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.
Of course they do. People today confuse most online arguments for people being knowlegable within their field with people being knowlegable on winning the same argument over and over.
That is why any debate over here is not to be taken seriously. Let the source hoarders have their fun, its not your game.
