    I was expecting something like $15 to deter script kiddies that are following outdated/misleading/incomplete YouTube flashing tutorials and will end with a brick but $200???

    It’s a giant “FUCK YOU” to the paying customer. If it was me, I’d flip the phone on eBay and never ever buy anything from Asus anymore

      Yeah, $200 is like the price of a fully functioning entry level samsung A15/16 series smartphone which would get 5-6 years of updates! This is ridiculous. Being a niche brand and pulling these stunts is stupid.

        You can get a middle class phone for this money. That’s what I paid for my current phone and it’s just missing the AAA camera.
