========================================
Day 1 Of The Problem: (19 August, 2021)
My ASUS ROG Phone 5 was delivered to me on 5th June. I took extremely good care of it. While I was gaming today, it turned off all of a sudden. It wasn't even warm at the moment. I remember the battery was well over 50%. There is not even a single scratch on it and it has no physical damage or has never been dropped ever. I tried rebooting. 

Power on button, power on + volume down hold, power on + volume up hold, power on + both volume button. None of em worked. 

Plugged in the charger, the led indicator was also not working. 

I almost had an heart attack. I read on Asus rog forum that other owners of this device is also facing the same issue. Those of who faced it early, had it returned and those who faced later like me had to send to service center. As I read it's a faulty motherboard on this device. I am not sure though. I have applied for a pick up & drop repair service. It will take well over 25 days to get it repaired. My question is I paid 58 thousand rs for a device I can play games on and have fun not this headache.
I am a YouTuber, so I bought it to make high quality content. But this was not what I was expecting. It's been only 2 months since I got it for God's sake. 
It's under warranty so let's see what happens. I'll keep it updated. God bless me. ASUS ROG don't disappoint me any further.

Update 1 : Day 2 Of The Problem: (20 August, 2021)

I went to my local ASUS Service Centre. They checked my phone for any physical damage, since it's in pristine condition with only minor scratches on the tempered glass, they took it to send to the service station in Kolkata. It's about 200km from where I live. I had to sign a document stating some terms & condition. After all the paper work, I was informed it'll take around 10 days and I'll be notified via message and email the entire time and I can even track my device as it go. So that's preety neat. Let's see what'll happen next. I'll update as I get more info.

This happened to me 2 weeks after buying the phone. Since Rog phones here in Dubai is unofficially released locally and can only be bought from online stores, luckily I bought from a reputable online site and an actual Global version(not tencent version). They took my phone for investigation, checked if i dropped the phone or was water damaged - after 6 days, i was given a new phone. I hope this is something Asus can fix.

I had the same thing, the asus on the forum does not respond to this problem, and the asus in Israel does not want to change the device, this is a terrible service, I faced this for the first time, even Xiaomi has better service than asus .... basically now I will not buy not a single part asus, not a computer, not a phone

Same thing happened to yesterday.

My phone was dead when i woke up. So I put it on charging, when it was around 14%, I switched it on, It was acting normal until then, but after the rog logo flashed, it suddenly turned pitch black, not even charging LED was blinking.

It was a mini heart attack. I went to the asus service center, there were a little scratches on the phone, so they were telling me the display must be broken from inside, we have to open it and check. I am pretty sure, its not the display issue. becuz I had taken extreme care of it. and come on its gg victus dude.

But, the service center guy did something on my phone, and it went to the recovery mode like thing, i don't know what it was, but the display was working fine. So I guess, Its just a bad update, which was automatically installed overnight. But the service center guy, still insisted that he wants to open and check it, it was too fishy, but i had no option so I submitted the phone there. They will give me an update today.
