    Probably because no one here cares about ASUS. It was only relevant because the Zenfone line was small. As soon as that returned to a normal (massive) form factor, any reason to buy an ASUS phone disappeared.

      It isn’t just about one company, but precedent. If today Asus can get away with this, other will look and copy the behavior. Apple and Samsung started a lot of anti-consumer precedents and no one can sure Asus isn’t the next.

        No one is copying ASUS, they are an irrelevant company with a tiny market share.

        Name and shame everywhere you can, leave comments, reviews everywhere, make sure they know how pissed you are. If you’re within the return window I’d say just return it with that reason.

      And they have a jack. And I think they had the phone with the single camera right? I don’t need a front one. That was a cool feature.
