I have brought device August 12 ,2020 through flipkart first sale at 6auhust. I was very happy until i open netflix ,it has vert bad black crush issue even at full brightness ,in 50pecent brightness colour washed out heavy black crush issue is this hardware or software issue??anyway im just gonna refund ....but i asked some of YouTubers they have none issue ,but for fellow customers only have this😓. I decided to live with this but some of units have no issue why i wanna live with this issue for years so i try to get refund and but 12gb varient.
In YouTube crush issue is little low when compared to netflix and amazon prime ,rather than that this dev is beast 😍

Also I need to stress this out, the Rog3 is absolutely not worth buying for normal consumers. The phone is more for enthusiasts that know what their are doing. Most issues you find here on the forums are mostly user caused because the phone has so many features and settings where users can fk somethnig up.

Also never buy a phone because you think it's fixable in the future, buy a phone youll be happy with from the getgo and if it has issues that you can live with it. Just because it's fixable and will most likely be fixed in the future, doesn't make it near future.

What is your opinion on Rog 3 latest update on Dec 2020? Does it gets better? or not? Also does black crush issue happen when you use for gaming?.

If you game horror games or Minecraft yes,but for the popular games like pubg Cod or genshin impact it's performance and colours are better than even the 12 pro max

It happens when you see something dark,when for example you mine in a cave in Minecraft,boom,black crush

Most games have some sort of gamma setting, minecraft isnt an exception, change the gamma on minecraft and the black crush should go away.

Not at all, it's in game. In minecraft specifically you can use the setting in the config.
