Ash just using this phone for past two days, enjoy using it... Good mobile worth for money... Thanks for your valuable reviews !!!

[@sarthak.30]

Watching this on my pro m2. Completely recommend over note 5 pro and 2 pro just based on that giant battery and stock Android. If you're wondering about pubg, runs at hd, high, and anti aliasing on very smoothly . That battery helped me get through a 17 hour day with loads of pubg and 4K shooting and still left me with 15% charge. It charges about 15% in 20 mins and i don't consider it slow at all considering that giant battery. The phone's not slippery either btw. Now. The big thing. The cameras. The stock camera is amazing and respectably good. I installed Gcam the very first night and it is amazing. The portrait is great better than stock in most cases. The night modes is actually beast. I tested pro m2 with Google's night sight against OnePlus 6T stock night scape and in 95% shots it came out much better than 6T even the night portraits had more detail and looked natural compared to oneplus' oversaturated look. Hey, @C4ETECH. Please pin this comment so others may have a better idea :) Edit: the front camera though, it's just about average

[@lawrencemgawi3848]

Does it have a metal frame or its plastic all around?
