The hãng asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 was a solid comeback device. Developed especially for the Indian market based on consumer feedback, the Max Pro M1 was a well-rounded device that ticked all the boxes an affordable smartphone should. It was a runaway success. Asus followed it up with the asus Zenfone Max M1, a stripped-down variant.


Just before the year ended, the company launched the hãng asus Zenfone Max Pro M2. It is quite a big upgrade to lớn the Max Pro M1 — on the specs sheet as well as the design. I spent a couple of weeks with the device. Here’s our hãng asus Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông review.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro m2 review: Design


*

While the younger sibling Max m2 carries on the design legacy of the last generation, the Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông introduces a new glass-like design with “dynamic optical finish” that totally ups the ante in visual appeal. It also makes it prone to lớn scratches, & the glossy exterior easily catches smudges all the time.


There’s an overall premium feel lớn this device and it looks much better than its very vanilla metal-bodied predecessor. It looks rad, especially in the gorgeous Blue and Titanium màu sắc variants the phone comes in, & stands out in a sea of similar looking mid-range smartphones.


It’s impressive Asus could pack a large 5,000mAh battery into a phone that weighs only 175 grams. It feels quite compact, và the even weight distribution makes it quite comfortable khổng lồ hold.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro m2 review: Display


*

On the front, there’s a 6.3-inch Full HD+ display with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. It’s the cheapest điện thoại in the market with the latest Gorilla Glass 6 protection, which is quite a feat from Asus.


There’s a not-so-big notch on the top and thinner bezels than the last time, which makes for a higher screen-to-body ratio.


The M1 only had a passable display, and asus has made amends this time around. Our asus Max Pro M2 review unit has a brighter, livelier display, with punchy colors and good viewing angles overall. The sunlight visibility is pretty good as well.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông review: Performance


*

The Zenfone Max Pro m2 has some serious internal upgrades over the M1, as well. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor paired with an Adreno 512 GPU. The Snapdragon is the vị trí cao nhất of the line chipset in this price range, and asus did well moving up from the Snapdragon 636, unlike Xiaomi’s Redmi lưu ý 6 Pro.


There are three RAM variants — 3GB, 4GB, and 6GB — with 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. I used the middle variant for this asus Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông review.


In everyday usage, the Max Pro mét vuông sails though even while multitasking with several apps xuất hiện in the background. There was no apparent lag or stuttering & the entire experience was quite fluid. Some graphically intensive games lượt thích PUBG took a while lớn start, but with medium graphic settings, the gaming experience is pretty smooth.


With a large 5,000mAh battery and stock app android experience, the Zenfone Max Pro m2 easily lasts for a day & a half with moderate to lớn heavy usage. The battery life on the Max Pro m2 is great, but the lack of fast charging means it takes ages lớn charge the big battery completely.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông review: Hardware


The choice of a Micro-USB port instead of USB-C on the Max Pro m2 is disappointing now that few other smartphones in the market at similar price points have made the switch.


The device features a 3-in-1 tray with dedicated slots for two nano SIM cards và a microSD card to expand storage up khổng lồ 2TB.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro m2 review: Camera


For its segment, the dual camera thiết lập on the Max Pro mét vuông looks good on paper. There’s the 12MP Sony IMX486 sensor with f/1.8 aperture combined with a 5MP depth sensor. This may seem like a downgrade from the thiết lập on the predecessor, but hãng asus is using a larger sensor this time, with a 1.25micron px size.


There’s also EIS and support for 4K video recording, & an over-the-air update during the review period brought AI scene detection as well.


In daylight outdoors, the phone took some good shots, although it was inconsistent. Some shots were overexposed and often the details in the background or at distant subjects were missing. The màu sắc reproduction is pretty good though.


The portraits came out great, with good edge detection và natural-looking shots — unless you mix them khổng lồ the highest level of blur (yes, you can control the amount of depth you want in your portrait shots).


In low light, the camera struggles. It’s better than its predecessor, but not by a giant leap. Most shots are grainy và lack sharpness. There’s also significant shutter lag and a slight delay as each shot is saved.


Up front, you have a 13MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture & an LED flash. Selfies are quite good, và face detection locks focus accurately when taking a group selfie. You can select the màn chơi of beautification, & even on high levels it doesn’t go overboard with smoothing skin — no mannequins here.


The Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông now comes with stock Android, as hãng asus dropped its proprietary UI layer — ZenUI — from its budget và mid-range lines. It’s a clean and no-frills experience, with only three preloaded third-party apps (Facebook, Messenger, & Instagram).


While the phone ships with game android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, the company has confirmed that the smartphone will receive game android 9.0 Pie soon. Asus has been quite aggressive with over the air updates on this new series. Every few weeks there has been an update on the older phones further fine tuning your điện thoại cảm ứng experience và delivering monthly security patches.

Starting at 12,999 rupees in India, and about $320 in the U.S. Via Amazon, the asus Zenfone Max Pro mét vuông is a well-rounded affordable smartphone that punches above its weight.
