Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) ZB631KL - User Reviews

  • Does this phone get android 10?

  • Go to settings and connected devices, there should be a NFC option to permit you to exchange data when the phone touches another device compatible with NFC.

  • I bought this exact phone in early 2019 and everything is great except for the massive fact that there is no NFC in the phone and Google pay therefore will not work. I have 2 questions for ASUS geeks or staff: 1. Does anyone know why this phone is advertised as having an NFC but actually doesn't? and... 2. Is there going to be any patches or updates to include NFC in the near future? *This is absolutely necessary to use Google pay! We cannot use phone to pay without it!

  • Will they launch it before Dec?

  • Still waiting for Max Pro M3

  • agree

  • very good phone

  • Yes in the october security patch update

  • So ... has the latest update solved the battery drain issues on this phone?

  • It does, but not much

  • Great midranger

  • Did the camera improve after the Pie update?

  • very satisfied with this phone

  • Worst experience with Asus. Not able to charge phone at all. To charge the phone first i need to switch it off. No assistance from service center and from asus as well even after submitted 3 times in service center in past 2 months.

  • will buy this phone soon :)

  • Ask Asus those Aholes cooked up this phone...the biggest mistake. I purchased the 6 gb ram version on December 18 on the first sake say from Flipkart This is full of bugs and every new update brings new bugs to the table Battery works like a 2500mah

  • Ellegant and beautiful phone

  • when I charge it with mi note 7 pro box charger only dock used I reach 87 percent from 21% in 10 hrs anybody know what happened to my set battery charging ..but others who charge max pro m2 with another charger they don't have such problem Thier battery easily fully charge in 3hrs from 10% battery .but my set don't increase charge not even charge in damn 12hrs for 90 percent charge 10-100 percent

  • Wifi connectivity issues always. Battery is good.

  • no I am using fast charger of Samsung but it's

  • great design and great battery life.glad to have this phone

  • Are you using the original charger that comes from the box?

  • anybody help ..my asus zenfone max pro m2 takes 9hrs to fully charged n only last for 2 hrs on acasional camera use in a day but last 8 hrs in offline video watch at 0% brightness n 3 hrs on wifi

  • outstanding phone,,hopefully,android 10 will come to this

  • But poor battery charge (10W) must be 18W, 20W or 25W

  • this phone is very good for gaming,the battery life is amazing

  • sound good specific phone but no wifi wlan 5 ac thats why never buy it.....bad bad bad ASUS!

  • Best midranger

  • It never happen to my device

  • Very happy with this phone

  • is there any earpiece issue in this phone?sometimes the earpiece volume is too high that it seems sound is coming from the bottom speaker but it came from earpiece.did anyone face the same issue like me?

  • Oh, thx

  • Currently, Android Pie is unstable.. I advice you guys to not update it yet, until new patch is release.. Bugs such as home button sometimes not working, screen doesnt responds(need to lock and unlock). And the camera app is too basic.. All the option you have is HDR,PRO,Depth effect and some other basic things.. The AI thing does work though.. And the video quality is up to 4K, and the 1080p doesnt have 60fps..

  • very happy with this phone,everything is good

  • It's not the latest update

  • Yes, a tiny notification light, but NO USB C port

  • i have latest rom PKQ.WW_Phone-16.2017.1905.065-20190507 , i feel my battery life like 3000 mah , also problem with brightness level when i set 0 -60 its same no different like other are there same problem..?? how to fix it

  • U sure there is notification light ??

  • It has nfc?

  • Highly agreed. All these new phones like Realme 5 but damn, this phone cuts them down in half. It has best battery after Max Pro M1. Best camera in this price with Gcam 6.2. f/1.8, 1/2.9 apertures. It captures good details. 1.25um. This is measure of light it can capture and 1.25um is very high! Its lowlight pictures are best in this price. 5MP depth sensor which works pretty well for edge detection. It has NFC. It offers good Eis with high FPS video recording. Its gaming performance is best out of all Snapdragon 660 phones. Max Pro M2 and Nokia 7 Plus offer best performance out of all Snapdragon 660 phones. They also beat all Kirin 710, Helio P60 and Helio P70 phones.

  • Install google camera 6.2 and see the real magic

  • Go to asus.com, download the firmware file from there and then transfer the file in root of internal memory. Then check the update manually n restart ur mobile. After restart a notification will come then click on the notification then install the software. The mobile after installation n ur done. But check the firmware details of ur mobile before downloading in settings>system>about phone>bulid number. If there is WW then download the WW firmware file

  • 5000 mah battery on 175 gr weight,,i think this phone is an engineering marvel

  • Its not that bad

  • Camera is sucked, the worst camera of a smartphone that I've been used till now.

  • I cannot update my phone to android 9.0 pie!!! Please help me

  • Go into settings and selct the mode that you want. It works fine.

  • have been using for half a year. Works smooth. JUst a main camera quality could be better

  • an ASUS phone that can't be read by an ASUS laptop through direct connection/cable connection......AND can't be read by smart TVs (for mirror screen purposes).....

  • Realy,,, so the 3rd generation is better from 6th gen I ever have smartphone with 3rd generation and its awesome

  • On me i install greenify app and frezee some app that not too important and i feel better battery life

  • don't use the phone lol

  • Update to the latest version if you in 9.0

  • Hey People. Anyone have any idea how to stop the battery drain on this phone?

  • Hey People. Anyone have any idea how to stop the battery drain on this phone?

  • Its a common thing happen to gorilla glass 6

  • My Asus phone screen still scratched even though have corning glass 6

  • Yes, both sims are 3g support and both support 4G and LTE

  • both sim are 3g support?

  • My new update made the phone fast like in the 8.1 oreo

  • I'm so disappointed of the new updated system. Android 9.0 made it slow and other features were corrupted.

  • Do anyone in india getting 4g+ sign on this device? Please confirm and reply. How and which network

  • Adaptive display has been turn off since the 9.0 pie update

  • Have they added the option to turn off adaptive display with the Pie update?

  • nfc = no

  • The only problem is the Data connection, even you are getting 4g+ the data connection is still slow and not that steady compare to other phones. I think they used cheap materials for this... :(

  • Hi. I am happy with this phone except that I have 1 problem : when I use the video recording function through another app (like a hidden camera / video app), the recording somehow stops around 2 minutes of recording. The problem does not occur when I use its in-built video recording function. Anyone else has this problem? Anyone knows how to solve this? TQ

  • That's kinda sad for you man coz i'm not facing that issues you mentioned not to mention me and my wife both have the same device and so far we're very satisfied with it. I play games and i don't expect spectacular performance on it since it's not a top end gaming smartphone like rog, black shark and so on but for me, i'm very much satisfied with every game i play on it. With every update it gets better and better atleast for us(me and my wife)

  • im using this phone and Asus now is showing their mddlefnger after you buy this phone and cannot report about any problem. You will regret it. Touch sensitivity problem, not satisfied in graphic gameplay, bug on pie update, camera settings is JOKING YOU AROUND and not satisfied AT ALL, settings also, huawei nova 4e or huawei x8 is better than this 'thing', now im using this phone. Im so sad about this. My old zenfone 2 is more satisfied than this one. Im so sad.

  • Pie update has been seeding globally so i don't know why you still haven't get to receive the update. Your country?

  • some comments said they got update to Pie, but mine there is no update, last is 8.1, why?

  • wow ...no 5ghz wifi?

  • I am using this phone for last seven months and I am very much satisfied with the phone, excluding all other features as many has given , i would like to inform that the "Dual Layer" Home screen is the amazing feature, which I could not find in any other phone. Even Asus does not say about it. But this is the lovely part of the phone. it's different.

  • New update has release for Indonesian region, fix the brightness and more

  • what about pubg?

  • When Asus want to release Max Pro M2 successor or there are none

  • dis phone internet speed for online game is 450 mbps..really slow..while zenfone 5z or 6 1200mbps..n pocophone got 1050mbps l..dis phone not for higher fps online game..i bought it though..it suxx

  • There is no China version! Model ZB630KL is for India, ZB631KL is global. There are A and B radio and more RAM and storage versions, up to 6 - 128GB ( Spec. EU version in France).

  • yes two model

  • There seems to be a problem with the "speed" of games, It's like in 2x speed for no reason, I just updated yesterday and it did this "speed" thing today for some reason. Does anyone like know how to return it to normal speed by any chance or is this part of the update?

  • Yes

  • Asus zenfone max pro m2 have two version global or China? Is it true?

  • When I update to Android Pie, The screen brightness auto adjust a little bit dark rather when Im in Android Oreo. Is this an issue?

  • Does anyone notice the screen brightness seems adjusted dark when upgrading to android 9.0?

  • Battery: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 > Realme 3 > Realme 3 Pro > Nokia 8 > Motorola Moto Z2 Force. Z2 Force has screen issues so probably avoid it. Redmi note 7 is a terrible choice for gaming. Its performance and battery are horrible for SD660 & 4k mAh battery. A30 is alright but not the best device to recommend for gaming in this price.

  • Gaming Performance: Nokia 8 > Motorola Moto Z2 Force > Realme 3 Pro > Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 > Realme 3. Battery life in gaming: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 > Realme

  • The new update rolling out in India as well incl. Digital Wellbeing, - June Android Security patch and so on (IN version of recently JP-update)

  • ... hard earned money who pays for trolling? lol

  • LOL!

  • Its been a month and still no new pie update :'(

  • Please Please avoid asus zenfone max pro 2 in every and each condition due to its buggy software updates. every updates comes with a tons of problems. I really hate this brand after buying this. This shit brand force me to again buy mobile of other brand due to its day by day problem. Its destroyed my hard earning money. I Hate Asus

  • No call recorder

  • I have an issue with the brightness, everytime i took a picture, when it still on the camera preview, the picture seems fine and its look like what i want to take.but after i saw it on gallery or i post to whatsapp or facebook, it became more dark or the colour seems change. Do you guys have any solution? because its so irritating, i like to take pictures with my phone, but i can't get the right colour/bright for my photo because when i saw in on the camera its different when i saw it on the other apps.

  • Update no longer available.

  • Yeah me also such as you. Im started using zenfone 2 z008d and from there i started like asus. Then change to this phone, it make me thinking if they wanna make it worst for this brand. What the hell with this product.

  • When exactly is the update?

  • New update coming soon! More about that on xda developers: ZenFone Max Pro M2’s latest update brings Digital Wellbeing

  • Actually phone I want to buy between Asus max pro m2 or realme 3 pro even though realme 710 but his performance of app agaisnt Asus almost the same plus what making it weird Asus 660 was underclock but still almost beat realme 710

  • Actually my choice to buy right now is Asus max pro M2 or Realme Pro 3 even though realme have snapdragon 710 but the performance agaisnt Asus max pro m2 doesn't look too much different that's what make me confused which to buy

  • Which is better in term of gaming and battery Samsung A30,Redmi note 7 or realme 3

  • Then go for the realme 3 pro, it has snapdragon 710 and a huge 4k plus mah battery with similar price to max pro m2 but doesnt mean samsung a70 can't game as it has snapdragon 675 that's way better than max pro m2's downclocked sd 660.

  • Samsung A70 was good but I don't like the phone performance when gaming I focus on gaming performance and battery

  • It's all up to you. Been an asus fan here since zenfone max 1st gen series. Others facing issues but not me and my wife, every device that i check has issues even flagships so it doesn't guarantee you a perfect phone of which you pick afterall, so you should be the one to check and see it for yourself on what you really want to buy but for me? asus has been our trusted brand already, it did not disappoint our 1st purchase til we upgraded to this device that we plan to keep for atleast 2 years before we upgrade to another. But if i were to recommend with a right budget, that would be samsung a70, i would love to trade this device for that, it's the only device i'm attracted among all that has been launched regardless if others would say it's overpriced for what it offers, it's a samsung after all.

  • Also lot duplicate appear in contact after pie update, that's very much irritating

  • After pie update, In Youtube i get cross(close) icon, whenever I touch the screen, which doesn't go off automatically, I've close it manually. That's kind of irritating. Also the volume button in ideal mode controls phone music volume, not call volume, that is a bug i see or if there is option which could change it please advice.

  • I got same problem after I updated to Android Pie. Hope an update release soon to solved this bug.

  • I was thinking of buying this phone but is it really worth I heard too many bug about this phone I use zenfone go Z00vd I dunno why but I really like Asus so any idea should I buy this max pro m2 or reccomend other phone to me that is kinda same price

  • No

  • You're free. I just bought it and doesnt have problems with the device. Been with asus since zenfone max series, my previous phone was zenfone max(gen 1) btw and have proven this brand already and my purchased with this phone is just superb that i bought my wife the same device as mine as well. Practical phone, enough to sustain my needs when it comes to everything i need on a device.

  • best phone ever!! you can buy it

  • Just updated to Android 9 today. Cleared the cache in bootloader first. Everything working perfectly.

  • Dont buy this old phone

  • no NFC

  • Me too

  • I installed the new Pie update for 64/6gb ram...bug is the BRIGHTNESS DISPLAY... U need to put it to high to enable to see it better. Thats the only buggy for me.

  • Call and mic volume of too low after pie update. Its very very low so that can't hear wat others speaking and they can't hear wat i am speaking. Is anyone facing this problem??

  • Was it the firmware version 15.2016.1905.65 upgrade for Max Pro M2 6Gb? Did you install it? If so, did you experience any problems or bugs since then?

  • Delete cache partition and install new internet settings... The problem will be rectified...

  • Already on pie here and doesn't have any problems whatsoever with it. Pretty smooth af! I don't see any reason why not update. Just make sure when you update, update without doing anything with your phone to not destruct the updating and installing of the update process, then shut down after the update. Press power and volume down and wipe cache partition. Turn on and be amaze!

  • I'm on Pie now and evrything is running smoothly

  • Does the sms network problems solve by not updating to pie? Pls confirm this. Thanks!

  • If only there's a stock equalizer :'(

  • Dont update to pie

  • It actually charged using approx. 2Amp. Since U leave your screen on, some of its current used to light up the screen backlight. In my case, when I measure it using accubattery, its current read 1500-1700 mA. And from 10 to 100 around 2-2.5 hours. Just leave your screen off while charging, it'll speed up charging time.

  • First time using android and its been a while. Do you guys have any idea how to turn of the pop up notification without using "do not disturb?". i still want the notification come but i dont like when they pop up when i'm playing a game :( Using Pie now

  • phone not connecting on mobile data after update, setting seems fine. cannot find a solution for this, had reset network setting and tried on off mobile data, airplane mode... nothing worked

  • Does it solve the problem by just staying in Oreo? The problem only happens when i'm in that particular place.

  • Dont upgrade to pie. I have the same problem. I change back to oreo

  • same with me, do you solve this problem already?

  • Just bought this phone this week, and I tested its charging capabilities. It turns out, it charges always less than 2 amps all the time, even with the original charger block and cable. and it took 3.5 hrs just to charge it from 20% to 100% with screen on. Is this normal, or my phone have problems?

  • Just bought this new max pro m2 a week ago and i've already updated it to pie. Has anyone experienced network signal problems? I can't seem to send a message when i'm at the 4th floor of our office, even i'm near the window.

  • It's 6 gb ram and its still slow! My Oppo F7 is faster, why?????

  • Already Android P update in Portugal :)

  • Already Android P update in Portugal :)

  • No

  • Yes I am facing the same problem... thats why I am looking in reviews... firstly i thought my new cover is creating problem but after reading your review now i am sure after pie update there is a 400mb update.. from then my phone is facing many problems including fingerprint problem...

  • after update to android 9.. my maps not working always seaching gps... make me stress

  • Does it sport wireless charging ?

  • Data connection is bad.

  • Good phone, simple view and fast

  • Same with me.no mobile data

  • Overall good phone The only problem for me is the Data connection, even though the signal is 4g+ I'm still getting poor data connection

  • Hi, Need advice. Anyone can advice when I have updated to pie 9. I unable to go into internet. Thanks

  • My fingerprint sensor's accuracy has dropped significantly after the recent global Pie update, anyone faces the same issue?

  • I have a problem with transferring files from OTG USB and vice versa. it's so slow and didn't give time duration for completion. Am I the only one experiencing it?

  • Which Android version are you on right now ?

  • It's even smoother now especially the transitions. There are just minor changes like how you manually clear the recent apps, battery saver mode doesn't have that red bezels look up and down, instead the battery icon becomes red. Small clock now in upper left with am/pm, signal and wifi connection in the upper right together with the battery icon, and those said icons were redesigned. I love everything in this update(pie). Others said fingerorint scanner became slower but not on me, still as quick as lightning. Just update! I can guarantee it's not a phone's suicide if you do.

  • Touch Sensitivity Very Slow.That's why I can not play games and play well, try to fix it quickly.

  • After update the fingerpint becomes slower

  • No problems.

  • When I increase the sound more than 60%, the whole mobile vibrates more than general and my hand feels uncomfortable to hold it.the sound is clear and loud though.Is it due to speaker quality or for distortion?Do other users feel the same thing?

  • Terrible problem with the automatic brightness. Non stable, screen is very dark, I had to turn it off. Otherwise everything seems perfect.

  • Who has done the latest offical update ?? What are your opinions ? 152016.1905.65 (1,579.24 MB)

  • The automatic brightness is not good.

  • Definitely yes. You can, always use some app like Equalizer, still better.

  • Sound quality is ok, but not the best out there....Plenty of volume.

  • Pie arrived in Poland.

  • I have a question, is this phone have a Good Sound quality? Thanks for ur reply

  • i already updated pie so ok

  • Very good phone. Can the Gsmarena put finally the battery test in the specs?

  • im using this model for about 3months plus already. so far so good. play games esp, pubg n ml...no problem at all. the only problem i encounterd , from landscape mode to potrait mode then back to lanscape mode...sometime it "hang" mine is 64/6 then i pump up the sd by using 256. cam view..ok screen color..i love it. touch screen smooth....

  • i can help u

  • While you're looking for a titanium, me and wife have the same color and that's titanium because blue is out of stock in the city where we bought our device, i really want the blue one but sadly, i see none during that time. :(

  • I've been trying to purchase one Titanium 6GB ram version, always out of stock / coming soon on Flipkart

  • Any other way? I have important files there and I don't want to lose it.

  • Try a factory reset.

  • Hello, An error message occured on my Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. I just restarted my phone then then after I entered my password, it showed this: E: couldn't load bitmap (error -7) something like that How to fix this? Please answer thank you. P.S: This phone is good, but I didn't update my phone yet. :(

  • I just hope the pie or any future patch update will fix the minor issue i'm facing with the phone, a sudden bounce off of the display like it minimizes on its own(the screen) without me tapping the recent apps button, though it's not a big problem generally but it's a bit annoying when occur during playing my online game coz it automatically disconnects me from the game.

  • Yes you can install a custom ROM on Asus M1 pro as well.. you just need to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery then flash the ROM you like.

  • The new Android 9 has started rolling out Internationally, slowly to every country. From 22nd May, 2019

  • Does it support radio recording?

  • Android 9 is being rolled out world wide. Just wait a few weeks and read everybodys comments about Android 9.

  • It's have bug on pie don't update

  • Am still on Android 8.1.0 and everything is smooth, I am scared to upgrade to Android 9 , what if I get bugs

  • Do you have any idea if this change can be applied to Max Pro M1 too?

  • Just ditched stock ROM to the trash and flashed Havoc Custom ROM. Its so fluid, smooth and feature rich.. was planning to get a new phone but after this ROM upgrade will keep the phone for one more year. Gaming has become butter smooth with no lags whatsoever. Battery life with moderate usage is 2 days. Can play PUBG for almost 6.5 hours (100% battery).

  • If only this phone support 5ghz, it would be perfect phone for me.

  • Micro USB charging suits me perfectly... My camera, 2 x battery packs, 2 x bluetooth speakers, 2 x led lights, spare phone, pocket wifi all have micro USB. So, I can travel with only one charger.

  • Its rear cameras work very well for a mid ranger phone. For better cameras, you need to spend more money. Front camera has a flash which is great for night selfies.

  • Great price and great peformance This M2 replace my late asus zenfone 6, i use it for 5 years Keep on going PEGASUS

  • super solid midranger

  • Now available

  • Good phone ,but doesn't have wifi ac who it's a pitty,in my opinion it's a great mistake from Asus,and rear cameras are a litle bit weak both.Otherwise if this device had ac wifi norma and better cams it will be a sucessfull top salle.

  • Update: got the Samsung A10 instead.

  • Finally got the latest Android Pie update for this phone! No more screen flicker issue and its working pretty good!

  • very happy with this phone

  • microUSB, yer killin' me! This could be a contender for best mid-range phone, if only ASUS hadn't gone with microUSB! I'll have to go with a Redmi, I think.

  • Where to buy this phone. Always not available in flipkart. Please help

  • Hey, I saw your problem. Just check again in the software update because it has got the Android Pie DEVELOPER BETA. I used for like a month or so and I have also got the Pie BETA. Currently I am testing out the Redmi Note 7 Pro 6gb RAM which was delivered to my house just today morning while I was at my school

  • May i know, is it true that Zenfone Max Pro M3 will be made and launch this year? If it is, when Max Pro M3 will be officially launch?

  • This phone is a battery life king

  • Asus pie still on beta if you yo try download ota and flash it manualy

  • I do not get any pie update on my device but my friend get it is very disappointed for me

  • I bought this phone on the first day of launch in January 2019, it is an excellent phone overall for gaming & day to day activities but one major problem what i faced was the low ear piece volume, phone can't be used for receiving calls or calling in public places which forced me to exchange the phone within 3 months of time, i am regret to say that this phone can't even fulfill the basic purpose of having mobile(For Talking).

  • yes,micro usb is a bit disappoinment. but other than that,i think this phone is good on all aspect

  • The fact that ASUS still using microUSB for their phones is a big down for me.. and im pretty sure im not the only one here.

  • No it does not have.

  • Does asus max pro m2 have slow motion video?

  • Seems the only little problem left is the micro usb port instead of usb type c. should I grab this or wait for max 3 pro? (no info yet, but probably has better specs and usb type c)

  • good design and battery life,the only little downside is micro usb

  • Max pro m2 battery is 5000 but it is similar to redmi and realme 4000 mah phones, that is because of no software optiomzation from asus.On the otherhand regarding update it is the worst brand in the market right now.

  • The phone is alright. So far so good. Battery is good. It is advertised as "close to Android One". I thought I would get to enjoy all the latest updates. Eg, Android security patch version is still Feb 1 2019 when May is coming in another few days. And, Pie is no where to be seen yet. These are the software updates. Asus is very bad at it. If you just want a reliable, 3-days-battery phone, and care nothing about security and Android P Q R S. Asus will do just fine.

  • Most forums are a joke. Happy owners don't go there. Only people with complaints post on forums. Your just trolling here.

  • On the market for this phone and all I understand about the issues are about the op system upgrade. Definitely should stick to stock Android, shall post updates later.

  • does asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 have call recording facility???

  • pls pls help me i am unable unable to use this mobile after pie update.no fix update available.

  • perhaps. i live outside of india so i usually get FOTA updates around 1 or 2 days after they get theirs.

  • Look at all the complaints in the forum. Find me thread that the praises Asus for their software updates.

  • Just buy the phone elsewhere...simple

  • I have been waiting for more than 50 days and this phone is still out of stock in Flipkart. THey have slashed the price but it is of no use if it is unavailable for almost 2 months. Can anyone tell me when will it be available to buy?

  • a great phone on all aspect,,waiting for stable pie update

  • You are right. I used to buy sony phones.sony phones never dissopinted me.This time i thought to try sth different hoping that asus will support costumer with good stock android.unfortunately they showed real image by their poor software n support.This my first and last asus phone.i will never buy asus phone.

  • Yes,i believed this phone has very good specification n price but my screen (many users also saying same)) is blinking on and off automatically and to type this also it takes so long time.such a good phone is desteoyed by worst software.(update)asus officials have hidden their face like a rat/mouse after this update.No any official announcement or statement is given till now.Asus is very bad.

  • BUG, After Pie Update Phone In Continuesly Screen Blinking, This is The BiG issue ,

  • Using this phone for one month, i can say it is very good. glad to have it

  • so India being test field for newest firmware ?

  • Don't buy this phone: 1. If you've a psychological need to have the latest OS update and feel insulted using Oreo. 2. If its price is much higher in your country than Realme 3 or Realme U1. Buy this phone if you want: 1. One of the best battery life in this price range. Play PUBG non stop for around 7 hours. 2. Amazing performance that can handle any heavy workload you place on it, both in UI and gaming (Can play PUBG smoothly in HD graphics, High frame rate, Realistic mode). 3. Solid build quality (Completely okay after being dropped from the height of 6ft on all 6 sides, except corners - wasn't dropped on corners). 4. A phone that isn't water proof but still works fine even after staying an hour in water. Just let it dry first just to be safe. 5. Stable, battery efficient and fast OS thanks to Stock Android. 6. Decent camera (Improved further with Gcam). 7. Big screen but lightweight phone. 8. A phone that comes with its Kernel set up to favour performance by default. 9. Provides regular updates to resolve issues and improve your experience.

  • Stunning build quality,very good battery life

  • Shame on asus team that even after such problematic update they are not speaking out or not asking for apology with their customers.very cheap and disgusting behaviour from asus mobile.

  • + good and perfect for multitasking,games,screen and battery so fantastic.. - sound not good, no nfc (come on asus)..

  • Love this performance phone & battery is awsome.

  • Totally wrong. I've had the Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) for 6 months and with stable regular updates. I'm a happy owner of the new Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2), but will wait a bit for the Pie update.

  • I'm using the phone. OS: Oreo. Everything is fine. However, if you are the person who wish to have regular updates, Please think twice. Asus's updates is the worst among android phones. After checking google, there are brands that provide consistent updates for at least two years. Get those phones instead.

  • Elegant design & fast performance..good

  • It also has no dual band wifi too bad

  • Too bad it doesn't have usb type C, and no 128GB ver, everything else is fine. I hope they will release a m3 pro with such things, along with SD 730 or at least 675, 665

  • I believe I can fly...... Jokes aside, I updated to Pie only find my screen blinks every two seconds. There's no Digital Wellbeing. And then there's UI bug which pops a circle around the pill (the navigational button at the bottom). And that's just the stuff I bothered to figure out! Yes, I couldn't believe it at first either. Asus couldn't have possibly been this incompetent, but they are. What's worse? This phone is almost useless until we get a patch to fix their bugs, and knowing Asus it's probably not coming any time soon. If any at all. Sad though, the hardware and design were pretty good.

  • most people outside of india never got the FOTA update as it was recalled before other batches even get theirs. so we cant say for sure about that

  • Very big battery on a slim and lightweight body..this phone is an engineering marvel

  • Lmao! I knew it that pie is much fine in the update. Others that yeiling here are just called complaining directly without even checking first as to what has changed after the update, maybe other defaults have changed yet you can fix it by exploring the device, settings etc. I really believe pie is stable, others are just too busy complaining without proper observations/checking to their device.

  • screen flickering started after Android Pie update. ASUS guys did not do anything till date they do not care about their customers. so, if you buy their phone and something happen to the phone, they do not care at all. even if they offer gold phone with cheap rate, do not buy it. this is my first and last update. DON'T BUY THEIR PRODUCT. THEY ARE CHEATERS. Thanks all.

  • Yet i not recvd pie update on my max pro m2...y???plz tell me anybody...y this hppning to me😒😒

  • Great phone with outstanding battery life,glad to have it

  • GeekBench shows me model number of my device is asus Asus_X01BDA and showing 4 Core @ 1.84GHz and 4 Core @ 1.96 GHz. I don't know why the information is wrong about model number and Clock Speed. Do ZB631KL and X01BDA are 2 different devices?? Do Asus have conned me???

  • Seriously for me there's no such problem or bug that ruined my device. The update was stable for me but just missing some good features like digital wellbeing and camera2api.

  • Pie was served undercooked... Lots of users in India reporting bugs and issues (Flickering screen). Update roll out has been halted. Stick with Oreo for now and wait for Asus to finish re-baking the pie! Too bad... The phone is so good for its price, ruined by the update...

  • No it's not working even in pie update.

  • My phone(m2) heats up if I use mobile data with screen brightness on 50% and playing Mobile legends. Its normal or not?

  • This phone have beautiful design and very good battery life

  • What is your problem? the update will come, other brands oblige to wait much longer. The phone is very good, especially for this price. I prefer Asus to Samsung or other flagships, good quality and satisfaction. Especially battery in M2.

  • I'm also facing this problem.but the question is if the problem being solved by the service center in ur phone???? Reply plz.......!!!

  • Agreed.I will never buy any smartphone from Asus. This was my first time and this is last time.

  • I used to think Asus is a good brand but it is clearly proved by their multiple mistakes that it is the cheapest brand. Even Micromax and lava can provide stable and usable update.shame on you Asus and its ind.. ceo.i will never buy asus mobile again.

  • i am interested

  • My phone is yet new with no scratches and no issue, 4gb ram variant blue colour, if you wish to buy it from me I will sold it to you at rs 8000

  • I wish to buy zenfone max pro (M2) at DELHI India but all online stores are showing out of stock? Can anyone help in this matter???

  • Do not update to pie then

  • Nice phone

  • Bro don't even think about updating to pie it is worst update ever with lots of bug and screen blinking ,i am also facing this issues

  • Thankyou Asus India for promoting "Realme 3 pro" by giving software problems in this update.This is too much ,Now we know that we have to kick Asus and follow Real me brand.

  • Just after pie update screen blinking starts.....worst update

  • The worst update, many user have reported screen blinking off issues(new bug), nothing new and improvements. Every previous bugs that had been reported on Oreo and pie beta still remains the same.Those should be fixed. Asus team is ignoring costumers complains. This is their biggest mistake. This is my first Asus device,buggy,laggy... In going to sell it for upcoming realme 3 pro,and will never recommend anyone to buy Asus Mobile.

  • More sweet after pie update

  • Does anyone here have charging issues with this phone? Mine suddenly stopped charging with the wall charger it came in. I tried different cables too. I connect the phone to my PC and it charges with it.

  • Hello, I got this phone one week ago, still have to transfer my sms and app data, and to swap sim card... only on wifi for now, works great ! But is is possible to get the latest stable (non-beta) Pie update even if you're not living in india ? For those who did update already; is it working smoothly ? Any comments ?

  • Finally got the Android pie update.. file size is 1.69GB.. phone has become smooth now.. battery backup seems to have gone up. Adaptive display has become accurate. No improvement in camera. Better to use Gcam.

  • Those who have updated to stable Android pie please tell us whether LTE lock option working or not

  • Same, i dont max out my volume everytime i play the speakers, usually max would be just up to 80% but out of curiousity i tried 100% to test if those distortion issues does also occur on my device but none, or maybe my ears weren't just as perfectionist as with someone who really is so particular with sound quality through speakers, lol!

  • Yes. It was announced that stable fota pie update will roll out this april 20..

  • Can support upgrade to Android 9.0?

  • the speakers does get some noise at high volumes, but its so loud i dont ever need to go over 40% lol

  • where can i buy the global version of this device.....any recommendations??

  • Nope. The speakers are pretty much fine with enough clarity/quality at max volume though i don't do it often as i'm more into playing with headset and just put my volume around 60%.

  • Are you facing tiny distortion sound in the speaker when you increase the volume to 100%?A lot of people are talked about it. Even Gsmarena admitted it. I bought the phone just 2 days ago. I am thinking about to replace my phone. Is it normal or are you facing it ?

  • More than 2 months of ownership and still very happy satifsfied(6gb ram 64gb rom variant). Micro usb isn't a big deal for me, well we have our own preferences, if you can't live w/o type c, that's not my problem. Does every update that rolls out and haven't face any issues. I just don't know what others have been doing with their phones to cause major issues with their device, not just with max pro m2 but almost all devices i search to read feedbacks from the owners. I'm a very basic man and just downloaded few apps necessary for my needs, kiwi as my browser as preinstalled chrome is absolute garbage atleast for me. Games? Just asphalt 8 and asphalt 9 but i play more on asphalt 8 especially multiplayer, i just can't trade its gameplay over asphalt 9, though i downloaded a9 just for the phone's pride to prove it can handle heavy games even if it's underclocked coz gpu can manage the game well. It's just the stock headset that is a total disappointment that i did bought a new one and paired it with jetaudio(an underrated superb music player in terms of sound quality) to have a great music experience and speakers btw is also good, not as great as bose or dolby but isn't the worst either. I'm confident of 2 years owning this before upgrading to a new device maybe, just maybe like how i owned zenfone max for 2 years before i switched to this and now my younger sister is happy when i gave my previous phone to her. I have been wiping my phone with my shirt often, no tempered glass or screen protector installed and i can tell the glass used for this phone is tough enough not to get scratch unless you have hands as sharp as chainsaw, i just bought case for it(what i always do when my phone is brand new, a year after then i dont care if it gets dents and scratches everywhere for as long as the phone still functions).

  • This phone support dual app..yes or no?

  • Is there anyone who is facing some distortion or cracking sound in speaker? I am facing this problem when i increase the volume to 100%.No problems in headphones.

  • Please does it have pre install dual application inside and also artificial intelligence program. thanks

  • NO

  • Still nice, best phone i've ever used

  • how about now, is it still nice?

  • Make sure your both SIM card should be 4G enable for example (VOLTE)

  • Of course! No.

  • The city where we bought our units doesnt have blue color and went through all malls and stores but all titanium and my wife really wants the blue one. I also want our phones differ in color so it's easier to recognize hers and mine. But we couldn't wait for the arrival of another batch of blue ones so we bought titanium. And so we bought different cases instead to solve confusion. :) Stable pie is coming in april 20 btw. Better late than the promised 1st release for as long as the update is stable.

  • Is it waterproof?

  • Does the display touch sensor work just under the earpiece in this phone or work only the both sides of the notch/earpiece???

  • Very good phone

  • Micro USB/////and not fast charge damn

  • dont know4india. i bought recently in philippines. download droid hardware info( ) and also it say, NO NFC

  • no NFC in Indian version

  • stupid network issue, network jumps between 4G and 3G, keep this issue in mind before investing in it

  • But why not dualband wifi ,I can't use my 500mb/s fibre 5g internet since it's only can connect to 2.4ghz wifi band

  • my m2 pro come with No NFC in indonesia version... maybe usefull...

  • Despite many midranger,,this one is still the best

  • Mine takes 2 hours sometimes less than 2 hours to fully charged and it's fast enough for me because i came from zenfone max that takes 4-5 hours of turtle charging before the battery gets full. 😂

  • Max Pro M2 is now overprice due to the entry of samsung midrange phone like the A50 with some specs closer or more than the M2 plus features that had been built with android pie. It seems asus rush the release of M2 anticipating samsung re-entry to midrange market. Considering that M2 has not yet rolled out pie update despite phone is near stock android is also show that they are not that ready when they release M2 few months ago.

  • How long it took you charging from around 10% to fully 100% charged guys? If it took you guys more than 2 hours then there is NO fast charging over there. Qualcomm QC 4 only took em 1 hour 40 mins to full charged with 5000 mAh battery

  • You cannot use this phone in exchange policy of Flipkart and Amazon while buying another new phone. They are not taking this phone because this phone is so wonderful

  • just bought this phone for 2 days,overall, great experience with it

  • Pie beta build is available, if it is not even there then I will have to skip this device, but loved its overall design, soc, camera.....

  • Yep, LTE lock does not work, this is a big problem for many gamers since you get a lot of ping spikes up and down especially if you are using JIO network(indian), so many loss and chokes in ping, funny thing is LTE lock was provided out of box but later disabled through update by the developers.

  • Thanks bro, but lte lock issue will be a great problem for me since I am a gamer, no solutuin for that? Heard even force LTE apps wont work!! Now I am very much confused between Realme 2 pro, I dont like real me 2 pro back side design with a tiny battery capacity :(

  • GG6 is not more scratch resistant than GG3. but it is more shatter resistant. in order to make the glass more resilient to breaking it has to become softer, which is why its more prone to scratches

  • 1. True. 2. Not true. Sounds loud. Quality is Normal. 3. Havent tested. I slapped a tempered glass on mine. I'll add a fourth one 4. The back case gets scratched easily. Stick a vinyl sticker or dont get exposed to dusty environment if you dont want yours scratched.

  • Heard 3 disturbing cons about this phone, (1) LTE does not lock, even force Lte apps do not work, (2) Call quality is bad, mic sound is very low, (3) the gorilla glass 6 is more prone to get scratched than gorilla glass 3, the gorilla glass 6 is harder but it gets scratched easier than Gorilla glass 3 version, are all these truth?

  • Very satisfied with this phone

  • Now that Redmi Note 7 / Pro series are coming, asus needs to set lower prices on Max Pro M2 series if they want to keep rivals Xiaomi. Otherwise, redmi note 7 / note 7 pro will lead the market

  • haha it really is not. Normal phone with Fast Charging in 5000 mAh battery would take maximum 2 hours to fully charged.

  • Those who has manually updated to android pie beta build, does the LTE band lock work or its the same as before?

  • I think its normal that it takes 4 hours since it has a big battery life.. its just the same with my asus max...it has 5000 mah and it would really take 4 hours to fully charged.

  • can i know how long has u been using it? how is it? worth it to buy?

  • Very good design and battery life

  • My phone's depth sensor is not working, charging is very slow it takes 4 hours to full charge, can anyone help

  • Did the LTE lock issue come with the last update? Could it lock lte before the last update? Lock lte issue will be very annoying since I am also using a stock android phone which cant lock lte, though it can lock lte with 3rd party force lte apps, now it has become confusing for me to choose between Real me 2 pro and Max pro m2

  • Are this compatible with wireless charging?

  • Very good phone

  • Hi, my m2 max pro has a feed back on video call at the other end. They complain that their voice is repeated every time they talk. Are there any fix on this? Tia

  • An addition of 6/128gb variant would be nice. Maybe in red, while keeping the affordable price.

  • Good phone, nice design, good performance, glad to have it

  • don't give wrong solutions because it doesn't work. LTE band still can't be fixed! damn ASUS, i starting to think i wasted my money buying this phone with a very simple feature of data conectivity being so much of a burden. even cheaper phones have smooth data connection compared to this!

  • same problem here...The connectivity to LTE is very unstable and tends to always switch to 3g or 2g even if 4g is available. I have also tried numerous troubleshooting like installing apps that will fix it to 4g, even the *#*#4636#*#* thing...everything doesn't work. I am beginning to have regrets on buying this phone because of these issues. I should have waited for that Galaxy a50, maybe it would have been better.

  • Nice phone. Only minus without 802.11ac.

  • thank you for confirming :)

  • i will buy asus zenfone max pro m2 and i am a havy user will thise divise can perform well? i have heared it has some serrious problems like battery draining, touch probs etc is it true plz help😢😢

  • I had no problems. You can copy the ringtones to the internal notifications folder. It works.

  • Very good. No problems.

  • Much more pros. Nice big display with good contrast and brightness, quite good camera, marvellous battery.

  • Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro has hybrid sim slot though

  • Pros and Cons about this mobile phone? Anyone?

  • Beautiful phone with great battery endurance

  • I wish Note 7/ Note 7 pro has dedicated sd card slot.

  • Note 7 pro has better processor, better camera, better notch design, Antutu benchmark score M2 vs note7 pro is 1,30,000+/1,80,000

  • if u want to buy this phone, i suggest u wait until they roll out pie on 15 april and see how it goes. if u arent willing to wait, or the update is terrible, then pick other phone

  • Hey i want to ask that i would like to buy an good proccesor phone.which one is best ASUSMAXPROM2 or MI NOTE7 PRO?

  • how is the touch responsibility and Wifi/internet network capabilities of this phone? please tell me

  • Should i buy now, or wait for m3? Helppp

  • Copy that music to Ringtones folder in internal memory and go to settings and select that music

  • I have bought this phone after only using samsung. This phone is really good. And the battery is amazing. The only thing that bothers me is setting a ringtone from the music gallery. How do I do that?

  • The ad hasn't popped up, so problem solved right? Sure an installed app caused that. If so, then every mpm2 users could have face that issue as well but no i haven't.

  • I off most of the apps background data, i also did a clear cache partition, used safe mode for some time. Updated to latest version. And till now the ad hasn't popped up.

  • You may have been using another launcher or there could be an app installed that causes your phone to have that pop ups as i do not have that issue since the time i bought my max pro m2 and did every update that comes. That issue you got obviously isn't the phone's fault.

  • Does it have a in-built call recorder??

  • does it have fast charging ? Or an ambiant light sensor ?

  • ah okay im sorry i though its enabled again, but the ghost touch really hasnt occurred again for me though, so that one is true

  • Your phone have been infected by adware from internet. Use Malwarebyte anti malware to clean your phone.

  • While playing pubg one side of the screen looks rounded and the other part never becomes rounded, it doesnot look that nice for me, is there any solution to make both the corcers rounded?

  • Popup ad might occur from a launcher that has been installed.

  • Great phone so far

  • Nope bro i am using asus max pro m2. And the pop up ads are from snapdeal showing products. Most of the time it pops up even when my phone is locked. I mean when i unlock my phone the ads is already popped up and first thing i see is the full-screen ad after i unlock my phone. And no i don't have snapdeal app installed

  • No, still we can't lock lte band. Why would you lie like that man ? Why are you giving wrong info without any knowledge. With every updates asus provide, bugs increase more, so i never wanted to update it.

  • Are you using Xiaomi phone ? Because only Xiaomi phone do have pop up adv. I owns Max Pro M1 and M2 there is no pop up adv but my old Redmi Note 3 and 4 do have pop up adv.

  • yes u can do that again now. plus the ghost touch issue is fixed now too

  • Anyone updated to .192 released 12 march today ? Can we lock lte band now ?

  • Yes, full-screen ads popped out of nowhere in my phone too recently. Stock android, they say, haha.

  • still having ghost touch pulling the notification bar sometimes, happens often when phone starts to heat up or low battery, but at times as early as 50%. tbh im not sure if its the TG but iirc it only starts to happen since the first FOTA

  • The battery life of this phone make me really happy

  • is touch issue resolved ?. or still facing the same issue

  • Hi I just wanna ask if its just my max pro m2 or other android phones but recently some full screen ads suddenly popping out of knowhere I tried uninstalling some apps but it still pops

  • sounds quality via headphone is very bad and its fell like a 3-5 k phone....

  • Max Pro M2 because better chipset and bigger battery.

  • Definitely max pro m2 over redmi note 6 pro,it has better processor and better battery life

  • What be$t for gaming??? Max pro M2 or Xioami Note 6 pro.

  • rn6 pro has sd636 8*1.8 ghz octacore kryo 260 gpu adreno 509 n max pro m2 has sd660 4*1.95ghz ,4*1.8ghz octa core kryo 260 gpu adreno 512 yes u get an underclockd sd660 in max pro m2 but stil max pro m2 is a bit bettr compard to rn6 pro at gaming.

  • What be$t for gaming? Max pro M2 or Xiaomi Note 6 pro

  • exact 175 grams do check it .

  • Hey i can't lock my lte so i want to root this phone, and after rooting won't i get pie update ? And did anyone rooted and what os is the best to use ? Is it more buggy after rooting, i heard the sound quality decreases too after rooting ? Anyone help

  • Asus stock headset is the only thing i can say not worth it on this phone so just buy an earphones of your choice.

  • It's about 180 gram

  • Amazing battery life,good design

  • Thank

  • I dont know what max pro m2 are you using as to why you feel the speakers to be not good because my max pro m2 has a better speakers not to the extend of dolby atmos but of course this is just a midrange phone and how the speakers sound is just a lot better for this price. And i agree, the stock headset on this phone is not good and i expect it from asus that's why i bought alibaba earphones and now im super enjoying the music using jet audio and blackplayer apps as my music player.

  • Put your 4G card at Sim1, lock 4G using *#*#4636#*#*

  • May I ask if how heavy or how lite is this mobile? Thanks.

  • I got lagg issues in my zen max pro M2 6/64 GB since i bought this phone, everytime i use this phone for playing online game...the ping always jumps like from 40ms to 300++ms. Is anyone having the same problem like me? Note: i tried to use my SIM card in another device and its not laggy, so the problem is not with the SIM card that i use

  • Just update it. We(me and my wife) immediately updated our max pro m2 right after we bought it and doesn't have any issues so far. This phone is just superb, 2 hours sometimes less than 2 hours charging is fast enough for me as my previous phone(zenfone max) takes 4-5 hours of turtle charging before the battery gets full.

  • Greatest phone

  • It's so satisfying to be able to game a lot on this phone without any need to charge it for an entire day. I wish more phone manufacturers start putting bigger batteries in their phones or at least make some versions with bigger battery capacity. I won't mind the extra thiccness.

  • Don't update, and also type *#*#4636#*#* and see if you can lock to lte

  • Hello guys... I have bought Asus ZenFone max Pro m2 today... There is an update of 700mb something.. should i update it or wait... I mean the update is stable or not just wanted to ask this is there any touch issues or battery issues after update.. Thanks for your humble replies..

  • asus is best from xiaomi

  • Asus is biting the dust in the competition from xiaomi and Samsung. They reduced the price almost Rs 3000 from the initial launch price with in 2 months. Max Pro M2 sells for Rs 10k for 3gb version, they were selling it for Rs 13K during launch.

  • Max pro m2 is better than redmi note 7. max pro m2 have bigger battery, less weight, more compact, and asus should provide better software support

  • Max pro M2 is features missing phone. headphones sound not support sarounding sound effect.means headphones sound quality like a keypad mobile sound. No 3d effect in headphone. Asus is cheating with mobile features

  • Is camera good?

  • I can't decide between Max Pro M2 and Redmi note 7. Which one perform better? I also want big battery on Max Pro M2.

  • Im really satisfied with the overall performance. The battery lasts a day and all i need is here. The main issue i dont like is the Plastic Back as it scratches easily. Other than that it is okay. Max Pro M2 is like a pushed decision for Asus as its competitors are beating Max Pro M1 (huawei, Xiaomi, etc.) Thats why it was released after 7months of the m1. But with the SD675 recently released. I dont think it will be hitting the midrange phones until after a year. Of you can wait until the last quarter of this year, go do it. sD675 is a huge update from 660. But if not, id say go for the m2.

  • sounds good for me bro if m2 pro not really overheating for playing a long time..so that worth it to buy m2 pro this year or i just waiting for m3 pro(rumours) or buy another model..tq bro

  • Just bought it,and very satisfied with it

  • Asus smartphone always releases out of date spec.

  • Yes

  • Depends on your setting. But on Graphics intensive games, it gets hot but not to the point of overheating. Its quite normal i must say.

  • Using it for last 1 month. I think it does not support HSPA+ as I am not finding any H+ network. And it is a big problem for browsing especially in places where no 4g is found.

  • hi bro..do you have asus max pro m2 right?i want ask little bit bout that hope you can help me..when playing heavy games for 2@3 hours non stop the m2 really hot and have lagging or not?i want buy m2 too but i want know about gaming perfomance coz i want use m2 for my new gaming device..thanks

  • Around 11-12k for the 4GB + 64GB variant. They just gave it a permanent price cut on e-commerce sites.

  • Great phone,the design and battery life are amazing

  • No NFC on this phone

  • the front camera is so so bad. Fix it fast.

  • Are the dual sim card slot are both lte? And can be use simultanenously for lte?

  • Good phone,very satisfied

  • Am sorry for accusing you of lying. Can you remove the hate i built in your heart for accusing of lying ? I know not everybody but some people are out there who never lies and can go crazy if accused of lying

  • Just bought this item and it was Superb. Gaming performance is smooth, display is wide, no overheating issues, and lots of wonderful features for this unit. Even the camera and its apps

  • malaysia unit also included headset, and yes, the sound quality is bad. my old zenfone 2 stock headset sounds alot better (amazingly still works fine after 3 years)

  • I have one for 3 weeks, and already asked for a refund. It's a wonderfull phone but, there is a very big but, it's full of bugs. Bluetooth constant error. Camera error while on video call. network error I think is a bad firmware/OS ,the problem is that ASUS don´t give any kind of useful support. Another major problem, the camera app is to basic, doesn't even make panorama photos.

  • My phone has a stock headset and yes i am not happy with it that's why im using my old samsung's earphones. i dont know which country that sells this phone w/o a headset but here in the philippines it has. Lying? Lmao! Unit includes charger, headset, earbuds, clear case and manual.

  • no, its not supported

  • Very nice phone

  • I actually fully understand what you want. This is because at my country region, there is one Telco that offer free 20GB data for new sim card, but those datais only free on 4G network, the free data won't work when the phone connect to 3G & 2G. So, same as you, I set my phone to lock on only LTE, means only connect to 4G, then I able to utilize the data. The bad thing about this is because voice call is still 3G, so I can't receive any call. On some telco, I did face the issue where the 4G signal is low, then I have to switch telco. IMHO, switching better telco in my area with better signal is the best solution. Because funny enough, at many area at my country region, 3G actually is faster than 4G, where at many dead spot, 4G totally is unusable despite having 4G signal, then 3G actually has much more stable signalling, so most time I just let the phone to connect to the network it prefer to connect. Well, main problem is still on the telco where they fail to provide quality coverage on all area. I know this is case by case. Yes, hope they bring back the code to lock on 4G signal.

  • Has it fast charging syste?

  • Everything is good except the stock headset haha

  • very satisfied with this phone

  • All points you mentioned are right except Android One program. It is not Android One program, it is stock android with few Asus apps (like Camera, FM & Calculator) and ASUS never been in Android One program.

  • No dude, i have tried installing those force lte apps, it's not working, without this feature the network keeps switching between various bands and thus consumes more battery according to the region. When you lock the network to lte only, the network gets lock with one band and thus keeps ping stable without any choke and loss. I hope this feature will be back in next update or else am selling this phone away. I know many users doesn't understand what i am taking about but most gamers will. I have seen other users talking about this issue in some asus forums. Even cheap cheap phones that cost half the price of asus pro m2 have this feature. You can try this yourself, dial *#*#4636#*#* and try to lock the network to lte only , you will notice that it's again reset to default multiple network something like (TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS). when i use this phone for first time i could do this but after update features gone so clearly this is not a hardware issue but software and it can surely be fix if asus does fix it if not well i am going for something else and will not cry about this anymore.

  • Got try after factory reset? Weird that 1st time I heard this. Well, VoLTE is what you use, then this lock on LTE mode is very useful. However, the problem is VoLTE is not all area is covered by LTE signal, thus sometime it become less useful. I don't think majority people would like to lock on the LTE. But of course, cannot lock onto LTE with *#*#4636#*#* is pretty weird. You may install a apps called "Force LTE Only" to see if you able to open the setting.

  • In J7 Pro, this surround sound need to be turn on? Or it is surround by default?

  • Only Taiwan version has NFC, global version that sold globally don't has NFC. It is market specific.

  • If we are talking about power here, Samsung M20 < Moto One < Max Pro M2

  • Does not have NFC

  • Samsung M20 is far Behind ASUS max Pro M2. M20's equivalent is Max M2

  • IMO,,zenfone max pro m2 is better then galaxy m20. max pro m2 is equip with more superior processor and gpu,plus android one program

  • Moto one power

  • So you are not happy with the stock headset ?? But there is no headset included, so your opinion is a lie, i don't think you own this phone.

  • Same with me the answer This phone have NFC Cause the spesification say it have NFC But when i question to the seller,its dont have it So the real one is what? NFC OR DONT HAVE

  • Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 M vs Samsang M20 which one best for heavy use and day to day use for long time

  • Is it have NFC ?

  • The only gripe i have on this phone is the PLASTIC back. I used mine with a case on(default Case included in the box) and it had micro scratches at the back. Yes. The BACK does get EASILY SCRATCHED. so get a 3rd party dustproof case because once dust comes at the back, it will definitely scratch your phone. With case or without case.

  • Superb phone for gaming, tough body, cool design, but some time get too warm. Few days later, I flashed a custom rom to get what I need :v

  • Super phone with reasonable price

  • Max pro M2 is big features missing phone. Headphones sound quality not support sarounding sound effect. Headphones sound quality like 2006-7 years mobile phone.waste my 15k. Miss my j7 pro

  • This or Nokia 6.1 Plus?

  • best underratted phone ,,,,, i use this phone almost 2 month but never feel laggy,,,, heavey games like pubg played easily 6-7 hour without heat(but little bit warm),, phone never feels heavy rear cam good with stock cam or if you enable camera 2 api mode result was excellent with both cam ,,, but stock cam front cam job done well but not great,,, if want some common features like slow-mo or screen recording u depanded on third party apps like asus pixel master cam record 120fps hd video but stock cam not capable

  • Been using this phone for 2 weeks already and i must say it's a superb phone. This is an upgrade from a zenfone max(1st gen) to this. The only drawback i could find about this phone is its stock headset, same as my old zenfone max, asus just can't make good earphones as freebies though my samsung earphones still works, so it's the one i use for this phone when i play music. But rest of the specs, from build quality to specs, i must say this phone is outstanding.

  • No, this phone doesn't support slow motion video capture.

  • Just using it for three days, i can say it's an amazing phone

  • This phone is slow motion video support

  • I have a Bluetooth wireless woofer.1st I am try 3d MP3 song by Asus max pro M2 . M2 fails gave me sarounding sound(canected by Bluetooth no use wire). After them I am try 3d MP3 song by j7 pro.its play amazing sarounding sound and 3d effect in both speaker. This time 200% sure that it's technical issue of asus max pro m2

  • Give the name different headphones. I am 110% sure it's technical issue in max pro M2 . headphones sound not support sarounding sound effect. 3d MP3 not play sarounding sound quality in headphone.its features is missing in max pro m2

  • Very good phone

  • Then get a screen protector or tempered glass

  • You should have got the zenfone 5 or 5q or 5z, this phone focuses on performance than cameras

  • try a different earphones / headphones first before you make negative comments... OR change the equalizer settings in the music app

  • I am use Samsung original headphone . It's also play sarounding effectin j7 pro. One more headphones than it's also play sarounding in j7 pro when this headphone is not branded.

  • *#*#4636#*#* that's not working bro, if you have this phone you can check yourself it's not working, the fact that out of box it was working but after the couple of updates locking network mode is not working is making me more mad

  • Beautiful, reasonable price, overall good experience with this phone

  • *#*#4636#*#* ?

  • Not been able to lock the network mode to lte only which is why it consumes more battery in network issue area, and also i get ping issue due to this during games i get ping drop which causes lag , don't buy asus, am never going to buy asus phones again in life, this kind of problem is driving me crazy, all other phones i use i could lock network mode, i am not having a happy experience at all. Stay away from asus phone

  • This phone is a battery life king

  • the asus team really need to hurry up with the touch issue fix. forget Pie, rush that first

  • change your head phone...

  • does asus zenfone max pro m2 support fast battery charging

  • The build quality is stunning, performance is very fast,,good phone

  • Maybe u should check the setting like wifi, GPS, NFC, scan nearby,etc. Try to turn the off, see if it work. I personally have a great time with the battery on this phone

  • Normally just "bought 1 day", battery life will be very bad because Android system still configuring your system in the background, there might be data usage, and also processor usage, thus it will drain battery. Charge it few time later for a few day later to see if battery still drain only to comfirm if battery drain is still happen.

  • Battery is draining too fast... I just bought it 1 day ago.... What's the solution

  • is the back camera good for taking landscapeshots? or sunsets and sunrises? most asus phones have bad cameras that's why im sceptical :( help me out pls

  • Here are the real comments, ASUS are known for slow updates for their phone, and will cease updates for their phone after 2 years. If this bother you, then you might have to consider others brand. Of course, not much choices to choose also, Honor brand and Realme brand also well known for their slow update also. For Xiaomi, they actually update differently where for around 3 years, they update their MIUI rather than Android version for their Redmi series, and now they also practice the same thing where they will also cease support for older device, even the Android One MiA2 also only got promise for max 3 years of support only, update become slow after 2 years. That's the thing for Android world, and this happen to flagship phone too. Like it or hate it, at the end it doesn't really matter as manufacturer encourage user to change their phone yearly by releasing newer and better model each year. Either you stop chasing for the replacement or upgrade, or you will end up chasing the trend no end.

  • As always, there is always wait until this, wait until that, then what time is the best time to buy smartphone? 1st quarter? 2nd quarter? 3rd quarter or 4th quarter? You will realized that this is no end waiting. How about I wait for next year for much cheaper and better specs phone compare to those released today? Or wait until the price drop where new phone keep releasing every month?

  • Yes

  • Wait for Samsung M30.

  • I've been using this phone a month. I can say that this phone is very good on all aspect. The battery life is amazing

  • By reading overall comments, seems average users are overexpecting a cheap smartphone again. This phone are at the price bracket of Honor 8X, Realme 2 Pro, Redmi Note 6 Pro, Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi Mi8 Lite. Compare to these smartphone first before saying this phone lack NFC, crappy Gorilla Glass 6, and say it doesn't has type C port. Glass is still glass and there always people complain about the glass durability whenever new version of Gorilla glass being released. Yes, all are false advertisements, unless true sapphire glass is implemented, even though sapphire will also break if being dropped.

  • is it upgradable to Android 9 ?

  • Please provide battery endurance rating for this phone

  • Very good and almost perfect phone

  • Watched a durability test of this phone and it's display scratched way to easy, but drops didn't bother it much.

  • How come Gorilla Glass 6 easily break after 3 feet falls(almost 1 metre) ? I beliefs the display glass either an older version of GG or not a GG at all maybe Asus use another type glass like Asahi Dragontrail or something else. If this to be true then buy a strong tempered glass is a solutions. I put a tempered glass on mine and its become less responsive but its give extra protections if the phone falls and can save me INR6000 from GG 6 replacement.

  • I I hope c-type & fast charging would be good

  • It was a great phone,,great build quality,great battery life

  • Thank you brother

  • Hey guys is there a 3/32gb version of the pro m2? With snapdragon 660???

  • 64GB very big for me

  • Been using the phone for almost 2 months and here are my views/findings: 1) Stock phone (without any firmware updates) is good so far; battery live is good (I get more than 1 day of moderate-heavy use: gaming for 2-3 hours, music/movies for 2-3 hours, etc.). Compared to my S9+ it can last 40%-50% longer (almost all same apps are installed on S9+). 2) Camera/photo taking is so-so.... I don't use the gcam hack. 3) I use Greenify (non-root) to auto hibernate most apps and they don't seem to misbehave or auto run in background; unlike Samsung which some apps always constantly running in background and cannot be kept in hibernated mode, the same apps for some reasons doesn't misbehave in M2! 4) Charging: has some sort of fast "Charging Rapidly" mode but only works with certain adapters! You need to experiment with min. 2A adapters and check whether "Charging Rapidly" is shown on the lock screen after a min. or so. Asus really need to just implement QC2.0/3.0! 5) Screen: not as good as OLED in sid-by-side comparison. However I don't think this is a deal breaker for me as I have no problem watching videos, gaming on it... 6) 64GB internal storage is too small for me! This is my only gripe with M2... I got games, musics and videos.... Tried using SD/TF card to store my Spotify music but somehow the M2 will reboot occassionally, maybe due to the TF card either not detected or maybe lose connection momentarily. Spotify will then start to re-download all the songs onto my internal memory; filling all up and hanging the phone! Will try to see if changing to a new TF card will fix this issue. Last but not least: Do not update firmware yet until Asus sort out all issues!

  • Problem Statement: I was dropped my Max Pro M2 mobile phone accidentally from my pant pocket which was 3 feet distance and Corning Gorilla Glass has damaged severely but my mobile display and all other functionality works well & good. When I tried to reach Asus via Toll Free, they suggested me to reach out to Chennai-Egmore & Mount Road service center and these centers are authorized service center for Asus Mobile Phones/Laptops. Bit surprised by the charges they quoted to replace Gorilla Glass which was around INR 5312 in one service center and INR 6000 in another service center. And when I dig more on why the rate was too high and they explained me that the Gorilla Glass was coupled with Display of the Mobile Phone and they need to replace both Gorilla Glass and the Display of Phone. By this stance when our Gorilla Glass {i.e. Not even withstanding one single drop from 3 feet distance but opposed to an advertisement in mobile features of 15 consecutive drops in 1 feet distance which was MORE FALSE Statement}. Common Feedback from Service Center: Also, I have received feedback from one of the above service centers that they are handling more Gorilla Glass Damages from Asus phone Max Pro M2 and this is BIG scam of cheating common man money with such HUGE 5-6k cost for simple Gorilla Glass Damage. Suggestion Made to Asus: I have asked Asus Mobile Phone department to add one disclaimer under Corning Gorilla Glass section of Max Pro M2 that, if you need to protect your mobile from drop on any feet distance, please buy one strong tempered glass on top of Corning Gorilla Glass 6. Recommendation: If you still go for this mobile, better buy strong Tempered Glass on top of this cheap Corning Gorilla Glass, so that at least your mobile could be safe (not sure though). ~SJ

  • But oppo is the worst when it comes to software updates

  • Oppo k1 looks good

  • Very good midranger,,glad to have it

  • Go for Samsung 20k

  • What currency is your money?

  • I want new phone. my budget is 15k to 20k/- plz suggest me which phone is better. this phone is for my wife.

  • I think max pro m2 is a disappoinment for enthusiast who will get this phone because of great specs and stock android but need to settled with the ugly notch and will also disappoint ordinary user who upgraded their phone to catch up with the latest phone design by having notch but ended up having difficulty using the phone because it lacks zenUI. Im still hopefull another version will come up without a notch and with zenUI before I retire my zenfone 3 Max and max pro M1.

  • It's a great phone, especially the battery, it has very good endurance

  • dont buy asus always have problem with battery drain after new update..

  • No Dolby sound in j7 pro you can chek it in specifications. It's become natural in all branded mobile in headphone. You can play your mobile. Go youtube search for 3d effect song and listen it than you feel what I want say. Thanks for reply

  • is it worth buying? I focus on game fps and battery. but I hate this phone because doesnt specify having fast charge. or am I wrong? Mi 8 lite has a good fast charge should I buy that?

  • Lightning fast,good selfie camera,and superior battery life,,very nice phone

  • MISLEADING, it has no NFC, even the official global site not mentioned it. Specifically for Indonesia region, ASUS not provide NFC because their false belief that Indonesian user not required it while in fact the government forced it citizen to pay using NFC cards.

  • Battery is draining to fast after 3rd update in Asus ZenFone max pro m2

  • I think your j7 have Dolby right ? Dolby are great in their own way, i miss Dolby sound in my old phone too,

  • Very good phone on all aspect

  • Finally next week, me and my wife finally gets an upgrade and it's going to be this phone. Btw, that's coming from a zenfone max(1st gen) to this. My wife has been an asus fan since the time we bought our phones more than 2 years ago. There are a lot of max series(3 max, 4 max, max plus and etc.) already and yet here we are still using this phone but next week, we're both just so excited. And my little sister has been eyeing already on asking my old phone to be hers since i'm getting a new one. Durable at its finest. God bless everyone!

  • Stock camera no slow motion and time lapse. I tried to install google camera app the picture look similar pixel 3. Thank, Mantol

  • My ASUS screen is line issue after used this phone for a week. I think performance and camera is acceptable. Thank, Mantol

  • I think this phone can be re-branded to "Asus ROG Lite". Better marketing reach

  • Own this phone. Pros: + Hardware is good, 6gb of RAM and snapdragon 660 give excellent experience for gaming at this price. + 5000 mAh battery + Low price Cons: Software is dull, new FOTA update bring many error, many feature of snapdragon 660 cut to the ground. The gorilla glass 6 just a myth, It's easy to scratch (Temper glass is a must). Asus Community support don't give any help - quick charge, - camera slow mo, night vision, shutter speed, etc - audio equalizer, - nfc - low community support - easy to scratch Conclusion: Excellent phone for gamer, not good for influencer because lack of many camera feature and multimedia tweak

  • Nice phone, great camera, great design, and very good battery life

  • I tried your suggestion.loudspeaker quality very good means amazing. But headphones no sarounding sound.3d MP3 not working in headphone.i think this is technical issue of asus.my j7pro amazing sound 3d efect in headphones all app like pubg game YouTube 3d song

  • Here is show NFC-Yes. But heare is no NFC. Why give false news.

  • Heae is show NFC-YES. But i can't find NFC option. Pls Explain. Tnx

  • Yes it's funny how the updates brings more problems instead of solution just like always, after few updates i can't lock my network mode to lte only which is why am getting choke and losses in ping, this problem is driving me crazy, now i want it just like first unboxed, can i do it ?

  • This update is useless! Can't play mobile legends always freezing!!! I really regret buying this phone!

  • It's a solid phone,,love it very much,good work asus

  • i just bought mine last week. after 2nd update i notice battery drain too fast after full charge phone battery not lasting a day even im not using it no apps running no wif and no data battery still's drain to fast. i read many comments same issue with mine after 2nd update. please fix the issue i love asus but with this problem im starting to dislike asus phone

  • Install precise volume from play store, and then in Google music app go to setting and you will find equaliser (you won't find equaliser if you don't install precise volume) now keep it flat and go to boost section and increase bass booster to 1.5 and surround sound to 100, that's my setting overall. It helps, try it.

  • Why is asus zenfone max pro m2 showing not compatible with asphalt 9 legends?in previous update of the game,the game ran smoothly in this mobile.Do other users experience like me?

  • Why is asus zenfone max pro m2

  • Unfortunately, MIUI for the Redmi series alone makes me avoid Note 7 like a plague. My experience with global MIUI ROM for their current and past flagship models is pretty good, but you gotta shell out extra money for that. With Mi 8's price, I'd rather go for One Plus 6. Not sure how's the MIUI on Poco F1 though.

  • Best midranger i've used so far

  • Yes very true, am very disappointed about that too with asus, if i knew it before i would not have bought this

  • im pretty sure there are other ppl using M1 who can play just fine in the HI3 reddit. sorry but i cant answer that since i dont own M1

  • Don't buy max pro m2. Headphones sound quality lower class.no sarounding effect in headphone.sound like keypad phone in headphone

  • very nice phone,everything went great

  • Is this phone supports video calls by default with jio or other sims.?

  • i saw on youtube that the beta version of android pie update on max pro m2 does not have basic pie features like Navigation gesture, adaptive battery, new recent app ui etc its just like same as the oreo. so my question is will they add these features on stable pie update or not?

  • Thanks for a decent reply dude. About the Honkai Impact 3. I have M1 but every time I dl it an error occurs. Since your M2 can dl it, is it possible for M1?

  • hahahaha..... Dude You're really funny!!! ;)

  • with that lightweight,slim and 5000 mah battery,,this phone is an engineering marvel

  • And save 3000 inr (2000 at om sales)

  • If any one planning to buy this phone, better wait go for Note 7, it has better camera, same chip set with more clock speed, fast charger, dew drop, android pie out of box

  • try reaching from 1% or 2% to 100% but , be cautious not to over/under charge. the dormant area of the battery is kicked into usage , hence more battery life. one way to rule -out. try doing the same like 4-5 times

  • The design is awesome,the battery life is very very good

  • Or possibly the Android Pie Beta Program.

  • anyone have battery problem ? my Asus M2 just drain 20% from 63% to 43% in the morning (-+ 8 hr) sleep

  • Sounds like Custom ROM to me, too good to be true..dont mislead peoples..keep the fanboyism spirit on your own..

  • Good to know, how is the stock camera performance, also could you try installing latest GCam and let us know that result too

  • Just upgraded to pie, pubg can run in hdr now, 4k video now supports eis and slow motion also added and the overall os style is almost like pixel, awesome !

  • Awesome

  • 1. Gcam is an app. People install it on a lot of phones that don't take great pictures as long as it can be installed. 2. The camera quality is good but not top notch. You don't have to worry about it being "bad". It provides better details compared to other competitors in this price range. What it lacks in is the colours - that's where Gcam comes in.

  • All phones do. He is asking about heating "issues". Does it heat up so much that device's Performance is reduced significantly? Android has a safety mechanism that is triggered after a phone heats up to a certain point - in order to avoid damage to components. This Kernel mechanism (CPU Hotplug & Thermal) lowers the Voltage, Processor's frequency and/or Turns off some cores to avoid heating and as a result, performance suffers. When people ask for "heating issues", this is what they're refering to.

  • 1st time offer sale coming in India Check for - OMG! Days -

  • IMO,,its a perfect phone

  • Program for Android Pie offen Beta started in India (Beta Power User Program) - u can register and test Pie on MPM2

  • Contd... playing of Pubg for an hour heats the phone

  • impresively thin and lightweight for 5000 mah battery

  • I faced screen touch issues. U need to tap again and again certain times to type. Birender Thakur

  • gcam stands for google camera app. to install it u must first enable the camera API thing which the tutorials are plentiful on the internet on how to install gcam, and it doesnt require root. about the notch, 18:9 games will not cut into the notch. so far when i played epic seven and honkai impact 3, both played full screen and the notch is hidden. but if the game doesnt support 18:9 ratio then there will be black bars on the sides when u play it regardless if it had a notch or not. same goes for 18:9 videos. the notch area pretty much wont interrupt any landscape multimedia content.

  • Alright. So my brother is looking for a phone. I'm using M1. I downgraded from Samsung S5 to ZFMP M1. The M1's performance blew me away, so I recommended zenfones to my brother. But before we settled with Zf, me and my brother have looked for quite a lot of phones from different brand. We just need to know the performance of the phone and that's it. But I would like to ask, what's a gcam? There's a store of ASUS laptop and a store of Zenfone in the mall near us. We first visited the ASUS store cus they also sell Zenfones (and I bought my phone there). But the display M2 doesn't have the camera icon. When we visited the Zenfone store, the M2 display have the camera icon. Is gcam an app that you have to download in order to access the camera? And is the camera good? I've also read that comment complaining about the camera. I doubt my brother take selfie pictures but in this generation you have to have a good camera not just for selfies. It doesn't have to be Note 9 or Mate 20 good. It just have to beeee..... good good. Also, I love the specs of the phone, but the notch.... Not a fan. I asked the staff if the notch can be hidden, they said no. We'll have to wait for a software update that will hide the notch, if there is any. But they said the notch is hidden when playing games. Me and my brother play games a lot. With my experience with M1, there are games that aren't in full screen. The side where the home button is, is unfilled. Soooo there might be games that aren't on full screen AND the notch is not hidden. So did anyone experience that yet? I hope to have a decent reply on this and thank you for reading this long long comment.

  • You have to manually set your sims to access the mobile data. I don't know about M2, but I'm using M1 and I also had that same problem but I figured it out by doing thess steps. On the SETTINGS, go to NETWORK & INTERNET, then go to SIM CARDS, then under Preffer sim for... Go to CELLULAR DATA and choose whichever sim card you wish to you use your mobile data. That's what I do in my M1. Its sucks that you have to set it like that, but lets be positive. Its just a few taps and I don't think you will need both sim card for data. Also, the phone is cheap for its performance that I need.

  • Where to download gcam

  • pretty phone & very good performance and battery life

  • I'm pretty sure that's a fake review.

  • Huh??? Camera is good enough as you can see in Gsmarena review. It provides good details and covers the shortcomings if you use Gcam. Redmi note 7 provides more colours but less details and you can't use Gcam with it, yet it's considered good. Is Pie update being delayed a bit that big of a issue? To start with, do you even know what you're talking about? Can you even tell the difference between Oreo and Pie other than their names and what you'll do after getting Pie? And you call pie update being delayed "poor software optimization"?? I would explain how you're wrong but I would have to start from telling you the meaning of the words you're using. Zenfone Max Pro M2 so far gives best performance and battery than all of its competitors in this price range. Do you even own this phone or are you a Xiaomi fanboy writing fake reviews?

  • i can transfer files just fine. if u noticed when u plugged it into your pc usb port, a notification will appear on the phone, u need to tap on the file transfer option on it so that transfer can be initiated

  • idk dude, i tried playing the 3d sound virtual haircut video on yt using just the bundled earphone (Malaysia set has it) and i get the 3d effect. someting wrong with your unit or headphones?

  • Finally Android pie beta program is launched. So I guess we need wait for 1 more month for stable release for all

  • Max pro M2 not 3d sound play in headphone very bad thing I disappointed

  • Mobile over all very good but in head phone not play 3d effect sound why? When My j7 pro play 3d sound in headphone in youtube. Amazing experience

  • Total disappointment, The MTP does not work, cannot transfer any file to and from device. Also poor software optimization. Biggest lie from the company associates saying In Jan we get Pie update but instead they release security update. Total disappointment, DONT buy any phone based on the false commitments of the company officials. Total loss of 15K. Camera is the one the worst i've seen in the 15K segment. DO NOT BUY. Seek some other trusted brand. GOODBYE ASUS. you've lost one customer forever.

  • Lovely phone,very good overall,,the price is also reasonable

  • You should have been download the app nacho notch to disable notch

  • your search method may not be as good Official Prices in Malaysia 4 GB ~$205 6 GB ~$240 and some retailers sell on ebay, amazon and ....... as well. But the Redmi Note 7 does not have a global version yet, so no global prices . . . How can you compare than the prices?! China version Note 7 is english only, das not support even Google Play Store. No real LTE support for - Europe, - Americas and sucks even in most Asian Countries, so this time rather useless everywhere. That's about the big hype for China only prices ....

  • Everyone stop talking what you are talking and spam #PIE :p

  • I see that Max Pro M1 & M2 are cheaper in your country. You made a bad *guess* about Note 7 as it's not available in India. Xiaomi said they'll try to keep Note 7 price not much higher than it's is China but it'll still be higher. In China, the 64GB, 6GB variant costs 1400 Yuan, which is about 14800 Indian rupees. The cheapest 3GB, 32GB variant of Note 7 costs 1000 Yuan which is about 10600 INR. But we'll have to wait for note 7 to officially release in India to be sure. I wrote *underclocked* in stars to give you a reality check: Why is a *underclocked* processor providing better performance than Note 7? Is Note 7 faulty? Realme 2 Pro/U1 are not best choices to consider. U1 has a competitive Chipset but it falls short in everything else; like in battery and it heats up a lot even in winter.

  • I don't know in your country but in india the starting price of : Asus zenfone max pro m1 is 9999 Asus zenfone max pro m2 is 12990 Redmi note 7 would be 9999 And why you wrote undeclocked between stars we all know that it is really underclocked just like realme 2 pro And I'm not biasid if they were at the same price I would buy m2 because of stock android and bigger battery

  • You sound uninformed & biased in favour of Xiaomi. The "reality" you speak of is that Zenfone Max Pro M2 gives better performance in PUBG & much longer battery than Redmi Note 7 on the same graphic settings (HD graphics, High Frame Rate). Secondly, your point about FHD is wrong because both Zenfone Max Pro M2 & Redmi Note 7 have FHD screens and both were played on same graphic settings. Thirdly, if we consider what you say is true, then something must be really wrong with Redmi Note 7 that even a *underclocked* processor beats it in performance. I don't know... Could be the MIUI on Note 7? Or could it be that Kernel Configurations & Stock Android are much better on Max Pro M2? :) If you value your money, I suggest to learn more about what's up with Stock Android and how Xiaomi is playing with its customers with MIUI. Zenfone Max Pro M2 & Redmi Note 7 have same price for their 6GB, 64GB variants where I live. But it can vary slightly from country to country. If Note 7 is significantly cheaper where you live and you don't mind compromising battery, then go for Note 7. The performance is lower but it's not bad. There hasn't been a proper camera review for Note 7 yet so can't comment on that. As for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1: $146 3GB, 32GB $187 6GB, 64GB

  • Ignore him. That my friend is what we call a fake review. $400? lol Xiaomi fanboys...

  • Great phone on all aspect

  • I have 2 sim card in my zenfone max pro m2 but i can't use the first sim card mobile data.. Can anyone tell me how to switch the mobile data between the sim card..I can only use the second sim card as mobile data

  • Note 7 comes in same price of max pro m2 ? That's not an good example, you sound stupid and ignorance, note 7 is releasing 3 months later of asus max pro m2, ofcourse new mobiles are trying to come with more features

  • first check the real time speed between real me U1 and Max pro m2 and then only come here to talk.check the battery endurance test also for the both phone then you will find the reality.or you can search on YouTube also.

  • Are you sure about that price? I bought mine (4/64gb without NFC) two weeks ago at around 200 USD. Even with differing prices in different parts of the world, ot shouldn't have reached 400 USD.

  • Very nice phone

  • The performance seems better in asus not because of software and kernel it's just because it runs it on hd wheras xiaomi uses fhd this is why it gets a way better battery But in reality redmi has better processor (play pubg at hd on redmi or fhd on asus and you'll see ) because asus uses an underclocked processor and don't forget that note 7's price is same as asus zenfone max pro m1 and max m2(the one with sd632)

  • Don't get fooled by speed tests Exynos 7904 is weaker than exynos 7885 it's between sd 632 and sd636

  • The cheapest price i have found for 4/64 version is 400USD. I would not say that it is in same price range as Redmi Note 7

  • ghost touch on mine is fixed on the 3rd FOTA update

  • Many get fooled by Benchmark score, that doesn't reflect the real time performance. Check in youtube for M20 and Max Pro (m2) speed test, they have demonstrated m20 outperforming max pro m2, though not by much, but still beats it, despite many including me assuming samsung processor and their blot UI will not be good, Samsung proved us wrong

  • I carefully checked 100+ phones and I found that Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 & M2 are best phones in their price range. Their only rival is Redmi Note 7 but it falls short in certain aspects, like battery & performance. Performance: M2's performance is perfect. PUBG runs perfectly smooth in HD Graphics, High Frame Rate - even while driving a car. Note 7 & M1 lag noticeably (still not much) during driving. However, note that *M1* *3GB variant* lags in PUBG if you use a screen recorder app while playing PUBG. Haven't checked whether Note 7 & M2 can handle that kind of load yet. Battery with continuous: - PUBG on HD graphics, High Frame Rate lasts 7-8 hours (Note 7 lasts 4.5 - 5 hours & M1 lasts about 7 hours). - Asphalt 9 lasts 8-9 hours. - Offline video playing lasts about 17 hours. - Instagram video playing lasts 16+ hours. - YouTube 14+ hours. - Camera battery lasts 7.5+ hours. OS: Oreo M1 & M2 are said to get Pie OS this February while Note 7 already runs on Pie. However, Note 7 has MIUI which puts extra load on the device, shows Ads - lowering the device's performance, battery timing and may take up extra storage. This might be the reason why its performance is equal to M1 in PUBG even though it has SD 660. Whereas M1 & M2 run on Stock Android which is a big advantage - no extra load on the phone, better battery, performance and stability. So even while running on Oreo, M1 & M2 are already better in terms of software performance than Note 7. M1 is one of the few phones with SD 636 Chipset that can play PUBG smoothly at High Graphics, High Frame Rate and I believe it owes it to how Asus likes to configure its phones' Kernel and Stock Android. Built Quality: The built quality of both M1 & M2 is spectacular. They were dropped 6 times from 6 feet above at all angles except corners on a tiled floor. M1 was *perfectly fine* while M2 had a tiny scratch at the corner but that's all the harm it got. They aren't water proof but they were placed in water for 1 minute and still worked perfectly fine after drying. It should last at least 3+ years, imo.

  • Hi..is this smartphone good..this or iPhone 7 or honor play or Pocophone f1...for long term durability and camera performance and gaming performance

  • How you resolved Ghost touch? Even I'm facing it in my mobile. Rest of the features in mobile is good but I'm worried only about Ghost touch.

  • this phone really worth every penny you spent..great phone for gaming and long life battery perfomance..for better camera experience..you can try install google camera,it offer better view

  • No Hide Notch settings is such a bummer...

  • Reed before some reviews and you will very pleased with Max Pro ... M20 with that new (lol) Exynos 7904 can only compete with Snapdragon 632, (SDM636 - in Max Pro M1 f.e. - is clearly better in performance) that means with vanilla M2 (ZB632KL)! But I think even the M2 is a better package for that price with much better metal build, performance is for sure much better with HD+ and Stock Android. Check for benchmarks and reviews! The M10 is even worse, lacks any performance, but that SoC, better the GPU wasn't as competitive even at launch in 2016. lol

  • Hi Guys, I am interested in this phone but I doubt its camera quality. Does it shoot good pictures (in bright and low light)? Can we install google camera p3 apk file on this phone?

  • If you have real prob-s, go to ZenTalk! but I think you doesn't even have this phone, you are just trolling here, you are just a "real me" troll (it's Realme you know ...)

  • Wish I waited for 1 more month and bought M20 then this phone.

  • Well if thats how your mind goes, then right back at you. No one cares on your problems. They seem satisfied. Iam satisfied given a few bugs. Those issues arent present in me. Ive had few ghost touches and was resolved. Gcam mod fixed camera issues. And the rest are just stories.

  • huh, no ois, but eis?

  • the battery life is the best so far,from all the phone i've used,,this beauty is very nice phone

  • In February

  • At least the third FOTA update (2016.1901.186) seems to have fixed the touch issue. Granted, I saw some thread about other problems (i.e., phone signal overlap), but for me that's just superficial problems. I never did experience the overheat problem and battery drain problem, which seem to have been solved by the third update as well, so I'm a happy customer now. Looking forward to the Pie update (hope it doesn't break the phone).

  • Are you an engineer for asus that i have to tell you¿Bluetooth sign,do not disturb sign icon are seen even in disabled state and touch sensitivity and responsiveness issue,front camera exposure issue,recently used apps issues,don't be fool with the no of mah on battery.it has the same endurance of 3500 mah of real me devices.don't tell me that your device is okey these problems are not there,who is asking for your problems? i m sharing my own

  • Asphalt 9 is made available already for MPro M2~

  • Beautiful,fast and very good battery life

  • For (1-) I just forgot to mention honor 8x honor play xiaomi mi a2 xiaomi mi 8 lite huawei y9(2019) honor 10 lite

  • 1- realme 2pro ,realme u1,redmi note 7 ,redmi note 6 pro 2- they receive miui updates (I still prefer os updates and stock android) 3- redmi note 7

  • Asus's price isn't 150$ This phone's price is 220$

  • Which bugs?. Being on point solves the problem. Most people just shout this phone is buggy and all. What does the people want? They wont even tell what is wrong.i dont know any bugs as of this moment . As for the battery. It takes me 10 hours screentime to fully drain the battery. I dont know about xiaomi's battery strength but id say the asus has decent and gpod battery life.

  • 1. You say 660 vs 845 but don't mention that it's also €150 vs €300? Boy... You fr? Find me phones that run PUBG at High Graphics without lag in €150. 2. Er... Stable but requires weekly updates - ALRIGHT. Stable Gcam? LOL. I'll say what I said before: All those miui ads, load on the chipset with battery & data consumption for what? To make it run a little more like stock android? Dear fanboy, Xiaomi has many of its phones still running at Marshmallow so stop trying to make Xiaomi sound like the king of updates. Even if you want a brand that updates its phone to latest OS often, you're better off with Nokia. Nokia 8 can run PUBG at Ultra HD, Ultra FPS, Realistic style for around 5 hours. 3. Battery is giving 7+ hours of PUBG with High Graphics settings & 9+ hours in Low. Name a device that can run PUBG at High graphics smoothly for 7+ hour and costs the same. I bet one of your "MIUI" phones must have had a "update" that lets them do that? ;) It lasts 2+ days.

  • I love this phone,,it was great on all aspect

  • bag of bugs.After every update Asus surprise us with new bugs.bad front camera battery can't compete with 3500mah of other brand like real me:& xiaomi redmi

  • When this phone will get Android Pie update ?

  • AI camera features now working with last update.

  • Lightning fast, and the battery life is very good

  • im also using the 6gb variant. playing epic seven + honkai impact 3 + fgo + social media i get 5-6hrs SOT using mobile data then goes to around 10 hrs before finally needing a recharge. tho i was also using it as hotspot when not playing on it

  • Mine 7hours ++ playing PUBG non stop from 100%-0% with highest setting. Lol

  • A tiny screen portion is left out to solve the edgy cutout of the screen on bottom part after the update. It looks better now

  • Hi, just bought this phone the day after the release. Can M2 users who have the 6GB variant share their experience about their usage with this phone? Specifically, their experience with the Battery. With Battery Saver+Data Saver+Airplane Mode (when data is not in use) on, it can last 1d 12hrs or more (with heavy usage, Data On for Games [F/GO 5-6+ hrs 10~20%+][Free Fire, Mobile Legends, RO M, Soccer Spirits, etc.]) and with the screen time of 9~10hrs or more. We have a weak Wi-Fi signal and Mobile Network here, so probably my phone will worn out a little fast if I keep these on without using it. I’m kinda anxious with my phone, since it’s my first time having a 5k mAh battery, I just want to know others opinion, specially on Battery and Gaming side. TYIA.

  • Very good phone

  • Are you sure you got the Max Pro M2 and NOT the MAX M2?

  • Being an apple lover because of updates is not true, I like being on the bleeding edge of tech so I love my phone to be on the latest update, being updated with the latest version of andriod, has many pros, first of all you get all the latest features that come with the UI, like the picture in picture, or dual window multitasking, also some security features are added, I completely agree that I would have no gribes using social media on a jellybean phone but the latest version just adds icing on the cake... ( Also some visual UI improvements) What type of problems do you feel with build quality, being used the redmi note 3, I didn't find any build quality issues or connectivity, durability issues... My circle has some redmi phones running in good condition even after 2 years... Not a fanboy but MIUI has its own fans, hell even I prefer some UI than a vanilla andriod phone...

  • yeah snapdragon 660 vs 845 lmao big difference price also they have stable mui and stable gcam with weekly updates does asus have that? last i check the only updates is only last dec where is the ai promise in jan is nearly feb . no updates battery? i say false advertisements 5000mah they have so much problem look at the forum battery issues... will sell mine go for poco asus never change been with asus for 5 years their services sucks

  • I feel cheated because the speaker is average, even Redmi note 6 pro have better bass and clarity, asus showing it off too much

  • Beautiful phone with very good batery life

  • But asus m2 is not availaible in my country so i think i'll choose honor 8x

  • I have this Phone but i can't full notch display the videos i play in gallery and youtube. Also while playing games. I hope they do something about it cause i saw some phones have a notch settings on their phone while this phone doesn't have.

  • 1. People that crave updates are no different than apple lovers. At the moment, you don't need anything above Nougat for at least a few years. Even lollipop or KitKat would do for most users. Even if you get pie update, all you're gonna do is waste your time on social media for which even Jellybean OS is enough. 2. Which games are you talking about? Because people are playing PUBG on HD settings without lag on this phone - hardly any phones in this price range out there that can do it. See the gaming reviews, both here and on YouTube. As far as Asphalt 9 is concerned, that has nothing to do with Asus or this phone. That's game developers' (Gameloft) fault. Asphalt 9 was made incompatible with a lot of phones - even many fancy flagship phones were made incompatible. They can make it compatible if they want so go give bad review where it's due. 3. I'm surprised you managed fit Xiaomi and "better phones" in the same sentence. At least 70% of Xiaomi phones have serious problems. Built quality, speaker, connectivity, durability, no telling whether your phone will expire in months or last so only old phones that already have had users list all the problems can be safely bought - way worse than the inconvenience of not being able to read 24 hour clock lol. Everyone knows what Xiaomi's customer support is like. Most of their phones come with MIUI so enjoy seeing ads in notifications as well. In the name of "optimisation" to make its performance and battery like what? Stock android? Lol.

  • Wow that's reassuring! Thank you!

  • January is about to end &#128282; still no sign of pie update as promised and as promised no improvements in image processing algorithm.Honestly speaking xiaomi's (mi) image processing algorithm is far more superior.

  • idk if this just me or the other peoples have same problem, but my asus zenfone max pro m2 with 6GB ram only have 4000 mAh, i get that info and read from antutu benchmark apk. it's that bug from antutu or you guys have the same problem ??

  • I have been using this phone since it's first day launch, the problems which I found was firstly very low ear speaker sound for this we have to use headphone or speaker to talk which is highly annoying...

  • When i bought the phone i could switch network mode to lte only, now after update i can't, it's very important to me since it gives ping issue in gaming. Gamers don't buy this phone if you have network issue in your place

  • The default camera app of M2 is not that great, i mean the quality is better than Y9 and 8X.. but it takes time to focus. Y9 and 8X has very fast focus and Ai works good but the overall photo quality is not as good as M2. I am using Gcam with M2 and it takes the picture quality to the next level. Y9 picture quality is soft, 8X pictures come out pale and has yellow tint. Whereas M2 pictures are very natural and captures awesome pics in low light using default app and even better with gcam night site. In terms of video quality M2 beats both of them hands down. Y9 & 8X both doesnt have EIS.. M2 pro is value for money for those looking for stock android experience. huawei and honor phones have their own UI which some people like while some hate.

  • will m2 get Android pie?

  • Does this phone support voLTE?

  • When will it get Andoird Pie update?

  • So can you tell me wich camera is better between y9 and honor 8x ? I'm confused between both of them

  • I have 6/64GB version. I can play pubg for almost 7 hours from 100% to 3%.. tried this recently. I don't think the camera is bad, the app is also kind of okay. Night shots are amazing better than Honor play, Y9 and Honor 8x (I have these Phones too) After installing gcam, photo quality has been improved but I prefer stock cam for night shots. Yes battery drains faster compared to other phones in idle mode but deepsleep app has fixed this for me. Best phone for gaming, highly recommended, Pubg at HD and High frame rate works amazing. Asphalt 9 works flawlessly.

  • if camera improves in pie update then only i will buy max m2,as camera is also my priority.

  • still dont work already did that many times still not compatible

  • I used this phone for about 3 weeks already. No problem, battery is good - 2 days. The camera is good also, average... I hope more updates will come for improvements... God bless you...

  • If you find any app showing not compatible do this, go to yours apps and find google play store and clear cache and data, that should solve your problem for asphalt 9, same happened with me

  • Xiaomi fanboy, asus haters at the highest degree. I admit Redmi Note 7 have good specs on paper, why you should worry about Max Pro M2 ? Will it threatening RN7 sales like what happen to RN5P ? RN5P sales really badly effected with Max Pro M1 and also Realme's. Dont worry Max Pro M2 maybe will not threatening RN7 sales but maybe Max Pro M3 will.

  • Dont Buy This Phone Asus m2 6/64gb variant Sucks Their Services Sucks Updates No Where to be found they cant fix the am/pm thats have been gone during 1st update patch dec and they force buyers to use 24hrs instead/ cause of manufacturing of notch screen they cant fix it so no hope of returning of am/pm+cant play latest games cause app not compatible in plastore like asphalt 9 better find better phone like note 7 or xiaomi phones or anything than asus truth they really suck nothings new. you will only get mad everyday. cause of many bugs. just look at their forums many bugs angry cause of slow updates not like other phones everyday update fix bugs. but asus you need to wait 1 year to get new updates slowpokes turtle tech team. I REGRET BUYING THIS PHONE. SHOULD BOUGHT POCO OR DIFFERENT PHONE.

  • The touch is not precise at the edges of the screen

  • same issue with the phone . picture cant be open easily, phone lags even in gaming , battery easily gets drained. not a good phone to recommend to someone

  • I am using the mobile . Battery is the deadly weapon. Wow .but camera stills sucks . And takes too time to open the recent captured images. Sometimes phne lags . Is anyone having the aame issue.

  • Who's better, Max Pro M2 or Huawei P9 (overall)

  • looking for a phone. is this phone best for trading online? I'm using meta trader 4.

  • 1. Max pro m2 got snapdragon pro and adreno gpu 2. And it doesnt have zen UI, it's got stock rom

  • This phone is very good,,very satisfied with it

  • Damn it.Flagship battery power!

  • Is it really good only for one day? Im not using data all day.

  • MIUI the most crappy, laggy and weird UI in the world. Xiaomi's phone sucks. After I bought Max Pro (M1) throw away my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 into the dustbin.

  • Im experiencing it too

  • It's definitely not just a keyboard issue, the same thing happen with the action bar, lock screen, in games, etc. I'm not confident this issue will ever be addressed, it's a budget phone after all. My advice: wait till the Pie update roll out, and ask if the issue still persists.

  • Outstanding phone,, 8/10 point from me

  • Have you compared the screen on time? I guess its not a valid comparison if you account everything until you charge it. It might be because youre using this phone harder than your previous one. Was it the same?

  • Better Go with Xiaomi Mi 8 lite. Adreno GPU which is betted than Mali GPU. With a good camera, and stable UI. Zenfone UI sucks. So many glitches.

  • Is this true? I have seen the touch issues on this phone and that's what is holding me back. If its only restricted to android keyboard, its not that big a problem. I feared its a larger screen or memory problem. Kindly advise.

  • from Ph too. I think its because of the networks' current upgrades?. I'm also experiencing this fluctuating/intermittent mobile data with my Asus ZP2 & iPhone. Or maybe it also depending on your location. maybe..

  • Very good & beautiful budged phone !

  • No one from ASUS will read your comment here! lol there are other better corr. places to adress the real probs. and Specs was known, don't complain about specified things - plastic back - lol this is a very good priced, but budget device. Better buy a POCO, but wait . . . its plastic as well .... for much more and without Gorilla Glas 6 and that shiny back, you doesn't even get a dedicated microSD-slot ...

  • ??? as I said "starting this days" across Europe, already available in UA, Baltic region, PT and ?? - listed in FI, FR, IT, RO + ?? (and each day more countries, as nearly all will get the same 6 GB version - or only the vanilla M2 this time - as far as i know. ;-) Already available in at least one known China shop w/ int. delivery. (6GB vers.) There are some int. sellers on Ebay sites as well. So availability won't be a prob. Everybody, please post availability, if you know your and other countries!

  • It's Androids prob, try other keyboard apps and don't forget this is a budget phone, even most expensive flagship-phones have some probs.

  • mine only lasted around 10-12 hours, but thats because i was always using data and had hotspot on, with 4-5 hours of gaming on top... i think its pretty reasonable

  • Updated my phone again just now, don't know what improved yet, it was around 130 mb, anyone know anything about the latest update

  • Hi, I need your honest opinion , which is best to buy ? Honor 8x or Asus zenfone max pro m2? And why? TYIA

  • Super phone with very nice price tag,,very happy to have it

  • My phone battery drains fast even if its 5000 mah.. Base on my experience it only last for a day and a half. Just like my phone with only 3000 mah...so dissapointed and also charging takes about 3 and ahalf hours to fully charged... Its very incovenient for always on the go

  • 1)poor implementation of notch screen by software. 2)no 5ghz wifi band 3)touch screen issues while typing(not fully responsive) 4)poor front camera and no slow motion and time-lapse(although in dev mode) 5)plastic build back 6)few software bugs these are some cons I have found. Dear asus team, take it seriously and fix it as soon as possible except that hardware.otherwise costumer will read my comment and won't buy Asus max pro m2.

  • already ordered the phone should I update it now or wait for android pie update?

  • Do you experience any problems with your mobile data connection in your country? Im from the Philippines and some users here are having problems is this true? Thinking of buying this phone

  • Yes I'm facing same issue

  • I have the 6GB variant. Dissapointing to know its nowhere to be found.

  • I bought the 4GB RAM/64GB Internal Storage version with no NFC, so far very pleased with the phone. It's basically everything I ever wanted in a phone (bar the NFC, but NFC isn't a big thing in my country yet, so it's not like I'd have many chances of using it) at just 200 US dollars. Except for one complain: touch sensitivity. My previous phone uses an IGZO screen, and despite its many flaws, typing on it is a blissful experience. Despite its sensitivity, the input is precise, ignoring the slight touch from the edge of my palm. The same cannot be said for Zenfone Max Pro M2. I have a hard time typing with its screen. It sometimes ignores my touch, and sometimes took the slight press of my palm as input. Oftentimes, I find myself forced to touch it multiple times before it registers it. I'm typing this opinion out on my M2, and let me tell ya, it's super frustrating. I think this has to do with its touch recognition software, and I hope Asus will address this issue and fix it in a future patch.

  • I personally always keep my device covered with tempered glass so I'm less known with the theory of scratching screens, but I've watched videos on the reputed YouTube channel 'jerryrigeverything' and found that gorilla glass 3,4 scratch at level 6 on mohs scale of hardness, gorilla glass 5 had some problems but only few phones had that... Some YouTubers tested the max pro m2 the same way as jerry and they found that the gorilla glass 6 had zero problems...

  • EU version starting this days, coming with NFC, but not a cheap one because it's one with 6GB of RAM.

  • Be careful with phones brother, not always fate works... Always remember, no glass is unbreakable...

  • Same. I was really looking forward to nfc and got excited when it was announced to be having a NFC. That one and this will be like a premium experience to me. But nah. This is rare for the price. They need to cut off something.

  • Theres probably something wrong with your unit. Mine drained 2% for 6 hrs with mobile data on.

  • which version of this phone that equipped with NFC? Indonesian version is not equipped with NFC

  • Very good phone! glad to have it

  • i'm satisfied with Max Pro M2 :) reasonable price, smooth UI, lag free, less heat and good battery.

  • For sure that's a good theory, i didn't knew it

  • I have the 6gb ram variant The battery although 5k mah is not as impressive..the phone drains 17% value in 7 to 8 hours of just being on stand by...I also have a real me 1 ...the helio p60 is much more power efficient...the purpose chose this handset over the RN6 pro was due to the battery.. but the battery is nothing great Reagan H

  • In terms of "camera" asus max pro m2 engineers better take Tution class from redmi note 6 pro and real me u1 engineers.lol

  • Dear Asus Team, please improve your image processing algorithm and software.Xiaomi,oppo,vivo, real me and honor have optimized and superior image processing software.It is your weakest point.If you improve this thing then your brand will be make a better space in market.

  • Great phone,,very satisfied with the battery life

  • If U dont like Stock Android the best U should do is dont buy it at all. Go buy another phone that come with crappy and laggy skin UI. Those extra features on skin UI we can get it from Google Play. Stock Android is not for every one but for who like simplified, minimalistick and know how to tweak their phone.

  • Still a 660. Not the best 660 but a very minor difference in my opinion. We are at a point where processors are fast enough that even mid range segment is enough. It could do every task thrown to them and every android game you put in them. The difference is just split seconds or a second at best. Unless you maximize the performance the processor of a processor or a feature in a flagship. Which i suppose 90% of the users doesnt.

  • Similar to spectacles glass. You can remove those scratch oleophobic layer with toothpaste. Highly not recommended.

  • Can't change the network mode by dialling *#*#4636*#*# anymore, i think it's happening after the update because i remember switching to lte only when i brought the phone, this is important to me and now i have to deal with it

  • You're wrong my friend. The gorilla glass seems not upto standards as it gets scratched very easily. My theory is that it is the oleophobic coating getting scratched and not the actual phone. The pre applied screen protectors on the oneplus devices cause the removal of the coating which reveals the real glass which does not get scratched. Don't know but its just a theory.

  • Excellent phone & obviously huge battery.

  • I dropped my asus max pro m2 twice and both time it dropped with the screen facing downwards, first i shattered the upper right corner tempered glass and second time shattered the upper left corner and the main glass is not broken, what i want to say is not how strong gorillaglass6 is but that i was not thanking the gorilla glass after i found my main screen was not broken but i was thanking my tempered glass, i mean i am thankful for gorilla glass 6 but right at that serious moment when you drop your phone you will thankful for the temperedglass, gorilla glass 6 comes later

  • Does the screen get easily screatched while day to day usage? And what about the back panel? I really dont like to use extra protections

  • the phone is great but after the latest update the phone is good as thrash... the camera flash is turn into flash light when its in auto mode. it keeps on lighting not flashing.. the status bar at the right side shrinks just like the owner of asus..

  • A very nice phone, the speed is great, and battery life are very superior

  • its not the stock android problem, i can resize it in any size i want, just tap and hold the border and voila, its a basic feature dude

  • Underclocked snapdragon 660

  • It's so difficult to find good apps that gives you the features that you need and some features can't be done by downloading apps These apps will drain mire energy and presents a lot of bugs and have a bad impact on the performance nothing can replace a goid ui

  • This is the problem of stock android I always say this stock android is not mature enough it lacks a lot of useful features that you'll miss Even if skins have some more bugs or harder to adapt on using them if you change your phones I still love them for the extra features optimization and rich experience

  • Beautiful phone,that come with big battery,while keeping the thickness and weight reasonable,,fantastic job asus

  • When i use 2 apps in split window mode for example YouTube and chrome, both apps comes in 50-50 ratio and there's no feature to resize one apps bigger than another for example i want YouTube to use 20% of the screen , what i want is how chrome increases its size and YouTube minimise a lot more when i try to type something in the browser and YouTube becomes way smaller, but that's it, its kind of auto, i want that to be manual

  • Try google camera... The post processing of google camera is fabulous...

  • Well.. this one is true. Nothing beats default apps optimized well to work with a system and to give the best user experience. Its hard to find a well optimized 3rd party app that works really well and has all the features you want without having to pay or without a single ads. With this, i need to work harder to find that sweet app that i would prefer as my daily driver. Ive come to like the M2 for what it is. Google photos comes with unlimited cloud storage. It misses to detect photos stored in other folder sometimes but can be forgiven. Stock cam app sucks nut mods are everywhere. i switched to textra as my Default messaging app. Used swype as my keyboard. Etc. Well. It was the price i have to pay so i could have the best phone experience.

  • Having inbuilt apps is an advantage because, firstly you have all the apps built into the UI so they interact with each other well... Secondly, third party apps, mostly have ads in them which are annoying, atleast that's my perspective...

  • I have never liked stock android at first but still decided to grab a stock Android Unit. Now, ive loved the simplicity and the vanilla interface and i never regret grabbing one of these. Because of this experience i would love to grab any stock android unit without hesitation given the hardware is well suited. I love Asus' decision to make a stock android phone. Also, i dont bother having no apps installed and this is what everyone does in a smartphone they bouggt initially: to Set up and Install apps according to their needs and preference. Its just laziness to reason out "i have to download this and that"

  • Its good to known that the phone has a gorilla glass 6. Regardless of the durability, i always had a tempered glass slapped on to my screen as it makes me really confident. Depending on the quality of the tempered glass, the screen quality does not change, its got oleophobic coating, its durable, scratch resistant, and an added layer of protection in case of falls. The thing about durable glasses is its fragile against a concentrated impact and causes it to shatter. Lets say it smashed on a nail or a sharp stone where the impact is concentrated the point of contact. So regardless of the durability. It has saved me a dozen of phones by having a 5 bucks screen protector to protect my 250 dollar investment.

  • Bro, its not a plastic screen, this used to be the case with plastic screens... Gorilla glass 5 had some issues but gorilla glass 6 is very durable, just check the durability test on YouTube if you want to know more

  • At 175 gr,while equipped with 5000 mah battery,i think this phone is very lighweight !

  • Amazing phone boom sound long time back up battery .so thank asus

  • Don't update ur phone it will be hot as hell if u ipdated it when playing games.I really regret updating it anyone knows how to revert it to default firmware?

  • Game is ok..battery lasts 2 days if no game being played..

  • The phone sells well because of it. There is a huge demand for stock-android phones

  • Stock android is not lag free even ios has a lot of lags and bugs

  • Need more features in camera, need better battery optimisation and also some additional basic feature in phone and also let's hope it doesn't decrease performance and battery after pie update, updates are not trustworthy

  • Very true..... providing just a piece of wonderful hardware downgrades the "effectiveness" of this Smart phone. Mobiles are almost like a computer now a days & app lock, security/antivirus, native video calling, panorama shot in camera are something Very Very Basic in any phone. What will i do with Stock Android or its lag freeness, when i cant perform my basic functions every day without downloading/purchasing 3rd party apps. I would highly recommend ASUS provides dedicated ZenUI option that anyone can download from Playstore (not via apk) & then its up to every user to decide what they want. Win-Win for both.

  • The thing you are talking about is the property of plastic screens, gorilla glass 5 also had issue with some devices but gorilla glass 6 is very durable

  • Because, firstly stock andriod is marketable, secondly their are a few people who still prefer plain vanilla andriod ( even I don't like it, but cannot do anything much )...

  • I wonder if there is a way to change back to asus skin?

  • Yes lack of 5ghz wifi, NFC, type -c with fast charging is a drawback on this phone. Rest of specs look good. Atleast they should have had 5ghz wifi as now a days all budget phones are having it

  • sad life not dual band. can't detect 5Ghz :(

  • This phone looks good it has big battery good chipset but why it has stock android ? This ruined the experience asus have their own skin why didn't they use it I will choose than either xiaomi note 6 pro or realme 2 pro

  • After the update my cp hot like crazy! Now I really regret that i updated it! fck

  • That's the problem with Gorilla Glass 6, it won't break or crack easily, when dropped, but it's prone to minor scratches easily, so use Temper Glass

  • Hi, just bought this phone the day after the release. Can M2 users who have the 6GB variant share their experience about their usage with this phone? Specifically, their experience with the Battery. With Battery Saver+Data Saver+Airplane Mode (when data is not in use) on, it can last 1d 12hrs or more (with heavy usage, Data On for Games [F/GO 5-6+ hrs 10~20%+][Free Fire, Mobile Legends, RO M, Soccer Spirits, etc.]) and with the screen time of 9~10hrs or more. We have a weak Wi-Fi signal and Mobile Network here, so probably my phone will worn out a little fast if I keep these on without using it. I’m kinda anxious with my phone, since it’s my first time having a 5k mAh battery, I just want to know others opinion, specially on Battery and Gaming side. TYIA.

  • I know this is why I hate stock android

  • and you could do that much better are sw-developer why don't you apply by ASUS??? they allways need sw-experts lol

  • Asus is above xiaomi only in terms of tier... Else xiaomi also offers very good value, my friend has a redmi 3s working great from 2 years...

  • The back panel can, but the front panel won't... The gorilla glass 6 is no joke...

  • These apps can be downloaded from the play store but come with tons of ads, some apps like the applock doesn't even work that efficiently... The UI should be kept clean but have basic necessities... It should be a balance between, for say, stock andriod and MIUI... Just like oxygen os...

  • Does the phone read compass

  • Asus is better than Xiaomi in giving update. My Max Pro M1 getting update and security patch almost every month.

  • Bad: 1. Light dim itself and bright itself(no automatic brightness). 2. No Gallery to view photo. 3. Shut down time very slow. Good: 1. Start up time very fast. 2. Battery last long. 3. Signal reception is good. 4. Bokeh effect is easy to use. If talking about hang, error, most phones have it. Even Samsung phone can lag and processor not working at all. It all depend how you care for your mobile.

  • Fact is:Asus is very weak in software development and fixing issues.Though frequent update is given but no significant improvements.we need one real update then many fake ones.

  • This phone offers a stock android experience which means no proprietary modifications (like for example ZenUI on the brand's flagship, MIUI on Xiaomi phones, EMUI on Huawei phones, etc.). The apps you are talking about are a part of those modifications. Let's be fair here, the company does advertise this phone as a stock android phone, targeting it for the many fans of a "pure android" experience, so the company delivers on its promises, rather than it being an issue. Besides, all the apps (both developed by ASUS or many others) can be easily downloaded from the Play Store.

  • My New Zenfone Max pro M2 is nice but there is no any gelary app to show pics and videos. It's need update. Many options are not available in this phone like other general smart phone has easyly, so it's my recommendation, plz do some things fast.

  • What do you mean by great quality ? Hardware or software? Or it's just 'name'

  • scratch it with metal or sharp object maybe. i tried it with my fingers nails, it didn't

  • I hard, Both the back panel and screen easily get scratched, is it true?

  • Well isn't it great, now you can enter your favourite bar

  • is this phone available in offline ?

  • The call waiting botton not working.when the botton on the botton is green but when it back the app and the botton off automatically.the if talk with one person the another incoming call is not showing me though my sim operater enable the call waiting facility...why is there a fault in the Phone set.

  • i dont know when this phone but look so good

  • Dude where do you live? asus is better class. If you want great quality mid motorola G7 or sony XA2 pro

  • The USB debugging isnt working for file transfer and also no MTP support, serious BUG, how do they release phone without doing such a basic debug test ? The Status bar is total mess all in all. The CAM will disappoint you till the core, software is pathetic to process images, makes you look like 20 year old. BAD product.

  • Yes by specific country

  • don't know if it is bugs or what, this morning my max pro M2 suddenly turn of by itself after using camera. or it may be because one of installed App

  • is this phone are have nfc or not?, in description the nfc is yes, but review in you tube this phone doesn't have nfc

  • Because Its clearly Stated

  • Despite Zenfone Max Pro M2 has Snapdragon 660 It only has 2.4ghz WiFi Band

  • If you are looking for a budget mid gaming smartphone then this phone is for you.

  • There is no NFC

  • no, it can work only on 2.4ghz wifi

  • can it detect 5Ghz wifi? please reply

  • how to capture panorama shot in this phone

  • Dont buy this phone Mobile problems mic issues

  • Is there any lag/framedrops when playing games while recording?

  • Is there any lag when playing games while recording?

  • Facing Difficulty to scan PayTM QR code and other QR code. The QR code looks thinner and longer using MaxM2 pro Anyone facing similar issues Any solution??

  • Do you find bug on max pro m2 ?

  • Been using Max Pro M2 for a week, overall i love it!. charging fast in the first hour, then getting slow in a second hour, takes 2 more hours to complete charging, and last for 2 days (normal usage social media, phone call and no gaming), fast charging is not necessary for me since the battery last long, and i can charge it while sleeping at night. Back camera works well, no noise at all in low light. result of Front camera selfie is not natural, your eyes bag will be erased and i look beautiful i/o handsome., but you can activate development mode on camera beside time laps feature capability, photo result looks natural but the quality seems to be reduced, tried to take picture in low light but noise exist. Video EIS 1080p work so fine in front and back camera, but sometimes it tries to be focus and focus again which sometimes a bit annoying. Face lock a bit slow compare to oppo phone, but not big deal. Speaker is awesome. you just need to increase the volume for 50% when earphone plugged and it already sound loud in your ear, while other phones may need 70%.

  • Are you sure? i have been wanting to update it, but a bit scary of troubles that might occurred .

  • Can you tell me if this phone's display and camera are better or not in comparaison with xiaomi mi 8 lite

  • not best but decent.

  • Same here

  • Just bought 2 days ago and can confirm this issue is true. I thought it was my rom being buggy or the touchscreen being buggy. I tried to clear all apps via the muktitask button and canr be cleared. Sometimes happen with normal apps. Signal is intermittent also and sometimes tend to keep missing the sms being sent. But over all, i was satisfied with the user experience. The batt lasts me a day and 3 hrs with very very very hard usage!

  • Worst phone ever. First of all memory card is not detected properly. So I am returning the phone and waiting for the new one. (flipkart never refunds your hard earned money, so only replacement!) then comes the notch. The os and the screen is not properly optimized and that reflects. You will see the time or battery icon on top right seems like trimmed off due to the rounded corner. The notch is so big, even if you want to see movies or videos full screen, it will show the bottom of the notch there. There is absolutely no way to hide notch (like others do). The camera tries to work in low light but pathetic experience. In daylight somehow works fine. But not great. Then comes the speaker. It's ridiculously loud and breaks the music when in full volume. Suppose you are trying to listen music via some good bluetooth speaker like I use the mi Bluetooth speaker 1st generation, it breaks at highest volume. Then signal reception is good but you can't manage the incoming call vibration along with the ringtone. Either enable or disable it. Yes, we are expecting stock android, but Asus has already added some tweaks in the os, so for these stuffs definitely they could add up some more. This proves they have just came with a beta version phone and you are paying money to test them. Once you review and report these they might fix it in next update, but why should I pay for a beta version phone?

  • Post update.. you may see lag in touch.. Touch not working fine.. need to touch 2-3 time sometime...

  • I was hoping to find a replacement for my Lenovo P2 in this one. But although the battery has 5000 mAh like the Lenovo P2 the reviewers do not seem to be impressed by the battery life of the M2. It performs like a less than 4000 mAh phone and takes over 3 hours to recharge.

  • it's PIE Jesus..

  • No it was not android pie update, just normal update and yes i think there could be touch issue with multitouch function, i could not tap on my gun while running in pubg, it happened couple of time.

  • Yes bro songs is not showing after new Update

  • did u updated android pai???

  • I am Facing Battery drain issue,,6GB variant... PUBG runs max 4 hours from 100 to 5%.. even standby time is terrible.. It goes from 100% to 94% in just 2-3 hours on standby mode... very dissatisfied. Anyone else facing similar issue?

  • I did the update, no issue with me

  • Do not update ROM (letest update) it is buggy and touch is not working correctly.

  • The phone does not allows to transfer app from internal memory to SD card !!. Any update coming soon ?

  • Any heating or battery drain issue ?

  • The Bestest phone of 2018-2019. &#128522; Thanks Asus.

  • So is this a good phone for gaming ? Although i only play ragnarok eternal love.... Is the charging really take much time ? Based on the price is this phone worth ?

  • camera back button not found

  • This phone heating issue is real, playing pubg under blanket in winter with the case attached started heating up and lagging after 2 pubg game, battery temperature 45°c and cpu more than 50°c, now am worried about summer, definitely not happy with this phone.

  • honor suck, asus suck, samsung good lol

  • Taiwan (Republic of China/ China Taipei/ Formosa) was not part of South East Asia, Only these country are consider South East Asia; Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Phillipine, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Those country also member to Association of South East Asia Nation (ASEAN). And of course this phone in Taiwan get NFC because Asus are from Taiwan and they will favour their own country.

  • Battery backup from 100 to 50 could be different from 50 to 10, i have not charged my phone overnight since i bought this phone, and also i don't use it while charging since it degrades battery lifespan and never share charger or use other's old charger. Once a little bend occurs inside the phone micro usb point or inside the charger pin, you will be experiencing more heating issue then it does normally and might even result in poor battery backup. Anyway i am pretty sure that's not case with you, i think you use a lot of background active apps or do you ? Try reset or restart for major bugs. And guys front camera is below average, can't even tap on my face to focus, have to keep the phone in a certain range to focus face properly, am just waiting for next update hoping many issues will be solved and did i tell you the phone was more snappier out of the box and now after installing many big games and other apps the phone feels not slow exactly but you do start to get that feel of the animation of scrolling and swiping. and now i really wish it had fast charge support which i didn't cared and thought 5000 mah don't need charge often. And guys honor 8x is not a bad phone, although it has 3750 mah it can provide you a very good battery backup too, in pubg 8x is gonna provide almost same battery backup as m2 because of its processor and other gaming feature

  • Hehe, that depends on what generation of iPhone you are coming from...

  • It has the first gen of quick charge, 5V2A, which isn't fast charging anymore... No latest generations of fast charging are supported...

  • Why do you feel that the honor 8x quality is worst? It has a metal and glass frame, battery stands up to its limits, I find nothing worse in the 8x

  • *took

  • Is max pro M2 have a more long charging time when the phone is not standby mode than when then phone at standby mode. Because when last night I charge this phone (the phone didnt standby) it tool 6 hour why????

  • thank you! that sealed the deal! i'm a really heavy gamer and would want to know that this is up to the challenge. i've been an apple user for the longest time and i sure hope that asus m2 would not dissapoint my switch to android

  • South East Asia isn't correct, Taiwan will get the ZB631KL model with NFC for sure. (MPM1 (ZB602KL) has got it there as well) Taiwan versions are widely sold on ebay and Amazon com Everybody, please post if you know a country with NFC version, Code C/N, P/N (Part Number) would be nice.

  • Is it me or everyone feel the same about the video output on this phone. The 1080p and 720p video when watch on youtube not that sharp. Is it becoz of fps or the screen ratio. My previous mi max 2 display is way better..

  • NFC availability is depent on market, for Russia this phone do have NFC and maybe no NFC for South East Asia market.

  • Hello everyone, i want to ask questions. Does this phone really has NFC ? Because this gsmarena page says it has, but when i crosschecked to asus web page, it says nothing about nfc. Could somebody confirm about this?

  • The box does not contain quick charger. Does anyone know if the device support quick charging if i buy separate charge? If yes supports quick charging 3 or 4? ALso does anyone know why does have mini usb and not the new one?

  • No way. Asus is much better brand better quality. Also has Gorilla Glass 6 and very big battery. Finally Honor does not support LTE 800 MHz band

  • Honor does not support LTE 800 MHz (B20). Also the quality is much worst, battery worst . Asus is much better brand. If you want better processor go for Asus Zenfone 5z

  • Rear camera is good Front camera is average

  • honor 8x is best in processsor and camera

  • anyone plz help me , if u already used max pro m2 so plz tell me about phone camera

  • Some says that Honor 8X is better than Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, is it true? And how? Thanks for answering.

  • Download AIDA64 app from playstore and check the battery and cpu temperature after playing intensive game, let me know. To do it go to the app and tap on thermal section.

  • What you've heard is very wrong my friend... Let me guess, was this told you by some offline retailer? Let me tell you that 3 friends are using the max pro M1 and they never faced any issues neither with the swelling of battery or degradation in battery life... Also the battery removal is very easy and can be done by the service centre...

  • i've heard that there had been issues with previous zenfone overall battery life. i've heard that the battery either bloats or cannot stand prolonged usage and heats up making the phone useless. Also i've heard that battery replacement is close to impossible and if you do find a replacement it doesn't last long. is the same true for this phone?

  • Can you tell about you're experience use this smartphone?

  • Didn't you see the notch ?

  • What differs this on the M1? I thought the phone was triple cam as what it was leaked.

  • Does anyone here experiencing heating problem while playing PUBG (2 games) Is it normal??

  • im quite amused about this stock android, and im already missing a lot about Zen UI.. can you recommend an APP that lets me save contacts to Sim? there are reviews for some popular apps but im not able to find an app that supports dual sim. thanks!

  • If asus team view here then my suggestion is to improve camera in which they are very weak than other competitors.

  • What kind of review is this without battery endurance rating.not suitable for this site.

  • Thanks for the advice. But I'm not a gamer, so 3gb should be sufficient for my other apps. I just want to make sure Google camera works fine, so for that 3gb sufficient or 4 gb needed

  • Battery test numbers please!!!

  • have nfc

  • Very good price with affordable price. I will go with 6 GB RAM instead.

  • Max lock is best but it needs xposed ...

  • go for 4GB ram bro..u will not face RAM problem in future

  • I found this thing on almost every applock I used, that's why I prefer OEM included applocks...

  • Even if all this is on, a 5000mah phone cannot drain from 100% to 38%... From 100% to 38% would require a screen on time of almost 5-6 hours, which is less probable to happen at night...

  • Could any one tell does the Google Camera works fine on 3GB version of this phone or should I go for 4 GB, as I heard Google camera uses more memory

  • It does spy on us friend. Just like every OS (, apps, and social medias. They collect data based on your likes, views, interactions together with your personal data(age, sex, location). They sell the data for survey agencies, and they themselves use the data for "targeted advertising". Twitter for example calls it "ads taylored for you". This is how they earn tons of money. Free browsers are the worst. This new "AI" technology they incorporate with the system and camera is a more precise tool for identifying data (your interests). Even Snapdragon which is a SOC feeds on these. That's why they are cheap and mostly free (apps). Same with WEb browsers. UC browser for example sends these to Alibaba, which leaks data to the Chinese government as Jack Ma confessed when the Chinese government demanded it from him. Try also reading the privacy statements and agreements where data collection is stated. They're engineered to be lengthy so you would ignore reading and just check the check boxes. and don't think these don't happen to Apple.

  • Please add "notification light" option in specification parameter.

  • Hey I charge my phone last night 100% or next morning I found still 100% make sure I closed all app like pubg or something closed. my phone gave bettry full day under heavy usages

  • Nokia 7.1 costs 639 sar(170$ and 12000 rs) in saudi arabia you can check it in jarir bookstore it is even cheaper than nokia 5.1 plus

  • Can someone recommend me a good applock, most of the applock i tried are slow, you can quickly tap on something inside the apps you lock before the lock animation comes, can even scroll messages on some of the applock apps, very useless and from recent list you can peek inside, it's very useless

  • Did you restart your phone ? Restart helps most problem. When was the last time you restart your phone ? And did you tweak your phone ? do you use two sim ? Do you use Fb app and messenger and insta apps that came preinstalled ? Turn off autorotate and adaptive brightness ? Do you Clear all the apps in background after using them ?

  • u sure u didnt let like a hundred apps running in background?

  • it's a battery hunger phone. last night i recharge it 100 % . in the morning i found it 38 %. when i check in battery setting . os system eat 32 and phone ideal 18 %.. and all other applications was normal

  • Now I'm getting really confused between the 8x and m2... Snapdragon 660 is a 2 year old chip, hope Qualcomm releases drivers for the next Android version...

  • Go to setting/connected device/printing/default print service/ turn it off guys And Google drive auto backup is on by default, Google sync is already running for basic backup too so you might wanna turn Google drive off unless you use it to back up photos and videos

  • 0 to 100 will take more than 160 minutes, and if anyone is having "device not compatible" issue while trying to install only some certain apps on playstore, don't worry and just go to your apps in settings and clear both cache then data of playstore app, and restart playstore. I found some games like mortal kombat x showing device not compatible under install section in playstore, also a guitar tuner app call guitartuna was showing same and certainly many more apps, i thought those were actually not compatible until i came to knew this was just a glitch from playstore created while first time optimising playstore on my new max pro m2. Do that and it's solved, hope it helps some people

  • How long charge full from 0-100? Wanna change the great lenovo p1turbo, 12h screen on (mix gamea, social media) charge 5000mah under 2h, battery life 3years Drop a lot, just fine

  • Yep ! Definately even I like stock android but not able to use it bcoz the basic features as you said applock + for me scrolling screenshot and some others like full screen gestures are not their ...and for os they release with 8.1 coz I think they are going to provide 2 major updates for this Phone so one will be pie & the other will be 10.0 so they are done with this phone that's why they launch with 8.1 just like Xiaomi always launch their Phones on older version and provide newer version so they are done with Asus also doing the same things and for Facebook coz Facebook have a contract with OEM so they can mine our data on system level....

  • I feel you bro... Little things here and there make the UI really intrusive... That's the reason I adore oxygen os... Simpler like stock Android yet feature rich... You can try Google camera by enabling camera2api... It makes the camera much better than stock camera app... The updates are delayed because the basic software needs to be optimised according to the hardware, the ROM on a pixel device will vary if compared to the ROM on a zenfone or any stock andriod phone because the hardware on each is different... According to the ROM drivers needs to be designed and that takes time...

  • Buy this definitely, looks fantastic in daylight without the transparent case but the shiny back which is made of plastic won't be looking so good in the long run

  • I want to buy smartphone under 215 EUR. Which smart phone should I buy?

  • But stock android is very fast after all and the speaker is legit, the bass is real, some might not like this sound because they find it different after listening to their own phone with more small speaker with more treble. This phone was manufactured in Indonesia, sad and latest news 43 killed and many injured in tsunami at Indonesia(blessthem)

  • Gamers won't be happy with this phone , pubg default was medium setting and was set on balanced, i used gfx tool and well am not extremely happy with the performance as i expected from sd660 i know that's because it's underclocked, its just a little better than sd 636, am not sure yet if i am happy with this phone or not lol , camera is fine just average and turns out i don't like stock Android so much like i expected (this is my first stock android phone) i would prefer redmi phones os more to be honest, reason- no inbuilt setting for hiding notch or to show data speed on notification and most important no default app lock setting i mean those setting got nothing to do with stock android, now you have to do by downloading specific apps from playstore which generally comes with ads, stock android should have included those important setting instead of giving us facebook and instagram apps, the lack of those important setting really annoys me off and if stock android is so serious about bloatware why give facebook instagram and messenger which you can't uninstall, not everyone uses those if they think people will download applock and other apps for their need why give camera then,we w can download camera apps also, you know what, don't give nothing become the ultimate zero apps OS then lol, the more i think the stupider this OS becomes, and why January for pie give it right away if it's stock android, ( i am also paranoid about stock android,i think it spies on us )

  • That's a con that even I hate about stock Android... Its just too simple....

  • Micro usb in 2019? and 5000mAh battery? Unbelievable.

  • please have a review on this phone which price at 6 GB RAM 64 GB for 245 USD , comparing it to much higher price HONOR PLAY - 285 USD AND POCOPHONE F1 - 320 USD. HELP Pleaseeeee

  • Bought it last wednesday, impressed with endurance and temperature keep cool even when on and tethering. Only get hot while charging. If only the frame is metal would be nice. UI kind of minimal and dont even have buuilt in memo and gallery. Camera is good. Quite a value phone it is.

  • Is this phone can memory up to 2 TB...? Flipkart seems that, believe in GSM Areana.

  • got this phone a couple of days ago from shopee. getting full day battery from high amount of gaming using 4G + running hotspot. getting around 7hrs of SOT. and if anybody is interested, it can run honkai impact 3 in max settings, but only at around 40-50 fps. fps goes back to 60 if u turn off the PP in the setting

  • I am getting 5 days of battery backup, however internet use is minimal and i use phone on 3G.

  • The zenfone 3 deluxe was priced at 64k, zenfone AR at 52k, zenfone zoom S at 27k, if that explains the latter

  • I just received the phone in evening and tested the hardware by hardware test apps, I was charging and using internet and some apps the phone battery reach 43 degree and only idle charging reach around 38 degree , after I charged it up 100% normal task like downloading and browsing were doing 32°c.....and for your question or info in thermal, it goes like emmc_therm, pa_therm0,pm660_tz, pm660l_tz, msm_therm, quiet_therm, xo_therm and then tsens_tz_sensor0 then 1 and 2 till 13 then bms, hope that helps, Let me know, I will be downloading pubg in few hour at night am worried about temperature but let's see, and as for the experience the phone feels very plastic I mean it in terms of build quality this phone is sure cheap, the notch is not optimised for some apps and the bottom curve of both corner of display is not exactly semicircle or smooth kind of turns around to make a curve and then a little edgy then curves again, it seems and looks cheap as if the glass was not cut properly but the quality of the display is great, colours looks good but in terms of brightness Redmi note 5 have more brightness and can go very dim, M2 screen not so bright and dim either, body is weak but the screen is gorilla 6 that actually makes sense I mean we care about breaking screen more when we drop it right, I recommend you to put less pressure on phone just be careful I wish atleast the frames were metal and well you get what you get you know cost cutting will be done somewhere atleast the speaker is very loud very very loud :D I will testing the quality at night though

  • Because Xiaomi and Realme compel to Asus

  • What is name of sensor in AIDA64 / Thermal which reported 49 degree Celsius? I don't own M2.

  • Stop slapping your useless theory everywhere... In 2016 ASUSs pricings were insane in the market after the success of their zenfone 4,5,6... The zenfone 3 deluxe was launched with a price tag of 64k in the Indian market, that's the slot where the samsungs and apple reside... The zenfone zoom S, having SD 625 at a price tag of 26k... Good that asus learnt its lesson and lowered their prices or else asus would be somewhere like the SONYs and HTCs...

  • It is not, ASUS still made the more expensive Zenfone 5, which is upgrade model for Zenfone 3. The Zenfone Max are low end model with big battery. But now ASUS make the Zenfone Max series to equip with midrange processor same as the regular Zenfone series, starting the Pro M1 with SD636 and now the Pro M2 with SD660, which is common among Xiaomi smartphone, and now Realme brand.

  • Download cpu-z and find all information about this phone.... According to this app this has snapdragon 636 chip based on 1.95 clocks speed....

  • Does it support Airtel/Vodafone VoLTE services?

  • Asus used to price their smartphones at a premium at that time, its now almost a 3 year old device, asus might not be even making it anymore, its just the old left out stock retailing in the market...

  • Why is this model cheaper than asus zenfone 3 5.5 when it's specs are obviously greater?

  • what is name of sensor in AIDA64 / Thermal ?

  • you should tweak the phone os and setting if you are having too much heating, you should start with changing the performance mood to normal or somthing, disable autobrightness and gps and maybe google sync if its easy for you to enable and disable manually, keep brightness below 50 and keeping the network mode to lte only if you have 4g or keep it wcdma only if you use 3g. try these, it should solve your problem, changing battery mode is important, you should not keep it in performance mood all the time, click it when you need it, or the even normal task ends up using over performance. i am pretty sure it will help. because this phone already have 4.5 ratings on their first sale, i will receive it tomorrow, i will let you know about my experience tomorrow at this time, i just hope delivery dont delay

  • I think partly 2k19 can't played properly on Huawei own Kirin chipset is because of compatibility. Simply this game is not optimized for Kirin processor. On common, Qualcomm Snapdragon has very less this kind of compability issue, simply because they are used by much more OEM brand. So, developer will prioritize development and optimization on Snapdragon powered smartphone, then only optimized for Kirin, Exynos and Mediatek processor.

  • No one try to drop their phone. Dropping is also the most subjective thing to say where not every drop will make the smartphone survive. Xiaomi and ASUS phone is using lower grade part in term of technology, not low quality. Just like LCD vs AMOLED, of course in general term all said AMOLED is better, but both are not low quality, they just differ on picture quality, not differ in durability. Low quality means it will broken easily, but simply this is not the case. I found Xiaomi smartphone is actually comparably durable. Not a fanboy of both company, but I did own a couple of Xiaomi and ASUS smartphones and I found them actually very durable. Just that because of low price point, they can only provide the technology as such for it's price. You won't find other company except ASUS, Xiaomi and Honor, maybe Meizu, Realme, try to provide comparable specs smartphone at such low price. Yes, their smartphone compromise because of low price point, but quality of these smartphone are great.

  • It is obviously is because of cost cutting.

  • This

  • How much it is? How long u can use it.. battery is 5000 Tnks

  • that gaming phone cant play 2k19 lol..

  • I buy it yesterday.. really this phone have heating problem . During the WhatsApp video call it goes up to 49 degree Celsius.. Colors are over saturated on display. Sounds quality is very bad ..

  • In addition xioami dont pay research just copy from motorola as innovator thats why cheap. mid to low phone only give company enough profit to survive, the reason xiaomi cheaper is lower quality, try drop same height with asus and you see my point

  • v11 or this ?

  • honor 8x provides just a couple more antutu benchmark score so what ? the sd 660 on asus although its abit underclocked can run pubg hd fine (if you want more score u can go with honor play which is currently selling for very cheap almost around same price range) , honor 8x same as honor play have average quality display and poor speakers and m2 got better display not just physically which they do with gorilla 6 but also 94% NTSC colour gamut and screen contrast 1500:1 and far better sound with 5 magnet speaker, (very big reason for me to choose asus or i was gonna buy honor play ) and well what more, far better battery backup and stock android etc and in terms of design honor 8x does look better but good luck when you drop it, especially the back glass, if you are very serious with performance and a gamer and you can sacrifice sound and display quality abit then stop complaining about asus and just go with honor play before discount sale is over

  • i used ok not issue heating

  • price segment really? max pro m2. 6/64 higher price than 4/128 honor8x ..but antutu score still 8x win. and max pro m2 have heating issue.lol

  • Amazing,,, perfect phone for me,,&#128523;

  • To top up on my theory on WiFi, Youtube 1080p video and Netflix HD run perfectly smooth on 2.4Ghz WiFi, given the minimum 10mbps fiber internet as the internet source, and it is the same internet speed on 5Ghz WiFi (tested on 5Ghz supported phone with 433mbps WiFi speed connection). 5Ghz WiFi only needed on home media server streaming, but that also less stable than a cable connection with only 100mbps speed. All my devices including laptop that support 5Ghz WiFi cannot stream properly with video file larger than 10GB, but no problem when laptop and Bluray HTS stream thru Ethernet cable with 100mbps speed from my home NAS, of course 2.4Ghz WiFi bandwidth is way less, way less stable, but 5Ghz WiFi isn't that much stable either.

  • Technically, this phone only lack the 5Ghz WiFi support. Some may bitter on the lack of fast charging support for it's 5000mah battery, and also no NFC. For WiFi, I found that no problem on this smartphone as the 2.4Ghz is more than enough, won't be issue with internet video streaming too, and far less issue with internet web browsing and other thing that involve internet. 5Ghz is only posssing problem on local server video streaming where people want to stream high quality video from their home DLNA server, which is quite not feasible where WiFi itself, even it is 5Ghz will be much less stable than streaming using cable. I found the old 100mbps Ethernet cable is the most stable connection for streaming (tested with Bluray HTS with WiFi and cable). Tested also with 5Ghz router, it is far less stable than a 100mbps cable given when it say my 5Ghz supported smartphone that get WiFi speed of 433mbps on WiFi is actually way slower and less stable in real life usage. No problem on low quality video or small compressed video file as these need much lower bandwidth (similar to Netflix streaming), but pose problem on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi on video file that is over 10GB.

  • Lenovo p2 is a 2 year phone with 2 year ago Android version... If that's the case the j7(2015) was also a super AMOLED phone... The A5s A7s A8s A9s all these phones ( the outdated versions) would have super AMOLED and on ebay with some offer would be available for 10-20k... Lets talk about the latest phones with good specs bro, the phones that are value for money...

  • I just heard in the comments that you can disable ads... And bringing something to the offline market requires money, the stores need to pay bills too... Xiaomi may not be the most value for money brand as of now, but I feel that the hike in price is justified

  • Yeah, there is no point in buying those devices from Samsung

  • Don't know bro, not using Xiaomi :/

  • Even Lenovo P2 uses 1080p super amoled at the same price as this phone and even has almost same specification and thus a value for money phone

  • Dear, only fanboy or paid PR machinery can defend the defenseless. Xiaomi used same tactics of 1st better hardware, & 2nd Online exclusive making it "more at low cost". That is how it beat Motorola, Samsung & all orhers So, when rule of game are same they why you are even defending "hiked prices" because of offline retairship etc Regarding UI Xiaomi & others, Xiaomi become worst because of irritating forced advertisement everywhere from locks reen to apps. How UI of Xiomi is better when you pay for phone & get advertisement Another point. Xiaomi is no more "more at low cost". Not only in price, but SD 660 on Zenphone max 2 pro & realme 2 pro etc are much more powerful & futureready than same old SD636 Yes, success has gone into head of Xiaomi. They are running huge negative campaign against other companies whoever is offering better product. Xiaomi is even blocking any YouTube blogger who is pointing out you are paying Xiaomi & then get "forced irritating adds" It is like "TV keep showing adds, even when you switched of the screen"

  • Tell Me abt battery backup. How many days without charging I can Use. In 1 Day How much % Battery Consumed?

  • WHY ONLY ON OUR COUNTRY DOESNT HAVE NFC? micro usb type B its okay for me, my zenfone 2 had nfc. why this phone doesnt have on our country? it will be perfect if they give us too.

  • That's true brother &#128077;

  • Asus is doing really good job.I want to request asus team to improve camera and add slow motion via software update.If they do this this phone will be best phone

  • Nope, 8X is not better than this beast, even if we take that in this price segment.

  • I didn't say samsung phones are good (the cheap ones) I just told him that there are phones that have super amoled display in the budget segment

  • Disabling ads in xiaomi is very easy just go to settings and disable them So ads are not a problem you should understand this and xiaomi offers better overall experience

  • i ordered it today ,and i did saw youtubers getting 43 degree during gameplay on this phone and i use to think 43 degree is normal temperature during gameplay now am seeing people talking about overheating during gaming, and am confuse but though its heating during heavy intensive game i think 43 degree is normal, many of the last 2 year phones use to get 43 degree celcius during gaming thats because its absolutely normal for the cpu to take that much heat, just check if battery temp is not overheating, thats what you should worry not more and not all phones have cooling system and poco f1 with liquid cooling system also gets 43 and 45 more degree during pubg max setting i think 43 should be infact normal, for example, now the phones normal sar value is 1.6 something and if in future it becomes possible to remove sar value and all the companies are making phones with no sar value and meanwhile some company made a phone with 1.6 sar value would you say then 1.6 sar value is bad and not normal at that time ? maybe it wont be normal but it wont be any bad. do you feel me what am saying just look at the other pros of the phone, am excited to check out the audio output through headphones, i hope thats better than redmi, and hey also not all games gonna overheat only intensive games

  • honor 8x better than this.. no hassle peace of mind. 6/64 max pro m2 no match in 4/128 honor 8x.

  • True..

  • While gaming these temperatures are normal... Temperature of the phone also depends upon the climatic conditions of the specific place...

  • Actually not... I'm not a fanboy of any company but let me tell you that Xiaomi hyped costs because of their offline availability... Xiaomi now has their own stores in the offline market, the costs need to be hyped up to retain availability... Realme, asus and others don't have offline presence as at this point xiaomi has... And bro, look at the realme's UI, its so annoying, you cannot even use launchers to change the UI... I completely agree with you that xiaomi should not have integrated ads in the UI but everything comes with a con, xiaomi provides latest andriod features with MIUI that's a pro and ads are con here...

  • No it doesnt. But M1 does.

  • Maybe you should ask which country do the reviewer live

  • I bought this phone 2 days ago I've notice that the normal temperature of this is 36-37 celcius (not using the phone), 39-40 Celsius (in use) Is it normal ?

  • Dear Friends Nowadays if we browse this website for opinions on a particular mobile, it is becoming difficult to get it. Very difficult to understand somebody's opinions. Queries are more and opinions are less. Somebody talks about other phones except the present one on which we are debating. My request is to submit opinion on a particular mobile only after using it for some time. It would be beneficial for others to decide whether to go for it or not. Regards

  • bro in winter season 43 degree is not normal...just think the temp in summer season.

  • Samsung J series only gives AMOLED , J stands for JOY of Colors and that's what AMOLED series basically. They don't have any other things in phone. Even AMOLED had low ppi resolution in J series. M2 gives battery , 2A charger , sensors , camera , IPS but 1080p bigger and more Screen to body ratio , Snapdragon 660 . This processor used in 36K Samsung A9 2018 but that has smaller battery , poor screen to body ratio , camera mp are just number there sensor and pixel size is smaller than sony imx 486.

  • Success has gone into head for Xeaomi. They are forcing irritating adds everywhere. Not only while working on any app, but Xeaomi also giving adds on even locked screen Even Xeaomi no mirecus "more for low cost". Honor, Asus Zenphone & realme have upped the "more for low cost" offers. Never be fanboy of anyone company. Best for bucks keep changing with time

  • Generally 43 degrees while gaming is normal if not okay then maybe the December update will solve it... M1 would not have good cameras

  • If AMOLED is the only deciding factor, then go with those mobiles... In my honest opinion I feel that, unless a phone is not a flagship or a premium midrange smartphone AMOLED should not be the deciding factor... Given that the LCD panel is as good as AMOLED... I'm using S7 and looking forward to buy this phone, I don't bother unless the panel is good... Waiting for the reviews...

  • but bro m2 have heating problem by playing asphalt and pubg only 30min it goes upto 43° C..does m1 have the same issue? and also the m2 is underclocked and price is also higher than m1.

  • You can also buy honor play @ 16k

  • go for m2 bro i have m1 its still a good phone but m2 offers u upgraded processor, gorila glas 6, and m2 camera way better than m1.. so go blindly for m2

  • where do you live by the way? nokia 7.1 is not available at the same price.

  • Nokia 7.1 is better it is unde android one

  • Even samsung j4 and j2 uses super amoled at cheaper price At this price there is j6 and j8

  • But they use amoled

  • Hmm... They aren't value for money, are they?

  • I am confused which one should i buy Zenfone Max pro M1(6GB RAM) or Zenfone Max pro M2(4GB RAM) both priced same i.e. 15k INR I also saw on youtube that M2 have heating problem while playing asphalt and pubg like it goes upto 43 degree Which one should I buy?

  • Samsung j8 j6 does provide super amoled displays

  • 4gb ram or 6gb ram

  • Exactly , that's the point. Earlier samsung flagships were quite slim and compact in size. Even the i phones are quite compact. I think there is a huge market for compact full view mobiles and the compaies should try to bring it at an affordable rate.

  • Speaker is not good. Does anyone know is this phone support fast charging...??

  • watch this then :P

  • Endurance rating plz

  • Bro, the 5ghz wifi band is very rare... Just 20% people are using the 5ghz band, I agree that asus should have included it as it could make the device a little future proof, but I completely understand and you should too, that cost cutting had to be done somewhere...

  • I can name several... The note 5 pro, note 6 pro, honor 8x, honor 9 lite, honor 9n, honor play... All these have ips lcd displays... You get AMOLED only above 20k...

  • Xiaomi is good with their own UI... My friend's redmi 3s just received the MIUI 10 update, MIUI implements the features in the latest andriod versions through their MIUI updates... That's good because generally entry level phones don't even get 2 generations of andriod update... Not supporting Xiaomi but that's a cool thing from xiaomi...

  • You don't have to get premium phone for 5ghz, all the basic phone like realme, redmi note, moto one has it. it has become a minimum standard now

  • But if rog is a lot more expensive what to do if we can't afford it?

  • . . . and the others complaining about WiFi ac Buy the ROG Phone ... it supports - WLAN 802.11ad w/ 60GHz lol

  • this phone lacks Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (5 ghz), none of the reviewers speaks about it. Looks Asus has paid the reviewers heavily to talk positive about it. Need to wait for longer to see actual user performance before buying it.

  • Strange this phone doesn't have 5ghz (ac) wifi support, which has been part of most phones now days

  • as of now 8x is better than m2.. waiting for update

  • Im think this is a better phone to use with all aspect...the battery,the price,the spec,and the design has a good smartphone to use on this days...camera,speed,its awsome..for me,its a good smartphone for its price

  • how did u get it before the sale...???

  • Eagerly waiting to buy this phone

  • Name one pls

  • Oh! Updates in xioami ,&#128514;&#128514;&#128514;please? dude i had mi a1 and it was under android one program probably the best program out there when it comes about update but xioami screwed that too ...they were not able to provide updates on time...one time i recieved january security patch in march with bugs and lets just say it happened again with july patch and september patch .....

  • Better Asus give a full performance for SD 660 with little expensive price,in my country between 300-500 thousand more than price now in 3/32 variant, if happen i really appreciate and i buy it

  • Glass back is look good, but fragile.

  • nope. all variants have same camera.

  • This phone is really unstable and lagging when on plugged in. It felt like i using handphone with low spec, and the screen touch are hard to click to open apps, idk whats the problem. but i think its about the temperature. The problem(hard to touch, lag, unstable) coming when the phone is in warm condition.

  • This is because it's shiny back is made of polycarbonate or called plastic, same as Realme 2 Pro, that's why it scratches.

  • No phone at this price range uses amoled

  • Its stock Android, I don't think so these features would exist

  • I never said that it matters, only if you can read the last sentence that reads, " but the battery capacity is worth the wait"... 5V2A charging was called fast charging during the generations of the galaxy note 3, at present its just normal charging its just asus marketing the same thing again... Not a problem... And whatever case you get dust particles enter the case and scratch up the back, if it was glass then it would not scratch... The youtuber beebom's unit scratched even though he was using a case ( I guess)... Still not complaining but worried about the durability because a scratched up phone may not look good in the pocket...

  • I love both

  • Xiaomi is better because they provide regular updates to even their low end smartphones

  • Will the 6GB variant have 16MP back and a front camera just like M1 had?

  • not the decision, but your behavior is awful according reviews charging takes 2:40' troll elsewhere!

  • You don't need to lie I watched almost every charging test of zenfone max pro m2 on youtube ....it takes almost 2hrs 50 min to 3hr

  • no. It taking 3 hrs from 0 to 100%

  • Charging time will be 4hrs with 10w charged. Awful decision from Asus.

  • Nokia 7.1 or zenfone max pro m2 ? I found them at the same price nokia 7.1 is on discount so I need to choose quickly

  • Go for ROG Phone it has a very special AMOLED dp. for you

  • I like Asus brand than Xiomaaai

  • how is the quality of the display

  • if they use amoled the price will increase

  • can we change navigation buttons position right to left like other phone ? bcz this phone has back navigation button on left side .. please tell me can we chnage it to right side or not ?

  • Please review Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M2) do camera conparison with Honor 8x

  • This midrange phone not flagship why so dumb

  • WiFi type is b/g/n not yet WiFi a/b/g/n/ac support, and still using old micro usb, Come on Asus.. i think adding $50 is still worth for price if you add WiFi a/b/g/n/ac and type-c usb for this phone.

  • so you are saying that m2 is better than z5?

  • Yeah go for poco f1 and add 5k more

  • and what does it matter? MPM1 charges faster, than some other phones with that Quick Charge label. Check for charging comparisons with Redmi Note 5 (Pro) on YTube! ASUS knows more about charging than some others, big producer of notebooks, and powerbanks as well. Check for the powerbank with PD (Power Delivery). ... or for the charging solution of ROG Phone. that's knowledge and simply buy a case, if you are worrying about that back. but already available, as spare part lol

  • Obviously the poco is better! In almost every way!

  • Why they can't produce it with AMOLED? It's almost 20freakin19!

  • It all depends on RAM management, if done properly, 4gb is enough if not 6 gb is also less...

  • It is a generation old charging... But the battery capacity is worth the wait... Planning to buy one, but worries about the plastic glossy back scratching up...

  • Poco F1... A SD 845 will always be better than SD660

  • i think poco f1 will be better as it has flagship processor and it supports hdr graphic for pubg.

  • i am a heavy user i play pubg a lot for which phone is better asus mpro m2 or poco f1?

  • 5V / 2A is not regular charging! ( regular charging is 500mA or 1A ) Here is, that ASUS tells about " ASUS BoostMaster is the 10W fast charging solution for ZenFone. To avoid damage from over-charging caused by uncertified third-party adapters, 5V2A charging power and claimed charging speeds can only be achieved using original packaged power adapter." and that's enough as well . . . a big akku takes more power in a short time of charging, if you are in hurry. and all the not necesserily needed, overhyped things would have licence cost and perhaps very expensive approval, certificating cost as well. Please don't complaine, enjoy very good tech for affordable prices. or simple pay more for better specs. But the ideal phone will you never find there will be allways somethings to complaine.

  • spend wisely bro..

  • Yes, NFC is optional (to be seen in some local product pages) as it is already in MPM1 (ZB602KL) Global model supports Google Pay, maybe available in resp. countries, they that support as well ???

  • Everything else excluding the processor and battery life, of course Zenfone 5 better. But Zenfone 5's SD636 processor is inferior to Zenfone Max Pro M2's SD660, not on the processor side, but GPU graphic side where SD660's Adreno 512 is 2 times more powerful than SD636's Adreno 509. Then, battery life on Max Pro M2 with 5000mah battery is significantly better than Zenfone 5's 3300mah battery. But Zenfone 5 support Qualcomm QC3.0 quick charge, Max Pro M2 only has regular 5V/2A charging.

  • 6b ram variant don't worth to buy ....i mean 17k for sd 660 is not acceptable and you can get honor play at the price of 17k which is having kirin 970 last year 's flagship processor 4/64 gb ram variant of max pro m2 is value for money ...you should go for it

  • MAX PRO M2 ZB631KL has NFC in Russia and CIS region, i think its optional.

  • No NFC in indian version as well. ZB630KL

  • there is no nfc present, at least in indonesian version

  • I want to buy this device & i need ur advice.....Should i buy the 4GB varient or 6GB varient. I play pubg alot my budget is rs 15k...will it make any difference if i choose the 4GB for Gaming? or is there any chance the price will drop.so i can choose the 6GB varient...plz reply ASAP

  • Need some advice.... (please don't include the price difference) In terms of overall specs, audio quality, build quality, especially camera and video recording.... Which is better? Zenfone max pro M2 or Zenfone 5?

  • hmm which model u using ? 660 AIE or 660? gpu base differenet cortex cpu also have minor different

  • What is the antutu score difference between Zenfone Max Pro m2 and Redmi note 6 pro?

  • Max pro m2

  • About ASUS' updates ZenFone 4 (ZE554KL) - midranger from 2017 - just has got update: - Enable 4G Dual sim Dual standby functions - means support for 4G/LTE on both SIM.

  • Xiaomi only give MIUI update to all their device and NOT all of them will get SECURITY PATCH and ANDROID VERSION updates only few of them will get it. The high end Mi series like Mi 8 get 2 Android version updates and 3 years security patch bundle with MIUI updates. The midrange like Mi Max series and Redmi Note series only get 1 Android version updates and 2 years of security patch bundles with MIUI. The lower end like Redmi 3/4/5/6A only get MIUI updates without security patch and of cause no Android version updates. MIUI updates if not bundles with security patch or Android version update is an updates for Xiaomi Device User Interface Skin. A lot of people are confusing with Xiaomi MIUI updates scheme because of Xiaomi provide MIUI updates to all their device even the very old one(back to 2013 device) it doesnt mean they contiounusly give security patch or Android version to all their device. MIUI updates are not apply to Xiaomi Android One series like MiA1, MiA2 and MiA2 Lite, this types get different updates from MIUI devices. I believe U too must be confusing with the Xiaomi MIUI updates schemes.

  • Asus mpm2

  • Notification Light, USB C, 5000 mAmps battery, 3 slots, Gorilla Glass 6, Bluetooth 5, Stock Android, Decent -Processor, Speaker & Camera,,,, LOVE IT!!

  • it have soc 660 but antutu score like 636, this is very bad mislead, i know its because asus underclocked cpu in zenfone max pro m2, they could have instead put a 636, this is just sad

  • hey guys, which one do you prefer, max pro m2 or mi max 3? for gaming, multimedia and daily use

  • There are multiple 2017 Xiaomi phones which haven't got update since August.

  • Making phone smaller doesnt mean the component inside can be made smaller. The camera module, processor, battery, display connector, speaker, usb port, ear jack and etc still as big as in the big size phone. Making it bigger mean more space for these components allowing for flexibility in internal arrangement.

  • +1 Nearly all companies are increasing the dimensions of the device irrespective of notch size/screen to body ratio.

  • NFC is present in zenfone pro max m2

  • Why none of the companies are bringing full view screen in compact mobiles.? Mobiles are getting bigger everyday.

  • looking for dual app feature, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 supports dual app?

  • Asus and Moto makes 5,000mAh battery phones but they always restrain the NFC - a real bad strategy for consumer !

  • Seriously bro, Xiaomi has still not provided 4k 60 fps and other features to their Poco f1 even after bringing Pie update and Asus are very fast in providing updates like they provided EIS on the zenfone max pro m1. Overall both of them provide fast and long duration updates.

  • is it really that zenfone max pro m2 has nfc?

  • What? . . . you know nothing about ASUS updates and ZenFones, just trolling here. But we know, that Shaomi Mi A1 (an Android One device by the way) terrible update track ... and that nice story with no function of built-in FM Radio. How long? .... nearly one year or . . .? That's a nice support! If you - and the others like you - would like to check for Zenfone updates go to ZenTalk forum, check 'Release Notes' for a phone or the resp. phones support pages on asus.com. . . . and here one example about the community support from ASUS: for this brand new phone already available - the Bootloader Unlock Tool and - Kernel Source Codes as well (needed for Devs of custom ROM-s) just even before some product and specs pages being made ready . . . lol Wich other phonemaker provide that kind of support?!

  • What?????? What do you mean by gurantee And xiaomi is far better than asus in providing updates Asus fon't care about their phones

  • It has 5000mah battery and you are worrying about battery

  • Would you like more clocks, or better battery time? This is a phone for two days use . . . I think 99,99% of users do not needs/ cares higher peaks. and a lots of phones have a SoC with lower freqs as well. . . . but it's possible Qualcomm also charges more for top clocked chips. Check for bench-s nothing is wrong with this. but it seems a lot of people would like First Class for budget prices here.

  • Unfortunately no.

  • Tech-Specs page is live on asus.com as well. ­https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Max-Pro-­M2/Tech-Specs/ MP-M2 is listed there with FAST CHARGING! - Battery 5000mAh capacity with fast charging Power Adapter Output: 5V 2A 10W - Also phone supports fast charging, as usual in Max-series. (Full charge 2:40' acc. reviews, similar as MP-M1.) Sadly it's nothing about NFC support there, but NFC support is optional available for sure. so you have to check ASUS' local sites, or specs by retailers. Russia, Malaysia (check LAZADA's pp, or news & reviews) have got it. Taiwan and some versions for Europe will get it for sure. FCC cert. (for America) is with NFC as well. Please post it, if you know other versions or markets with NFC.

  • what asus says they provide bro gurantee they are not xiaomi

  • I want this phone, but in Indonesia dont have NFC fiture , i'm confused .. M1 or M2

  • I'm wondering the same thing ....In flipkart ...specification says that its primary clock 's speed is 1.95gh but here(gsm arena) it is showing 2.2ghz .....I'm confused

  • what is the cpu speed of this device?can an tell me

  • is this a underclocked version of snapdragon 660 ?????????

  • Nice phone , please add 5GH band in Wifi....

  • Someone said if NFC is only available for Russian version, since Asus Indonesia doesn't say anything about NFC. Then, is Asus set the big.Core to 2GHz only instead 2.2GHz?

  • just front. the back side made from plastic

  • Is the 3gb model good for PUBG mobile??

  • have quick charging feature?

  • max pro m2 supports camera 2 api for Google Camera... just search on youtube for gcam zenfone max pro m2

  • Does it support fast charging ?

  • In terms of Camera A7 (2018) win. But battery life Max Pro M2 win. Maybe both phones have NFC.

  • This phone is not part of Android one programme. Doubt they will update to Android Q.

  • Max Pro M2 (ZB631KL) certificated with NFC, (to be seen in product pages and in some shops as well). Some more markets will get it this time, I think ... (it's already 'optional' in M1 Pro (ZB602KL) global model as well). Asks retailers to order that version. But don't complain than about prices.

  • im looking on paper only. and some early hands-on reviewer seems to say the camera is good, but not outstanding or anything. however until someone compares them side by side please take my comment with a grain of salt. i still prefer snapdragon over a kirin equivalent though.

  • Moto hs android one so this way better than asus

  • I'm not sure but as i know a7 2018 does not have nfc

  • I hope the 4/64gb costs 200 or less.

  • How do you know 8x has a better camera M2 pro is not even released yet

  • which is the best choice , Honor 8x or Asus m2

  • Good camera

  • how about camera ?

  • Max pro M2 doesn't have NFC

  • Hi, actually I meant about Type-C 3.X. Anyhow, thanks for the interpretation.

  • please help me to choose. Zenfone Max Pro M2 4/64 or A7 2018 4/64 ?? dont worry about the price. i just need nfc, and the camera. which is better ?

  • Lol SD660 VS SD 636 You say Moto One the best, so funny

  • Max pro M2: stock android, larger battery capacity, gorilla glass 6, dual sim LTE + dedicated SD card slot, glossy acrylic back honor 8x: larger screen, better camera, dual band wifi, NFC, glass back pick one that suits your needs

  • without having the perceotion of Zenfone pro m2, how can u say Moto power is best ? i think u r a Moto fan or a Seller

  • help me to choose max pro m2 or honor 8x. which is better?

  • it does not has NFC feature, so kindly change in the specification details
