Want to buy Zenfone 6 but worried about motherboard issue.

I'd really like to get this phone, but I'm concerned about the motherboard issue. I live in Japan but would be buying the North American version of the phone because I travel between the two countries occasionally and that's the version that has the most frequency bands I need. If the phone has the motherboard issue this would make it very complicated to repair, though. I'm willing to wait a bit, but would that make a difference? I don't know if the ones being manufactured now are any different than the ones from before they knew there was a motherboard issue.

You have no worries about getting a faulty board fixed. That's assured. You wouldn't be paying for any shipping and most time, ASUS is shipping it to and from with overnight shipping. I'm sure if you have an issue with the mobo, their parts should be more available and reduce any wait times.

I highly doubt they will be shipping internationally with over night shipping. I'm not overly concerned about the price of shipping to them, but I would be very concerned if they expected me to pay shipping back which is also possible if they even honor a US warranty shipped from Japan.

As nice as the one plus 7 looks, it doesn't have a headphone jack which is one feature I want.

I've had two of them and they were fantastic for the combined 4 days that they worked.
