ASUS ZENFONE 4 MAX (2017)
With 5000mAh intelligent battery with Powerbank feature, fingerprint scanner and Dual Cameras.
ZenFone 4 Max features an advanced dual-camera system designed to take your mobile photography to new heights. Its 13MP main camera is equipped with wide F2.0 aperture lens to capture clearer photos. The 120° wide-angle camera on ZenFone 4 Max has a 200% larger field of view than standard smartphone cameras, so you can fit more scenery and people in the frame for dramatic photos and videos that capture a true sense of place.
ZenFone 4 Max features a suite of intelligent power management technologies that work in concert to optimize battery life, ensure safety and long-term performance, provide reverse-charging capability, and more. By turning on the double battery lifespan feature, it means your device can fully charge (to 100%) and discharge (to 0%) up to 500 times in a 25°C environment, and the loss of battery capacity will be reduced by half.
Finally, ASUS ZENFONE MAX PLUS
The first ASUS smartphone with 18:9 display, large battery and facial recognition technology.
The ASUS ZenFone Max Plus represents the evolution of the entire ZenFone Max series. We’ve included all the well-loved features of the ZenFone Max series, and incorporated the latest mobile technologies into one device, while keeping the features and affordable price range.
Long battery life with intelligent power management
The ASUS ZenFone Max Plus would not be a Max series smartphone without long battery life; as a result, a large 4130mAh battery powers the heart of the device. Smart power management is handled by ASUS PowerMaster, with features that enable the battery to last twice it’s lifespan, making sure your ZenFone Max Plus will serve you well into the future.The ZenFone Max Plus also comes with ASUS’ Power-Safe Technology, with a 12-point safety-check running in real-time to keep you and the battery safe from harm.
The ZenFone Max Plus’ Full View FHD+ 18:9 display allows for a wider view, while still allowing users with small hands to grip the phone securely. The new display is perfect for web browsing, multi-window, and watching videos.
By using a full view display and an ultraslim bezel, we’ve made the 5.7-inch ZenFone Max Plus as small as most standard 5.2-inch phones. It’s the ultimate ergonomic design that not only lets you see more, but is much less bulky and more comfortable to hold.
Biometric security – Fingerprint unlock and facial recognition technology
Adding a whole new level of security for ZenFone users, the ZenFone Max Plus is also the first smartphone from ASUS to incorporate facial recognition technology, aside from the fingerprint scanner. It’s also one of the only phones in its price range to have facial unlock technology!
To ensure that the ASUS ZenFone Max Plus can only be unlocked by its owner, ASUS has included algorithms for background depth, motion and skin tone detection, and can detect if the phone is being unlocked using a photo by detecting pixel, moiré effects and unnatural reflections.
Facial recognition can be used to unlock your phone, view notifications from the lockscreen without having to unlock the phone.
While not world-firsts, the ZenFone Max Plus is the first to combine all these useful features into an affordable package that makes it the ideal smartphone for those who love to travel or simply not want to charge their phones for long periods.
The ZenFone Max Plus is also available on Home Credit for 6 months on 0% interest.
