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.

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?
