The Zenfone 4 Max is slim and sexy considering the battery it packs. The 2.5D Glass and Metal Unibody adds a premium element to a budget friendly smartphone offering.
For its Display, it houses a 5.5 inch HD Display. Hey its High Definiation which should be enough for quality viewing pleasure. Paired it with Snapdragon 430 plus Adreno 505 Graphics, 3GB RAM and 32GB (22.5 Available for User) Internal Storage, this hardware setup can handle your apps, games and files at satisfying levels even on high settings.
Asus seems to be keen on taking the photography route as such they equipped their new Zenfone 4s with Dual-Camera setup. For Zenfone 4 Max, the main camera is at 13MP with a Omnivision 13855 Sensor with standard viewangle of 80-degree and aperture size of f/2.0. There is also a 120-degree wide angle camera at 5MP which uses Omnivision 5675 sensor at f/2.2 aperture. For front camera, a high resolution 8MP should do the trick for your selfies and video chats. But wait, we noticed that shutter speed is maxed at 1/3 sec compared to 32 sec shutter speed of the old Zenfone 3 Max. For manual and photography users, this should be a big downgrade as you will not be able to do long exposure shots with the stock camera. Hopefully Asus can bring the feature via software update. On the flip side, Beauty Live App is available for instant beautification.

It is also great to know that Asus has chosen to let go the hybrid sim tray for triple slot for two sim cards and a dedicated microSD slot. Just basic connectivity features here with WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Supports 4G LTE Cat 4 data connection for fast on-the-go internet. USB-OTG Is supported and Zenfone 4 Max may act as a powerbank with its 5000mAh and reverse charging feature. With that size of power paired with less power-hunger hardware, it will last you a day or two of moderate use.
