I am updating my EU battery review from earlier in the year, and I notice that ASUS phones dropped out of the database in May or so.
Checking the ASUS website today in a variety of EU countries I see that
their phones are either unavailable or quietly dropped. Is anyone local seeing them in shops?
I did note in March that their EU battery data was weird (together with OnePlus); their rated battery capacity was less than half (2790 mAh) the capacity of what was reported on their website (5800 mAh). Obviously, this made the battery efficiency look very good compared to competitors. https://rpubs.com/ithinkiam/1415197
Have ASUS decided to pull out of the EU? I can't see any official announcement. And if they have, could it be because of the battery regs?

That was already clear in January:

Haven't you heard of automated translation? Works fine.

You can do that yourself. I do not need it.

I know. But Chris and me do not need to understand German to read that link.
You forget that Joerge's role here is to not be helpful. He could have included a one-sentence summary together with the german link.
I did do a search regarding asus mobile phone news and didn't see anything.
Given they've chosen to completely remove their models from the EU database makes me think it's more than "temporary" departure from the phone market.

It's nothing to do with the EU. They are just stopping making phones worldwide, not temporarily: https://www.gsmarena.com/confirmed_asus_is_exiting_the_smartphone_market_-news-71158.php

I wouldn't say 'fine', but most of the time it suffices.
(I didn't even know ASUS made smartphones.)
