Scratched Screens on meanwhile 3 ROG Phone 2 devices

[Psy-Virus]

Hey there,
after some back and forth shipping of devices because I thought my first problem could be fixed by sending my phone back to my service provider: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/40748
I now received two phones and both have scratched screens out of the sealed box. The first one did also but I didn't note this to the service provider.
I also noticed that the phones are not send with any screen protection so they can move in the box and all hard enough particles can scratch the screens. Or maybe this happened in the manufacturing process?
The scratches are really thin but good to see with bare eyes. This should simply not happen on a device that's so expensive!
Also ASUS was ALWAYS a synonym for quality for me. I buy and recommend ASUS products since the pentium 3 era. This is a long time. And of course I will do it further in the future.
So, is this something, other people encountered? Or did you even check for that?




And this is just one device. Again, I don't think that ASUS doesn't care. But mistakes are there to be fixed. So please use a screen protective layer of some kind before you ship something to your customers!
Is it also maybe possible for the mods and admins here to reach out to some person in charge and make this problem aware to them?
Have a nice day

The phone will already be covered in plastic cover .

How did that scratches enter the screen and also Rog 2 has GORILLA GLASS 6 protection on front .

It's very difficult for it to get scratched. Even i am playing games and using this mobile without using screen protector still there is not even a single scratch i could see when i clean my phone

A plastic cover / bag with more than enough room for dust / sand / metal particles.
The dust just had to enter the room between the plastic "bag" and the screen surface. And then by sliding the phone, screen down, into the box, this could have happened. Or maybe while they were manufacturing the phone and had it laying screen down on the table.
As you can see, these scratches are not that deep and especially on the second photo there is a pattern of two parallel scratches that look like the phone was moving over something.

I would say it's a matter of quality control. Mine came in mint condition and I was positively surprised by the premium feel and look on the phone as on YouTube videos it didn't look that good. But there is definitely a place for improvement in quality control. Those scratched phones should never left the company. Also Akash Gupta said his phone got scratched in the pocket. I have it since October, have no screen protector, just use the case which came in the box and doesn't really cover much. I take it in the pocket as well on a daily basis, play a lot is Asphalt and the phone looks like it just came from the factory. I wonder if the are all made in the same quality?

I have the Indian version which i ordered from flipkart (Indian asus seller) and most of the people even my friends who bought the phone are afraid to use the phone without screen protector as they had small scratches on the glass. maybe it's because we indians have rouch pockets ? who knows

Yeah, My thought also was that this happened during the manufacturing. As you can see on the second photo, there are even scratches in parallel. Looks like there were some metal or dust/sand particles on the manufacturing station/table.

Would you also buy a new car for the full price if you see scratches, just to fix them later? 😉

In my opinion, things like that shall not happen, especially on premium devices. The interesting thing is that I didn't discover any scratches on the back. They were all just on the screen. And I repeat, on 3 devices. But never the same scratch pattern.

That's just something, ASUS has to pay attention to. Like I said before, the ASUS brand is kind of a synonym for quality for many people. I have ASUS hardware that's more than 10 years old. It still works like the first day and only one time had to return a Motherboard because of a bad sound chip.

Totally agree but if the screen is great other than the scratch then I would just grab a Quixx Glass scratch remover and polish it out if the scratch isn't too deep to fix. Great screen meaning there is no grey uniformity issue.

The question you should be asking is what is in the pocket of the user. You are still able to get some scratches on a gorilla glass 6 depending on what's rubbing on it. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof but scratch resistant.

I am using the Indian version for the last 4 months and i used without any back protection and screen protection for 2 months and i travelled a lot and yes i did put it in my pocket along with other random stuff but never with keys , the screen does not have a single scratch till now . But i do have a high end screen protector now ( didn't wanna push my luck ?) . I believe it is gorilla glass 6 and it is tough .
