Just sold my ROG 5 after a year and half because it won't connect to the wifi anymore. I tried to inquire how much would cost me to fix it and found out that it's pretty expensive to have it fixed with no guarantee that it would work like before. I was so happy and excited when I got it but I was extremely disappointed when this happened. Hate to say this but it wasn't worth it. Good specs but bad hardware.
PS: They told me to try to wait for a system update and see if it'll fix my phone's issue but I didn't. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK

Went for repair twice within 1 year warranty.
Issue: NFC stopped working. Sim 2 stopped working. Nfc never came back resolved despite being replaced. Service centre claims it's working. Never got my Google paywave wallet to work ever again.
Fast fwd past 1 year warranty period. Sim 1 also died. Tested the tray of another ROG5 and still didn't work so def hardware issue on motherboard.
Using it PURELY on wifi. Wifi starts connecting and disconnecting randomly on both bands.
While it worked it was great, gaming wise work wise. I will not buy another. Google pixel will serve a greater purpose

I got my phone at 2021 and honestly when i bought it i freaked out cos everyone is saying it'll die, wifi don't work and stuff like that and i was rly scared at the time but ive been using it for 2 years and nothing has broke, my battery is doing great with 5-6 hours of screentime (with the 30-40 mins charge thats a huge + for me) no wifi problems, no dying problem. Its a good phone and the people who has it and its fine usually dont write anything, to you guys that bought this phone and is now scared just chill most of the people that bought this phone is chilling and honestly its a great phone with great performance. i do have a tip doe, in armoury crate just set your battery setting to advanced and make it so that the gpu and cpu works with the lowest they got, i find this very good since playing games like hearthstone and mobile legends gets barely over 32° in an air conditioned room and also dont run the battery till it dies. sometimes it bugged and it seems dead but just try charging it for a while its fine. hope this review helps you

Same issues had happened with me before it died because the Snapdragon 888 chipset is the worst chipset of all time. It heats up so fast it kills your motherboard. That's why all ROG 5 series phones are dieing quickly. Don't use Asus phones anymore. They will disappoint you.

Is there anything that can help you? that's the case with ROG 5. I'm going to go with that chronology. Before I left, the wifi was still working, the data was still working. When I was there I only used data. When making the data smoothly, there are no problems. When I was there, I didn't use wifi, I only used data. So, when I got home, the wifi couldn't be turned on (when I turned it on, the wifi immediately turned off again). Can anyone help me or not? The cellphone every time there is an update, I always update it, it's never been in arrears. Before leaving until I got home I didn't update my cellphone at all because it had been updated a long time ago. But, the cellphone can use data, it can't just wifi. Please help.

I have this phone since August 2021. I have never encountered the type of problems mentioned by other users. My phone works just fine like 1st day. But now reading all this bad reviews I'm thinking about getting rid of it. Don't want to suddenly die on me

great colors at 144hz, excellent sound, I particularly like the size and weight, the large battery and fast charging are often useful + it was much cheaper than other similar phones

It eats way to much causing the cpu to burn. Just don't repair the phone but sell all the parts like screen or batter to local repair shops. I did the same because I didn't want to throw a beast into trash. I got 1/4 of the amount of original price. Something better than nothing right?

NEVER BUY ASUS ROG PHONES!
Do not buy ROG Phone 5, it is just over a year since I bought this phone. I purchased this phone as it seemed value for money. Wifi stopped working and now it would not even turn on. It is completely dead and useless. I visited the service center and they told me that my motherboard needs to be replaced. It did not bend, and it did not submerge in water but now I have to bear almost the same price for a new motherboard.
What do I do with air triggers, double batteries, double amplifiers, and 16 GB RAM ????
Paperweight? Maybe...

They will tell you there is a CPU problem and the whole motherboard needs to be replaced. And the cost of it is 90% of the total value of the phone which is insane. Never buy Asus products. The left side charging port is the main reason for damaging the cpu. So don't charge from that port.

Bought this unit around Nov 2021, just died randomly yesterday 23 Dec 2022 (1 month after the warranty is expired lol), couldn't charge the phone, power button doesn't work, it completely died for unknown reason.
My gaming usage? mostly only play very light anime gacha game, at best only Call of Duty for a hour max each day, always using the new AeroActive Cooler 6. The rest is just daily use like browsing web and watching Youtube. The temprature never exceed 40c. But the phone died regadless without any notice whatsoever. The thing i notice before it died is sometime i couldn't get any signal randomly for a several minute each day.
Stay away from this particular unit and buy phone else that doesn't died right after the warranty is expired.
