Excellent phone review video, Alex! You are a master of budget phone reviews! 👍🔥 Thank you for the info. 🙏

[@atashabreymel]

Hello,. what is better Zefone Max Plus M1 or Xiaomi Redmi S2.. Thanks

[@brilliantradience]

I can't remember who posted the video but can u recommend a dual stereo speaker phone in the US $250 or below range?. It was something like a Blu, Leagoo, Umidigi etc.

[@bentrillanestv5363]

hi alex. can you please help. my zenfone plus doesnt sleep on screen time out. but it works fine when i plug the charger. bought this fone 2 months ago pls help

[@Eevnos]

Another great review of a budget phone! You always have a great level of details in your review man and that really helps when deciding what phones to buy!

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for watching once again man!

[@abghere]

Alex, thanks for another great in depth review! I might have miss it from the video, can the SD card be formatted as internal storage to expand the 32 GB?

[@RedskullPro]

hey, I included that later in the video, not in the usual spot :) It cannot be used as internal storage

[@genreality1184]

Hi! How do you deal with cell standby draining battery? 16+ hours drains 2700+ mah. Cell standby is not active when charging and using mobile data. Is this normal? Also, if I increase the brightness, it starts to heat up. It doesn't heat up when I turn on mobile data and play youtube videos for hours. How do i solve this issue?

[@djsamtt12]

Hi Alex. Your presentation is soo good. Well done as always.

[@RedskullPro]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@Yoskqbeats]

Alex ! @ 4:15 😍😍😍😍😍 You already have the note 5 👏👏 Yahoooo !

[@TimPearcy]

Nicely done and the whole time I was thinking, the Nuu G3 is the better deal at this price! Keep up the great work!

[@RedskullPro]

That's exactly what I said at the end :) I was think the same thing while I was recording

[@Dan-tp6nl]

Thanks for checking it out! Appreciated!

[@soloposmenu]

Hello Alex, at 7:35 you mentioned that there is no Dual Band WiFi, but at 7:50 you got the speeds for Dual Band, please let me know.

[@RedskullPro]

hi, no dual band wifi, what you've seen were the speeds over my 2.4Ghz wifi and 4G (i use a mesh wifi system)

[@zymondlibago3793]

How to off the privacy protection of video? I cant find the shared videos on my cellphone in gallery pls reply

[@RedskullPro]

I honestly don't even know what you are referring to... 😞

[@emiel333]

Great review. You got a new subscriber now. I have an older Asus, the Zenfone 3. I like the Zen UI, but as you mentioned it is very heavy on top of Android. My Zenfone has a Snapdragon SoC, which I prefer above MediaTek. A couple months ago I was interested to buy this m1. After the MWC, I should rather save some money and buy the Asus Zenfone 5Z. It's an interesting high performing device (Snapdragon 845, Adreno 630) with a medium range price tag. I'm looking forward if you can do a review about the 5Z in the nearby future. Greetings, Emiel.

[@RedskullPro]

The Zenfone 5Z is the way to go indeed! Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!

[@emiel333]

Redskull You're welcome, and thanks for responding regarding the Zenfone 5Z!

[@vishalgiri5166]

that's a cool budget device, awesome video bro!!

[@RedskullPro]

The indian max Pro variant is way better :)

[@darrellgilmore1656]

[@AuntyM66]

[@djpu21]

[@RedskullPro]

no it doesn't

[@djpu21]

Redskull thanks for the revert, but does it support call recording from both parties via third party app?..as in moto it doesn't. so i need this specifically for call recording.

[@RedskullPro]

I never tried any 3rd party app, I cannot confirm and I don't have the phone anymore

[@zaltall7099]

Comment flasher asus sur pc

[@methanoid]

Ah Mediatek.. why didnt they send you the Snapdragon version so you could compare the RN5 (China) vs the better Zenfone

[@RedskullPro]

Probably because I am in North America... here we don't get the cool version :)

[@hafizapiz6687]

Great budget phone but the Asus Zenfone Max pro M1 asian Variant is better than this phone..your review always great..AWESOME ALEX..👍👍👍

[@BlazVeber69]

Review Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) please, and provide some links to buy. Thanks.

[@RedskullPro]

If I get my hands on it I will...for now it's only available in India

[@BlazVeber69]

I know you will and I hope it'll be a 6GB version. Thanks.

[@amberlois2136]

[@RedskullPro]

[@mogulpaniraj4907]

Waiting for a pro battle. Redmi note 5 pro vs Asus pro(this model) Is it a different model of Asus?? Because Max pro is 5000mAh

[@RedskullPro]

[@macky99]

[@RedskullPro]

[@nikonikobbs]

Yes that is true, I have that phone and its still alive!

[@DVZNMedia]

[@valcineyconceicao3991]

Redmi Note 5 is better

[@realDoxa]

DVZN Media no its asus zenphone max plus M1

[@Yoskqbeats]

Camera is the judging point.. (Edit) Oopps I thought this is the m1pro.. A a i thought we had it all 🎶🎶

[@benyakoubov412]

VilBear the redmi note 5 has a wayyy better CPU and GPU and slimmer bezels so the redmi note 5 is better.

[@rainyd4293]

Never zenfone. Never. But good thing no silly notch.

[@pashaboss6]

Wtf the geekbench results cant be true man I've seen them on many different sites..it's about 600 for the single core and 2500 ish for multi..please recheck your results man

[@RedskullPro]

this is not the indian version

[@alucardpat3619]

Asus i love this company ,really premium products,not payed to say haha.

[@cyrussantos9425]

[@lordsgate7774]

AreshAMG it acts like have 3000 battery, not 4150

[@reverseattack555]

Someone please give this phone an oskar award for those bezels 😂😂

[@RedskullPro]

haha!

[@ley6773]

Asus zenfone max plus or oppo a83

[@RedskullPro]

haven't tried that oppo

[@jojimat9]

Zenfone Max Pro M1 is better deal with SD636 & 5000mah battery, price starts from 165 $ for 3GB varient and 192 $ for 4GB . i think it's only available in India for now. I try to get one unit but it's in flash sale and it's sucks . It's a good competitor to Redmi note 5 Pro .they are almost identical in specs ,redmi's camera is better. But Asus gonna launch 6GB variant for Max Pro M1 in next month with different sensor i think a 16MP on both front and back.

[@RedskullPro]

it is way better but not available in North America :(

[@jojimat9]

Redskull ,Oppo is also launch it's first sub brand Realme 1 with P60 in India, an Amazon India exclusive. launched with an aggressive pricing..

[@manny4833]

Is it global or it only works in India?

[@aresh_2110]

Wht snapdragon is this?

[@RedskullPro]

this isn't using a snapdragon cpu

[@aresh_2110]

Redskull oh ok but is it a good phone to get

[@aresh_2110]

Plus i dont knw alot abt the cpu stuff so like sorry if i soundd a bit dumb lol im not exactly good with phones

[@bj-gt4yy]

Redskull is mediatek good?

[@rajapadala9399]

👌 👌

[@maryliwanag2872]

Yes i bought this phone if you bought it you will not be disappointed because you bought the not expensive and also it is nice

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maryliwanag2872]

@@RedskullPro oh yeah well its true

[@methanoid]

WTF? No installation to SD card... fail.... Lineage should fix that ;-)

[@RedskullPro]

yeah... about a million other phones better than this one

[@williamhart4896]

Still on their game then ASUS markets good budget Android devices . Prefer their midrange myself can't afford the top of line models

[@RedskullPro]

mid-range phones are getting super good lately

[@raedes5308]

ماذا عن جودة الصناعة ماترتيب شركة أسوس في صناعة الموبايلات بالعالم؟

[@RedskullPro]

like any other company

[@manisharora2102]

In india, asus zenfone max pro M1 is the best phone even better than redmi note 5 pro not in terms of camera but definitely the price and others specs are super cool

[@RedskullPro]

yeah, here in North America we didn't get that :(

[@manisharora2102]

Redskull well if you really want it you can import it

[@Chemy.]

Asus Is a great brand but looks like this is not their masterpiece lol. A lot of things that can be done to improve it. Nice video man

[@aresh_2110]

Chemy Torres There masterpiece is the zenfone 5 we bought it fot my grandma and it is sooo good shes loving it sooo much plus... SHE CAN USE IT AND IS NOT OLD

[@vishalagrawal8717]

In India Asus Zenfone max pro M1 come with SD 636 dual camera, true dual 4g volte support, triple card support and many good features which cost only $160, this phone gives tough competition to Redmi note 5pro in India.......

[@RedskullPro]

yeah, in North America ....no :)

[@connorneo1124]

This is a different phone I think, Malaysia has both the Max Plus and the Max Pro

[@vishalagrawal8717]

Onix Navarro hmm I understand....

[@PawanKumar-mv2xv]

Xiaomi Redmi 5 pro vs Asus m1 .

[@RedskullPro]

I have something better

[@IanIvey]

And my helio x20, that has double the score on antutu, with 4gb ram 64bg rom, cant run pubg on lowest settings and lowest resolution...

[@RedskullPro]

no way! I wasn't expecting that! This was on the lowest settings

[@IanIvey]

yea, as soon as it gets a little warm, around 5 mins of gameplay, the two high speed cores shut down completely, so you are basicly left with octa-core running at like 1.3-1.4ghz. Its redmi note 4x btw. :)

[@armanradji]

I have and I am not satisfied with it

[@RedskullPro]

Good to know

[@omemester6985]

They should have gone with the sd625 and stock Android and the design isn't attractive tbh. Bad decisions everywhere.

[@RedskullPro]

agreed, this could have been so much better

[@ChunkyChest]

I know where those pics where taken xDD

[@RedskullPro]

where?

[@davidjym]

Most people do/should not have that many apps opened at the same time!!!

[@RedskullPro]

Why not? Everyone uses their phones differently

[@davidjym]

True, that means this phone is not for them.

[@MrCool061]

[@tedhomer3712]

Very fast drain battery

Another MTK 6750T 😑 device They surely love that chipset very much I guess .😏

[@RedskullPro]

it must be free or something like that!

[@subodhnagrale5268]

Redskull it must be that or companies can't get enough of it's performance 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Decent yet not best

Stop complaining about non stock android. Stock android sucks.

[@nikonikobbs]

It depends on the owner exactly on how you use it. Mine's still alive after 3 years and I'm using it right now while typing this. I don't have any problems while using the phone. This is my first phone ever btw. The only thing I didn't like is the camera, it gets blurry.

[@nikonikobbs]

@@RedskullPro Please see me comment above, that's my experience with this phone!

[@CryptoIgnition]

Still using it as my secondary phone now 😂
