========================================
so after I got my phone back after almost 2 months and multiple visits and escalations at the service center, I finally got my phone back charging and they said that the only fix they made was update the firmware. took 2 months for them to figure it out. but then after coming home to fully test the phone since I did not have any apps on it due to factory resets multiple times. I noticed that the fingerprint was not allowing me to register any fingers and to check if it matches my motherboard was replaced, i downloaded cpuz for android and it showed me only 12GB of ram. mind you that this was 16GB before repairs and it shows in the box and in the RMA details as well. now it only shows 12GB in cpuz and in settings>about phone> hardware as well. can someone advise me? it has been frustrating trying to get this fixed as I was told by the service center that software was not part of warranty. do you guys expect us to make our own software if the one provided doesn't work?

Got the phone back, still told them I would sue. With the 12GB ram the IMEI was also changed which further proved the motherboard was changed. I told them I have proof of everything yet they lied in the technical report which did not mention anything about the ram and the IMEI. I am going to sue but the problem is that our country really does not notice the consumer rights hence it might go unactioned.
