Hey Everyone,
I am planing to buy ASUS ZenFone Max PRO M1 3GB/32GB
the thing is the camera improved after updates?
and the phone support any kind of AI?
for front or rear camera?
and is the audio quality via headphone jack good enough??
and i saw in a tech reviewers video that its gonna get EIS(Electronic Image Stabilization)
so is it true?
& is there any awesome rom that is perfectly working with the phone
and does any rom supports EIS
I will use the phone for PUBG,YOUTUBE,CALLING,CAMERA,XDA ROMs,MUSIC(around 2gb files) Flashing ROMs and nothing else just these apps so is the
3/32 GB enough??
and also suggest me links to buy
TAMPERED GLASS
Battery is great 10h sot easily with 2 days usage calling video calling and browsing chating . Phone is smooth and fast. Does not heat. Camera is not upto mark. Good in light and night its really bad.
Redmi note 5 pro/ai is way better
I play RULES OF SURVIVAL, and it plays flawlessly on my M1(3gb). Camera is 6/10. For YouTube, music, calling etc its best 10/10 , as screen and speaker is too damn good for the price.
Fantastic phone under 11K
5000mAh battery + SD 636 + 18:9 beautiful screen + Pure Stock Android experience + triple slots + dual 4g, What else Do you need?
Also asus is providing regular updates to improve it's camera. But I can't find them helpful.
Also, this device is based on stock Android so the Multitouch bug is there. Which is really annoying.
But If you have 15K to spend and if you love selfies and MIUI, Redmi Note 5 Pro is best option for you.
But for 11K this device is awesome ( I hate those bugs and camera app but I love this device?)
Recently rooted my M1 and enjoying
1.Gcam with lense , panaroma , stablized video @60fps etc.
2.Live wallpapers
3.Root exclusive NOVA Launcher feature.
Now mobile feels like a flagship , Gcam is must for this mobile.
One last thing that I personally want is Slow Motion video @ 240fps (either be it in low resolution) support.
I had it on my LG G4 2 years prior to this device, though the resolution was less that 720p .
I would be greatful if anyone can some how port it Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. @Arnova8G2
have you asked Arnova8G2?
Hi
Can you post some sample result videos please
I'm looking to purchase the Zenfone Max Pro M1 and was wondering which version (4 or 6GB RAM) has better camera sensors and with GCam support/compatibility?

Of course, go for 6 GB it has 16+5 MP setup with better apparature.
Gcam doesn't work on 6gb regardless of what version you try, capture button greys out after few clicks, sound quality is really poor on headfones. Camera and screen is below average and design is really outdated.
Only thing that is good in phone is super smooth to use on stock os and great battery life, rest sucks. I'd suggest go for note 7 or note 7 pro. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have read the GCam threads in the apps section and most are saying there is green tint in the front camera, capture button greys out and app force closes, is this the same for the 4GB version too?
I like the Zenfone Max Pro M1 due to the 5000mAh battery whereas the Note 7/Pro only has 4000mAh.

Their is just 45minute screen on time differnce between azmpm1 and RN7p
My advice would be go for RN7p or azmpm2
BTW the 4GB model camera is somewhat inferior without Gcam the quality of images is very poor

I think the screen on time will be more than an hour as the M1 has slightly smaller screen and 1000mAh more battery as I don't game on the phone, only browsing and social media apps.

I did look at the Zenfone Max Pro M2 but I don't like the notch and with no option in the software to hide it.

I know the stock camera app isn't that good even though Asus released a lot of updates relating to the camera but is there a stable GCam version for the 4GB variant?
@Camack , I've 3GB variant so I can't help you on that.
But if you are planning to purchase AZMP M1, then my suggestion would be go for newer piece like AZMP M2 or redmi N7pro or any other you wish. :good:

The 3GB version has the same camera sensors as the 4GB, is there a stable GCam version you are using?

Right now I'm using Arnova's 5.0.18 V8. 3 build.
Everything is working.

Just to confirm, this is the GCam version you are using (GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1)?
There are no green tint in the front camera, capture button greys out and app force closes problems?

Maybe they are using good sensor now after much criticism.
Combined with 6 inch display and poor camera sensor
my phone was performing worse than redmi 4
But it has too much devlopment although after some time battery feels like it is of 4000ma
Yes

What I experienced is the opposite. Gcam works on the 6GB variant, but not the 4GB variant(which I returned later).
This Youtuber shares the same result too.

In 6gb version gcam versions starting with 5 . are working fine . no issues at all except slow-motion ,, the issues are with gcam version 6 . some versions from some developers are working fine everything is ok like nightsight ar stickers , but some blackout will occur during usage like shutter button failed to capture green tint issues are solved ,. but its working fine in after we clear the cache of the app . if we sent the log to those developers may be they can fix these issues . right now I am not using gcam because camera2api not able to activate it in pie beta .
6GB Version has better camera and the stock camera is better in daylight and some scene .
after pie there is a performance bump and battery usage time increased . when i purchased i got around 6 hr of screen on time , now i am getting around 9 hrs and 2 day standby with remaining 20 or 10 left ,
the issues with the beta is
less output on speakers
no camera2api
some UI glitches and app crashes .
sound got changes while we switches into apps .eg if we are watching movies then a call comes and we are answering in the same time if we switches to mx player or any app the sound will increase respectively ..
these are the noticed issues .
device has a great hardware quality compared to redmi devices but lack of software optimizations .

Not only so, the 6GB M1 has both cameras upgraded, 16MP front and 16MP back.
I have 6gb and I used gcam and it was flawless, also 5000 mAh battery is clearly better than 4000 + ads built in system are well....

Agree 6GB version is better. But I found that the gcams I've tried can't take photo if HDR is disabled, and the problem gone when HDR or HDR+ is enabled...
I'm using stock rom, did you have this problem? Can you recommend a gcam with front and back cameras working and night sight working, and can take photo without HDR and HDR+?
Thanks
Hello all,
My mum uses a Asus Zenfone Pro M1 (Non Pro) device for past two years and obviously the software on it is utter rubbish, so I was looking in the used market to grab a Pro M1 model as it has better hardware and obviously stock android. I bought one at fair enough price but today after receiving the device I see that the phone takes horrendous photos, compared to the Non Pro M1. I have to take a lot of photos of documents, and all the photos significantly lack details, especially at the corners! The Non Pro M1's photos are much sharper, to a shocking extent. I tried a GCam mod but it's the exact same as default stock camera found on stock A10 ROM!
Here are two comparison photos. Please have a look at these and confirm whether I have a dud camera or is it something else.
