Today Asus has launched a new handset named as Asus ZenFone Max. This device as the name suggests that there is something “MAX”. So let us find that out, what is max in this device and our opinion about the phone in first glance. Yes we got an opportunity to use the phone right when the phone got launched. It is kind of the company to send us the device before the launch.
We opened the Max box with a code and found the Asus Zenfone Max.

Design
This phone looks similar to its predecessor. This phone is having a similar look that of the Asus Zenfone series phones have. Wait! There are some changes for sure! We liked the back panel of the device which provides more grip to the user. Power and volume keys to the right. Though we remember the Zenfone Laser lock button which is placed top of the phone.
Overall the phone looks neat and there is a good screen to body ratio.
Display
Yes it is having a 5.5 inch IPS display but with 1280 x 720 pixels of screen resolution. Though expectations from the user are certainly increased and we will do all the wide angle tests in our review for sure.
Hardware
The phone is using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC processor. The good news is that this phone is having a massive 32GB of in built storage. There are expandable memory option too. There is 2GB of RAM for the Rs.9,999 phone and the price shoots up to Rs.12,999 for the 3GB RAM variant.
Software
This phone uses the latest operating system which is Android Marshmallow. So it will be cool to use the latest Android OS on this device. There is a use of ZenUI on this device.

This is the highlight of the phone. So our expectations of the battery usage have certainly increased as this device is having a massive 5000mAh battery capacity.

A smartphone with a great battery capacity, decent looks, nice camera, latest OS, good internal storage and decent hardware comes at a price of just Rs.9,999.
