ASUS Combines ‘Max’imum Style with ‘Max’imum Convenience

ASUS launched the advanced version of one of its best-selling smartphones in India – Zenfone Max. This model seems to be the perfect one for users who are always on travel for work and especially for travel bloggers like me. I will admit I have fallen for its stylish looks.

This new Zenfone Max scores over the previous model with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core processor. Two variants are available to consumers – 2GB or 3GB RAM with different price quotes. The internal memory of the phone has now been increased to 32GB, in addition to an expandable memory of up to 64GB. Equipped with a 5000 mAh battery, the new Zenfone Max can last longer without charging and is also capable of being a power bank for other gadgets making it an essential product for daily use. Other features such as 5.5-inch 720p display, 13 mega pixel rear camera, and 5 mega pixel front camera are carried over from previous model but the new model will come with Android 6.0.1 out of the box.

I bet you will fall for its colors and sleek looks. The new ZenFone Max will be available in black, white, orange, and blue. The new Zenfone Max boasts of a slim body that measures only 5.2 mm at its thinnest edge. The surrounding metal-like edge makes it durable.

Stunning Images with new Zenfone Max

The new ZenFone Max has a 13 Megapixel, f/2.0-aperture rear camera with the ASUS PixelMaster 2.0 technology and dual-LED flash. This enables natural-looking photography. It also features Laser Auto Focus technology that helps photography enthusiasts like me to focus on an object in as fast as 0.03 seconds. ZenFone Max’s front camera is a 5 Megapixel, f/2.0-aperture camera with 85degree wide-viewing angle that helps in incorporating more information and details into the picture. Good selfie captures should be possible with this.
