Asus Pegasus 2 Plus - User Reviews

  • Worst phone ever 1 year in now i can't even turn it on

  • My previous post on fixing the overheating issue did appear to work for a short period of time but the phone cooked itself.

  • I've solved the overheating issue. The method I used is below. Use it as a guideline only! Customize it according to your needs. It is an excellent phone that is fast and responsive when it's tweaked. Please be aware that the main cause of a smartphone heating up is because apps are running in the background. Maximum brightness can drain your battery as well. 1. Make sure your phone is charged or plugged in 2. Backup your data and contacts 3. Turn off phone 4. Remove sim card and sdcard 5. Turn on phone 6. In settings, find backup and reset 7. Do a factory reset, select erase apps and user data. 8. Erase everything and continue. * After the phone boots up, do the setup but don't turn on WiFi or mobile data. Skip these steps. 9. In the settings, tap on apps (app manager) 10. Uninstall all apps in the downloaded section (first screen) 11. Swipe from right to left and scroll to "All Apps" section 12. Force stop and Disable the following apps Asus zenui services Calculator Calendar Calendar local account Calendar storage Clock Email Exchange services Gmail Google backup transport (only disable if you know how to manually backup your data/contacts) Google calendar sync Google contacts sync (only disable if you know how to backup/restore contacts manually) Google partner setup Home screen tips IT factory test Market feedback agent Music Music visualization wallpapers Musicfx One time init Search 13. Go into settings 14. Tap on display 15. Manually adjust brightness to your liking, as long as it's not at maximum. 16. Change any other settings in this section that meets your needs. 17. Go back into settings and go through everything to configure your phone to your liking. Turn off statistic submission, automatic system updates, and ads. (Make sure nothing is checked in the startup manager). 18. If you see the google settings app, open it and turn off ads and statistics reporting 19. Reboot your phone 20. Turn on WiFi and connect to the internet 21. Go into the google play store and setup your gmail account 22. Update all apps 23. Install gboard (Google keyboard) 24. Make this your default keyboard 25. Disable Asus keyboard in the apps manager 26. Configure Google keyboard in the language and input settings * Install VLC for Android from the Google play store as a replacement for the default music and video players. * Install a light weight email client from the Google play store, like mail.ru, if you need one. 27. Turn off phone 28. Insert your sim card and sdcard 29. Turn on phone Now play with it.

  • Overheats like you can't believe. Might actually blister you. Laggy despite octa-core processor and 3gb ram, I guess the gpu is almost non-existent. 16 Gb internal memory despite the advertisements. Absolutely no support whatsoever, not even getting a marshmallow update. Worst camera ever, with flash produces yellowed pictures without you get blurry pics 4g on sim 2 for some reason. the phone is pretty though and i can usually go a full day and most of the night before charging again so that's a plus My advice... don't buy this!!!

  • phone gets heated like a furnace. serves me to make butter toasts and omlettes easily by using the phone.stopped using gas oven

  • This phone has bad audio volume, overheating 2000 mah battery, 16gb internal memory and no marshmallow updates even though it has good camera, screen, ram and sensors.

  • Dont Buy it! When i brought this mobile my objective has play games, specially Pokemon Go, BUT, Its Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 seems a joke! The mobile overheat more than 60° Celsius in 2 minutes. When get 67° it shutdown, off course. Each overheat episode create a little line on screen. Facebook, YouTube, NetFlix have the great heat too. Maybe one day the root process runs to finally decrease the resolution screen and to save resources. Lenovo NEVER MIND!

  • Is there android marshmallow for this phone?

  • you have to first root the phone using kingo root then navigate to system folder then media then audio and rename the camera audio files

  • I have being using this phone for some day now, but I observed that each time I browse the phone it becomes hot from the upper part of the phone pls is it normal or maybe the phone have issues or factory fault...pls I need your reply..

  • please provide dark colors... prefer grey or black

  • Nice,I am waiting...

  • Why there are no black option, will it come to Indonesia? Coz the 1st pegasus didn't come, we are bored with zenfone models. And you will lose market if always release product tooooooooooo late.

  • waiting for last 3 months;pls launch it soon

  • lost my patience.. going for C5

  • Go for oneplus x instead of this

  • The Vodafone Smart ultra 6 has Same spec cpu but only 16gb and 2gb system ram. has Android 5.0.2 installed, micro sd slot with feature to move apps to sd card ( data only ) can be unlocked for £3.45 on ebay UK. same size 5.5 inch screen full hd and its decent too been IPS. And just about all of the vodafones pre installed apps can be removed fully almost making it stock android. The only downside is you have to install the Google Messaging app as Vodafone has made the default one only work on the Vodafone network. but that's a quick fix. Bluetooth, NFC and lte

  • You're right, 5.5" Full HD should be about 400 ppi. Now where the approximately 40 ppi comes from? GSMARENA.COM must have misprinted.

  • Waiting....waiting......& waiting

  • Asus u will lose ur market values if will wait ur customers too much we are waiting for this phone about 4 month if ubwill not release it in India we and other customers have to go for other ones like NEXUS 5X

  • Very good Specs!! For a Mid Range:-) Well done Asus!! Expecting it to be Priced Wisely so that it can rule the Mid range market!! From my personal opinion ithe processor could have been MT6752 or MT6753 because, SD615 is having heating issues..

  • Nice mobile wating for it and is in reasonable price

  • In your dream. Qualcomm's now making heater, not processors. If you have dare to compare then do with helioX10, SD810 just swiped away, the mighty heater. and don't talk about SD615, this shit can't even run asphalt 8 in full graphics without lag -_-

  • how many amount

  • want to know its weight and dimensions plzzz

  • gyus go for it i got this phone from china market no heating issue baterry backup is cool and camera quality is better then asus zen 2

  • Nice mobile

  • Dearest friends.To be fair according to the gsmArena.com specification,it is a very good upper midrange smartphone from Asus!!!GSM review in case it is qualified to be written about it,proves realities unbiasedly!!!Thanks all + GSM.Justice Rights.

  • not so actrative

  • Best Mobile & Bud jet Mobile Beat all Model Mobile Phone Which date of Release market & Store in India. Release after use more people this phone.

  • Please put gorilla glass

  • when its comming2

  • where is tge gorila glass?? :-/

  • Nope, Asus needs better power management. I guess it comes from the fact that Snapdragon (and Exynos even more so) is leaps and bounds ahead of Intel in terms of power management. Zenfone 2 already has a humongous battery as it is.

  • noooo. lol xd :/ :o :(

  • Will this phone be available in north america please reply

  • this look like shameshung s6, i dont know why ASUS try to "copy" all brands, put the buttons for volume on back like LG was a good choise i think, i like it...but, made the fron curves looking like s6 is a shame because ASUS can do it better! FOR LUCKY have intel inside instead of mediashit, so, why much war because dont have mediashit?! i think, mediashit have to do better processor with better specs (Ghz doesnt have very importance!)

  • Where did you get it..? lol

  • where this pegasus available? and from where can i buy this

  • Seems to be a nice phone from Asus. Especially after the news that intel processors are responsible for draining if battery quickly. I think snapdragon may be a bit more power efficient and battery backup may improve over zenfone2.

  • does asus pegasus2 support 4G or 3G net on both sim? coz zenfone2 doesn't support internet on 2nd sim...

  • Seems to be a nice phone from Asus. Especially after the news that intel processors are responsible for draining if battery quickly. I think snapdragon may be a bit more power efficient and battery backup may improve over zenfone2.

  • I thing your mobile agent because of iam using the same mobile but i not satisfied

  • I prefer Asus uses an Intel inside than Snapdragon, although many assume Intel is always hot battery, I also saw Pegasus 2 is more likely to resemble China product rather than Taiwan, because it seems more similiar like the design of Chinese production such as : Oppo, Xiaomi, etc, but awesome for Asus.

  • very very nice . ........mobile

  • very very . ........mobile

  • so why are you guys whining? if asus does have alot of bad issues, then buy an expensive phone. asus does not say buy our product for it has the best quality and performance ever, but atleast they're selling their product at a much affordable price and this is for those who want to experience something like what we are dreaming the most, we cant afford s4 s5 s6 note3 note4, and those phones does have bad issues as well, all phones does. that is he reason why they continue developing phones at a very fast phase. take note, those are high end phones already but still has bad issues.

  • screen and whispering loudspeaker as well. i dont recommend this brand to my friends as well.

  • Love my zenfone 2 phone, this phone brought me back to asus product again, since I had bad experience with their laptop. This upcoming phone looks had better specs than zenfone 2, but the only thing I would suggest for asus is battery, need bigger capacity. Keep it on asus.

  • No matter what asus launches.....its gonna have a poor battery and bad camera!! #personal xperience from zenfone 5 and ze551ml :(

  • No way MT6752 and Snap615 uses same core (cortex a53) and the former is clocked higher, moreover MT6752 have a far better GPU

  • Asus thinks itself a Xiaomi product forthat they focusing on specification at low price but no quality

  • yes'you are true and I worked with MT6752 and mali 760mp2 in htc desire 626G+.D626G+ really pump every game up and works very smooth.in addition I have to tell you that UI is most important in mobiles working. if you work with htc desire 820(n) that has SD615 and adreno 405 it would be faster than lg g3!!!! yes desire 820 was faster(the G3 with 2g of ram not3).if it's possible check the desire 820n in your hands and work with it.that hardware you said is used in htc desire 626G+ and works very better as you said and I experienced,but don't ignore that UI is as important as hardware.ex:desire 820n works very better than this phone

  • Snapdragon very bad for those want playing high graphics games...it's so laggy...if u don't believes me,u search at youtube look snapdragon 615,with adreno 405 vs mediatek 6732 or mt6752 with mali-t760mp2..which one is best performances...

  • did you all use any i did it is best then any cell...

  • snapdragon 615 is faster because single core ipc is higher. mediatek socs are better only in benchmarks, in real world applications in android is not optimized to use multiple cores. what you are saying is like "fx-8350 is faster than i7-3790k because it has more cores".

  • looking nice, but whats the price

  • Asus camera never good also the battery

  • Why there are many Mediashit Fans complaining over here? This Phone use Snapdragon, Deal with it!!

  • Also I was wrong to say it has A7 cores, no, it has A53 cores at 1.7/2.0ghz. Also a better graphics processor: Mali T760. Adreno 405 is crap all the way.

  • Mediatek has made a lot of progress and are not such closed-sourced like they were. Plus, they are making better processors for lower cost, don't troll around without knowing. Their Helio X20 will kick everything on the market when it launches in Elephone 9000. That's if Snapdragon 820 doesn't appear until then.

  • please don`t meantion Mediashit here -_- Closed source bitches with crappy SoC even s410 can beat top noch Mediatek SoC

  • Price?

  • Bad choice to go for snapdragon 615 instead of Mediatek's MT6592 which has 8x1.7ghz. Even if it's based on older-gen Cortex A7, it still beats the crap out of crapdragon, pun intended).

  • Eagerly waiting for it...
