Review on the 6gb variant! Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

The performance is the same as the 4gb variant, very very slight bhenchmark performance margin difference.
So basically you are paying 2k extra only for more megapixel camera. Ram being only a cache storage to store apps temporary, it doesn't make a difference as 4gb is enough to run many apps multitasking lag free. I'm not a camera freak, I'm content with what camera the 4gb variant has to offer (waiting for a proper bug free Fota though).
Good that I didn't wait to buy the 6gb variant. I saved my money and time as well!

What u said is exactly right..
I also checked related threads about 6gb variant nothing's more except the front camera ....and better than Redmi Note 5 pro

Wait for few days for retail unit reviews. Ram does not make phone faster it just keeps more apps in memory.

mine got delivered today

Please inform about the rear and front camera sensors used in 6gb variant.

how better is the 6gb camera when compared to the 4gb version?
I thought i'll buy the 6gb one. But i guess i won't get it for first 2-3 weeks.

Hey guys, I am planning to buy Zenfone Max Pro M1. But I am really confused between RN5 Pro and M1, solely because I find a lot of ROMS and customisation in the RN5P forums which looks really promising but at the same time, with a humoungous battery, dedicated SD card slot and 2 years of promised updates, this device seems like a treasure for its price. Could you guys or devs please help me with my decision as to which phone I should go with. I am a flashoholic, therefore i need a phone which is highly popular among devs and has many custom ROMS/Kernels.

Sounds like Redmi Note 5 Pro is for you, since base MIUI sucks and people usually just unlock bootloader and flash another ROM to it. I heard they did something in the recent update of MIUI so that you can't reroll back to the previous build, so flashing it the instant you got the phone is a good idea.

Should i switch to a Redmi Note 5 (Pro) 636? Any Alternatives?

Hi guys, i've been playing around with this Mi a2 for the last week, and so far i'm not satisfied at all with it. The lack of the jack, the poor battery life even with greenify (around 4h of screen) and the lack of an active community around it are some of the reasons why i'm considering to take advantage of the amazon return policy and get something else. Should i get a Note 5 Global 636 (Pro) or a MI A2 lite? Do you have any alternatives in mind around 200 euro?

Wait for either Redmi Note 6 Pro (battery) or Mi 8 Youth (almost same as Mi A2 w/o jack and sd card slot but good design with notch and MIUI)

I would go for the Note 5 Pro if you don't mind MIUI since it looks exactly like the A2, only a tad thicker because of the battery, but because of it, the camera bump doesn't protrude as much.
If you can't live with MIUI, then definitely go for the A2 Lite. Can't beat the value.
Do note that the 636 is notably more powerful, and has especially better DSP meaning that you can take photos faster on the 636, but at the end of the day, it all depends on how you use the phone and what works for you.

Is your Mi A2 affected by max cpu frequency stuck bug?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/frequency-sd660-stuck-maximum-t3832366
I'm very happy with my Mi A2 128/6. In my opinion it's one of the most underestimated smartphones.

Yes, the cpu doesn't seem to clock down. The first 4 cores are stuck at 1843 Mhz and the last 4 at 2208Mhz.

I'm not a fan of MIUI but there are plenty of roms for the Note 5 Global to get that sweet aosp/pixel experience.
I still haven't made my mind up, i'm going to see how this week goes and then choose wether to return it or not.

So that's why you have only 4 hours of screen on time.
As you can read in that thread, the bug is caused by the Goodix fingerprint sensor. Waiting for a fixing update, just disable the fingerprint sensor for now and you'll not have the bug anylonger.

Thanks for the advice, disabling the fingerprint lock got me another half an hour of SOT. Which is nice, but far from what i would get on a mi a2 lite or a note 5 pro.
SOT: https://imgur.com/a/4gGHQ69
Giving that the mi a2, the mi a2 lite and the note 5 (pro) in italy on amazon are around the same price i think i will go with the note 5 (pro) and flash lineageos on it to get rid of the miui.

Not really. It just has a better GPU, but 636 is a lot better than the 625 found on A2 Lite.

cpu bug is not fixed in oct update as they just recently submitted this bug to qualcomm

Bug is because of fingerprint sensor. Disable it and reboot until fix

Also 51% after 18h doesn't look bad to me. My old phone used to have 51% after only 4-5hours with just 4g / no SOT LoL

In that case will hold till cpu bug fix before buying.
After all for this price range it feels good.

I returned mine after a month of use. Wasn't happy at all with it.

This is why people rooted there phone it actually helps if you can control the CPU.

I almost bought the A2. After reading about the bugs in the A2 held off.
Get the Nokia 7.1 Plus instead, 4/64 price is just a bit more than the A2, but :
Android One
SD710
micro SD Card
3.5 mm audio
FM radio
Type-C
most of all ( I need a good camera) :
(dual) Sony IMX363 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, 1.4-micron pixels, dual-pixel autofocus
ZEISS optics
OIS
Camera 2 API Level 3 support (most prob)
Puredisplay, DCI-P3 wide color gamut ,500 nits brightness.
EDIT : 3500mAh
EDIT2 :
https://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-7-1-Android-9-Pie-update-testing_id110073
Fortunately, HMD Global did confirm an update to Pie by the end of October and, seemingly staying true to its promise, this version has already been spotted in testing.

That looks nice, only question is the price. I got two A2 from Amazon at 202€ (4/64 black) and 194€ (4/64 gold), with Nokia I'm not sure I could remain under 400€ for two phones. My dad needs a new phone, if the 7.1 plus is at a reasonable price I'll get him that and say bye bye to Xiaomi.

Well, it remains to see how they will translate they prices in Euro and the effective availability on a reputable store on my local Amazon, but it looks promising.

Better than S10+, but lacking the S10+ beefy variants?

As soon as all the phones were introduced, i put the 5G atop even the Fold. But having this phone when the S10+ gets a 12GB variant and Ceramics killed it for me.
Will those two options ever be available for the 5G?

I read ufs 3.0 so I called Samsung to confirm, spent an hour on the phone with three different departments and never received a definitive answer.

Definitely not UFS 3.0. the only advantages are the bigger screen (not for me), bigger battery (but still as yet unproven battery life), and the ToF sensor which is useful for girls that like to post artsy videos on their Instagram page. That last one I don't think is an advantage as I've seen the mate 20 Pro do some awesome portrait video like gimmicks as well without that sensor. Samsung just hamstringing the other S10 models I think.
I just repurchased the S10+ 1tb version (long story) and think I've decided to wait for the Note 10.

No x55 in the Note 10 unfortunately. If you want Samsung gonna have to wait for the S11 pro ultra super 5g edition unfortunately. Should have it by then.

You don't think the Note 10 will get the new x55? Has to be close to coming in the note 10. Wonder if it will get UFS 3.0??

I've read lots of articles saying beginning of 2020 for the new modem. One article said end of 2019, but August isn't the end of 2019. UFS 3.0 has to be guaranteed in the Note 10, otherwise Samsung is dropping the ball.

Agree with that. UFS 3.0 better be in there or I may have to hold out for S11? I wish I knew if Note 10 had UFS 3.0 and what modems. If it doesn't have UFS 3.0 and still using old modem I should buy an S10 5G now then for the bigger display, bigger battery and more cameras but wish I knew what Note 10 would entail

honestly, you should spend a bit more on a redmi note 11
it offers a better camera (50mp, but it has a bigger sensor which = more detail and more widely light capturing avail, great for her id say), a powerful cpu (Snapdragon 680, it also uses a different processing than the mediatek of the redmi note 10 5g) and a better display (amoled, 120hz), for id say 15-30 more?
ur choice, but the redmi note 11 is great for the 10 5g budget

Yeah! I have note 10 5G for about 1yr
Display Brightness is only 400nits so
display is too dark in sunlight , 18W is not enough for 5000mah battery and OB48B is not good as N11 4G's Samsung sensor, display is too bad at colour production, go dimensity 700 for 5G only otherwise sd680 is better at overall! spend a few dollars for N11 4g or note 12 5g
*I also have dimemsity 1000+
and I believe mtk chips are on-paper tigers!
