I also have used an old TouchWiz Samsung tablet, and I didn't like that either (to be fair, no one did). I won't claim to completely love Google's Pixel UI either, or the stock UI that is almost the same as that, since Material Design is way too flat as a design philosophy, but it's at least so much snappier and easier on the eyes than OneUI. Also, OneUI makes plenty of terrible UI and UX decisions, and so as much as I value its extensive customisability (at least when not compared to KDE Plasma on Linux) that Google lacks, there's no way to solve most of those issues. Google has its own issues, but they are mostly minor compared to Samsung's ones.
Also, I know plenty of people who own more expensive Samsung phones with OneUI, and having handled their phones as well, I can safely say that I dislike OneUI a lot.

i would have easily bought this over the galaxy S24 as it's one of the only flagships with a headphone jack.
it was so easy for ASUS. all they had to do was allow us to unlock the bootloader and i could look past the lack of software updates. i would have had faith in the lineageOS community that they would support this device for many years to come. but instead, they want to drop support after 2 years and not allow us to install a custom ROM?
i am personally ok with a bigger phone, but they pissed off most of their customers by ditching compact phones. A$U$ screwed up. do they want to go the way of LG??

Cant stop laughing. Ppl here need to exit bubble and go to reality.
Samsung mobile business alone makes at least 5x more revenue than entire Asus. Now imagine Asus phone business, small part of that.
Still they somehow think Asus can afford giving 4 androids to the phones.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This phone has the potential to be a legend, I just wish it had more software support. It combines hardware prowess and battery life with nostalgic design language, and it even keeps the headphone jack!

Nowadays you can get pretty fluid everyday perfomance from mid-range phones, the thing that separates those from flagships is the camera performance. So if this one's camera is average , and it throttles because it doesn't have the cooling to match the performance, who is it for? If i wanted an average camera but fast everyday perfomance and some solid gaming I'd take something like the Poco F5, this one is too close to some seriously impressive phones

I absolutely agree with the comments regarding this phone being terrible in comparison to its past phones and it seems like the term gets tossed around very loosely these days but worse yet it's just another example of phone makers being unoriginal and boring.
Firstly there is absolutely no excuse for phone makers to not add and support external memory. We were once told it was because it was slow and impacted the performance of the phone. This was an outlandish lie but made worse by the fact that memory cards are now quite capable of transferring files at speeds similar to and above SATA SSD drives which is fine enough to transfer data and work as even a primary drive without causing any issues.
There is little reason to buy this phone over the next phone unless you are hellbent on being brand loyal to ASUS as they are all pretty similar and boring these days. Nobody is trying to do anything better or different and worse yet putting in the least effort possible and earning as much as possible.
No charger is another decision in the long line of lies we are being sold much to the same as the external memory issue. It's just another way for them to charge you more for another product or an upsize of internal storage space.
The flip camera was a neat design that eliminated the need to a notch or camera hole on the front of your screen whilst also providing the absolute best camera possible for front facing pics/recordings. If they worked at it then it could have also fit well into the vlogging scene also in some instances.
Interesting ideas, research and development costs money but yields greater products but sadly the mass boneheaded audience will likely buy anything companies put out just for street credit as is abundantly obvious in regards to the fruit branded products that people lap up year after year just to keep up with the next person.
