When will this phone launch? Waiting impatiently . . .
Sent from my ZUK Z1 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have read somewhere end of july or possibly begining of august.
I read for Europe it will be launched after "IFA 2016" which is 04.-09. September 2016.
News that it launches July 12 in Taiwan. No word on US release date, unfortunately. Hopefully soon.
Europe = mid august. Rest of the world before that.
Coming very soon...
India launch on 17th August 2016...Feeling Excited...!!!!!:laugh::highfive::good:

Is that the Zenphone 3 or Deluxe version? On the Asus website it said Zenfone 3. It did not specify deluxe.

The release is for the zenfone 3 but all the phones in the series are announced.
Is this going to be in the U.S.?
I wonder if it will have better community story. The Delux looks like it will be a beast.
No news in the UK. What's the point of announcing phones a full quarter or two before they're ready for launch?
The press release released today by Asus Mobile Singapore says that the Deluxe will hit the streets in Q4. My guess is October. The Zenfone 3 and the Zenfone 3 Ultra, on the other hand, are hitting the streets tomorrow (Aug. 27).

CORRECTION: I'm at the media launch event right now. Though the press release says that the Deluxe will be released Q4, the presenter announced that it will be available "Late September" at $998 and $1188 (Singapore Dollars) for the two variants.

My main concern is when will this roll out in the US. It has almost been four months since initial announcement at Computex 2016.
It's a mistake I think they just realized, given they moved up the timetable on releasing the Deluxe from *sometime* in Q4 to the end of Q3 -- and did this last minute, leaving the impression of a managerial push. So hopefully, Asus has learned its lesson this time around. Or maybe I should shut up because they may have a marketing expert who knows a much better reason to have done this exactly the way they did it. *shrug*

I am also concerned with the US release date. Any news on the pricing for the US? I'm torn between using this for a new project phone and the Zenfone 2 deluxe.

Project phone?
The Zenfone 2 Deluxe is already supported by CM. I wouldn't touch the Zenfone 2 Deluxe because of the Intel CPU. Intel has official put their smartphone processor's on ice. And i only hear complains about its power management.
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL 6G/64G) is being released 2016/09/22;
ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL 6G/256G) - both Gold & Silver models are being released 2016/09/30.
Still no news on UK release. Why announce a phone 6 months before it is ready for the market???!
I bought it a month ago in Spain.
Deluxe Snapdragon 820 with 64GB / 6GB Ram

Well I have no idea what :rir::Boa: means but we are on the last day of March so thinking we are not gonna get Oreo quite yet...
I just returned my asus zenfone max plus to get the 3 zoom. Coming from a moto z play I missed the outrageous battery life so I'm excited to get the 3 zoom and test it out. Hearing it is getting Oreo is a plus as well. Sad to see there are no developers for it though
Update's been delayed until the end of June

hi everyone
i just wonder when we can get Android 8 oreo for Galaxy C7
such a smartphone with this performances 4G of ram, 64go internal memory, powerfull processor qualcomm 626 (8 X 2.02 ghz) ,1080p resolution.................
why theres no develepments for this device ?
no roms port no custom roms !
hope android 8 come soon
Oreo will not come for the C7. Samsung has a specific update policy. S, A and Note series are getting two major updates. The other series are either getting a major update or not at all. For example, the J series gets one major update. The C series is a local series. The C series is a special series to the far east. It is also now joined with the J series. The other name of C8 is J7+. As a result, if the J-series receives the single major update, the C-series also receives the single major update. The only major update of the C7 was Nougat.
Do not hope for Oreo.
ok i get it thank you so what about custom roms ported roms ?? also there's no development for it !!!

No!, C-series will have two major system update!
Samsung has recently post a notice in the Samsung Members app, the notice said that it will have Oreo update in October!
And also the what u said in your word, that all J-series won't have two major system update,but J7 Prime will have Oreo update too
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Today, I have a question and I got this answer. This is good news for us but there is always the possibility that Samsung can change this calendar. Because in the past, Samsung had deleted many devices in the Nougat update calendar and did not update them. They have already written that they can change it in the answer they give. All we can do is trust Samsung and wait to update.
By the way, the comments I made about the single update of the J series came up as a result of my observations. I have information about this in my country as a source at epey.com. The site is writing the first Android version and the latest Android version of the devices. If you take a good look, you will get something like: S, Note and A series devices are getting two major updates and the other series are either getting single updates or not updating at all.
The C series is a new series. For this reason I can not make a definite comment. But C8 is called J7 + in different countries. And since the J-series gets one big update, I think it's the C-series too.
In the old Nougat update calendar, many devices from series J would receive the second major update. But the times were all removed from the calendar. I said I should trust Samsung, but not trusting is the best option. We will be happy if the update comes, but we will not be sorry if it does not.

But what if Samsung change it's rules of system update?
Likes Apple, they maybe change their rules by giving two update on C and J series, and three update for S,Note and A series. Like what Apple did on their iPhones, they give their iPhones three iOS update, iPhone 5s get iOS 12!
So I think Samsung may change their rules by comparing to Apple

Apple was already giving more updates than 2 major updates. The iPhone 4S came out with iOS 5, but was updated up to 9.3. The iPhone 5 came out with iOS 6, but was updated up to 10. The iPhone 5S came out with iOS 7, but was updated up to 11 and this is the latest update of iPhone 5S. So Apple gives 4 major updates. Samsung always gives 2 major updates to some models.
Of course, Samsung can make changes in the update policy. But as I tell you, Samsung is a brand that can remove many devices from the list over time.
I say again: If the update comes, we will be happy. But let's not hope for updates. If the update does not come, we will not be bad. :good:

Bro I saw that notice in the Samsung Members app notice section, it is named Oreo Update Schedule Notice.
And when it comes, idk what exactly when, but according to the notice it'll probably come out on October.
Bro, I'm confused too about the update, because I have many Samsung phones and I don't know if they can get Oreo or the future Android 9 Pie.:laugh:

Well, we can see C7 Pro have beta update of Android 8.0.0 on SamMobile. But it doesn't mean all C series will get that. May get as you said. Because there is two reasons;
-Pro C series come with 6.0.1 stock. But Samsung changed their UI like Android 7.
- That series released in 2017.
I can't understand Samsung in this regard. There is Android 7.1 available when they released. But why Samsung stayed on the 6.0.1.. I don't know.
In short... On mine opinion don't hope to 2016 C series will get Oreo... May get, may not. Depends on Samsung...
Oreo cooming soooooooon????
