The new Mi VR headset which was announced 2 days ago only supports the Mi Note 2 and the Mi 5, not the Mi Max!
I was really disappointed by this. I have been struggling to find a VR headset for the 6.44" Mi Max. Most either don't fit the phone at all or crop the visible area to around 5" making the extra large screen useless. Why on earth would Xiaomi launch a new headset for current models and not include this one? Even their previous really basic VR Play headset supported it!

I just opened a thread which might be interesting and give us a 'workaround' for non officially supported devices...

Title says it all. Tell me about each device (it's pros and cons) and which should i buy. Price is not a issue (between this phones i mean.). Thank you :fingers-crossed:
Please don't start a war between these 2 phones as i want real reasons.
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

Stock, non rooted. With airtel 4g. Mobile data.
I never had heating issue with any mi phone (redmi note 3, 4x,5pro, max2) .
Android Q ? First Asus try to give Pie.

Note 6 pro looks good but after i tested it in the store with my friend's Note 5 pro, i realised that Note 6 pro is just Note 5 pro with a notch.

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.
Hi
This community has helped me a lot I am currently using the nokia camera app.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/themes/app-root-risking-totry-nokia-camera-t3799052
But the manual focus don't work in video mode. I have used filmic pro in Samsung on nxt (3gb) but no luck on max pro m1 can someone please make filmic pro port for our model
Asus said they will try to do something then said the have contacted app developer .
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/ph/thread-259790-1-1.html
App developer might never respond as the phone is full of bugs...
Any alternative with manual focusing while recording will also work.
hi.
u need to enable camera2API on your asus m1. hope this step will help u.
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
Asus zenfone max pro m2 is packed with an imx486 sony sensor and Snapdragon 660 same as MI A2. Mi A2 has 32-sec shutter speed then it makes complete sense that Zenfone max pro m2 can also achieve that. Even a developer developed a mod for note 5 pro which has the same camera sensor as of ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M2. I request all the module makers to help us in making our phone better.
I am new that's why I'm not being able to put up links for libmmcamera files.

well it is not available for our phone as no one knows how to edit shared object(.so) files in asus zenfone max pro m2 development enviroment...so it is useless to make a poll and useless to expect also...there is only one vote ig that shows no one is ready to take this....
i have tried my best to ask defcomg who knows how to edit libs.(i pm him but no reply)
even i know how to disasseble and reassemble but issue is i cant find a method edit them as our phone camera uses camerahw lib. then libactuator 486 lib and other than that lib. every camera lib is useless
