Should I buy Asus Zenfone Max pro M1(6gb) or Realme 2 pro (6gb)? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

I'm having confusion between Realme 2 pro and Asus Zenfone, because Asus has got a massive battery (5000 mAh) and (Snapdragon 636), whereas Realme 2 pro has (Snapdragon 660), but a very low battery (3500 mAh) considering the processor. And I specifically want to buy a phone for gaming (PUBG, Asphalt 9 etc).

I will stick to ZMP M1

Serious Network bug in Max Pro M1.
Even with better reception.

Get poco, not much price difference and superior in every possible way.

If you are not fan of notch you can go with asus zenfone maxpro m1 but wait max pro m2 just got announced

When can you share details

I would suggest Zenfone, because:
1. Notch displays are not good for gaming & watching videos (for obvious reason - display cutout, so some contents won't be visible).
2. M1's 5000 mAh battery performs very well. You can play for much longer time.
3. SD636 is just Underclocked SD660. And there's Overclocked kernel available for M1 to match the performance. So there won't be, if not then slight performance difference.
Neither Asphalt 9, nor PUBG lags on M1. I personally play Asphalt 9 with High graphics, and PUBG with HD graphics + Extreme FPS. There's no lag or heating issue.

For gaming i recommend you real me 2 pro
For long term gaming asus m1
Build is plastic on real me while metal in asus
Stock android is in asus while buggy color os is in real me which is not properly optimised.
Rest is you choice. I would go for m1 pro its available for very cheap rate in sell

You want that color os for life???
The hardware of realme2pro is good...
SD660..
Faceunlock via IR
But you will never be able to flash any custom rom or even root any oppo device because they do not make the kernel sources publicly avaliable...i.e---No developer community/Roms/custom kernels/Root
And..... Color os is very heavy and performace will be compromised
Go for asus

It is not publicly out yet

If you are primarily into gaming, then Max Pro 6GB any-day. The ColorOS is bloated and not properly optimized.

Wait for few days.. I'm guessing 'Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2' is launching...
(pic attached)

I have very simple answer for you:
If you consider yourself well versed with Android don't buy any device which has ColorOS or else you will regret.
Reasons:
It will give a constant flashing banner on your statusbar as soon as you enable Developers option, accessibility for any app, Mobile Hotspot, etc. and force you to shut them down.
You won't see any notification icons if the device has a notch (even realme 2 pro although it has very small notch).
Usb debugging will auto disable within 10 minutes of non-usage (it will anyway get disabled as the OS will keep on flashing banner until you disable Developers option).
No bootloader unlocking for any Realme device as of now.
These are few of the worst issues in ColorOS 5.2 right now.

Brother you should get realme 2 pro

If you can live with ColorOS and don't mind a smaller battery, go for Realme 2 Pro.

I used Asus Zenfone Max pro me 6gb after using OnePlus 5 8gb. Honestly saying Asus got good network reception than OnePlus 5 >> + asus has massive battery, pubg and asphalt 9 runs extremely well on balanced graphics and high fps. I don't know why people says that Asus Zenfone Max pro has bad network reception. I stay in a very off network place, but I still get good network reception.

It's happening for some people unfortunately.
For wifi I can wholeheartedly confirm.
Surprised that you have better reception on ZMPM1 than OP5. Good for you.

For people buying 15k phones, 7k would be regarded as much of a price difference.
Agree regarding the value part though.
Also superior in every possible way!?
Miui and notch ? (just kiddin)

Real me 2 probhas 5 main problems
1 sd660 is underclocked like 636
2 screen is tft very old technology
3 body is platic not glass or metal
4 color os is not very good for multitasking and not optimised. Apps getting reload modtly.
5 slow updates

Im also a victim of network issue.
Very poor.
I still remember some Youtuber mentioned that this **** has great cellular call quality.(when i was planning to buy).
[Reception is good but this ****s modem is crazy,call and internet drops like hell].
I choose this piece of crap over RN5 Pro,and that was such a mistake if feel pitty in myselves.
I want to trash it by using a sledgehammer, nothing less

Lenovo Vibe P1

The Lenovo Vibe P1 just launched a week ago,
Thinking to buy this device but,
It seems rumor mill has already started churning, about the device facing a "Heating issue".
The device is pretty great for a low ranged smartphone with,
Android v5.1 (Lollipop) OS
4900mAh, Quick Charge
Fingerprint Reader NFC
13 MP PDAF f2.2 Camera
5 MP f2.8 Camera
Dual Sim (LTE + LTE)
5.5 inch FHD 1080p Touchscreen
1.5 GHz Snapdragon 615 64-bit Octa Core Processor
Expandable Storage Capacity of 128 GB
can someone who owns/ knows someone who does/ or expert reviewer , shed some light about this device's issues, especially the heating one? Thanks in advance
I am using one.. Got it yesterday only.. Using it continuously, but No heating issues till now.. But I don't play games and hence ymmv..
Could you test it with some standard games like Clash Of Clans, Asphalt or Modern Combat?
The Heating issue is over hyped on various sites, scared to buy it because of that.
Not Much of a Heater
The phone even after serious gaming for upto 45 mins doesnt go above 44-45 degs (Celcius). Dont worry, I was worried too, saw the gaming review with temp, & then placed the order. I'll be getting mine in a couple of days.
Thanks, was badly worried with the reviews saying the Lenovo Vibe P1 heats upto 50-55 Celsius on long calls and gaming.
how to root this??
Thank

How to root ??
I really want to root this phone
I tried kingroot and iRoot applications
Can anyone suggest a proper way to root this phone ?
Is there a separate FAST CHARGING option for charging?
or it's a separate cable or something?
I am using this phone and the only tim I get this heated up is when it is charging .... but again not more than 45 - 46 .. so this is a good phone and worth the money spent
Fantastic fone for the price. Cost me less than 200 dollars equivilant coupled with an exchange. Good performance. Excellent battery life. Fast charging. Colors and hues not as good as an OPO. Looks quite OK.
5.1.1 out of the box.
Hope developers develop interest in building Custom RoMs, other development support.

ASUS Zenfone 2 Deluxe Review

I have been using ASUS Zenfone 2 Deluxe from last 2 months and here is the detail review of the product.
According to me, this smartphone is best in performance and all thanks to 4GB RAM that divides the task.
Here is the detail video about it here:
It is just exactly the same as zenfone 2. The performance , specifications and every things are the same. except the back case......

Redmi Note 4 Pros & Cons Read before Purchase

Post Removed.. Due to Someone Copy My Article. my article available on my website Mod edit: Link removed
We are very Very Sorry..
Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain that we will never get the sources required for a proper custom ROM on this device, mainly because it is Mediatek.
Waiting for Redmi Note 4 Pro (Snapdragon)...
They will launch Snapdragon version in India due to patent issues with Erricson. So we might get our hands on the source code just like Note 3.

Ya you are right mediatek device is the main issue about this phone. one thing I have also notice camera quality is not much better
The Snapdragon 652 will be a beast on this phone, especially when the ROMs start rolling in.

So it's MediaTek? I have 3 MT devices, none of them have enough space in the user partition. I thought that was the reason why there were slow and unresponsive.
But these look a lot better than what I already have. Can they be rooted, do the standard recoveries show upside-down. CWM is easier to manage that way, but TWRP is difficult.

Mediatek device main problem is regarding enough space and fast access. I hope Redmi note 4 wiil work much better if a user can root this device & create SD partition .

Whats your budget? Are you going to order from a chinese shop or locally?
I think there are better options than these 2 phones. And this is like the worst period of time to buy urself a new phone. I would wait one more month to see the new arrivals.
Redmi note 4x 4g ram also seems pretty decent for its price range.

and also i thought:i dont need a new phone,just a powerful one with good battery,and i found this phone after 20days of searching
Alright so you want battery performance + speed that can pay off the money spent for the next 2 years atleast.
So you should aim for phones with:
1)4gb ram atleast
2) 14mm Soc or less so your battery doesnt drain fast.
Redmi pro has 3gb ram, an outdated soc and you will notice bat issues so i would avoid it.
Le max 2 is more of a jack of all trades, good battery, decent camera, good ram and soc. I would totally buy it over redmi pro. I think there is also better support for le max 2(xda..) so i think that it would be a better choice here. Also b20 band.
And finally there is rn4x. If i were you i would get rn4x. I prefer battery over performance. Just get the 4gb ram version. Last time i saw i think it was gearbest that sold it at a reasonable price.
So for 200 bucks i would go Rn4X> Le max2>rest

Rn4x has 4k mah bat with soc 625 and it will result in a monstrous battery. I feel that you wont be dissapointed. But i would still go for the 4gb ram version. You can also add SD slot, it has audio jack and its size is more affordable(5.5 to 5.7) compared to le max 2.

[Q] This device

Hi,
I currently using Le Max 2 4gb/64gb device as my daily driver and gaming. But i want to change to another device because of several issues.
1. I play pubg alot and my device is ok i guess to play pubg. I can run at hd and high without lag (only render/hiccup lag) but the problem is the thermal throttling, my device get hot pretty fast (sd820). So i have to play behind a fan Everytime my device gets hot.
2. Small battery. I need bigger battery.
3. No headphone jack. Tired of using Bluetooth headphone because i still need to charge the headphone.
So im thinking switching to asus zenfone max pro ml (budget phone price), i know that sd636 can run pubg pretty good. But after searching online reviews i found out most of users complaint about mobile data speed is slow. Asus zenfone max pro m1 have all solution to my above problems but if the mobile data speed is slow it's not good. So i have questions.
1. Is this true?
2. Is there any fix for this?
3. Does custom rom fix this problem?
4. All version of asus zenfone max pro m1 have this problem?
5. High ping all the time while playing pubg?
Thanks!!
Sorry for my bad english..
1. yes it's true
2. It seems to be fixed with last few updates
3. No problem in custom roms(currently on Aex pie)...performance and lte speed is good
4. Dont know about that
5. I got high ping on stock so switched to custom rom but now this problem has been fixed...
Asus max pro M2 launch is around the corner...wait for it...?
