yes


no

More expensive than M1 but the thinner bezel really look nice.

Hopefully we'll get to see it officially in Malaysia...

Tada

So did you pull the trigger?

Rm799 - rm50 = rm749
On my way lol

Finally... Gratz bro...

Looks like I was too optimistic (or just optimistically delusional) about this. Turns out there's no substantial improvement with the flashing auto brightness issue. There may be a slight change in the way the screen adopts to ambient light but the abruptness still remains - not dynamic or comfortable (like older and cheaper phones).

Sorry, my bad.

Then again, the official Android P update is already in the pipeline. I understand it comes with Adaptive Brightness.

Taking into consideration the camera's hidden EIS and Camera2 API capabilities, it seems to me like M1 was born geared towards Android P.

We'll just have to wait and see if this is actually the case with auto/adaptive brightness as well.

Not too bad, bro.

Summary of tido time standby (wifi disconnected):

1. 8 hrs on airplane mode = 1% loss.

2. 8 hrs with data and battery saver on = 1% loss.

3. 8 hrs with network open and data on (data saver on, as usual) = 2% loss.


All in all, pretty good lah for standby drain with .327. However, I think power optimization during use could be better.

Let's see if Asus does better with the next update or if it is going to depend on Android P to do that for them.

Ya, that's about the same as mine so well done Asus. Not sure when we may see Android P on our devices but fingers crossed early next year

Agree also though that the auto brightness is still wonky.

Guys, just use the phone. Stop obsessing with standby time. It's a good phone for it's price. Enjoy it.

Can't agreed more, definitely the best budget phone at the moment.

13MP vs. 16MP...

mlbb good using this phone?

So, I see many otai2 here have quite a knowledge about batteries.. My phone will arrive today, so just wanna know.. Any charging tips on how to sustain the phone battery's condition longer? Thanx!

Nice find. For me the 6GB wins hands down. Imagine what it could do with GCam installed!

Nothing to be surprised...

You can play for 7 hours non-stop!

Clear all used apps before charging and/or put the phone in airplane mode if possible. That way you'll get "rapid charging" (around 2 hrs and 40 mins, from 0 - to 100%).

For battery mileage, make sure as many apps as possible are battery optimized, especially Android System. Turn off it's background activity ("Apps background is limited when not in use"). Also deny background data usage for apps for which you think background data access is unnecessary. The same goes for access to location services.

Allow auto-sync only for important apps like Gmail and Contacts and possibly your other chosen apps. Keep Data Saver turned on. Disable wifi scanning if not necessary.

Uninstall or disable any apps that are useless to you via the conventional method or via adb, if necessary (I safely uninstalled/disabled a total of 23 system apps and a few more 3rd party bloatware ones).

Cut down Window and Transition animation scales and Animator duration scale to .5x in Developer Options. This will speed up operation of your phone and overall power wastage on animations will be reduced. Keep notifications on only for the apps/system apps that you need.

Read somewhere that by running the battery down to shut down and recharging it to 100% in off mode before restarting it in fully charged state - before unplugging it, will "calibrate" your battery. Dunno how far that is true but I've done it the prescribed 3 times - just in case.

Wipe the cache partition via recovery mode after a big ass, major update.

Use Naptime like me!
