Hi all
We have come to notice there are resellers selling the so-called "Tencent ROG Phone II"-models for the Chinese market with "International ROM".
We would like to make clear that ASUS does not officially sell any Tencent-branded ROG Phone II with so called "International ROM" or "Global firmware".
We cannot guarantee the functionality of this combination , if you are facing any type of issues - please turn to your reseller where you bought this device - as this is is not a combination we are selling.
Please also take careful note that updates/FOTA functionality will be disabled since the ROM and the models dont match, some resellers note this in the fine-print.. some may not..
Extra info:
If you are seeing anything about a "Global ROM version" or "Tencent with Global/WW ROM" it would be a clear giveaway.

Hi.
I noticed that the position of the texts(imei number) on the sticker at the back of my ROG 2 is different from what i see on other ROG 2 phones.
Are there special format (indication) of the sticker at the back of the phone if it is 8gb/12gb ram or 128/256/512gb or 1tb storage?
