Well,the reason is that all of the rog phones die after some time,the motherboard goes bye bye,the service team doesnt really care about getting the product 100% fixed,0 customer support and now my charger is not working.Why would I ever buy this phone again when the quality is 0 for the price that it asks?

not quite true, the original rog (while build quality is very meh) and the Rog3 are quite stable and generally don't die on their own. Only the Rog2 and Rog5 are the ones that die on you even if you're careful with the phones.
That being said I warned people about the Rog5 but they would all brush me off as a hater and purchased the Rog5 anyways. Asus did some changes rather quickly on their new motherboard revisions so they do care, however I believe that the Rog5 is beyond saving at this point, it was just to rushed.
ASUS is a company that does this kind of thing in every single segment, they try new things, screw up and try to fix it afterwards, if they can't, they move on. ASUS has some of the crappiest proudcts I've seen in a very long time but at the same time they also have the most magnificent products. ASUS is known for having the literal worst X99 motherboard on the planet but are also known for the absolute magnificant technology work of ASUS Dominus W3175X, they are known for the crappiest strix overheating notebooks, but at the same time are known for the magnificent ASUS studio book and ROG Mothership.
ASUS does learn, the Rog5 was a disaster, they rushed it and wanted to be the first SD 888 phone due to having the title of the "fastest phone". This is also why I'm personally very excited about the Rog6, as ASUS did not rush this time, they're taking their sweet time, first SD 8 gen1 phones already out and we haven't heard anything from ASUS yet, which indicates ASUS does focus on quality control. I assume they learned a lot working together with qualcom making the ASUS SI. If the Rog6 is anything like the ASUS SI, then were in for a treat, potentially phone of the year.
