With a huge battery underneath, the smartphone weighs 202 grams, you can feel it weighing down in your palms. It is however a small sacrifice for the kind of battery life the device offers. But more on that later. Overall, the Zenfone Max feels well built, sturdy and not a cheap device by any means.
The Asus Zenfone Max flaunts a 5.5-inch HD( 1280×720 pixels) IPS display. The size of the display and the relatively low resolution affects the sharpness, and viewing angles aren’t that great either. It feels Asus went for this size only to be able to accommodate the battery. Things don’t get a whole lot better when you step out on a sunny day either as the display gets barely legible under sunlight. It also doesn’t work in its favor that one can opt for the likes ofLenovo K3 Note and YU Yureka Plus boasting full HD( 1080p) displays at this price point.
