Design and Display
Implementing an aluminium alloy material is good; making it attractive is better. At the edges of the smartphone, antennae lines can be seen running across. Adding to that, its gloss finish brings that finesse feeling to the table. The black and blue colour options Asus went for makes it juicier.
No less than 6.26 inches was coughed out as the phone’s display. And it works out its magic with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution. Instead of 18:9 aspect ratio, Asus went for the jugular by using 19:9 aspect ratio for the display. As a result, the display enjoys over 80% screen estate.
Battery and Camera
The smartphone gets a battery juice of 4,000mAh capacity. Interesting enough, you can charge other phones with the application of USB On-The-Go cable. It charges rapidly due to the Fast Charging technology aboard. MicroUSB v2.0 port is the point of entry of the charger and the OTG cable.
Another aspect everyone looks up to in smartphones is the camera segment. ASUS Zenfone Max M2 doesn’t disappoint in this category though. A simple 8MP sony sensor discharges selfie roles at the front while two 13MP and 2MP cameras execute awesome images at the rear. The rear cameras, however, have the dual-LED flash to illuminate images in the dark.
