========================================
Basically title. Is it still worth it to purchase one if I can get it at a reasonable price? Or should I just wait for the 5? I'm worried they might stop supporting the 3 soon after the 5 drops. Any opinions would be appreciated, would like some advice before dropping $1k on a phone

ah fair haha

well i will definitely recommend that you see if it has any information under system update - if not than it may be a tencent device flashed with WW rom which can cause a lot of issues, unless you 100% trust the seller that it was brought in a store and not online 🙂

VoLTE still might not be a thing where you are, but if you pester ASUS enough it may get added 😛

other than that, i honestly reckon its still a good deal, its less than a year old, the camera is ehhh but its not horrible

your call, but id say do it! 😄

He sent me pictures of the box and everything. It's the triangular shaped box. It says Republic of Gamers on the back instead of Tecent Games. I assume it's the global version, but I could be mistaken. Comes with the cooler and everything. So yeah, I might end up doing it. Hopefully t mobile (my service provider) will accept the phone.

One thing you have to remember is the 3 comes with A10 out of the box and the 5 is said to be A11 out of the box,so the 5 will go up A13
