Is it possible to replace the wifi card to have one with 802.11ac wifi? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Hi
Would anyone know if it is possible to replace the wifi card of an Asus Zenphone Pro M1 (X00TDB) to have one with 802.11ac wifi?
Indeed, I read that its CPU is compatible with this wifi standard:
Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform | Qualcomm
The Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform is a powerful processor for high-tier smartphones, with advanced photography and gaming capabilities.
www.qualcomm.com
If so, does anyone know a good tutorial for this?
Also, would it be possible to tune up the camera (apparently the Snapdragon 636 supports up to 24Mp (although 16 is already nice I guess).
Thanks!

zenfone 2 or asus selfie?

Hello
i have samsung s5 and i want to try another brand
which one is better zenfone 2 or the new one asus selfie
i prefer selfie because front camera came with flash and wide angle
but zf2 have 4 GB of RAM and selfie 3 GB
but which one have better CPU ?
It's hard to find any worthwhile comparisons. The selfie is considerably different in that it's not Intel based. You get an 8-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 615 with the Adreno 405 and 3GB RAM, although there appears to be a slightly cheaper 2GB model. Can't really compare CPUs because you didn't specify which ZF2 model. Some have a 1.8GHz quad core and others a 2.3GHz one. I couldn't really find anything comparing them anyway.
The GPU on the ZF2 appears to be quite a bit more powerful. It's supposedly very close to the Adreno 330. The 330 being the high end of the past gen while the 405 is the lower of the current gen. As for the 1GB less RAM, I wouldn't worry about that. 2GB is arguably enough as it is.
Pricing was hard to find too. As best as I can tell it'll be roughly the same same price as the 1.8GHz/4GB/32GB ZF2 model. All the other specs, except the front cam, look the same.
So far as I can see, you lose a little on the CPU/GPU/RAM but get a much better front cam. This is purely from a quick Google search session. Again, there are a lot of different ZF2 models, from a 1.8GHz/2GB/16GB/720p up to a 2.3GHz/4GB/64GB/1080p.
thanks but let us compare between zf2 Quad 4GB (Intel Atom Quad Core Z3580 (2.3GHz))
and selfie Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615
CPU Quad-core Cortex-A53 & Quad-core Cortex-A53
is there any comparison between this different cpu brand?
Selfie has 4G available on both sim slots, ZF2 doesn't even support data on second sim.
All i could i think of:
Pros of the selfie - Removable battery, great selfie cam with flash, laser autofocus, corning gorilla glass 4
Pros of the zenfone 2 4gb (intel atom z3580) - faster cpu, better general performance, great gpu.
Cons of the selfie - SD 615 performance doesn't even match up to the lower end zenfone 2 with the z3560 chipset, weak gpu, bigger than the zenfone 2
Cons of the zenfone 2- lacks all the pros of the selfie
Since you are coming from an S5 i think you value a removable battery but that's up to you.

Windows 10 on Lumia 540-like device (specwise) - CM Alpha Luxe

Greetings!
A local company in our country released a very affordable windows phone device, the Cherry Mobile Alpha Luxe, which I bought at a sale for just around $61. The specs of this device is very similar to the Lumia 540, it is as follows:
5.0 Inch HD IPS Display (720 × 1280 Pixels, 294 ppi)
Scratch Resistant DragonTrail Glass
Windows Phone 8.1 OS
1.2GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 Processor
Adreno 305 GPU
1GB of RAM
8GB Internal Storage
Expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD
8.0 Megapixel Autofocus Main Camera with LED Flash
2.0 Megapixel Front Camera
Dual SIM/Dual Standby
3G HSPA+, 2G EDGE and GPRS Networks
Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
FM Radio
MicroUSB
3.5mm Audio Jack
Accelerometer
2,000mAh Li-ion Battery
My question is, can I probably spoof or do something to get the windows 10 mobile dev preview installed in this unit using the software for Lumia 540?
I'm willing to give it a try if somebody is willing to teach me how.
Thanks and more power!
Actually, you can. But the problem it will be if you want to come back to WP 8.1
You can, its really easy to get it done, but its not really optimized, Im using it on my lumia 525 and its a bit slow.

[Q] Asus Fonepad 8 vs Zenpad 8

Hello all ! I am looking to buy a tablet, basically a second device to my primary phone (Samsung Galaxy s4). For me calling is a must in the tablet and I am not looking at beyond $300 price mark. I finalized on Asus Fonepad 8 (Model:FE380CG) and Asus's newer model, the Zenpad 8 (Model: Z380KL). Brief specs of both as follows:
Asus Fonepad 8 FE380CG and Zenpad 8 Z380KL common specs:
=================================================
8" HD display with 1280X800px resolution
4000 mAh battery
2 GB RAM DDR3
MicroSD card slot
WiFi b/g/n, bluetooth 4.0, GPS with Glonass
Cameras on both tablets are average at best
Dimensions and weight more or less similar and for me doesn't matter.
Android lollipop 5.0 on both
Now the Fonepad 8 Specs:
=====================
Processor: Intel Atom Z3530 quad core cpu 1.33Ghz 64-bit
GPU: Power VR G6430
Dual SIM 3G dual standby
Front firing stereo speakers
Camera 2mp front and 5 mp back
Zepnad 8 Z380KL Specs:
===================
Processor: Qualcomm Spandragon 615 Octa core 1.8Ghz 64-bit
GPU: Adreno 405
Single SIM 4G LTE
Front firing single speaker
Camera: 2mp front and 8 mp back
Now after reading a lot about both of them I find that in benchmarks the intel atom processor is ahead of snapdragon 615 and without any heating issues. Secondly the GPU with intel processor though only a mid range gpu is almost twice as fast than the adreno 405 with the Snapdragon 615. Plus the the fonepad 8 has dual sim and dual front firing speakers for good audio. The zenpad 8 comes with a audio cover accessory which is like $65 more. So overall I am really confused which one to get please help!.
My main criteria is Performance and battery life with good calling.
Please reply early as my second phone is dead already and need a urgent replacement. Thanks to all !!
Some Asus user, please answer ??
sure this is going to be the expired answer of mine, but i just want to share though, i was just at the same situation but finally opted for fonepad 8. i'm satisfied with the device since it has a very good perfomance, battery life and no serious heat issue for running 3D games..

This device uses Adreno 509,and not Adreno 512.CPU-Z may not be correct everytime.
No i check in every benchmark app it uses 512 lol
It is adreno 509. SD636 is the lower binning version of SD660, thus still using the same board platform. Some has said that asus intentionally leaving the build.prop or some GPU reading to adreno 512, so they can use set the higher setting in certain Game which detect available graphic quality based on GPU model. It is kinda like using GLTools from the beginning and set the GPU detection to adreno 512. PUBG maybe is one of them. In RN5P (or RN5 China), they only have the balance setting. But in Pro M1, there is HD + HFR setting (Ultra HD also available, but more framedrop). There are people who can get HD setting on RN5P, but they have to edit the game resource.
I too see that it's adreno 512 on my Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

Underclocked Snapdragon 660 or Overclocked Snapdragon 636 on Realme 2 Pro?

It looks like Newly launched Realme 2 Pro have a Underclocked QC SD 660 or Overclocked QC SD 636. I checked Mi A2 (SD 660) , Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ( SD 636) and Realme 2 Pro ( SD660) in CPU-Z and AIDA64 Apps.

Do not fully trust the information provided in 3rd party apps or other websites. Please refer official websites of each particular phone to get the TRUE and CORRECT information about the processors used in them and the clock speeds that they are set to.
The SD660 used in Realme 2 Pro has a ( Original ) clock speed of 2.2 Ghz when Qualcomm makes that chip but the OEM ( Phone Manufacturer ) can tweak and change the clock speeds of the chip as per their strategy when using it in any phone.
For Realme 2 Pro the manufacturer Realme Mobiles has decided to clock the SD660 processor at 2 Ghz. That can be for various reasons depending on Software Optimizations, Battery Optimizations, Or maybe Just for No Reason :silly:
The point is, for an average user or for any user for that matter, it does not matter much. Plus there is a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Engine ( AIE ) which is not present in SD636.
Nowadays the term "Artificial Intelligence" is so wrongly used by every phone manufacturer to promote and sell their new phones to people who do not have any idea about AI in a smartphone. Fact is, there are only FEW countable chips in this world who ACTUALLY have a dedicated AI Engine in them and SD660 which is used in Realme 2 Pro has that Real AI in it.
So....
fully working poco f1 with all bootloader unlocking this that everything
For me the real benefit of SD660 over SD636 is the GPU, which is about 30% faster and that matters A LOT.

Right. GPU is a very important aspect in todays world where we have high end graphics games and apps. And even slight upgrade in GPU makes a notable difference :good:
Hi,
Then Whats the idea about NPU chip in coming new chipset series? Are they both same or is there any big difference?
Thanks!
