The Tencent version is 40% cheaper, but there's a catch - the software has been customized.

            "The vanilla Asus ROG Phone II with 12GB RAM and 128GB storage." is that a typo?

                  You can't add more RAM, or a microSD card (which honestly aren't big deals). Also, the only reason the Tencent version is cheap, is for a promotion and because it is a pre-order. The regular prices should go up after the pre-orders.

                  Even more disturbing, you also cannot unlock the bootloader, apply a custom recovery, root it, and use Custom Roms/Mods on this device. And I suspect that occurs for all the models ($500-$999). The only way around this is if everyone (thousands) makes a fuss about it collectively, and the negative press around it causes ASUS to fix the issue.

                  I know, it sucks : (

                    Brainiac88, 23 Jul 2019I thought affordable Tencent version price is 10 cents. :|It's fine with software u can install ROM for sure
                    With less price it's fine with me :)

                            8GB version cost over 300 euro less over 12-128/512GB version

                            What does it missing more in it ? Ram and storage should not cost so much

                              Phone looks good but still Nubia red magic cost less and is as good.
                              Same goes for blackshark 2.

                                We have a winner! If this comes to my country with that price, I'd surely get it

                                  I'm not paying a cent to a company who makes mediocre copies and takes user data from Epic Games Store.

                                  Well, it got cheap just because they removed the clean stock android for Tencent's bloated UI.

                                  I'm still gonna buy the $900 12GB/256GB.
