Bump. I really need some suggestions
You can search on YouTube, there is many video about comparison between ZFM Pro M1 and Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Get a max pro m1. Period.

Pros and cons? Can you tell.me why is it better than note 5 pro?
On note 5 pro You can't play pubg on HD and with Hugh fps, the game even stutters when the graphics are on balanced and on medium frame rate.
On m1 the HD graphics and high frame rate works good.

I don't want to buy a phone for gaming. Besides both of the phones have the same chipset yet you claim that max pro beats note 5 pro at framerates. I know it is from the software but hey.

I have zmpm1 6gb variant and i also use rn5 pro.
Camera of rn5 pro is better than zmpm1 , sharpness saturation levels are far better and no fading when you zooming the pic plus you can record slow motion video in rn5 pro(slomo of rn5 pro is just amazing) .
MIUI is far better than the stock ui of zmpm1, because in zmpm1 there is no essential customization. You may feel bored after using zmpm1 for a while.
Obviously you can play pubg in hd graphics on zmpm1 but there is serious network issue, if you play online games on mobile data then you realize ping is so high that you can't play the game properly.
Only pro of zmpm1 are battery and sound quality both are amazing.
In rn5 pro you can't use 2 sim cad and micro sd at the same time but in zmpm1 you get 3 slots.
Zmpm1 receives many updates but Every update brings new problems.....
So in my opinion you must go with RN5 PRO

Interesting arguments. You think the phone will hold me more than 2 years (terms of updates)
Whyred has miui, zui, zenui, aosp, LOS, OOS by port or by sgsi, but ZMPM1 has in built treble support but very slow development. Whyred is for flashaholics.
Buy which ever you like
I personally bought max pro m1 6gb variant and don't have any issues. I play a lot of pubg and the ping is always under 100 ms. No network issue for me.
And I didn't face any bug or problem in software
I compared the cameras side by side and the amount of details my phone captures with gcam is insane while note 5 pro just makes everything more dark colored. + I don't use cameras so much so it don't matter to me.
Don't know about software updates on note 5 pro but Asus is getting up to android Q. +miui devices heat a lot.
It's your personal choice I preferred Asus over xiaomi. Buy whatever you want.
I have both Asus max pro m1 4Gb and Redmi note 5 pro
Trust me... Get asus....
Battery---I get really low sot on Note 5 pro whereas I get 14+ hrs SOT on asus max pro m1..
Performance -- asus wins
Camera-- I feel camera quality of asus is better because redmi note 5 pro Overexposes all the pics...looks unnatural....
Updates --- Pie is around the corner and We will get Android Q also...
UI-- If you want a slow cluttered UI which makes simple tasks difficult...get RN5P
Asus stock rom is the best...
Face unlock is faster on RN5P whereas FP sensor seems to be same...
One major plus point for Redmi note 5 pro
You can use it as a Heatpad if you have backache because it gets burning hot while charging..lol
Why having this discussion... Go for Redmi note 6 pro or wait for azmp m2

I looked in the forums and i realised that Max pro m1 is getting a lot of issues with the new update : Battery drain. Not my cup of tea.
I noticed you gave more cons on the note 5 pro than on Max pro m1, giving me the impression that you never ever tested a note 5 pro.
My friend who owns a note 5 pro doesn't have any of the issues given above. I agree that the software lags (it sometimes lags on 3gb ram version, 0 lag on 4gb ram).
I am sorry but your arguments are invalid here, but thanks for the opinion, i guess..
Also Note 5 pro has quite a full development range so the laggy software can be easily fixed with a custom rom.

All phones that don't have any kind of thermal cooling can heat. Adding thermal paste that is a higher grade (arctic mx-4) will solve any heat issues in the device, at the cost of more external cooling.
Both asus and redmi use the metal back and frame as a external heatsink. If you play without a case then it will ofc heat up.

Alright, so I need a phone and my main usage is playing PUBGm, watching content and since I'm on XDA, it would obviously mean that I would like to root it and boot it. I've got my eyes set on the ZMP 6gb variant for some time now but the upcoming RealMe 2 Pro has some really sweet specs. So should I get this or wait for it.

Check whether Realme 1 had got bootloader unlock and root within a reasonable time (if at all it did). It will give you a better perspective.
Grab the poco instead, I gave my 6gb zenfone to mom after I got poco and the difference is day and night, this phone has poor poor audio quality, wired or wireless and network though shows full has call drop issues which I don't get in poco in same place at home. Camera is pathetic on this phone unless you get gcam which is does not work flawlessly on 6gb version. Display is so dull compared to poco and don't even talk about performance. In short only place this phone really shine is 20% larger battery than poco but it has such poor slow charging rate that while playing pubg it won't charge single bit. In comparision you pay 6k more get excellent screen, stellar performance, way better audio quality and network coverage (poco supports 4g+) fast charging and way way better camera. Realme as owned by oppo does not allow to unlock bootloader. Not advertising poco but I love it so much I think anyone who is willing to spend 15k would be a fool to not spend 6k extra and get poco instead. Hope this helps.

If you want hassle free rooting and stuff then our device has it going already. I guess as someone already mentioned oppo maybe doesn't allow bootloader unlocking.
If you can stretch your budget then poco is a good buy for your requirements, if you don't mind the notch or miui.
akshmau5 said:

To me, that's the only major thing that this phone lags, people who say watching it in SD or HD is the same thing on such a small screen is just some BS. Watching Netflix and prime in HD is just amazing and I sorely miss it but I've moved to watch it on the laptop now since my laptop's screen is FHD so it takes advantage of FHD streaming. So yea there is no workaround as of now for streaming in HD or FHD. If one can live with streaming SD or have an option to stream somewhere else this is the phone for you. Hope this helps.

Wait
Wait . Dont hurry for the Zenfone . Its not that Zenfone is a bad phone but the Realme 2 Pro is going to shake the market as it is going be the most affordable phone with SD660 which is really nice processor for gaming and other stuff . If you play games like PUBG you must wait for it to arrive . The CEO of the Chinese Company has promised to deliver better experience at low price.
If you are in a hurry , go for Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB Variant or the Mi A2
Wait for realme 2 pro, dont go with poco phone, thats a buggy device and overall cheapest looks in this price segment
Wait for real me pro if you want color os or buy moto power one for stock rom and 2 update p and q

But if you want a phone for pubg then buy asus zenfone max pro m1 beacuse moto one power has a notch and very rounded corners which will cut some screen contents
And asus max m1 has 6gb ram in that price
Is the note a upgrade or downgrade from the le pro 3?
Personally I consider it a downgrade. Perhaps camera is better (although GCam in Le Pro 3 rocks) and lower and newer processor means better battery life, but in general terms it can't beat Le Pro 3.
A sidegrade at best. Better cam, better battery life, slower cpu, much worse GPU, worse build quality, worse connectivity (micro usb in 2018?!)

I've got a Mi 6x so basically the same phone. Again it's a sidegrade from the Le Pro3. It's not really that much different from the Redmi Note 6 really, it just has a slightly more powerful CPU and a smaller battery and USB-C.

Some youtube reviewer put the Le Pro 3 (with custom rom) up against the Redmi Note 5 Pro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Jj0mPyZTc
Surprisingly the S820 with UFS 2.0 storage couldn't beat the newer S636 with just slower EMMC, despite using a custom rom on the Leeco vs MIUI on the Redmi.
On top of that, the Redmi Notes have a microSD slot, 3.5mm headphone jack and a significantly better battery life. I've also not been able to get rid of the fluctuating cell signal strength and noticably high input lag on my Le Pro 3 (x722/Elite).
So unless you're into gaming, the Redmi is a better choice. The build quality is likely better on the Le Pro 3. But I'd go with the Pocophone or Mi 8 Lite atm, they're more expensive than the Redmi Note 5/6 but better value imho.

I agree.
The Rom was Pixel Experience June 2018 around the time that Gabronog was doing blind updates due to his phone being bricked or damaged. I was using that Rom around that time and although that Rom was great overall.
That time period wasn't the best of what the PIXEL rom could be. If I remember correctly in June 2018, AICP and Lineage were the best performers and Miui 9 had the best battery life.
I can say this with some confidence since I have kept a record of stats for all the Roms that I have used since early June 2018.
Hello...I'm looking for cheap phone with 3 GB ram. Currently confused between which of these two should I buy? Looking for best phone for media consumption, WhatsApp and calls. Nothing heavy like gaming etc.
I see that battery on m1 is pretty solid and os is close to stock Android but don't know much about service after warranty expires, in case if something goes wrong. This phone doesn't show adds like redmi right? Definitely don't need that.
Plus how long m1 custom ROM support will be available from devs. Thanks in advance.
The 3GB variant has terrible cameras. If you are not those who never shoot a photo, you should choose between 6GB Pro M1, 3GB Pro M2, or Redmi 6 Pro.
If u want better cameras then go for note 6 pro, if u don't use camera much then go for zenfone max pro m1 it's terribly priced now, value for money
Hello everyone,
I enjoy using VR apps on my phone from time to time.
Currently, I own a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kate) and a Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred), and I have to use the RN3 for VR, since the RN5 screen has somewhat a higher latency, which results in nausea and blurry image when moving my head.
I am wondering whether the Mi 9T/Redmi K20 screen offers a good experience for VR.
I know that usually OLED panels are associated with lower latencies, and less screen door effect, and that FHD resolution is not really high, but I was wondering if anyone has tested how Mi 9T/K20 performs in this regards, and is enjoable for really sporadic usage.
Thanks in advance!
im currently planning to buy a new phone, in my country one plus 8 pro is almost the same price of a s20 ultra, currently i have samsung active 2 and samsung galaxy buds plus, is there anybody here that come from s20 ultra or any s20 lineup and regret it?
Yes, I came from S20 ultra, then S20+ (for a 7-day free trial) then to Oneplus 8 Pro.
Both Samsung devices were running Exynos chipsets and were having poor battery life and getting hot pretty much all the time, even with almost no apps installed.
S20 ultra camera had big focusing issues, even with the latest updates applied.
I have NO regrets, SnapDragon 865 is just much better and Android OxygenOS is great!

Are u facing any display issues? Like green tint, image retention, burn in , black crush during low background? Any display uniformity? M planning to buy 8 pro in india.. but the display issues most of users are facing making me think not to buy... Plz rly
hi all,
I have S20Ultra since the begining. Then I bought Oneplus 8 Pro.
PROs for S20Ultra:
great display
flat display
one ui
96hz refresh rate
one handed mode
able to customise UI using Substratum, Sinergy or Hex without root
compatible with Disabler Pro to disable bloatware
CONs for S20Ultra:
exynos chipset which is terrible
quick heating up
autofocus issues
bad overall pictures and filming due to 108mp sensor not being optimised
bad HDR
no reliable face id
I used Disable Pro to disable bloatware and i managed to get a decent battery life of almost 7hrs SoT and a decent standby battery drain
PROs Oneplus8 Pro:
great display
120hz refresh rate
good battery life
option to install and use gcam
CONs Oneplus 8 Pro:
no one-hand mode
no 90hz display refresh rate lower rate
curved display
unable to customise UI using Substratum, Sinergy or Hex without root
notcompatible with Disabler Pro to disable bloatware
no reliable face id
bottom line:
if S20Ultra would have had a Snapdragon 865 chipset or a decent comparable Exynos one
if Samsung would care to give great camera experience
if 3d face id would be available
then i would buy Note 20+ or S20+ immediatelly
If Oneplus 8 Pro would fix 3x camera zoom pictures and video
if no curved display
if 3d face id would be available
then i will buy Oneplus 8 pro without to think

Tough one. The camera is better on the S20 ultra (not the auto-focus) but not by a big margin.
OxygenOS is so much better than Samsung UI 2.0 in my opinion, and I prefer the screen of my Oneplus 8 Pro than the one on S20 ultra.
The price difference is also a factor and it is close to stock android.
I think I would have still switched. I am just disappointed with Samsung (and I had all of them since before the S7)

None, but I have the IN2020 with the BA software, and my understanding is that they mostly are safe (I saw that in another forum).
I imported it from China with the Global EU rom on it already installed (the box was sealed, so it must have been a version for the EU?)
The screen is gorgeous, no black crush, no retention.

compatible with Disabler Pro to disable bloatware
CONs for S20Ultra:
exynos chipset which is terrible
quick heating up
autofocus issues
bad overall pictures and filming due to 108mp sensor not being optimised
bad HDR
no reliable face id
I used Disable Pro to disable bloatware and i managed to get a decent battery life of almost 7hrs SoT and a decent standby battery drain
PROs Oneplus8 Pro:
great display
120hz refresh rate
good battery life
option to install and use gcam
CONs Oneplus 8 Pro:
no one-hand mode
no 90hz display refresh rate lower rate
curved display
unable to customise UI using Substratum, Sinergy or Hex without root
notcompatible with Disabler Pro to disable bloatware
no reliable face id
bottom line:
if S20Ultra would have had a Snapdragon 865 chipset or a decent comparable Exynos one
if Samsung would care to give great camera experience
if 3d face id would be available
then i would buy Note 20+ or S20+ immediatelly
If Oneplus 8 Pro would fix 3x camera zoom pictures and video
if no curved display
if 3d face id would be available
then i will buy Oneplus 8 pro without to think

Excellent analysis! So true!
OnePlus 8 pro compared to S20 Ultra has a gorgeous display with the crisp clarity of the details. The OnePlus8 Pro comes with DisplayA+ rated
I've been seen so many issues on this xda forum for this phone that its getting me thinking to keep the s20 ultra, overheat issues, besides the screen issues, sadly because I really like it, but with no official support in my Country,that would be a high risk, better scenario should be to send the phone to US / Texas and would be a hassle...

hi,
if using with playstore what notifications issues? meaning for which applications you don;t get notifications?
and what means aurora store with google but playstore won't work?
Keeping it short.
Ordered the s20 ultra, didn't turn up re: covid.
Cancelled it.
Ordered OnePlus 8 Pro.
Heard so much awful news about the lacklustre ultra is definitely a bullet dodged, especially the Exynos turd.

yep i had an s20 ultra at launch exynos version experience was really bad drain of battery even of standby is almost the same as you are using it i sold it after 10 days of use. reason im trying to reconsider the exynos version is have no choice thats my country available option only is that they may have an updates that would make the exynos likeable again

there is some notifications you dont receive like youtube gmail etc but there is work arounds but that is if you want to use mainly playstore,
if you want all your push notifications working then the alternative way is using aurora store and disabling playstore
