Brand New ROG 3 came with a battery with no charge

[Roystoys]

I just got my brand new ROG 3 strix edition and I am a bit concerned. First thing I noticed is that it had no protective film on the screen and the battery was totally dead so much so that it would not fire up until I had it on its charger for 5 minutes or so. Is this normal. I have had tons of New phones before and this is the first one that came like this. I am wondering if this particular phone has been sold to someone else and returned??????????

I'm not to concerned about the protective film I bought a ZenFone 5 z that came without one but like your ROG 3 the battery had about the same charge 40 something percent. I have only had it for a few hours (9 or so) so it's a bit early to tell of it's a Brumby. It seems to be ok so far so maybe I'm worrying about nothing but I just thought I'd ask you guys to see what you think. O well after waiting Two weeks for delivery I really don't want to return it so I guess I will just put it through its paces and see how it goes. Thanks for your response it does make me feel better knowing that they don't come with a film
