There have been several instances where the charging circuit has likely burned out.
In recent weeks, several cases like yours and / or relating to charging, the smartphone no longer charges, the led does anything, the smartphone indicates that it is charging but does not do it, it no longer charges with some chargers that were not a problem before (these chargers work well on other smartphones). In short, hardware problems and now a lot of software load problems, arrived with the .176 update and maybe with the early .151 where I saw the first ones.
I remember that when there is a major hardware problem on a series, the ASUS support policy is disastrous and unpleasant. (Wifi and Rog 5 hotspot), (Ramdump, Rog5, Zenfone 8).
For flashgrips, the choice is important, no smartphone is immune to a hardware problem and especially software, we must therefore examine how the manufacturer's support works rather than the characteristics, Asus certainly does not come out on top. .
For the Games game, the number of manufacturers can be counted with the fingers of one hand and no smartphone meets the specifications of a hardcore gamer. The Rog 5 seemed to me the most suitable but after 4 months of use it is not that.
there is too much negative point.
The snapdragon gets too hot and the fan has been removed from the package, at the cost of the rog 5 it's petty.
No keyboard / mouse / hdmi etc. desktop accessories.
No bonus gamer content worthy of the name.
No SdCard, redibitory, I will have to stick to my specifications and not ignore the presence of a sdcard.
Screen with rounded edges, it's fashion 😞 but here the curvature is XXL and it's really annoying for use in games)
It lacks two frequencies, a 30 fps for autonomy, a 90 fps for a large number of games.
The announced Battery of 6000, in fact 57xx and no concrete optimization since the release, or 7-8 months
The multitasking mode with 2 applications on the screen which is the Android standard (only one active application), Samsung and Xiaomi do better, it is really possible to have the 2 active applications.
The notification LED which will have been extremely useful for absolute emergencies configurable for one or more correspondents / phone number, this lack of configuration forces me to have 2 phones, or I deactivate all notifications and I miss the emergency, either the notifications are active and it is impossible to play.
And finally the stability and the speed of the corrections, it's not really bad but it's still insufficient
Conclusion, is Asus to recommend, as a multi-purpose smartphone, certainly not the Rog5, as a gaming smartphone, there is none on the market according to my criteria. But I must be the only user with several smartphones, one for current use and a dedicated game that should replace a PS5, Switch .... but that doesn't exist yet.
