[PSA] Take caution - Tencent-branded Chinese models with "Global/International ROM"

[CH_ASUS]

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.

The add, included accessories, pricing and prisma packaging all point towards the global version though.

Too much of copying and pasting going on and I doubt the sellers pay much attention to those details

They sell the tencent edition in another add: https://mx.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009841057667.html?wid=1349303.
So the add posted is almost definitely the global one but it's better to ask them instead of us.

Everything indicates that it is the global version, they have confirmed me by mail. I will send a direct advice to Gearbest to verify warranties. Than you for read. 😄 Happy holidays.
