Why did I buy this phone

Level 1
No Android 11.
No VoLTE or VoWIFI in the UK, but in Latvia ? sure why not.
Black crush graphics.
No 5G mmwave.
Used to have widevine L1 now L3 and asus are like yeah whatever, send your expensive phone back to us.
The support from Asus has been nothing short of atrocious. You give features to tiny little countries with less than 2 million people in it .. but a country with 66 million ? nah we don't care about you. Same for Australia.
I will not be buying Asus products in future. I thought you might want to help, but it seems you're not interested from the updates you release.

Some research beforehand would have saved you those bucks,and the only reason that you would be buying this phone is to have the best performance in gaming out of every single phone out there with the best connectivity
5G isn't the phone's problem,if your area doesn't have 5G yet,be patient and it'll have
Also VoLTE and VoWIFI will be enabled in future updates for more countries I think,if it's not enabled for you yet,then again be patient
Hahahahahahahahahaha
i gonna not do it again and buy Asus phones in future
You, me, everyone, we have been cyberpunked😂😂😂😂😂
To get cyberpunked it would require the bugs to be on every single phone.
Guess what, my phone despite being rooted, aside from black crush which tons of phones have nowadays (altho not as extreme as on Rog3) no issues and all working splendidly.
Silly users
I use banking apps so that's why not rooting Asus. Anyways, did you face DRM L1 to L3 downgrade issue with the latest .122 update? Or are you currently using any custom rom?
If I flash the latest .122 update via fastboot method, do you think I can regain L1 widevine security?
I thought safety net covered most of the banking apps. Some apps like google pay still have the ways to detect root, but mostly safety net is working since the days I had galaxy note 5.
when i was rooted, i couldnt use googlepay with safety net/any magisk modules :(
My point wasnt that root = fix all your problems, infact rooting does mostly cause downgrade. My point being not all phones are messed up, the DRM thing happened for many phones, it wasnt exlusive to the Rog3 phones, you just got unlucky. And to answer your question, no the DRM thing never happened to me.
Earlier it was fixed, by since Android 9.0, even magisk can't help you. I can't use apps like phonepe and apps provided by banks if I root my device.
No, I wasn't saying that root can fix everything. Since, I'll be flashing the whole firmware again, would it be possible to gain back L1 DRM? Since, even if I go to service center, it's the possible thing they'll also be doing. Moreover, they're gonna keep the device for eons.
I'm not sure about that. I don't know if sacrificing warranty is worth for a solution that will only maybe work.
I am never buying an Asus Phone again. I came from Pixel thinking ROG has all the specs but Asus does not care about its users.
