First of all, it’s called Max Pro probably because of two reasons. One, the battery is a massive 5,000 mAh battery which is just super amazing. And it lets you expand storage by 2 TB - that’s like 2000 GB of space - which is crazy! The heavy duty battery, also makes the phone’s weight at 180 gms and thickness at 8.5 mm which can be considered mildly thick in today’s day and age.
It’s got a 6 inch display, so obviously it’s a bit too big for convenient one-handed use, though it’s not impossible, but you will definitely feel it’s a little wide. But again, that’s fine because that’s a trade off you make for a massive display which immerses you in content.
Coming to the performance of the Zenfone Max Pro, the 1.8 GHz Octa Core Snapdragon 636 processor along with 3 GB RAM do a decent enough job to ensure that you sail through the day without any hang ups. While, it’s not going to be super fast as you might see in the flagships device, you can expect pretty decent performance. Apps would launch fairly quickly but they obviously won’t be lightening fast. Launching games might take some time, but again, for a budget smartphone I think the Zenfone has come a long way.
Playing some of the really high definition games like Chameleon Run was really smooth and absolutely free of any jitters, lag or hiccups. The game ran smoother than any other budget smartphone that I’ve ever played on - thanks to Adreno 509 GPU.
At the back you have a dual camera setup which is great to see in this price range. It’s a combination of a f/2.2 13 MP camera and a f/2.4 5 MP camera with LED flash. Unbelievably, the camera records at 4K resolution at 30 fps and Full HD 1080p videos at 60 fps which means very smooth full HD videos.
Some competitors to consider:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
Samsung Galaxy J6
Motorola G6

After the updates of Asus, would you still recommend RN5 pro or Asus ZenFone max Pro in case of camera ??

[@rajas2774]

Neelanjan Maiti I'm using Asus ZenFone Max pro from last 2 days. I would say Asus is far better than Redmi note 5 pro... Only two things is missing in Asus when compared with Redmi note 5 pro That's infrared and the front selfie cam clarity.

[@neelanjanmaiti1700]

man soo thanks ... Looks like I will go with Asus

[@rajas2774]

Neelanjan Maiti go for it and have a good luck to buy it on flash sale today. It vanishes in 5 secs as its on flash sale. I tried 3,4 times succeeded last 31st may

[@neelanjanmaiti1700]

man soo atleast better than the flash sale of RN5 pro😂

[@neelanjanmaiti1700]

man soo Also... As I see it has a single LED Flash.. so does that mean it struggles in low light as compared to RN5 Pro or Moto g6?

Sir can you make the video showing it's expandable memory to 2TB

[@PriyanshuSingh-db4eq]

Simarjeet Gharu 2tb sd card are not available as of yet

[@theriser1999]

Vishal Bhardawaj what about 2TB hard disk

[@R5DJ]

the reason why ASUS is so good? is because! it is made in "Taiwan" as well as their factory. and not in China, it is not outsourced so that Xiao Mi, Oppo, One+ & mostly all chinese moblie phone makers cannot copy the "Fruit" of ASUS's R&D Team.

[@kakakakkekeke7727]

EIS?

[@mobiscrub]

nah!

[@eim4169]

mobiscrub EIS @ 1080p

[@user-oz3pq5bt5o]

Aaron Isaac you'll get it after August's security patch update fo so

[@R5DJ]

by the way; you Hindis (not a racial statement) got so fooled by the overly hyped ads of the OnePlus 6. OnePlus is actually Oppo hiding in plain sight to make more profit.

[@user-oz3pq5bt5o]

Dizzy Fate you're right but OnePlus is kinda a superior quality of oppo tho

[@R5DJ]

SARJ_STONE do you know that One Plus is OPPO hiding in plain sight? the OP on their names (OP = Over Priced) not superior, but recycled quality. because the factories are in china. you can make your own smartphone the way you like it there.

[@user-oz3pq5bt5o]

Dizzy Fate omfg yeah I didn't think about that maaan, But I knew oppo and vivo are the mom and dad of OnePlus lol

[@R5DJ]

SARJ_STONE Now you see the light. anyway, Vivo is its own company. Oppo & One plus are one, operating in the same building, separated by a floor/ceiling. share this knowledge and don't be fooled again. peace!

[@user-oz3pq5bt5o]

Dizzy Fate thanks for sharing man, appreciate it
