Marked down $30 from MSRP of $299.99. Don’t know for how long (has been since Sunday, so I presume it is a whole week thing).
Hot deal? No, but it is lukewarm, especially for those on T-Mobile looking for a decent unlocked phone that has Band 12 (it is really sh*tty that the flagship of this phone, the 5Z, does not support Band 12, not to mention that it has the USB C connector).
Pros?
- Cheap.
- 4 cameras, 2 of which are wide-FOV cameras (back and front)
- selfie flash
- FM Radio
- Includes 3.5 mm headphone jack
- Dual SIM plus dedicated MicroSD slot (not a shared slot)
- Aluminum build
- Band 12 support for T-Mobile
Cons:
- Not flagship. SD630 processor (which does hold its own, but it isn’t one of the SD8xxx)
- No OIS on cameras.
- MicroUSB (not USB C)
- Bluetooth 4.2 (for those who care)
- Camera is high spec, but reviews are lukewarm on youtube.
- Comes with Android 7.1 out of the box. Asus has promised 8.0 upgrade soon.
- No notch (for those who care)
