                I have this phone for 6 years until I throw it in the wall because I'm drunk and had an argument with my wife. Thanks Asus for years of service.

                  I bought this phone in January 2017 and it works till now (June 27th 2022). We can not compare this smartphone with today's phones and we all know the reasons. In my case, I don't use phone much, so I don't have issue to keep this gadget works all good its way. My experience:
                  - Camera was quite fine till 2 years it started blur full of ants you can say.
                  - You may feel iron in your palms during use this phone. It's trully hot.
                  - Power and volume button are now sinking (all of sudden after 5 years using) but still work, I just need extra deeper push.
                  - Battery performa decreased, fast charging and the power gone fast (happened since 2021, 5 years using)

                  The rest is fine according to its class.
                  I'll keep using this gadget till its very last day.

                      Type of battery of this phone is Li-Polymer not Li-Ion that mentioned above.

                        I bought this phone around November 2017, and I still use it today. I think this phone isn't that good if you compared with todays phone, but personally I really like this phone because it lasts for me until today. When the first time I bought it the battery is really good it lasts for 2 - 4 days depend how you use it (once I make a experiment, and it lasts for 6 days) I'm not lying it really good, the camera is good too, I'm not saying is the best but enough. Today, I only have a few problems with this phone one is the memory is almost full, and second is the accessories are really hard to find, especially those that original.

                          I have this phone for about 4 years, it's still working well but there are some issues in battery and touch screen.
                          It was a great phone and now it's time to change :)

                            Im using this fone for 4 years now. Still performing well. There's a battery issue but its a minor thing. It really depends on how you care for your fone.

                              i bought this phone in 2017, and still use it until now. The battery doesn't last that long after many uses compared to the first 2 year of usage, but the case of this phone is very durable and lasting. Once i accidentally drop it from like 2 -3 block of stairs and the screen didn't crack or the case crumble away. I was impressed and to not damage it further from accidental slips, i bought it an expensive rock hard case lol.
                              But, the speaker especially when you pick up a call is just bad. My friends always said that my voice from the phone cannot be heard. i cannot just put my ear to my phone to pick up a call, but i have to put my mouth next to the speaker to be heard.

                                Hot garbage. Was good for maybe a year or so, then the battery became horrible and the phone cannot really handle apps like tiktok well. Got a new phone and threw this one in the trash

                                  Has this for 3 years plus. Good phone for the price and always like the interface usage as well as the camera which provides many years of good pictures and where one can touch anywhere on the screen to take a picture instead of the normal touch button.
                                  Apps provided by ASUS are useful and handy.
                                  Only set back is after those faithful years, the battery is dying, perhaps as expected like other phone.
                                  At least it's not like my Sony Play, screen blackout and died exactly 2 years, as well the older Samsungs saying bye bye on their own.

                                    the most reliable phone ever. 6 yrs of Pokemon and ehailing (uber) and still original battery. few issue like touch light wouldn't stay on and asking for password instead of fingerprint while driving.

                                      I have this phone for 4 years it's the best phone I've ever had, the battery is my only issue it drains so fast that you'll be force to use it while charging.. my best advice is not to update the phone.
