I bought an expensive ROG phone earlier in the year. The screen started failing after 6 months and ASUS refused to replace it, either under warranty or as a normal repair. Shocking customer service!
@MarmiteTheDog Рік тому
@@littletabletalks4964 I take very good care of my phones. They all look mint even after 2 or 3 year's of use. That ASUS wouldn't repair it even as a paid repair and even lied about the screen in my local market being unique just shows how much integrity they lack.
@PatrikKron 3 роки тому
I have seriously considered ROG phones just for the battery limit feature. I think that’s something every phone should have. That, longer software support and improved repairability (by design and parts availability) is what I think is missing (or at least to uncommon) in today’s phones.
