He has nothing bad to say about the phone and it's the same price as last year, plus a 512gb of storage option.

Haven't watched the video yet. Headphone jack? Edit: yes headphone jack!

Also, is ASUS's update policy still 2 years? That's a hard sell.

Don't expect their warranty to actually fix your phone. I went through 8 months and they charged me $300 for a broken screen repair (ROG Phone) and when it was finally returned to me, the NFC and RGB are broken and the screen has a dark orange splotch in the upper right corner.

And then the ROG 2 not even 2 years in was dropped from AT&T's network because ASUS didn't include the bands (: how stellar.

I'd go on about my other ASUS horror stories, but I'll keep it relevant with my phones. I'd... Avoid them. It's too bad cause I really wanted them to be a viable alternative but they haven't been making good moves recently and these customer service and warranty stories are years in the making

I've been hearing a lot of bad things about asus lately. It's really disappointing. Did their leadership change?

2 years OS but 4 years of security updates now

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's decent I guess. Might be a worthy upgrade from my Pixel 3a.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, my ZenFone 9 has been a great upgrade from my old Pixel 3a. I'd expect the ZenFone 10 to be slightly even better

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

But 4 years of security updates.
