The Asus Zenfone Max comes in black or white and will have a slightly rounded back panel that helps with grip and the overall feel of the phone. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as a microSD port, just like most other smartphones today. The screen on the Asus Zenfone Max is 5.5-inches in size and has a 720×1280 resolution, which is a pretty good start to a phone in the “lower” mid-range.
Going with a lower resolution screen will help with battery life, as well as keeping the overall cost of the phone down. Inside the phone you will find it powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory to get you started. It will take a microSD card up to 64GB in size.
The phone does weigh more than a few other models from ASUS, but that has a lot to do with the battery size. According to other reviews on phones that are powered with a SoC (system on a chip), the battery life is a lot longer as it works more efficiently on the inside.
