Now time has come, #nomorerog

[jogeshvilluri]

No more rog phones suggested , no wifi calling feature for most networks, no security updates, no software updates, no self service centers, nothing but a fake gaming experience , take a bow asus for you software team, just showing some specs with two triggers and faking all other things, we could compare it with cheaper companies who are doing much better than asus, but i wont , i thought its reputation of laptops did carried through these gaming phones but they are using the gaming laptops reputation to get their days passed , but surely it will be the end of the era of rog phones if they continue treating the customers the same manner, no matter what brand you may be , you need the trust of customers,, orelse just go shut down your factory,
No official cases available for rog2 yet, after these many years , joke? Thats it no more rog #nomorerog will be trending in future

I thought it was ROG 5, but we were talking about ROG 2 lol.

To be honest, I won't call it a gaming hardware if the specs are as normal to other phones. Maybe for casual gaming, but definately not for hardcore gamers.

Yeah, because 8GB/128GB is pretty much the same like other phones. I think it's because buying this variant give them the ROG experience/Casual Gaming/Cheaper so it is good for what they are using it for.
Whereas Pro or Ultimate, I think people will choose these variants for further performance or what they have experienced before. So I think people are trying the phone out. I mean my ROG 2 is working great still.

@Anders_ASUS can you provide some deadline for this #Airtel wifi calling #VoWifi in Asus devices.
If these guys (refer screenshot), which are very big company can, why can't a small company like Asus can't?

Deadline as if the manufacturers like Asus has a say when this can be done by. There are various reasons to this.
Carriers will go for the popular phones because it brings income. So competing the likes of Samsung's, OnePlus and upcoming Xiaomi and Realme because it is a cheaper option is going to seriously hamper when this can be done for Asus. This is one example where Asus do not have control of timelines. Probably some sort of contracts and costs need to be agreed.
Testing such as field testing at different sites, environment conditions and the different scenarios needs to be tested. I don't believe these are Asus testers but probably an external companies to do these testing (but this is where I am not sure and it doesn't make sense for Asus to do the testing as it is less efficient on cost). As you would imagine, external companies will need to go through a cycle of agreeing to contracts, cost. Don't forget about bug fixing by Asus as a result of testing.
As we are talking about India here, Monsoon seasons will also need to be evaluated.
Again, Asus doesn't have control over the testing and of course the weather.

After testing, it needs to go through various approval, in which case the phone model will get certified to be on VOLTE. There is a very good reason why the phones need to be certified. Again, there will be popular phone manufacturers who would get their approval first before other unpopular phones.
In addition to this, you have the pandemic. Unless you still have teams working during this terrible time, you are no doubt have further delays.
I have no doubt probably missed out pieces to this and time is just added on. With the above and counting the number of tests, cycles to get these tests right, multiply this by the number of test sites, the seasons, it is not a years task. This is in absence of contracting, agreeing cost and getting in line first beating competitors.
So yeah, expect further waiting....
