i hate stock android look
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] ankit3006:
It's my first time using stock android. Missing some customisations from my previous phone.

But it's just been 2 days with the phone. I'd rather be open to the change. So far the performance of the device is good.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] mohdsajeed:
i purchased this phone for specifications have not used stock android feeling boring wating for twrp and custom roms i would love if some give dots os for it very nice rom using in my redmi note 4
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] binyahya14:
stock android is good for performance. but for appearance and skin is boring
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Loki_Lau:
If you don't like the stock android experience just use a launcher to change the look.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] k2m2_01:
I don't like how the icon selection forces us to use 4 shapes that isn't compatible with all apps. Like if Circle is selected, some apps will have their icons encircled if it's not round by a bit while if we choose Square, the naturally round icons will look weird.

Then there's the wallpaper selection and settings. Not really great when you want to use a wide or square type of image for the two-three home scroll-able pages and not being able to select which one should be the home button. 3rd party apps have a hard time to apply the wallpaper due to the strictly stock settings.

Then there's the UI font size which affects the notifications tab and the hiding of the notch display.

I'd love MIUI on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. Ofcourse a stable port based on stable release of original Miui.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] charlieA4:
Bruh buy a Redmi phone then,nobody likes miui except u
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] kickyvivi:
Ehm well i prefer to watch ads on tv.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Atif Raini:
Zen Ui would be great on zenfone max pro m2 as it offers customization too like themes and would more appealing then miui as its an Asus phone
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] kickyvivi:
ZenUI is ****. It was laggy and with updates it gets worse. And for themes oreo support rootless substratum theming.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] b00gieMan_droid:
Why would custom roms have ads?:confused:

Even custom roms on official miui roms don't have ads.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Atif Raini:
Well not everybody likes substratum , theme engine of miui is better than substratum

Zen ui may had been laggy or buggy but trying it out would be great and through constant updates that problem too can be resolved

More over stock android kind of skip out on customisation and features
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Prabhat69:
Stock is lob I'll gibb it 10 out 10

No question in that....

Miui is tatti
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] alpha tester:
The stock Android is awesome but after using the device for the second day suddenly all my background was hidden and I have to go to safe mode and close all those background apps and Asus said it's due to a bug apart from that Google apps work very well with stock Android....#

Thumbs up...#

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] sanctitude888:
I must say I tend to agree, Miui is overrated, it has intrusive ads in its stock apps, settings are very complicated even disabling apps feature is unavailable. As for customization, well, it's android, depends on how you handle it.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] VIVEK.THAKUR:
Its light but lacks too many common features.:crying:
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] RaipurBoy:
Mi. X. Launcher with redmi note7 stock wallpaper
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] RaipurBoy:
Simpler dialer with colour themes better than stock dialer
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] RaipurBoy:
Beautiful...
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] RaipurBoy:
For now..
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] kayamokid:
Stock android is <3
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Prabhat69:
Brother stock Android is way better

Custom skins lacks core Android features like colour os hadn't pattern passcode..miui hadn't changed looks same as its 1st edition.

So stock=10 out of 10:victory:
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] reverseflash⚡⚡:
Oreo was really snappy and good, but after pie update, the phone has become quite laggy. Also, lookwise, it's just the worst.

Colour contrast on its LCD is really good, no complaints on that. Compared to other phones, the blacks are really good, given that other phones with which the comparision is made didn't have OLED panel. For me, it is quite good.

Call quality is below average
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Zulfi:
Actually very poor call quality!
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] ankit3006:
Call quality is good.

I am using Airtel. Disable the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" option in call settings. That does the trick for me.

I had call quality issue in my previous phone as well where everyone was complaining that my voice is not clear. On the other hand I could hear them loud and clear. Upon playing around with some settings, I found that disabling the voice over LTE option solved the problem. Same thing happened when I bought this new phone and I remembered this. It is supposed to make the call quality better with HD calls but somehow it makes it bad.. ?

Goto Settings> Network & Internet> Mobile Network> Advanced> "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode"

Disable this option and try calling your friends. Hope this helps.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Zulfi:
Are you kidding? Without VoLET how can you call from 4G Sim?
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] ankit3006:
You are right. But try it man.

When you place a call, the network will switch to 3G/2G based on the coverage in the area. The network will show "H" or something. And just like the old times, your internet will not work, or will be very slow while you are on a phone call.

Also, this wont work for Jio users most probably, because they are a LTE only network. But other providers like Airtel, Voda, Idea have voice call support from legacy infrastructure. Maybe it's an issue with the network providers or these mid range phones support for VoLTE calls. Don't know..
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Zulfi:
Okay, I have only Jio Sim, I am not able to call without VoLTE.

Thanks
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] ankit3006:
Hmm.. wont work for Jio..

Anyways, you're welcome man. Maybe others can benefit from this.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] f4vr:
Issue with the call is when using the speaker. The other end is hearing echo of their voice. The issue exists also on other zenfones. Not sure if there is a workaround on this.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Divyansh0:
The call quality is good but when answering the call using earphones, the other party is not able to hear the voice clearly. Does some else have the same issue, or is it earphone's problem.

Auto reconnection cannot be disabled which leads to

frequent switching between two known wifi s automatically .its connecting to one with better range . why ? and signal reception is okay not excentllent like huawei devices
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] quasarswastik:
WiFi performance is acceptable though I have to agree that I hate the fact that it does not have dual band WiFi so no 5GHz (ac) band. On a 50 Mbps WiFi connection with 50% signal strength, I am able to get about 35 Mbps.

still not sure if India's 3GB/32GB has NFC.. Anyone knows for sure?
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] kickyvivi:
It does not.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] haltoy:
you have that same model?

****, i thought i've got me an allrounder with everything for a reasonable price.. it seems i should have waited for xiaomi A3 instead. ?
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] kickyvivi:
NFC is not that widely used in India. And we have to consider the price segment.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] haltoy:
well, sony had nfc in this segment already with M2 model, even before the fingerprint scanner, and that was somewhat too soon. now, with probably all SOC supporting it, they should just put a small antenna in it, that's not such an expense.

Xiaomi is preparing MiPay for India with NFC use, probably GooglePay is also interested.

Oh well, I'll try to cancel my order..

(are you with Asus India, or do you have that same phone? gsmarena is saying yes to nfc, but it's a different phone code, another specs site says yes, on flipkart one buyer said yes, another no, asusindia not responding on social media about this, ..)
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Prabhat69:
I'll give it 3.5 out of 5

Nice all-rounder

Go for this if u want a big battery

Otherwise go for mia2 or w8 for A3:o

Lot of distortion but sound is too damn loud,I am satisfied for the price
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Shantanu:
Very loud with very noticeable distortion, which is understandable considering it is so loud.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] ankit3006:
The speaker is loud and does its job. Looses the quality on high volume. But you can hear the audio just fine.

Max Pro M2 Audio Quality

Guys,

I have bought the phone recently, and disappointed with the audio through loudspeaker and headset. It doesn't have pleasing audio coming out with proper bass or treble via speaker. It sounds hollow and keeps shuffling with highs and lows. Anyone experiencing this weird issue or should I place an replacement?

Regards

Dinesh
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] learnyee:
it was freaking loud, which makes the output distorted.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] Loki_Lau:
The Clarity is a bit weak just an OK level speaker
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Real Life Review] quasarswastik:
Audio from the sound from speakers is loud. It is not very clear at high volumes. After about 70% volume, it does not get any louder, only the noise in audio increases.

Asus Dolby equalizer provided by XDA member Dhairy does improve the quality, with more depth in audio and a bit better bass imo.
