Asus ZenFone Max Review

Asus ZenFone Max is a high-end phone launched many years ago, packed with a great performance 1200 megahertz processor, a big size 5.5" capacitive screen, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better idea about this device's specifications when we get into deeper details.

Asus decided to sell this device with a fast processing unit speeding at 1.2 gigahertz, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 chip with a great 2 GB RAM memory. The Asus ZenFone Max has a 16 GB quite large internal storage memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows the user to store hundreds of apps without any trouble.

This phone is quite slim and practical, but it's not so thin as many other phones on sale, with a thickness of 0.42 inches. The Asus ZenFone Max is quite a compact cellphone, given that it features a 5.5 inches display and it is only 6.14 inches long. This time, it seems like Asus forgot about optimizing the weight in this 7.13 ounces cellphone. This device is sold in two colors, black and white.

This phone features two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. It also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos up to 60 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also includes a large number of amazing characteristics: flash, auto-focus, HDR mode, face detection shooting, time lapse video and geo tagging.

Asus packed this phone with a very good 5.5" display, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes everything look very good. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This cellphone features a 5000 mAh high capacity Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. Asus informs a 37.6 hs talk time and a 914 hours stand by time for this cellphone. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to get older, though with such a great capacity you will probably discard this device before that happens.

This phone counts with Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), LTE 4G fast connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a bit slower 4G network and fast 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone comes with two Micro SIM cards so it is able to work with two different carriers or phone numbers in the same cellphone.

This device also includes some nice features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other phones and accessories) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Asus offers this cellphone for $ 180, which is a very high price for this kind of phone. This phone is a great option for you no matter whether you need a cellphone for work, want a social phone, want a cellphone for playing games or are an amateur photographer.
