Me on the other hand have used to iPhone touch id so much, make me really prefer front placement fingerprint. Since we are going bezel less, the in display fingerprint is the only option.
Front fingerprint allow us to unlock the phone without hold the phone. Best scenario is during working or lunch where the phone sit on the table. Just merely use the finger to unlock and see / read the notification without need to hold the phone. Very convenience.

I agree. The lack of front fingerprint sensor and the motorization of the camera are two of my biggest qualms about this. otherwise the phone is incredible imo.

Yeah MIUI is disgusting (in my opinion) but if k20pro comes out earlier and is priced cheaper I wouldn't hesistate to snatch it and flash a different ROM.

Unless price difference too huge, I'll prefer Zenfone 6 for the near-stock Android, and that 48mp + 13mp ultra-wide selfie
Zenfone 6 battery life quite good. Top 2 are stock or near stock Android.

Yeah same. AZ6 is my top choice. I really am in love with this phone (even though I sometimes go back and forth with the camera's motorization + noise haha)

Comparison between zf6 vs 1+7 pro.

Just watched this before logging in here. He's a great reviewer. Go watch his "vlog" video he recorded entirely with AZ6. He gives great insight on youtube/how brands work in regards to the tech world. The autofocus & exposure on AZ6 on that video a bit of mess (he noticed it too) due to the scorching hot sun/him sitting in shadembut the quality and audio was still so good

The weird orange tint is gone when he switched to 1080p thank god cry.gif rclxms.gif
The fact that AZ6 is on par and even better in quite a few comparisons (esp. 4k 60fps) is insane

Even the wideangle, hdr and even 3x zoom pics look more detailed

only time i preferred OP7pro was in the lowlight video (slightly) and during the slowmo comparison
Idk why the AZ6 slowmo looked so grainy there I've seen better videos of it for sure

Yeah. Quite good spec+pricing too...

the camera (even though it looks incredible on sheet), MIUI and their unreliability when it comes to pushing updates for phones after the first two years is what makes me iffy bout going with mi

I feel like AZ6 is the better phone (apart from OLED vs LCD) which is why I'm willing to wait out until the prices are reveled.

I've used ROG Phone... This is the recorded version of Asphalt :



Overall experience is excellent...

We can find more explanation on the YouTube channel by searching "ROG Phone Game Genie"...

However, I have major concern on over-heating of Z6... Moderate gaming, say, for 15 minutes could be find but prolong hours will either throttle or damage the internal components altogether... Mind that Z6 does not have any sort of heat sink internally...

Hm wonder why no reviewer has talked about that it's a pretty major detail

For me, the reason I am holding back on the Redmi purchase was because of the ads in the MIUI as well as experiences shared by friends using Redmi phones in the past... so yea.

I can still hold on for a few months because my current phone still works okay~

I have a question now though, have anyone tried using the game recorder function b4?
*
Mind sharing some of those experiences?

I'm kinda mad Xiaomi and oppo teased the whole underscreen camera so soon after their latest launches. that seems to be like THE fix for the front facing camera. And we'll have to wait for quite a bit before that's launched which sucks because by the time it's out I've probably snagged a new phone and wont upgrade for at least the upcoming 2-3 years

Because :
1) Z6 is touted as "power" users & content creators phone,
2) The Game Genie feature is about 50% of the full portions in ROG Phone.

Does gaming not come under "power using"? I'd assume it does since power users encompass users that use the phone to its max capabilities

We can set either internal or external mic... In my recording earlier, I've set it to internal mic but due to YouTube copyright policy, some audio/music is "muted"...

I only define "Power" user if we gaming for more than 2 hours str8...

If less than 30 minutes, it's not "Power" user to me...

Here is my record for 10 hours NON-STOP gaming using my old trusted LeMoto P2:

No major overheating for 10 hours str8 thanks to the energy efficient of Snap625...

Same like Samsung S10 series (Exynos ver.) it looks like this phone suffering from lens focus breathing when the light is not truly bright. The video goes blur to sharp to blur to sharp.... Samsung S10s is worst though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opVYuCQ1bKI

I wonder if it is fixable through updates, because Samsung hasn't fix theirs.

Hm I haven't seen any reviewer come across this issue yet. I watched a video yesterday on AZ6's video recording, it wasn't breathing or pulsating

What I have noticed though is the exposure being a little messed up. I've noticed this in several video recording samples

The video you saw probably recording in good light environment. Well the link I posted is from PhoneArena review. You can see it for yourself. The full review is up on their website, it just that the reviewer didn't mention it. Either he didn't bother about it or he just take it as a non issue. Some might not place any importance on that but for others it's really is a disappointment. Even my old Nexus 5x didn't exhibit such behavior during low light video capture. Other than that the phone really hit it for me in term of it's design, features and specs. With the flip camera I was thinking it would be really useful for some pictures and videos tricks, especially for a good panorama landscape scenery capture.
*
Hm I have seen a ton of AZ6 video recording samples in broad daylight when the sun is up and high, in shady conditions while the sun is still bright as well as in low light conditions but I have never come across such an issue. But I mean you can't deny it's there because this person clearly faced the issue. I just hope it's fixable via OTAs if it gets highlighted to their team.

Yeah same, the phone is truly remarkable. I never even had Asus in my head until the AZ6 launched. Now I can't get over it haha. Only issue I have with it is it's biometrics. It can be quite inconvenient with the sensor being on the back of the phone and and the flip up camera wont flip up if you quickly need to unlock the phone while it's laying down on a surface.
I dont even mind the IPS LCD that much. I just wish it had a underscreen fingerprint sensor but oh well

one hack to get rid of the ambient noise is to use the headphone with mic on it. so it'll capture audio from the microphone.
i have been doing this, albeit it is quite a hefty thing to have the dangling earphone/headphone but the end result is surely better

*
but wont the earphone mic also capture background noise?
i tried testing by screen recording youtube video but all of them which can record internal audio also record background noise. It seems like mobizen's internal audio only feature only works on samsung and if you have their special headphones. If you bought any of the latest mi phones then that'd be easier since I heard they have built in screen recording + internal audio features like this phone too
