Live Unplugged With Asus Zenfone Max

Asus has been a name synonymous with style, convenience and latest technology for a while now and I have been reviewing all their latest entrants for over a year for you guys. This time around, Asus had a lot of for the first times along with some path breaking innovations all in the form of their latest launch this week called “Zenfone Max”. I have been using Zenfone Max since its launch on 23^rd May and here is my detailed review for you lovelies.

Firstly the phone arrived in a locked box as you can see in the picture and it also had a code. The note along with the secret box asked me to open the box on 23^rd after watching the live streaming of its launch online and I would get my code at the end of the video, which I did. This was something cool and I actually looked forward to the launch.

Digital and print space was streamlined for the same time unveiling of Zenfone Max. Asus has appointed Bollywood Diva Sonakshi Sinha as their first-ever brand ambassador in the country. Along with the launch, Asus also kick-started their #LiveUnplugged digital campaign that stars Sonakshi Sinha in it. Zenfone Max is priced at an unbeatable price of Rs. 9,999 onwards.

Here are Zenfone Max features that got me hooked

Kickass Battery Life – 5000 mAh battery isn’t a joke and it comes along with an OTG cable that turns your Zenfone Max into a one of a kind and an innovative charger for other devices. All you need is to carry the cord of the device that needs charging and you are set.

Stylish As Ever –Zenfone Max by Asus comes in three peppy and fun colours – black, orange and blue. The body of the phone is sleek, stylish and very chic looking. I love the fashionable embossed leather on the back.

Power Packed – It has an octa-code processor with 2GB / 3GB RAM variations along with 16/32 GB internal storage that can also be expanded if you wish and that too upto 64 GB.

Browse For Longer –Zenfone Max has been equipped with Wi-Fi web browsing or music playback for 72.9 hours or 22.6 hours of video playback which is insane for a phone available in this price range.

Amazing UI –Zenfone Max uses Android M 6.0.1 and ASUS ZenUI, along with the advanced features used to its full potential. The Power Saver mode is very handy in times of need and emergency to save up battery life and extend it even more. There are total of five battery modes and two smart switches that can be used to make your own personalized battery optimization in the best way possible as per the needs of an individual.

Best Picture Quality – The new ZenFone Max boasts of a 13 Megapixel, f/2.0-aperture rear camera with the ASUS PixelMaster 2.0 technology and dual-LED flash that makes your pictures look lively even in natural lighting. Laser Auto Focus technology is again a hit with me who like super fast focus capabilities in their phone camera. The front camera is a 5 Megapixel camera with such amazing picture quality even in not so well lit up spaces or with a cast or an over-shadow as you can see in my pictures. Yet they stand out and look so terrific.

Bluelight Filter That Protects Your Eyes – Zenfone Max has a full-screen lamination with an amazing 5.5 inch HD (1280×720) IPS display that gives superior clarity and touch responsiveness. It also has a protective layer of the Bluelight filter that takes care of your eyes from the strain that is generally caused by the prolonged use of a mobile phone.
