Zenfone 6 discontinued?

[Jeb]

Has the Zenfone 6 really been discontinued?
B&H Photo Video's site states the product has been discontinued, and the official Asus site now has no store options to buy it from!
Did this really happen?

Nope, unfortunately. They seemed to fix the speaker issue but I doubt that calls and texts will ever be reliable as I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that it is due to lack of volte support in the US and, being that it costs money to test and enable such a feature, it's not going to happen at this point. I hope I'm wrong.

Try to find me any unlocked phone - besides an iPhone - that works flawlessly with VoLTE or VoWIFI. Asus or not, it's not something you typically get from an Android device manufacturer on an unlocked phone.

Not sure what you're referring to. I never claimed that. I only claimed that the Zen 6 has literally no (stock) volte at all in the US. Having it should improve functionality. No phone is likely to be perfect. Just living in 2020 and hoping for 2020 (or 2016, really) level phone calling functionality ?

In india it's available across all the platforms mentioned above so i don't think it's discontinued

May be it stopped shipping to a specific region

It's not in stock with flipkart and nowhere else it's available since it's an fk exclusive.,
and probably it's not getting manufactured further
this could be a temporary scarcity due to COVID Outbreak, majority of Supply Chain got affected, and there are even more factors like revised GST , import regulations
There might be very few stocks left, where I got mine on 6th of this month
