I must apologize about the late replies. It's not that we do not want to reply but we, the mods have been focusing on the ROG Phone II launch while some have been on vacation.
I have tried to reply your concerns below to the best of my knowledge
1.
GPS and compass. These should perform similar to most phones. There will for sure be some that are better but there are also a lot of phones that are worse. For a more in depth reply, check my reply in

Screen flickering at low brightness. I have seen a couple of reports but we're selling a lot of ZenFone 6 and I still haven't seen any video showing this issue. I would welcome a video as I have not been able to replicate the flickering myself
3.
Earpiece/receiver quality. Most reports comes from India where the environment can be very noisy and we're still looking into how we can improve the call clarity at higher volume.
4.
Sudden death. This has only happened to a couple of devices but it will of course sound like it is a common thing as the owners like to share in forums.
5.
Rattle from the SIM/SD slot. The only rattle noise I am aware of should come from the camera module and maybe the buttons which have floating design. Please send me a video of this and I will forward it.
6.
Faaar away from 600 nits. You may feel that it is not 600 nits but all reviews which have measured the display brightness has measured up to 600 nits.
