Yes it is. Worked great for about 24 hours and then just now the screen was flashing like something was trying to load and was getting blocked. Scrolled down and sure enough there's that damn A S U S advertisement. 100% of the time my old phone starts wigging out on VN and that same dang AD is there.
Imagine if you actually bought one of those machines how much crap would be loaded on it that would collect info on you, try to sell you stuff, and/or direct you to certain websites, They probably make more $$$ on selling user data than they do on the markup of the original purchase.
