• 1 year manufacturer warranty for device and 6 months manufacturer warranty for in-box accessories including batteries from the date of purchase.

5000mAh Battery Holds Charge for 38 Days

• ZenFone Max’s sleek frame secretes a monster battery - a 5000mAh cell custom crafted from lithium-polymer to pack the maximum energy into the minimum space! It even turns into a power bank, allowing you to draw on its incredibly long-lasting 5000mAh battery to charge other devices.
• Test in 3G mode, data connection off, WiFi/BT off, display off. Measured by current meter, calculated with typical battery capacity.

13MP Clarity with Ultra-Fast Laser Auto-Focus

• ZenFone Max’s 13MP pixel master camera has f/2.0-aperture lens that captures stunning, high-resolution photos with zero shutter lag. The ultra-fast laser auto-focus feature greatly reduces blurring and enhances image stabilization and the industry-leading Low Light mode employs pixel-merging technology to capture up to 400% brighter photos at night or in low-light scenes all without the need for a flash

Look Sharp, Travel Smooth

• ZenFone Max is surrounded by a striking metal-effect bezel that’s as stylish to behold as it is smooth to touch, so you’ll look sharp as it slips smoothly into your pocket or purse. With the look and feel of embossed leather, ZenFone Max is finished to be as beautiful as it is powerful. And it’s more than a desirable aesthetic the rear etching provides great tactility for added grip.

Maximum Productivity and Multimedia Entertainment

• ZenFone Max is powered by a qualcomm snapdragon 615 processor, ample power for your daily tasks and activities. Featuring LTE category 4 for download speeds up to 150Mbps

Pros.

1) If u hav this phone with u, dont wory abt backup atall..even if phone is at 40% it will take one hour heavy usage to bring it to 30%. Heavy usage as if, playing high end games like modern combat5, watching online videos, downloading apps from playstore etc.
2) phone chipset is good enough to do good level of multitasking and gaming..i ve been playing modern combt5, asphalt etc..all these games runs without any lag in optimum graphics
3) OTG support..it reads otg very fast.
First i had some problem getting my pendrive detected in phone file manager..but later it worked after changing pendrive mode to FAT32. Not sure wethr this is a problem of this particular piece of zfone max.
3)NO HEATING ISSUES ATALL!!
belive me..when i say no heating, it meansno heating atall..even aftrr ging for hours
4) superior buid quality..i bought black colour..really liked finish of back case in this..dont know how white colour max will look like
4) front camera
U can take amazing selfies with this phone..even can take slowmotion videos using front cam.

Cons.

1) zen UI installs lots of unwanted apps when u connect to internet for first time
.but u can unistall them and free ur ram later..no a big problem but stil felt annoying a bit
2) back camera is pretty decent..not great in terms of colours..u can refer videos in youtube for detailed camera reviews
Thasts all cons i felt in this awesome device
Speaker sound is good, and phone is little bit bulky because of 5000mah battery inside..but personally i prefer battery backup like this beast can offer over the weight of phone.

we recommend this mobile if your budget is below 12k
