Doesn’t exactly reflect well on Asus’ customer service but good to get confirmation at least (especially as someone who just bought a ZF10!)

Not only that. They sell ✨G A M I N G✨ phones.

Never heard of their ROG phone lineup?

I’ve had the ROG 2, and now the ROG 6. Up there as my favorite phones ever. Even if you aren’t a phone gamer, it’s great for Android Phone power users too.

Surprisingly, though I didn’t originally buy with it in mind, the second side USB-C port quickly became one of my favorite features.

The zenphones seems pretty nice actually.

A bit too pricey for me though.

I’d personally wait until they actually follow through.

true, but Mishaal is reliable I’d say. I can always get a motorola though. Otherwise, welp, I’d get an iPhone because I regret my Xiaomi

I’m thinking more in the sense of ASUS following through with commitment rather than doubting Mishaal :).

Claiming that they want to allow it is pretty worthless if it has been killed off for months with no fix (and no fix in sight)…

ASUS killed off bootloader unlocking back in May and has yet to fix that. If you try right now, you cannot unlock your ASUS phone. They may fix that in the future and are saying that’s the case but as of right now, you can’t.
