In YouTube crush issue is little low when compared to netflix and amazon prime ,rather than that this dev is beast 😍

I regret buying mine as well. So I brought it to their service center in Robinsons Galleria this morning for checking and they asked me to leave the phone with them. They said they have access to a more updated FW compared to what's accessible to the public and that they will try to update it to see if it will resolve the issue. I have no means to disprove what they're saying so I just went along. I'll make follow up tomorrow if they don't reach out to me first.

I just bought this 2 days ago and it's absurd I have to go through this already. If they can fix it, fine. If not, I'll be demanding a refund so I can buy a different phone that's not as problematic as this.

As expected, their service center cannot fix it and just kept on saying that it will be fixed by a fw update "soon" without any ETA. Just had it refunded to save myself the trouble. Bye ASUS!

This is my first ASUS Phone.
I bought the phone on 21st Aug(first sale for this version of the phone in India). Delivered on 25th.
2 days of average use. It has been very good in all aspects except for the BLACK CRUSH issue which seems to be more evident after gaming (PUBG for about 3 hrs). The brightness level is constant at 45, but the issue does not seem to change even at full brightness. everything else on the phone is ok.
I am considering a replacement of the device. will this be helpful in anyway or should i just get a refund?
Really want to hold on to the phone since everyone is addressing it as a software issue that can be fixed. When is the fix going to be out?
After the hype created, paid so much money considering we will get a phone with the best stuff on it.

I bought ROG phone 3 yesterday. Mine is 12gb 256gb version. Im also experiencing heavy black crush issue while watching youtube and photos which are black. Shown the device in nearby Asus authorized service centre. They checke dand told that its a display issue and better to return it if possible. And may not be a software issue. Now im going to return the device since paying this much money for a premium device that has faulty display is not reasonable..
