ZenFone 11 ultra megathread

Is this the death of their compact flagship ??..Shame if is..

FYI: Zenfone 8 got 2 years of software support and they forcefully closed down the ability to root it almost right after support ended, even lying they will turn it back on to no avail.

I do not recommend anyone to choose an Asus as their next phone. Im ashamed I bought so much Asus PC parts since.

I didn't watch or read anything yet, but there's one thing I know about Asus phones: they look great on paper, they kind of suck ass in the real world. Heres why:

Shit software support with updates that break stuff every single time, and after the first year it's even more of an afterthought for them

They promised over a year ago they would bring back bootloader unlocking, we still have nothing

Hardware can brick itself overnight (look for Zenfone 8 Ramdump issues, this is due to a bad soldering of ram chips iirc, they did nothing to address this publicly)

They are sold in like 2.5 countries

Lots of people complaining about their customer service

They are very expensive for what they offer

Would not recommend. My Zenfone 8 lasted a year and a half before I could not use it anymore because of the worn out battery, and I kept it between 20 and 80% as much as I could. You may tell me that's normal for batteries to wear and that this phone was not the best on battery, but my point is more that there is virtually no way to get replacement parts outside of shady sellers on AliExpress, and I am NOT putting an AliExpress battery in my pocket.

Shit of a company with what they did with bootloader unlocking. Never.

Thank you for the thread, I was about to post Tech Spurt review

I don't trust any phone this company makes after what they did to bootloader unlocking.

How many updates?
