Design:
Zenfone 3 Max has the same design of Zenfone 2 Laser. The phone is having aluminium body. The phone looks stylish. There is 2.5D glass in the front. The phone isnt very heavy.
Display:
The phone has 5.5 inch Full HD display. The display is sharp and vibrant. The phone is good for watching movies etc.
Camera: Primary 13 MP; Secondary 8 MP;
The camera takes great pictures in day lights. The images were sharp and crisp. The photos taken in low lights are average. The selfie camera takes average pictures. The camera can record Full HD videos. There are many camera modes.
Performance;
The phone has Snapdragon 430 processor. The phone can handle most of the apps. Heavy use lags the phone. Software is fast and responsive. We can see some bloatware in the device. the phone doesnt heats up. We can depend this phone for moderate usage,
Battery Life;
The device comes with 4100 mAh battery. Asus phones are known for its battery. We can easily get two days battery back up with moderate usage. I could play HD videos for 36 hrs. The phone doesnt have quick charging.
Sound:
Sound quality should be improved. the speakers are not loud enough. For the price, Asus should have given better speakers.
I dont recommend this phone for heavy users. Moderate users can buy this smartphone. I think better options are available.
