The thing I don’t like about Asus phone is that their phone come loaded with bloatware. Yes! They can be worse than Samsung. If Asus ever choose to goes stock with regular update especially at their present selling price it will be a great buy at least for me.
I have my fun with root now I tend to be less willing to root my phone because I like the assurance that non-root device offer. Most modern days app check for root and wants to enable their "enhance ability" which basically mean take control of my rooted phone.
