As similar as many phones look and feel these days, there's typically one quality you can point to that a handset does particularly well, that differentiates it from its competitors. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find it in the ZenFone Max Plus.

It’s a great choice for people looking for a decent phone under the Php 12, 000 price tag. Well, it can do every mundane stuff and has dual cameras, an 18:9 display, a decent battery life, and both fingerprint scanner and face unlock – all of that for just Php 11,995.

The Zenfone Max Plus is certainly a strong contender despite its late arrival to the 18:9 train, although that late arrival also brings with it missed opportunities and a few hiccups. The device offers decent performance along with an above average display, respectable cameras, a clean UI with appreciated features, and an immersive audio experience when plugged. Not to mention it also has a thin, light and sturdy frame.

On paper, the Asus Zenfone Max Plus M1 checks most boxes that make it a pretty good option for those looking for less than Php 12,000. You’ve got an 18:9 display with great pixel density, an improvement on its dual cameras, premium build quality, and great battery life that makes it live up to its given name as the Taiwanese company’s Battery King. The chink in its armor is the MediaTek processor that may leave heavier users wanting a bit more power under the hood, so keep your usage habits in mind if you are looking to pick up the M1.

That’s pretty much it for our unboxing. No price has been set for the ZenFone Max Plus M1, though we really are hoping ASUS prices this thing correctly compared to its competition. The mid-range, 18:9 market has been especially vicious in the past few months – ASUS really has to set a good pace in terms of pricing at the start of the year to gather momentum.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

68.8%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
