Comment

Model: The Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is a mid-range smartphone with great appearance and features. It is a masterpiece of design with a seamless appearance and a truly luxurious feel. The new back cover design on the ZenFone Max Pro is sure to grab attention. The eye-catching Wave finish looks beautiful from every angle, showing an ever-changing interplay of light and shade. It may look sleek, but the battery inside the ZenFone Max Pro is big. Its 5.000 mAh high-capacity battery has the stamina to endure longer than ever thought possible: lose themselves in non-stop gaming, immerse in endless movies, or just browse or talk for as long as users want. The ZenFone Max Pro is powered by the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform, incorporating the Qualcomm AI Engine, for smooth, responsive and power-efficient performance. It gives the ZenFone Max Pro effortless power, delivering the ultimate experience for mobile gaming and multitasking, and making it easy to achieve whatever user want to do. The ZenFone Max Pro has a 6.3” all screen FHD+ display with a resolution of 2,280 x 1,080 pixels. The high-quality display, with its wide 94 % color gamut, 450 nits outstanding brightness and a 1,500:1 high contrast ratio, makes everything on the phone look clearer and more vivid. Besides that, the ZenFone Max Pro is the first ZenFone to use the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6, which is designed to withstand multiple 1-meter drops. This protection isn’t even included in some of the most expensive flagships at the moment.

The dual-camera system in the ZenFone Max Pro uses high-end hardware to take photography to new heights. With its high-resolution, incredibly light-sensitive Sony IMX486 sensor, ZenFone Max Pro takes any subject in its stride, so user will enjoy more-realistic photos at any time of day or night. Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) get rid of camera shake for blur-free handheld shots and videos, with accurate focusing on any subject. For gorgeous portraits and close-ups, the second camera on the ZenFone Max Pro uses depth-sensing technology to create an artistic ‘bokeh’ effect, putting the subject in sharp focus while blurring the background. The intelligent dual-camera system in ZenFone Max Pro is quite advanced. With advanced AI Scene Detection, user can concentrate on the subject, and get perfect results every time. The ZenFone Max Pro revolutionizes mobile photography, giving user a simpler, smarter way to capture and share every magic moment. For a superb audio experience, the ZenFone Max Pro uses a five-magnet speaker with a metal voice coil, driven by a powerful NXP low-distortion smart amplifier that delivers powerful, detailed and crystal-clear sound. As a conclusion, the ZenFone Max Pro is certainly an improved version of its predecessor, ZenFone Max Pro (M1). Besides that, it is also budget friendly, thus suitable for users who have a lower budget, but still want a decent performing smartphone, especially on camera.

74.48%: 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.
