The Zenfone Max is specifically designed for heavy users. It's got non-removable 5,000 mAh battery capacity. The phone can be used as a power bank to charge another device.

There is nothing significantly great about the screen as it has 720 x 1280 pixels resolution and 267 ppi pixel density.

Under the screen, Zenfone Max packs Snapdragon 410 processor with 2 GB of RAM and two options of internal storage: 8 GB and 16 GB. It runs Android Lollipop upgradable to Marshmallow. There is a dedicated slot for memory expansion.

In terms of audio quality, the speaker results an average sound but the image quality is sharp. The 13 MP rear camera seems to focus fast enough.
