[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.

Hey man, the problem is this wasn't Asus's fault because it was made known to people that the tencent edition is made only for China.

Unfortunately you have unethical sellers who probably run their business at home or at a small street shop with only a laptop. Anyone can open up the original packaging, tinker around with the phone put the phone back in the box and reseal it and sell it online again....and just put up false advertisement.

I am from Singapore and I almost fell victim to this so called scam...but I decided to wait for the official one even though I saw so many people on youtube reviewing the phone already...It was a long wait but it was worth it.

Lesson to learn from all this is, wait patiently and if the price is too good to be true! don't buy it!

Vc claramente é pago pela azus para ficar defendendo em todos seus comentários. A empresa não é inocente, nenhum aparelho foi fabricado na rua, os clientes que acreditaram nas marca merecem respeito e uma solução

Could I have my serial number checked to see if I got the original version?
