Asus lately launched an updated edition of its Zenfone Maximum smartphone. The device may be priced at $148.54 for the 2GB RAM version that accompany 32GB of internal storage space and there’s also the 3GB RAM variant which again sports 32GB associated with internal storage. This may be the same Zenfone Max which was launched earlier this year having a large 5000mAh battery which 5. 5-inch display, but because of the upgraded internals, things have gotten much more interesting, especially when you factor in the high cost.
The new Asus Zenfone Max showcases exactly the same design that we have seen previously model which was launched in January. The new smartphone features exactly the same plastic construction and the actual textured rubber back cover that may be opened to reveal the actual non-removable 5000mAh battery and use of the SIM cards as well as microSD card slots. The actual handset weighs a significant 202 grams (which appears alright, considering its bigger than usual battery) and steps 77. 5 x 156 by 10. 55 mm.
Even though smartphone is built entirely from plastic, the rubberised back provides it a quality feel and look and the handset’s weight contributes to this impression. While the frame seems to be made of metal (it’s not) it clearly fails to provide you with that impression when organized close. But we really liked the standard and texture of the amount and power/unlock buttons that take a seat on the right side.
The actual 3. 5mm jack sits on top side, while the micro USB port sits at the end end along with the main mic. The secondary mic sits about the back above the digital camera unit. The camera module also features a laser autofocus system as part of its setup.
Display
As the new Zenfone Max will go big on everything, it will pack in a large 5. 5-inch display too. But the TFT LCD (IPS) display sports a very low resolution of 1280×720 pixels, which failed to create a good first impression because of its low pixel density. However, the display seemed vibrant enough indoors, but we can give our final verdict on a single in our full evaluation.
Chipset, RAM, Connectivity
The brand new Asus Zenfone Max’s rejuvenated hardware bits are indeed the highlight from the smartphone. We get a proven mid-range chipset as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (octa-core) that's now paired with possibly 2GB RAM or 3GB MEMORY and 32GB of inner storage. Our review unit may be the 2GB RAM version and also the smartphone features a microSD greeting card slot and supports memory cards as high as 64GB. We are expecting a little bump in performance benchmarks when compared to older Zenfone Max, but simultaneously we cannot expect an excessive amount of as Snapdragon 615 is definitely an older chipset from Qualcomm’s six hundred series.
Coming to online connectivity options, the device functions 3G and 4G LTE rings, Wi-Fi 802. 11 b/g/n, Wireless bluetooth v4. 0 and GPS NAVIGATION GLONASS.
OS, Battery, Digital camera
The battery is really a massive 5000mAh non-removable device. This is where we are able to expect the device to actually perform. And this is believable given that it was switched upon 13 days ago and also the smartphone with 33 % battery still indicates 13 times of usage left! We are testing these claims within our battery life tests.
Using the focus on battery existence, we did not expect much in the camera. But Asus has incorporated a 13MP rear camera having a dual tone LED expensive and laser autofocus aid, so this is something we'd definitely be looking into within our full review. The camera also includes a 5MP front facing sensor with regard to selfies.
Conclusion
With the given cost, it is indeed difficult to argue that Asus Zenfone Max using its upgraded internal hardware creates a great affordable proposition. But for now this really is only on paper and extensive testing within our upcoming full review may tell where it stands between the many “max”-branded smartphones available and even others such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 that fall under the same price group.
