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

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).
---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------
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.

As for the camera, it is 13mp rear one with ois capability and you can download some camera modes from Galaxy apps store such as rear cam selfie, etc.....
As for the front one it is 5 mp camera which is actually amazing (But to be honest I prefer the rear cam selfie mode)
As for the battery it is non removable with a capacity of 3300 mah which stays along the day (Note: This differs according to your use to the device as I am not a hardcore gamer and I do not play RR3)
As for heating, It barely heats on using mobile data but on gaming It heats up but it doesn't exceed about 39 or 40°C (Again as I said above it differs from one user to another) and as for ordinary use (when not playing games) it barely warms up (A back cover will make the warmth of the device barely sensed)

Well it depends on the region you live in:
If you live in India and your device was bought from India (For knowledge the Indian model is SM-A710FD) the upgrade will be available soon as I think (It may be available but I do not know so for reference you could go to the Galaxy A series page on xda fourms)
For more knowledge: I have a galaxy a7 6 which I upgraded to marshmallow and it carries the same Indian model number although it is not bought from India, that is because my device is middle eastern as in the middle east the firmware of SM-A710FD is the same as SM-A710F which had the marshmallow update released a week ago so I found one of the middle eastern firmwares of SM-A710F and downloaded it onto my SM-A710FD and it worked normally but this method won't work on your device if you are in India since the network bands in India is different than ours (middle eastern).
Conclusion: Do not try to install the marshmallow SM-A710F on SM-A710FD if you are in India due to different network bands.
Note: That's my conclusion of all what I had read about your issue since I also have SM-A710FD so I was worried if I had bricked my device until I knew that in middle east is different than in India.
Sorry for my many words

Hi, I am from India, I have SM-A710FD and I flashed the official MM ROM available for SM-A710F . No isses, everything is working fine in India. So whoever in India wants to flash SM-A710F MM, they can go ahead. Everything is just awesome.

Exactly.
This is an excellent device.
BTW, Have you flashed the Russian official MM or any thing else ?
Is dual sim and other things working flawlessly with root ? What about battery backup ?

Yes I have flashed Russian firmware. I use single SIM so cannot comment on Dual SIM functionality but with single SIM everything working great !

If you read on this XDA, some of Indian friends have got official MM for A7. Samsung is definitely going to release official update anytime soon for this device in India.

Thanks for sharing.
Actually I use both 2 sims with MicroSD card. That`s why I`m asking.
A710FD is the only variant, which has 2 sim slots and a dedicated MicroSD card. And all the other variants has 2 slots - 1 is a sim slot and the other one is a Hybrid slot.

Nope.
A710FD has not got the Official MM yet. Though I don`t have any idea about OTA update, as mine is rooted with custom recovery. But I`ve searched and googled about this and don`t get any fruitful result yet.
But hopefully this one will get official MM shortly.
But really this is an excellent device. Excellent display, Battery Life, No Lag, Dual Sim with a dedicated Memory card slot ( one of the best dual sim phone right now).
So, this my short review of A710FD as a user.
Hope this will help you.

Hi, you can watch nice test here:

I just manually checked and see the patch is available for my unlocked US model. It's 190.77 MB so it's probably just the security patch.
Still nothing in UK. Sim free, S10 Plus.

Yeah, just got the notification today. Tried to download the full firmware from SamMobile but the download speed is abysmally slow.
Anyone who needs the full firmware, use Frija app. It is faster and it is free to use.
But keep in mind if you want to get work Frija, then need to preinstall on PC:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 & 2010 Redistributable.
And yeah good news. Finally september update arrieved. Installed and camera features from note on S10 Plus.
