but previously the US variant is considered North America and that warranty applied to Canada and US. I should call to clarify because who knows in 2019 what the deal is. I totally understand the hesitation though. We have pretty reliable sources regarding Canada. There hasn’t been any indication that it’s coming this week. I would say by the end of this week we should have a better idea. The good news is that when it comes, it should be ready to buy and not a pre order situation. At least for the Midnight Black.
So I ended up getting one shipped to me through B&H. They have the one I wanted in stock and ready to ship so I pulled the trigger. 4-6 buisness days is what they stated for delivery. My LG G6 has started to reboot randomly on me so I’m extra inclined to get a hold of the Zenfone. Before I purchased, I talked to an ASUS support rep. I asked about Canada pricing and availability. They stated that they have had no news as of yet as to when the phone is supposed to make it’s way to Canadian markets OR what the price will be. They really couldn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know. I’m assuming that the phone will be right around the $650-$700 mark here in Canada when it is finally released given that it is $500 USD. But that’s just my guess. Will post on here if I hear anything else.
Thanks for the update! Your info will help a lot of people out. Did the ASUS rep clarify the US phones warranty status for Canadians? If you have a follow-up when you get the phone, that would be great to hear also. Lots of Canadians have been inquiring and hearing your story will definitely help them make a decision. Thanks again.
The rep didn’t know any details on warranty regarding US phones being shipped to Canada. They told me to subscribe to their newsletter and watch for additional information. However, since I will be getting my phone within the next week, I will see what it says in regard to warranty when I open the box. I will come back here after I receive it and let everyone know what it says.
I wonder if Asus will ever release Zenfone 6 in SEA market, been waiting for too long
Another model just came back in stock on the Official ASUS US Store! Grab it while you have a chance! It’s ready to ship.
Model: ASUS ZenFone 6- 6.4” FHD+ 2340×1080 display – 8GB RAM – 256GB
Link: https://store.asus.com/us/category/zenfone6
Sold out (again) Aug 16 10:40AM ET.
Strange. Still says it’s available to “Add to Cart” for me.
https://store.asus.com/us/item/201907AM260000001
Yup. Sorry. Now it shows it’s sold out again.
Anyone know when the Asus Zenfone 6 8/256 black will be available in Czech Republic?
There is no word as of yet when it will be available in the Czech Republic 🙁
Alza representative emailed me to say they are having further issues and their dates are now back to at least 1st September but most likely beyond that.
Good to know!
I preordered mine at midnight on August 5 at B&H and still no phone. To be clear, it was the silver variant of the 6gb ram, 64gb memory phone. If I had understood that ASUS would have limited quantities on the silver, I certainly would have purchased the black model. It’s all very frustrating to have this build up just for a phone.
I purchased the black model and I should have it in my hands tomorrow by the end of the day (according to UPS). The silver models are tricky because there is definitely a bigger shortage on them opposed to the black models. Last time I spoke with B&H, they had a ship date for the silver models late this month so don’t give up hope just yet. If they were accurate, your phone should be shipping within the next 7 business days. However, that being said, the silver models seem to keep getting pushed back (shipping date & availability wise). Pre-orders are still not accepted at B&H for the silver variants which means that they still don’t know when they will be available or when they will be getting more in stock. Post back here if your phone ships within the next 7 days!
I’m bailing! I just canceled my order with B&H. I nor anyone else should have to pay for the lack of preparation and over promising that ASUS has made. And the fact that I have been charged the $500 since August 5th. Besides, I found that ZTE’s Axon 10 pro is another great buy with a more pleasing to view (less blue light) AMOLED screen. And it comes with 256GB memory with 8GB of RAM. Beautiful quick phone with more memory, better screen, IP68 rating and only $50 more. Hell, it even has wireless charging if you’re into that. I have a charger already, so it’s great for overnight charging. The only worse thing that I could find is that you have to use a USB-C dongle for headphones. Oh well, can’t win ’em all.
Got a notification email from B&H Photo regarding the Twilight Silver model. They still have no ETA on and version of the Twilight Silver units and relayed to me that they would keep me updated on status.
Same, I’m waiting on the $500 twilight silver model. I want it so baaaaddd. Hopefully I’ll see the e-mail on time and be able to preorder it.
Definitely keep your eyes on the official US ASUS store site (if you’re in the US) and B&H. I don’t believe the Official US ASUS store has the ability to send customers notification emails when models come back in stock. But when they do, they seem to go quickly. So I would check back with the US ASUS store every day because it seems models come back in stock randomly and sell out just as fast.
As for B&H, they should send out an email when the phones are coming back so at least you’ll get a heads up from them. However, I would guess that the Official ASUS store will have them in stock before B&H.
If anyone sees the twilight silver 64gb model available in the US, let us know, please <3
I have been keeping my eyes open for any pre-orders or in-stock Silver models on various sites. However, nothing as of yet. Will post in here if I see or hear of anything!
As for right now, you can technically get your hands on one via eBay if you so desire!
Looks like UK pre-orders have been shipped, mine finally arrives tomorrow after a 3 month wait.
UK pre-orders have finally been shipped, received my tracking text for delivery tomorrow..
UK pre-orders seemed to have been finally shipped. Received text from ASUS to confirm delivery tomorrow. Website is even showing stock.
Just ordered the 8/256 model from Asus UK and I’m told it will ship today! Woohoo!
Yesterday we saw the Edition 30 for a very short time on the eShop. They prize is 799 €.
The European model number is ZS630KL-6A047EU.
Update: It’s now in stock in Europe.
I was finally able to buy the black 128GB I wanted from the french Asus store today! It’s also on Darty and Amazon but for the silver only, link on top of this article. But don’t wait because I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be out of stock really soon!
Darty : https://www.darty.com/nav/achat/gps_communication/telephone_mobile/telephone_portable/asus_zenfone6_silver_128g.html
Amazon :
Did you export the phone out of France? Whenever I try it’s blocking sales outside France.
FORTRESS stores in Hong Kong have them in stock. Just walked in and grabbed one. Unfortunately it’s a 90AI01W1 part number, so I guess it’s Version A with less bands. FORTRESS is also selling two types of cases.
They have the 30 year edition in the US for 899.
https://store.asus.com/us/category/zenfone6
Thank you so much for posting this information!
Does anyone have any information of which version will come into stock first.
the 6gb/64g, 6gb/128gb or the 8gb/256gb
or should they all come into stock at the same time?
I’m in Australia buying off the B&H website
Today night 8/256 Black was in EU ASUS eShops for a while. In the morning it disappeared again 🙁
ALZA.HU (Hungarian branch of ALZA webshop) changed stock availability of preordered Zenfone 6, 8/256 (black) to October 9. Previous date was September 30.
Hungarian ASUS eShop canceled my 2 orders of ZF6 8/256 and 12/256 without any reasons. Support doesn’t gave explanations and excuses in 5 days and just recommended to “reorder”.
Thanks for the updates! Seems like the ASUS eShops don’t have experience in dealing with high volume products. Not sure they have dealt with a popular product before and the disorganization comes with that unfortunately.
I’m not sure about all ASUS eShops. It seems that here in Europe region just one company from Germany manage all ASUS online sales for EU – Arvato Distribution GmbH (ASUS Shop, Arvato Distribution GmbH, Carl-Bertelsmann-Straße 23, D-33442 33332 Gütersloh, Germany). At least they are in the footer on the most of eShop websites.
But for example I’ve got back call from russian eShop support in 20 min when I tried to reach them but unfortunately they are out of stock as well…
So just as we get this update in the BHphoto website on availability, they’re on holiday, and can’t answer any questions or emails. I wanted to ask them if they could switch my order from a midnight black to twilight silver, since when I ordered there was an est. date for the black but not for silver.
Probably just wishful thinking, but I’d really love the silver model over the black one (as most would, I assume).
Whelp, there is an expression, “par for the course”. The way this launch has gone, if something can go wrong, it most certainly will go wrong. I hope many of us can laugh about this in the near future once those “pre-orders” actually ship out. An epic launch disaster courtesy of ASUS!
Hello, for which market is this model made and which frequency bands support?
P/N:90AI01W1-M00510
C.P/N:ZS630KL-2A011WW
I’m way behind the game. I just tried to buy this phone (the 64GB version) and it’s sold out. I wouldn’t thought by now they’d have stock issues under control. Seems like it’s more popular than they expected.
