"Wi-Fi Call" on the Zenfone 5Z

[vitorgn]

When will the "Wi-Fi Call" option be released for the Zenfone 5Z? It is sorely needed, and many intermediary phones from other brands have this function as a default in their products.

I would say don't wait for it because chances is very less and it is already confirmed

Debasish Sahoo, who confirmed this? I have not seen any Asus newsletter on this topic. Please, if you have an official Asus document, post it here. But, what is the difficulty in implementing this function in an update? As far as I know, it doesn't depend on the hardware, only the software. Or am I wrong about that?
Thank you.

Hi vitorgn
Thank you for your asking. Kindly refer to 4 main requirements below that needs to fulfill to use VoLTE/VoWiFi function :
A. The carrier supports VoLTE/VoWiFi
B. The carrier supports VoLTE/VoWiFi with the model 
C. SIM Card has VoLTE/VoWiFi
D. Both side are using VoLTE/VoWiFi

First, please check with your sim carrier weather it supports VoLTE/VoWiFi in ZS620KL or not. Thank you.

1. Model Name: Asus Zenfone 5z
2. Firmware Version: .92

I don't know where to start but I feel very disappointed because I buy a flagship phone but it lacks of some basic features which is not acceptable. We are waiting since a long time but still we didn't get vowifi and Amazon prime HD support, then is it worth to spend 30k for this phone? We buy a flagship phone so that we can get more priorities than a midrange phones but now a days mid range phones are getting vowifi and Amazon prime HD support but 5z still lacks in it. If u compare 5z with 2018 flagship phones i.e:- One plus 6 and Xiomi poco f1 they already get vowifi support and Amazon HD support since a long time. But unfortunately 5z didn't. If you remember we got Android 10 on November 2019 and after that we didn't get a single feature update, only we are getting minor updates with bug fixes and Security Patches. Company promised to give 2 years of updates and 5z released on July 2018 so 5z should be their priority atleast till July 2020. Vowifi launched way before that time period but still we didn't get vowifi. Now we get updates because there is still some bugs remaining and they are fixing it otherwise that 23rd July update will be our last update. Poco f1 is still Xiomi's priority even after 2 years and it is all set to recieve their Miui 12 update but 5z didn't get any feature updates since December 2019 even if on company's 2 years of update cycle. Is it our fault that network operators are not adding vowifi support for 5z? Or is it our fault that Amazon not adding 5z for HD support? We spent 30k for a flagship phone and its the responsibility of Asus to convince them to add those supports. 

Don't we deserve vowifi and Amazon HD support even after spending 30k for a flagship phone?

Please add Vowifi and Amazon HD support in upcoming updates, its a request.

 I have planned to buy Asus next year flagship phone but if I won't get these basic vowifi and Amazon HD support then definitely I will go for other brand.

Please look into this matter @Anders_ASUS @CH_ASUS @Victor0_ASUS @Christine_ASUS @ARP_ASUS

Unfair for 5z users
