I've tried looking everywhere, but all I see are old articles about a month ago. I see other people already have it in the US, just wondering where they are getting it from? Is that the official US version because even on ASUS' website, it says it's not released yet.

End of September. People are buying from Ebay. They are not us versions though, with extra US bands.

I ask Asus Livechat Customer Service two weeks ago and he said in US it will release in December

according to Notebookcheck the north american version just cleared the FCC on Sept 22 and is approved for release.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Asus-ROG-Phone-3-will-be-released-to-North-America-soon-as-confirmed-by-the-FCC.495193.0.html
I contacted Asus support yesterday and inquired about the release date in the US. The rep told me September 2020, so I asked if that would be next week because there were only 5 days left in September. He replied saying he was only informed that Sept. 2020 was the release date and that its possible but no guarantees. Honestly who knows at this point but it does seem like it will be very soon.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585046-REG/asus_zs661ks_16g512g_rog_phone_3_dual_sim.html
says coming soon on bh
Feels like it's been forever waiting for this one to release here. Hope it isn't much longer, ready to unload this 7T Pro McLaren 5G for something new.
Asus now has it available for purchase on the USA Asus store.
$1099 USD for the 16gb ram version
$999 USD for the 12gb version
https://store.asus.com/us/item/2020...-Storage--5G-LTE-Unlocked-Dual-SIM-Cell-Phone
Looks like the upgraded controller is not available for purchase yet. [emoji36]
But the twin screen is.

This will serve as a support and discussion thread for us Filipinos.
But first, we all know how difficult it is to get a OnePlus 3 directly from OnePlus- what, with the shipping, customs, and all. So hopefully others will share how they got theirs in the Phils.
God bless!

Thanks, Kababayan! I'm A****w. I'm a OnePlus 3 Enthusiast, planning to have soon since its really difficulty to have the unit in our country. I owned and used different smartphone brands, and now planning to try OnePlus. I hope It won't disappoint me once I decided to get it. About the phone, because some resellers is selling the China Variant with the flashed O2 OS, does the ROM can get OTA?
Hello Kabayan's!
Planning to get one also. Maybe next month. :fingers-crossed:
OH,dear.You can buy it from oneplus official site directly or other retail online shop.
But I think oneplus official site cheaper than other shop
This was what I was going to do before I bought a Nexus 6P.
Buy directly from the Oneplus website. They now accept all major credit cards wherever it was issued. With an option for a separate billing and shipping address, the Philippines is now listed under Country. I was planning to send it to JAC Plus, they are my private forwarder of choice. I've used them before to ship my Moto X, no issues and was charged for Php 800+ to ship the phone to the Philippines.
I checked their website and philippines is not on the list.
You can buy it from widget city philippines, but sadly they don't have accessories yet for it
@reyscott if you don't mind me pinging you, if you are considering an OP3 you should check this out
@saywhatt pls tell me if your getting the 3.. good thing we are just in the nearest neighborhood. wohoo.

You all misunderstood me. It does not ship directly here yes. I did not say otherwise. I said that the Philippines is available under Country in Billing information if you choose to pay by card. You couldn't do that before because their only payment option was Paypal US which requires a US issued card. Now that credit cards are accepted you can separate your shipping and billing info to get around US only items. As long as your credit card is internationally accepted, you won't have any issues.
And I did say I was going to use JAC Plus, yes? Whatever reason would I use them other than to ship the item to me here?
Let's try again -
1. Order from the website directly using a US address for Shipping.
2. Choose to pay by card.
3. Un-tick the option that says billing is same with shipping. Input your real address.
4. Place order, you will be redirected to the payment portal site. Input your card info and pay.
I prefer or recommend to get the China variant since all bands is available for Philippines telco and 4G LTE network.
Anyone could help me how to buy from China OnePlus and ship to Philippines?

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.
I'm waiting for benchmarks between sd845 and exynos, in order to decide on which one to pick. I'm probably going exynos route again, shame we Canadians get slammed with the Americans, even if we don't use CDMA networks anymore.

I thought Best Buy did not do this anymore.
I thought you need to buy a carrier subsidized device ?
I am not going to the S9 anyway, I just do not want another device where I will need to wait for at least a year after Android P is released to get it, also I do not want Samsung Bloat you know like Bixby.
...but I am curious will check the Best Buy website, sure enough for only $1100, plus tax and shipping I can get an unlocked device sent to my home. Thanks for pointing this out.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.

6GB RAM/64GB storage version on sale on Monday 18th June. If you want 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage then the release date is Wednesday 4th July.
The price and Al build with Snapdragon 845 and 6.2 inch screen and stereo speakers is a major major major go for me. MicroSD slot is the icing in the cake. I can just fit a glass screen protector on this baby and it should be good to go. Also Asus will be doing a 50 pounds/euro promotional rebate for all pre-orders and all sales on their website up til 15th July.

Anyone heard when it may be available in the US? It can be bought on ebay now from sellers in Taiwan and China but I'd rather wait until it's released in the US so hopefully it'll be the variant with more US LTE bands (assuming it's actually getting officially released in the US).

Depends on what you want, need, and can afford now vs then. The belief is that the global version will have band support that the current Tencent version doesn't have. If you need that additional band support, then wait. If it's more expensive and you can afford it, then wait. But if you're impatient like me, get it now. I should have mine on Saturday. It supposedly doesn't have 71 support. And maybe more. I'll report on what I can this weekend. I'll be connecting to TMO though.

The tencent version has typical chinese battery management stuff that will cause issues with notifications, and its a bit more locked down. Best to be on the worldwide rom.

Hi everyone,
I'm a little confused and would appreciate any help provided. I've read many of the posts and am still a little unsure which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has. I've seem some sites that show only a few and some sites that show more. Can someone confirm which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has?
Also, after switching over to the WW rom, does it allow you to pick which version of the UI (near stock vs ROG) during setup?
Thanks in advance!!!

Giztop is claiming that the 12/512 version of the tencent rog phone 2 has all the LTE bands I would need for TMobile (2, 4, 12, 66, but no 71) but I'm fairly weary.

I've read that the Tencent version of the ROG Phone 2 doesn't support LTE band 66, but that would be pretty awesome if it does!
Additionally, everything I've read seems to suggest that the phone will work fine on AT&T/T-Mobile. I'm particularly interested in finding out if this phone will work on Verizon's network or not though. All the phones I came across on ebay have bold disclaimers stating that the phone is not compatible with Verizon. At the same time, it supports most of Verizon's 4G LTE bands (except maybe band 66) and 1900 PCS for 3G. I wonder if maybe the phone will work on Verizon but with reduced coverage? I'd rather not switch carriers but I also really want to get this phone. I'm very tempted to just buy it now and be a guinea pig for the network, but I think I'll hold out a couple more weeks until it officially launches in the US. If it doesn't work on Verizon that'd be a huge bummer, at that point I'd have to pick between switching carriers or upgrading to something else like a Note 10.
US user, LTE in USA works great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOVxNG93amc
