Year-end is the perfect time to indulge in some philanthropy. You can make a humble start by sharing your smartphone juice with a friend. Gone are the days when you needed batteries with capacities larger than 5000mAh for your devices to last long. The recently launched Asus Zenfone Max lets you do all this with just a 4100mAh battery, thanks to its innovative battery technology. Asus has included an OTG cable with the Max devices, ensuring that you can use its battery as a power bank if you need to. You can choose from five different battery modes depending on usage and how much charge remains on your phone.
The 5.5 inches Zenfone 3 Max (ZC553KL) is powered by a Snapdragon 430 64-bit processor, in addition to an Adreno 505 graphics processor aimed at hardcore gamers. The device comes with a 16 MP rear and 8MP front camera, along with an electronic image stabilization (EIS) feature that counteracts hand movements while shooting videos. However, the 5.2 inches Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) comes with a quad core processor and a Mali T720 graphics processor. The rear and front camera configurations are 13MP and 5MP respectively. Both the variants are 4G LTE dual-SIM devices with 3GB RAM and 32GB memory. While the 5.5 inches variant is expandable up to 128GB, the 5.2 inches variants are expandable up to 32GB.
The devices come with a rather interesting claim — the fingerprint unlock button at the back apparently takes just 0.3 seconds to recognize your fingerprint, and you can program the device to recognize all the five fingers of your hand. Of course, you can also unlock the camera with it.
Priced at Rs 17,999 and Rs 12,999 respectively for the two sizes, we believe it’s a good year-end buy, for its superior camera and reverse charging features. While the 5.2 inches Zenfone 3 Max is currently available in online and offline outlets, the 5.5 inches variant is expected any day.
