Asus ZenFone Max Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 61.9 / 100

Asus ZenFone Max is a complete Android phone launched some years ago, in 2016, equipped with a fast Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1200 MHz, an enormous 5.5 inches screen, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera.

Asus decided to build this cellphone using a fast Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1.2 gigahertz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 chip with a big 2 GB of RAM memory. A good advantage of this cellphone is its big 16 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, allowing the user to install a couple hundred games and applications without running out of space.

This device is a very compact phone, taking into account that it features a 5.5 inches display and it's only 6.14 inches long. This device's thickness of 0.42" is a little bit far from current standards, but it still feels quite right in the user's hand. This cellphone is for sale in 16 777 216 color. Asus appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 7.13 oz cellphone.

This phone has two cameras, a 13 MP back camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera. It can also film 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second, and slow-motion videos in (HD) (1280x720) up to 60 fps (2 times slower than regular videos). This cellphone also has time lapse video.

Asus designed this phone with a very good 5.5" display, and a resolution of 720 x 1280 (HD), which makes all images and videos look very good.

This cellphone counts with WiFi connectivity (although it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a router), LTE 4G high speed connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, a lower speed 4G type and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone has 2 Micro SIM cards to be able to to use 2 different carriers or phone numbers at the same time.

The Asus ZenFone Max uses a big capacity 5000 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this cellphone an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the Asus ZenFone Max's battery is not removable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, while with such a huge battery size you will probably discard this cellphone before that happens.

This cellphone also includes a couple of cool features such as Bluetooth (4.0, EDR ) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

No matter if you are looking for a work cellphone, want it to take tons of photos, will use it as a gaming cellphone or will use it as a social device, this phone is probably the right one for you.
