I'm actually curious if the moderators here still read the comments or if they relay any positive and negative feedback to the development team.
The ROG Phone 5 is near perfect especially as an entertainment device but misses the mark when it comes to actual phone functionalities. The device was in my radar as my dream phone because of the 3.5mm headphone jack and front facing stereo speakers but I'm seeing complaints about phone functionality like VoLTE and 5G not working.
It would be great if moderators can communicate with the developers and be transparent with some of the network issues and shortcomings that the ROG Phone 5 has.

Thermal throttling, 60c ambient, bugged software causing all sorts of weird behaviour such as massive battery drain on idle, headphone not working as intended etc., no VoLTE, ViLTE, one of the most fragile phones in 2021, very bad camera setup for the pricerange, no wireless charging, to name a few issues. I wouldnt call it near perfect, while it does have some good points, there certainly are a ton of flaws as well. Currently especially durability is a concern of the rog5. Considering that 2g/3g networks are switching of in many areas, not having VoLTE and ViLTE is a rather big problem.

Asus has always been slow to add carrier support worldwide for stuff like volte
Check before buying if your local carrier is supported if not it's just luck if they'll add it in future
Asus launches a ton of different versions I saw like 6 or 7 this year all with different band supports check em out on their site
