Pros and Cons

Pros3

Flagship phone with lots of options to fettle to your liking without having to sell your house to buy one. Battery life isn't spectacular but, liveable. No complaints with phone or vendor. First impression is, love it.

I upgraded from the pixel 5a because the motherboard failed. Easily transfered all data from my old cell to this phone in a matter of minutes. To transfer apps it says to use a usb cable with usb c on one end and whatever fits your old phone on the ot...  Read More

Camera app opens and focuses instantly. They want you to use their cloud, because of course they do!

The fingerprint sensor is super reliable and quick, it unlocks the first time every time. It even has some really cool features like a screenshot button in the notification menu/bar. Clean and stock android experience with minor asus specific nuances ...  Read More

The rma process is extremely confusing. The listing still says that if pre-ordering by 10/15, that we'd receive a pair of the asus earbuds. It clearly states in the details that it is, so obviously that's quite misleading and i'm very disappointed.
