Hi bro you also do the comparison but for a change check with Google camera please please

[@framedropgaming3060]

CreatorShed ya I was thinking the same lol 😂

[@GaganKP]

😆

[@mahangasingh6392]

CreatorShed I was going to comment the same , you stole my comment :p

[@midhungopan9270]

Camera segment redmi note 5 pro....but i have to say asus is more bang for buck because of dedicated sd card and lil bit better batterylife and amlost stock android,and got a really good display

[@vikranttomarfitness5949]

I make each choice on point. Good improvement in cameras by Asus. Great one Ash.

[@yanchu3229]

4:29.....Damn I got it all right 😬

[@keshavpatel8548]

We hope Zenfone improves its algorithm and pushes required updates for improvement.

[@roys3853]

hello ash with gcam installed on both redmi note 5 pro and asus m1 6gb variant which one has better camera results espl front camera and how is both cameras low light performance with gcam installed . hope to hear from you soon and whats your pick at 13k in flipkart bbd sale and which colour look premium in asus and redmi 5 pro

[@Nitzzie390]

Big display massive battery smartphone! Redmi Note 5 pro compititior🔥🔥

[@nitinjain2091]

Got all correct! Note 5 pro damn superior Btw comment written from Note 5 pro too

[@pavniverma1816]

The "Honest" word 😂😂😂😂😂

[@subharthisarkar3522]

can the situation change with other camera apps for Asus (this 6gb variant)....like open camera or other...pls answer ash

[@bhushankale3544]

5:35 where did note 5 pros video gone??

[@abhishekbisht905]

Man At Arms probably mistake in editing.

[@allamarselvan6570]

As note 5 pro doesn't support 4k ,the video was absent.

[@abhishekbisht905]

Allamar Selvan that doesn't make sense.

[@abhijitksr1kr]

Abhishek Bisht the missing video is given through 'i' button.

[@ShaggyScooby]

[@ShaggyScooby]

C. R7 take your time 👍

[@krishnah.4013]

Sagar Ramane : bro hear it again ....

[@adhul7710]

Asus was my pick except the last one

[@ankitshah9457]

Much awaited video is here. Nice video style. Both phones are close in camera department, it's matter of personal preference.

[@DKNex]

Please reply c4etech , do ZenFone max pro M1 has a full control pro mode??

[@Torified-]

*What about a Speedtest between both?*

[@govindpal4813]

Prateek in speedtest max pro wins

[@BlazVeber69]

Stock Android Vs. MIUI

[@arjunnava]

Maxpro will win not because it has 6gb ram, but because it has more ram when speedtest software needs it... even booting times for max pro is 1-2 seconds ahead of redmi note 5 in many cases.

[@avaneeshtiwari7624]

1:00 achived nirvana

[@KUNJANPATIL16]

Got all correct. In the last comparison (5:08) "RO" from Redmi Note 5 Pro was visible in the bottom left corner of the image.

[@sanoj325]

This is a great review. I have heard that sent one has been providing regular updates to improve their device, so if you get any updates for the 6gb version and if the camera gets improved would you do a comparison video again?

[@teenmafia3644]

Sideload mi camera on zenfone is the verdict

[@ranjithkumars5282]

super camera😘😘 at max pro 6gb

[@ChaitanyaAtre1096]

RN5 looks good very good

[@antonyjose9254]

Nice work with honest opinion as usual and by the way have you used the note 5 Pro with the latest update for this comparison?

[@toramneskog8932]

I really like that you put the specs in the description, so I don't have to look it up. Keep up the good work👍👍

[@prashantsrivastava8451]

In blind test i am choosing all the pic from mi shot i think RN 5pro is best camera as compared as zen max

[@shrikantdhadankar9353]

I m at better person already bro #funnyash

[@lifeatjay9240]

Waiting long for a video like this. Tanks ash

[@redmarkreport3979]

Sir please answer , is screen gaurd of note 5 pro is fit for max pro m1 ?

[@jaibirsingh8769]

#Ash u r 1 of the best tech reviewer on KZbin Good work keep it up 🤘🏼👍🏻

[@bandhanjha8563]

Do you think that added ram is gonna make any difference ?

[@adityapshetty8653]

Bandhan Jha not for now but future proof I guess,if you're gonna use micro USB

[@abhisheknegi8279]

Shadow Ninja nobody is gonna use their phone for more than 3-4 years

[@arjunnava]

Yes. Here's the reason why.. Whenever your mobile starts to use up a certain amount of ram, the software will tr to clean up as much ram as possible so that the mobile does not end up crashing or hanging due to insufficient ram. Since max pro has higher ram, ram management software have an easier time than in redmi note 5 even if your using mid-high software (none of which need anywhere above 4gb as of now).. So YES, max pro higher ram makes a difference..

[@mrcriticsable]

is the camera hardware on the 6gb ram variant is the same as the 4gb variant? since i got myself the 4/64 ver and the stock Qualcomm cam is relatively disappointing tbh, definitely not as good as the one taken on this vid's m1 6gb...or isit due to my own skills.... 🤔 p/s:tho 3rd party cam app gives an absolutely mind-blowing result. the only thing is it lacked bokeh mode. so ive been using default cam for selfie/portrait and Open Camera for other type of pic like scenery and low light

[@rajeshsivakumar6068]

Very useful video. Thanks Bro

[@IntrigueKK]

Best is zenfone

[@techthrives1355]

If software is the culprit on Max then use Google Cam apk you will get better result.

[@arjunnava]

Actually, google cam apk is by far one of the worst ive used... stock apps suck. Samsung cam apps and miui cam apps are good

[@techthrives1355]

Arjun i see difference in image quality.

[@arjunnava]

PRADEEP KUMAR oh.. don't get me wrong, there will be difference for zenphone users. After using Samsung based camera apps on previous phones I owned, I find basic Google camera app to be horrible in comparison to that

[@techthrives1355]

Arjun Dude there will be difference in image quality comparison with the stock camera it's applicable for all mobile devices you can't see too many difference on the morning shots but in the night the Google camera will reduce the shutter speed upto 1/2 than the stock camera of 1/11 and the iso is lesser on gcam this is the difference i found on my Redmi Note 4.

[@arjunnava]

PRADEEP KUMAR Agree to an extent since your comparing Redmi Note 4 alone while I've been comparing Redmi Note 4, 3, Redmi 2, Samsung Galaxy S2, 3, 4, Ivoomi, 10 or D, etc. etc. and am giving a collective feedback. Google cam apk is a raw camera app that is not tailored for specific mobiles... This means that in a few you may get a good deal using the Google cam (seems zenphone max pro M1 is one of these models) when you have good hardware specs but weak stock cam apps. However, in others, images are mostly pixelated using google apk. Also, shutter speeds are faster but image stabilization is weaker as well software wise. In the end, its up to you. Daylight images are usually pixelated using google cam app because of weaker image stabilization, however, for phones like Max pro M1 with good specs but even mediocre cam software, its a better choice than stock cam.

[@Ajyou10]

Is the finger print scanner changed?? Was slow in the 4gb zmp

[@kartikmahajan620]

by sortware does he mean the camera app or the entire os?

[@duttatreyadutta]

Not i got it, it is nowhere close to even rn5pro. The images on the rn5 pro is way too superior for my liking. Crappy software asus!

[@AKASH-ue7mh]

I choose mi my choice is fully mi

[@ankush_710]

Was wanting such a comparison.....always a step ahead ......#love c4etech

[@sisir360]

When did the 6 gig variant come out? I got my mom a 4 gig one just a week ago!😶

[@PrasantaGiri1MR]

My pick redmi note 5 pro 👍👍 Still the best

[@ajaridrishi8627]

Redmi not 5 pro 👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@3005santho]

What about the lag in FP scanner bro...? Is there any difference???

[@mehendialishah]

Hey Ash, At 5:35 there is no video footage of Redmi Note 5 pro. I can just see the right side video of Asus ZenFone. The left half is Blank. Have you noticed it?

[@jagadesha9054]

Note 5 pro

[@ImAbhirajk]

That's Thumbnail Is Dope🔥!!. Best Comparison Video Is Finally Here 👌!!.

[@karthikgnskasi6196]

Hey @Ash, don't you think the camera on the note 5 pro took a hit after the update from nougat to oreo..? Especially in image clarity, sharpness..? They entirely ruined the camera. Can you comapre note 5 pro with nougat & note 5 pro with oreo...? Pls..? 😊

[@PuranKathaOfficial]

sir. look like you are a finn balor fan... That Balor Club Tshirt!

[@tirthpatel6386]

Redmi Note 5 pro...!! ♥️

[@krishnasagar4514]

Redmi Note 5 Pro 💜😘👍

[@Sharmasonu93]

This video is helpful for the peoples looking tonbuy a budget smartphone and are confused b/w note 5 pro and max pro...

[@ulaganath]

Did they change WIFI chipset or just camera and RAM upgrade. For 2k its good 2gb ram double front cam and rear bump. But still WIFI chipset lags behind.

[@vignesh3708]

KhoतAman try installing Google Camera on ZenFone the lower variants also didn't perform well in Stock camera

[@amankhot11]

[@techygirl5162]

Saurabh Kumar he not doing unboxing

[@notaverage4952]

He doesn't have the Mi A2.

[@techygirl5162]

Saurabh Kumar so thats why i comment

[@KrishnakantMestry]

Is it ok to install google camera setup on zenfone max pro?. Show your opinion

[@PlayWithProNoob-pu5vr]

hope eege detection should be fix on updates...what u say?

[@rampratheesh3874]

Redmi still the beast

[@arjunnava]

Wrong... Asus wins overall.. redmi only slightly better in camera department. Plus I really hate the MIUI interface, so max pro is a plus for me

[@rampratheesh3874]

Arjun do u know,xiaomi has eis

[@arjunnava]

So? A mobile with much higher specs can outdo this... Image stabilization is good only for shaky hands.. Mobiles have still not entered the realm of pro DSLRs or Speedcapture cameras for EIS to be a major thing

[@rampratheesh3874]

Arjun Do u know,asus won't give any updates further,my brother bought asus zenfone 5z ,just few drops of water falls on the phone,the display repaired,for a flagship even they can't manage,how u will say in midrange

[@arjunnava]

Ram Pratheesh I had the same issue when I bought a Samsung galaxy series at its introduction... so are you going to tell everyone the galaxy series models are a waste of time?... I want you to understand this point below RULES ARE RULES. Your service center will not and should not provide free service for ruined screen or waterlogged keys.. it is clearly stated in the 'not covered under warranty'. If another service center did free service for you on other brands, then thats illegal and its because of corrupt people that this is being done behind the company's back. There are buy back guarantees and mobile protection plans offered by some companies that help protect against screen damage etc. If you want it, buy it.. stop blaming service centers for doing their job properly. I can understand if they did poor service, not social service though....

[@aldrinseanpereira140]

Redmi wins . Hands down.

[@raghukashyap3405]

Which update do u use in redmi note 5 pro on shoot

[@priyankkumar5782]

Is Asus going to improve camera with updates? Is RN5 Pro's camera better enough to trade stock android for that ?

[@SumitYourSubscriber]

Redmi Note 5 Pro has better camera 😳

[@cookieplays698]

But it doesn't support asphalt 9

[@sameerramdasi88]

Kaun bola prince lokesh sabhi game chalts hai

[@prabagaranv198]

Max pro best

[@snehitsingh1583]

redmi note5pro >>>>>asus pro m1

[@alienxthemostpowerfulficti2888]

Review Tips in terms of cam only

[@adhul7710]

Asus is still working in its camera, so it would not be the final result. But as of now redmi is Superior ONLY in terms of its software processing, hardware is still better in max pro.

[@aryanaryan9282]

Only in edge detection

[@rushitanpure]

Baek pyeong hwa only cera lol wait for miui 10 It ill kill stalk Android

[@imerence6290]

You will get the same results if you just increase the contrast of the asus images. Asus just choose to go with a more natural looking(in terms of colour) images.

[@techoash]

hey bro loving your new video style...

[@shibin.joseph]

Could Asus perform better if we use some other camera app? For instance the Moment app?

[@MrRavibains]

Very gud video... I was thinking of buying today asus zenfone as i am using zenfone 2 laser since 3 years but now I feel lets give a shot on MIUI which i skipped last time when I had choice between asus zenfone 2 laser and MI4I. Although Asus zenfone 2 laser is still working great with me. Thanks Ash, your viewr since you made first video on Samsung bad cancellation policy highlighted by geekyranjit... Yeahh, watching geekyranjiy since 2012 :P

[@MrRavibains]

Only two are professional rest all are commercial

[@SyedKashani]

Are u using 6 gb version of rn 5 pro also????

[@kalaiarasan716]

Bro can OnePlus 6 upgrade the update AI mode in the future.......can plsz u tell me bro

[@pradipkumarsingh5166]

That thing you did by letting us choose one of the image and then showinh which phone it belongs to, was very unique and awesome. That really helped me choose the device I need. 😌

[@svstudioworld2598]

Yes I want this comparison and good comparison ash.

[@sohaibfarooqui12]

Superb comparison bro... Just loved it..🖒🖒

[@randeepam3983]

Can you tell us about the camera sensors in zenfone max pro 6 GB.? Is it sony IMX?

[@utsavrocks100]

Do they have a manual mode too ?

[@soumyadeepmondal6130]

Now I'm confused. Geekyranjit's Camera comparison picked Zenfone's camera as better over Rn5pro with the exception of video because no EIS but C4etech picks the Rn5pro as the better camera. So much confusion

[@WeonSHORTS]

Super bro u hair style, I don't know what phone to take

[@samusmart8245]

Which miui version you tested

[@qqShiiqq]

Hi Ash, do you mind do a comparison videos between Asus zenfone Max Pro 6GB vs Xiaomi MiA2 6Gb variant?

[@gtdhrvs]

#Ash #C4ETech, Was eagerly waiting for this camera comparison. You are the only tech channel which I find most logical and describes technical issues in detail.

[@safiquddinkhan]

Native video calling supported or not?

[@vishalreddy6586]

Is Redmi note 5 pro having any sort of heating issue If yes what's its max temperature

[@preetham4464]

[@MrAbhilash02]

I am confused between the two which one should I buy???

[@subhashsrivastav5190]

EIS & gorilla glass yes or no In Asus

[@Nawin_Kumar]

U are awesome bro posting the videos before we need 😍😍

[@rajdeepparab]

Was Waiting for this

[@sankalpverma618]

What about using gcam on both then which is better

[@DennisCNLew]

[@RIJINJOSE]

Does asus get any EIS After update?

[@srikanth8860]
