Asus ZenFone Max (M1) Review

Asus ZenFone Max (M1) is a powerful Android cellphone released in 2018, packing a big size 5.5" display, an extremely fast Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.4 GHz, and two cameras, a 13 megapixels back camera and an 8 MP front camera. Let's take a better view of what this phone can give us.

Asus sells the Asus ZenFone Max (M1) with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 MSM8917 chip, which holds an extremely fast Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1400 megahertz with a big 2 GB RAM. The Asus ZenFone Max (M1) counts with a 16 GB quite large internal memory and an external memory slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred applications and games without running out of space.

Talking about its materials, this phone is mainly manufactured with Aluminum . This cellphone is only 5.8 inches long, but it still manages to hold a 5.5 inches screen. The Asus ZenFone Max (M1) is very thin and good-looking, being just 0.34 inches thick. Asus made this cellphone in black, pink and red. Asus has made an amazing design job making this device weight only 5.29 oz.

Asus packed this cellphone with a nice 5.5 inches screen, and a 720 x 1440 resolution, which makes all photos and videos look very good.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front camera. The Asus ZenFone Max (M1) also films videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. This device also counts with time lapse video.

The Asus ZenFone Max (M1) has a 4000 mAh large Li - Polymer non-removable battery that provides the Asus ZenFone Max (M1) an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this device's battery isn't replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, even though having 4000 mAh you will probably buy a new cellphone before it happens.

This cellphone counts with wi-fi connection (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance connection type and also HSPA+ connectivity, that is a bit slower 4G network and 3G fast connection type, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone has two Nano SIM cards so it is able to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.

This cellphone also includes a great numbre of great features like Biometric fingerprint, Facial recognition to unlock, Bluetooth (for communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Asus is selling this cellphone for 169 dollars, which is not a very good offer for this type of phone. This phone is probably very appropiate if you will use it as a work cellphone, want a social phone, want it to take lots of photographs or will use this cellphone for gaming.
