It has been out of stock for an unusually long time & going by the comments on asus official zenfone forum,it seems this model production was plagued with some serious defects enough for asus to stop production altogether.

I saw geekyranjit review of this & as per him ColorOS 6 is improved from ColorOS 5 & for just its camera & gaming performance it should be a good option.Of course this is assuming it is not plagued with alleged defects like Zenfone max pro 2(see above post) which will come to light only later.

UI which can't even show default battery stats of android is crap. One can flash AOSP based rom on Xiaomi phones if they don't like MIUI.

To be honest,I only look at battery % remaining icon & rarely look at battery stats

Of course I have never personally used ColorOS so can't say how much I will like(or hate) it but it surely won't be just because of lack of default battery stats.

That's sad. Good news for Xiaomi

Vivo Z1 Pro
vivo Z1Pro - Price, Specs & Features - vivo Estore

There's a reason me & Goku advice against Vivo, Oppo & Realme phones strictly & this guy sums it up (check Software part after 3mins):

I would say that guy might have been too harsh, but MIUI & One UI are much better even though those are highly skinned.
