Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL Review

Remember my review post on Asus Zenfone2 Laser phone? Once my kid installed his favorite app 'Talking Tom', he started loving the phone. He enjoys using the phone with Talking Tom and few other kids games installed. Though I do not allow more screen time, I allow him to play with it for sometime. If I take that phone, my kid asks me not to use his phone and cause any damage:)

Last week, I got another exciting opportunity to review a new Asus phone called 'Asus Zenfone Max'. I readily accepted it as my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser is still doing very good even if it is being handled by a small kid.





When I was going through the Press Release, I was astonished with the battery life. I am super excited to try a new smart phone with a good battery life. With heavy usage, almost all the smart phones get drained quickly. Is it possible to reduce the usage? No, Never.

My view on Asus Zenfone Max:


Are you someone who expects a smart phone to have superior performance along with a stunning style?

Are you someone who dreams about a smart phone with long-lasting battery life without the need of charging quite frequently?

Are you someone who loves to flaunt with innovative devices?

Are you a blogger who wants to take pretty good photographs but could not afford a DSLR?

Are you someone who wants all these features in a pocket-friendly price?

If yes, Asus Zenfone Max is just the right phone for you. You can use this Asus Zenfone Max as a power bank and help others to get their phone charged by your phone. I have listed few notable specifications of this phone below.

Amazing Battery Life:

With lithium-polymer battery, Asus Zenfone Max provides 914.4 hours of standby time or 37.5 hours of 3G talk time or 32.5 hours of Wi-fi web browsing or 72.9 hours of music playback or 22.6 hours of video playback.

Asus Zenfone is the best for those who uses their phone a lot and struggling with low battery capacity. It is definitely the most irritating thing to charge everyday. With new Asus Zenfone Max, you can see a reduction in the number of charging cycles.

There is a power saver mode and you can save your battery life a lot more. To save further, just play with 5 battery modes and 2 smart switches.


Superior Performance:

I have been using this phone for almost a week and the phone performance is really good. With lag-free user experience, it stands really out. Can a phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core processor disappoint you in anyway? With 4G LTE technology, it gives you a high mobile data speed too.

If you are someone who is popular for multi-tasking, this phone is sure to delight you with its amazing performance. As a blogger, I cannot skip multitasking.


Stunning photography:

With Laser Auto Focus technology, you can focus on an object as fast as 0.03 seconds.

Rear Camera - 13 MP, f/2.0 aperture, Dual LED flash, Asus PixelMaster 2.0 technology.
Front Camera - 5 MP, f/2.0 aperture.


Did I tell you that I am enjoying my kid's vacation in my native. As a result, I am just playing with the phone daily to capture little things that give utmost happiness. Here are some of the random clicks that I have taken with Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL.
