FunBike31Yeah for exclusive gaming 🙂 Not as a daily driver!ZTE-Nubia-Red Magic yes, a lot of countries are prohibited but usable except the United States (and Canada?) where operators are ubiquitous for certification on their networks.
That said, the number of negative points is extremely high.
I see Redmagic as a Disposable Device
- A major update
- 4 Security patches (3 first semester, 1 last semester)
- Core/Source available??
- Specific France, FR translation, 30-40%, better to leave the device in English.
Negative points
No consistency, RM7 top screen (brightness, 165 Hz, RM7s Pro Flop (very low brightness, 120 Hz) (no auto 60-90-120, manual choice)
Photo, video, the Rog 5 already not top surpasses it XXL
Selfie RM7 12 mpx > RM7s Pro 8 mpx already bad it's now bad
Loud but messy in-game audio
USB-C position not usable in games
Fan, the hum becomes noisy in games, headphones strongly recommended.
Positive points
60 fps constant Gensing Impact without overheating, without additional hardware, game time limited by battery capacity
Summary
Exclusive gamer, using it as a flashgrip is absurd, I haven't done enough research to know if the sources are available but haven't found so far, a major update without ever being able to optimize / correct it is too much crippling.
This is just a personal opinion

TrillGodreally happy that you got a somewhat good ending however,Ok guys here's my final update.. i'll try to be accurate as possible with the whole experience so that if someone in the future should go through something similar then i hope this thread would help.
Bought a Rog 5 and had been using it for 13 months (1 month past warranty), all of a sudden while playing codm.. the game, device.. froze up and it auto shut down. It refused to boot back up.. and after this, i plugged in the charger and to my surprise there is no LED light, holding down buttons (Volume, home) also didn't work. So this is where i suspected that something must be seriously wrong with the device.
The next day i make the decision of taking it to the authorized service center.. and i reach the place. Its about 10 mins away from where i live. (Lucky me i guess) So i walk in and the staff working there were very sweet and responsive. And i had to explain my problem to them about what's happening to my device, the front desk support executive after hearing my problem without much hesitation straight up said that its a mother board fault and its going to cost me 54K if i choose to get it replaced and serviced. I was level headed and did not lose my cool, i explained to them that its unfair and if it was under 10K or any lesser i would have probably considered it. But having such pricy spares isn't my problem. Also the problem was internal and i haven't dropped my phone in water.. it has no cracks, dents, scratches etc so it told them that i have taken care of my device very carefully.. isn't there any other way you can help me?
So the support executive first asks me to call a toll free number to check if they would be of any help and they obviously totally weren't. And post that i lost hope, because i wasn't really sure on how i was going to get this repaired.. then she proceeded to give me an email and asked to me to write a mail to asus requesting a repair for the problems with the phone. (She also told me, it wasn't the first time that such issue has happened to the rog5 device) Here's where my experience gets better, i write the mail explaining the issue and the regional officer for Asus responds, she helps by saying go back to the service center and submit your device for diagnosis. And the very next day i go back to the service center and show them the mail.. they acknowledge it and take my device for service.
They also mention that this mail allows them to generate a CASE ID through this they will be able to find out what's wrong with the device. All data will be lost because mother board needs to be replaced, and this service will be of 1 time warranty. In case if the owner has damaged the device physically like cracks dents and big scratches they will not be able to help. In case of an internal issue they will repair, replace for free of cost. Since mine was the mother board issue they ordered spares and repaired my device. I was receiving timely updates through email and SMS. So i receive an a SMS saying my device is ready for pick up, and i go there finish the formalities and check the device thoroughly it feels brand new and much smoother for some odd reason. Thermals are better and it feels solid.
And the best part is, it didn't cost me anything. It was free. Thanks for reading whoever it is, and i hope this helps. Cheers! 🙂
