Sd 660, 5000mah, stock android, decent camera with gcam ofcuz, decent price...could just be the best below rm1k class phone so far....been using it for this 2 weeks quite impressed with what asus have done here.....good job asus....

Get this phone and straight away enable the camera2 api and install gcam asap, it make a miles different...its not that hard many video tutorial on youtube... Its simple procedure really....

Hopefully asus polish this phone more with their coming OTA update....

until you realize it only has 2.4ghz band for wifi!

Finally, dedicated thread for the M2P...

My A-to-Z Review for the M2P at ZenTalk Forum

Well with the price tag like that, you know they have to cut corner somewhere...its not a deal breaker for me....youtube and nexflix full hd still run just fine...

Totally agreed. Not a big problem, to be honest. The coverage for 5ghz frequency also small.

Hahaha, yeah, at long last after we all kept pushing the responsibility around

No , not like that. If don't have physical phone , who dare to start the thread. 😁

You'd be surprised how many thread starters on LYN don't actually own the phone of the thread they started

Hahaha.... actually i wanted to talk something about the m2...but posting it on m1 thread feel wrong....so here goes nothing 1st time opening a discussion thread...after so many years...

Btw im having small issue with the phone...the stock camera apps its lagging.... sometime....when u click the shutter button nothing happen....anybody having the same problem......

This problem been hunting me since my late redmi note 5ai...ohh that phone the camera laghing problem is horrible....i had to flash to custom roms or gcam to totally solve the camera lagging problems...... hopefully its not repeating again with my m2.... hopefully they fix is in the next updates...

Now I only know. LOL

😄

My review unit works as usual... Perhaps try to "Clear data" of the stock cam app... Oh well, after side-loaded GCam, we can totally ignore stock cam (but selfie vix still need stock cam due to EIS @ 1080P...)

Hehe, ya, a lot of those hit and run cases

I managed to play with a display unit M2 today but very briefly though as someone else was waiting to fondle it too, haha. For me personally it feels nicer in the hands than the Poco, but the back is a fingerprint magnet nightmare. Definitely need a case.

Getting M2 soon ?

Well my M1 is just a backup phone now and it's still serving me well, so maybe not. But I might dispose of it before the warranty period ends in the next few months. Let's see

The poco definitely feel cheaper compare to this....the built material i mean....and poco somehow feel thicker and heavier i think....good job asus can fitt such a beast of battery inside a quite slim body....sold my poco last month to get this....hehe

Sold Poco for M2P....? Oh wow....LOL...

This could be one of the reasons...

Why ? Put your Poco into an external casing and the built material problem will be gone.

Isn't Poco F1 has almost everything a high-tier devices do that makes it an excellent bait for unsuspecting customers ( collaborators ?) ??
