Zenfone7 looks like a very good phone but again, it's not coming to India on account of being very expensive(acc to asus community forums). No official word on any new midrangers, no response on zentalk (asus mobile forums) or on their facebook page. Been trying to get a 6Z or ROG2 since May now but there are no stocks available.
ASUSisn't BKK or some other shitty Chinese OEM and actually seem to release sources on time. By the way, Xiaomi has a large development community. The context of the comment you replied to is the potential strength of the development community for the Zenphone 9. In that context, enthusiasts are very important.
Sothe Zenfone 9 at: Dimensions - 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.1 mm (5.77 x 2.68 x 0.36 in) Weight - 169 g (5.96 oz) Is smack bang between the Pixel and Pixel XL in height and even narrower in the hand. Yes, it's a little thicker, but I don't think I'm mad about that as it's only 0.3mm chunkier than my current device.
