Meh, I was actually planning on getting a zenfone, but the limited software updates kinda put me off

Yeah, that has a locked bootloader and even though they promised you’d be able to unlock it, they never provided a way to do so. There’s at least 1 case in which a user sued them over it and asus had to reimburse them.

Not to mention all of the issues with their pc hardware. They’re a shit company and everyone should avoid them.

It was the last <6" flagship smartphone. Not sure what to replace my s10e with. The battery is failing and I didn’t get any security updates in a year. I could unlock the bootloader and put a custom rom on, but that blows the e-fuse in the SoC so bye-bye decent camera and possibly mobile banking too

Sony Xperia 5V?

Don’t know about that camera stuff but mobile banking doesn’t have any issues. I have the Sony phone I mentioned above, I rooted it and it has the grand total of 0 issues.
