Asus had made its root strong by launching Zenfone5 but they wanted to cover whole market by launching Zenfone 2Max.
Apart from many mid-range and high-end phones offering batteries with capacities in excess of 3000mAh, smartphones such as the Gionee Marathon M5 and Lenovo Vibe P1 have gone above and beyond the norms with 6020mAh and 4900mAh batteries respectively.

They launched many devices in Zenfone 2 series that’s why many users are confusing between these phones. The user doesn’t know which phone they bought and which one is don’t. If they launch their some gadget with another lineup then customers could choose perfect phone for their self.
In this series their next device is Zenfone 2 Max . They announced it in August with some attractive features. In this series company always launched phones with some minor changes. In their every gadget we saw just some hardware or software changes. Mostly they all have common features, may be they are in hardware or software. The Max device also not different than other devices, it also got some minor changes in its core. The changes are minor but they make it different than others, like this one got battery power which is more than other and make it best power device in the market.

Look and Design
The ZenFone range from Asus is known for uniformity, and the ZenFone Max sticks to the aesthetic formula that makes every Asus smartphone instantly recognisable. From the distinct concentric circles design on the chin to the off-screen capacitive soft keys, the Max sticks to the brief and does practically nothing to stand out. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it makes it harder to tell the difference between a premium Asus device and a budget one such as this.
The ZenFone Max is available in two colour variants: black and white. The white variant has a dull, smooth finish at the back, while the black variant has a leather-like texture. The phone has a rounded gold plastic strip running along the sides, with a slight rounding off on the back panel which helps with grip and feel. The 3.5mm socket and Micro-USB port are at the top and bottom respectively, while the notification light is at the front, just next to the earpiece.
Many other Asus products including the identically priced ZenFone 2 Laser have the power and volume keys at the top and back. This strategy was a bit of a hit-or-miss, and users either loved it or hated it. With the ZenFone Max, Asus has adopted a safer approach and gone with traditional button placement on the right edge of the phone. The back panel is removable, and the SIM and microSD slots sit under that. In another departure from typical Asus design, the battery is not user-replaceable, although it is visible under the hood.
Due to the shifting of the volume keys, the back is now plain looking, with the speaker grille at the bottom and the flash, camera and laser autofocus window at the top. The Asus and ZenFone logos are printed on the back for the white variant, while the black variant has the Asus logo embossed. We prefer the look of the black variant, because of its texturing.

Display
It also has same 5.5-inch display like its other brothers. In this year many smartphones are releasing with this size so you can say it is perfect size for many peoples. The display quality is 1280x720p resolution. We think it is quite lower than any other competitors such as Lenovo K3 Note and Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 device which comes with 1080p resolution screen. It measures 267ppi pixel density which is average in this range when others are coming with at least 300ppi pixel density. It uses IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and support multi touch function. For the screen protection they covered it with it toughest Corning Gorilla Glass 4 technology for saving it from unwanted scratches and damages.
Although the screen itself is decent in terms of brightness and colours, at this size the lack of detail and sharpness is visible because of the lower pixel density. This has presumably been done to keep the costs down and ensure energy efficiency, since it takes considerably less power to run a 720p screen than a more detailed 1080p one. For basic users who are more concerned with battery life, the screen should prove to be more than adequate.

Specifications
The device powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset. The processor is Cortex A53 quad-core and locked at 1.2GHz. Also to give it little boost it has Adreno 306 GPU core. Also to give it little boost it has Adreno 306 GPU core. Along with it you will see 2GB RAM on it. Company said with the combination of processor and RAM you could feel world class experience. The Snapdragon 410 is built for mid range gadgets so we doubt that it could handle high graphics games without any lags. But for the basic usage it is good chipset and also it has 2GB RAM so you could use it last longer even in heavy tasks. If you are not gamer then processor is enough for you in the everyday use.

The primary SIM slot supports 4G connectivity (Indian bands supported), while the secondary slot is limited to 3G connectivity. The expandable storage slot supports microSD cards up to 64GB, and the phone also supports USB OTG. Although the ZenFone 2 Laser and ZenFone Max are practically the same size and thickness, the latter is much heavier at 202g.
As mentioned, the only major difference between the two is the larger battery, which is the signature feature of the ZenFone Max. The 5000mAh battery on the Max is a massive improvement over the 3000mAh unit on the ZenFone 2 Laser, and coupled with the efficient Snapdragon 410 SoC and HD screen, promises excellent battery life.

Software
The Asus ZenFone Max runs Android Lollipop 5.0, with the company's faithful ZenUI skin on top. We've stated before that this is one of the better Android user interfaces in terms of customisability and controls, and its remains so with the ZenFone Max. There are lots of ways to set the phone up to your liking, from motion gestures to quickly wake the phone or launch apps, to various power management and UI display settings.
Unfortunately, the interface is still full of Asus apps and other bloatware, which makes the phone feel excessively loaded and bloated. As a result, about 50 apps needed to be updated on start up, and the interface splits even basic phone functionality into various apps that can be updated separately rather than keep them tied to the interface. Functions such as the dialer, camera, contact list and gallery all have separate apps with their own update schedules This means that the software and its apps will need updating far more often, but is lighter on the system and allows for better efficiency. From a user's point of view, apart from a bit of work at the start and regular updating of apps, the software is capable and efficient enough.

Camera
These days all mid range devices comes with at least 13MP back camera and 5MP front camera. This one also comes with 13MP back camera and 5MP front camera. We think this is the best one for photographers and selfie-geeky users. The quality of camera is ok and it can produce better picture quality in low light visibility. The added features with camera are laser autofocus, dual LED flash, touch focus, autofocus, geo-tagging, face detection, HDR and panorama which make it perfect camera. You can also capture 1080p videos at 30fps from back camera.

The camera app, too, remains unchanged from what we've gotten used to seeing on Asus devices. There are plenty of camera modes and manual settings for both stills and video, and effects such as slow motion, HDR, time lapse, panorama and beautification continue to offer plenty of great options for camera lovers. It might be a bit too complicated for some, but auto mode simplifies everything to reasonable levels. Additionally, video recording, flash toggle, and camera switching are easily accessible from the default screen.

The camera itself is, as expected, identical in performance to the Asus ZenFone 2 Laser. Pictures are decent in indoor settings, be it well-lit or dark, and outdoor shots tend to be washed out with regard to brighter areas. Heavily sunlit areas often appear completely white, but the rest of the colour spectrum is accurate and clear, with pictures being sharp, detailed and dramatic when properly composed.
The laser autofocus system continues to work wonders when shooting close-ups and indoor shots, quickly and accurately focusing on the subject matter. Within a closed environment, pictures are incredibly detailed, and the camera quickly adjusts to slight movements and shakes. Taking the camera outside renders the laser autofocus somewhat ineffective, but as with the ZenFone 2 Laser, the Max reverts to contrast detection methods to focus. The front camera is satisfactory for most basic requirements as well. On the whole, it remains a competent camera indoors with slight weaknesses when shooting outdoors.

On Hand Performance
The performance of fine according to me is like high end price segment and it will give  strong competition to other phone in its price segment.
Games such as Dead Trigger 2 and Real Racing 3 ran smoothly, and typical battery drain and heating were lower than usual as well. Our test videos ran smoothly as well, and the interface is acceptably decent to use. Swiping between screens and settings, as well as opening apps are all done satisfactorily.
Benchmark figures are nearly identical to the numbers we saw on the Asus ZenFone 2 Laser as well. The ZenFone Max produced scores of 24,683 and 14,494 in AnTuTu and Quadrant respectively, along with 9.3fps and 5264 in GFXBench and 3DMark Ice Storm. As we've already mentioned in this review, the ZenFone Max is essentially a ZenFone 2 Laser with a larger battery.

To satisfy need of basic users they came with two storage models one is 8GB and second one is 16GB. There is no any other option for internal storage. If you want to buy it then you must choose in between these two versions. It would be better if they come with 32GB and 64GB models so heavy users could store their data into it. Thank God, it has external memory option where you can upgrade your storage space up to 128GB, which is quite impressive. If you like to capture images and videos or you always store your music and song videos in your smartphone then you can choose external microSD card to store your all data.

Battery
This is the main part of the device which I am talking about. In this department company made change which is impressive and mind blowing. This device is packed with huge 5000mAh battery which makes it one of the monster gadget in the industry. With the bigger battery you can run it easily for whole day in heavy tasks. Enjoy music videos or play any games on it without any worry.

Also included with the Asus ZenFone Max is a 1A/5V charger that is horribly inadequate for a phone with a battery of this size. The phone takes over five hours to completely charge up from zero to 100 percent, and supplying a fast charger or incorporating some form of fast charging technology with high-capacity phones such as this is absolutely necessary in our opinion. We'd recommend that you buy a reliable high-speed charger if you choose to buy the ZenFone Max.

Conclusion
With more and more users getting concerned with deteriorating battery life on their smartphones, the idea of the big battery smartphone has gained popularity. Recent efforts from Gionee and Lenovo have proven to be capable, but Asus has the distinction of being the first manufacturer to offer a decent super-battery smartphone at under Rs. 10,000. The ZenFone Max is designed around optimizing energy usage, and apart from being significantly heavier, sticks to the ZenFone aesthetic in all other ways.
It comes with minor changes like as in a battery but this change makes it better phone. If you always worry about battery life of your gadget or you always roam outside without optional battery then I recommend you to buy this monster phone. Its other features are also good to satisfy your need, so if you are looking for smartphone with bigger battery then you can choose it.
