[Question] Help me select a phone?

This is false. The LTE in China version covers band 1 and 3 (FDD-LTE 1800 and FDD-LTE 2100). That covers all carriers in Middle East, many countries in Africa, nearly all of Asia, all of UK and Europe, and some Latin American and Caribbean areas too.

What's the point in buying that version when you can get all the bands on the WW version?

Correcting error regarding statement that China version only supports China LTE. Particularly pertinent because OP is in Middle East.

Can root easy. There are a few custom ROM, but most of them have some problems. Probably best just stay with stock and use Nova or Apex launcher.

After doing some research, I found that actually the 4/64 GB version is Intel 3580. All the others are Intel 3560. So I ordered one 4/32 GB as it is sufficient for me and is Intel 3560 cpu.

That's not true. Mine is 4GB/32gb but 3580. I believe they came out with that 3560 version later.

There's a big problem with China version for LTE bands outside of China. Taiwan is basically the worldwide version.

I have seen all the online stores as well as the Asus website. Only the 4/64 GB version is Intel 3580. You can check your version again or there is a possibility that later on they change their minds.

I bought mine when it came out in April and they had it then. Probably discontinued since the 128gb model came out. People were complaining about the ram usage of the 2gb model so they bumped it up to 4gb.
