Looking at the box itself, the asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1) has a rather simplistic design. Blue background with the phone printed in a way that Gong Yoo gestured during the ZenFone 4’s launch in Taiwan last August.
Sliding the sleeve off reveals a box that houses its one & only item inside – the included TPU case. Beneath that box is the ZenFone Max Plus (M1), and underneath the phone are the accessories. Surprisingly, hãng asus included an ample amount of accessories in the box.
In total, you’ll get the the usuals – a charger, a micro USB cable, a pair of earphones alongside with 2 different sizes of eartips, user guide, warranty information, the aforementioned TPU case, và also an OTG cable.
The hãng asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1)Looking at the ZenFone Max Plus (M1), the first thing you’ll realize for sure is the screen. Hãng asus finally has a smartphone in their lineup that has the FullView display. For those who don’t know what FullView display is – it’s the name we’ve come lớn use to điện thoại tư vấn those 18:9 aspect ratio displays in smartphones.
ASUS is actually quite late into the party. We first saw smartphones with elongated screens on the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ and the LG G6. Then, other smartphone brands start to lớn have such displays, và it took hãng asus about 9 months lớn release a điện thoại with 18:9 aspect ratio into the market for consumers.
With that said, ASUS’s 1280×720 pixels 18:9 – empirically it’s 2:1 – FullView display looks alright. It’s certainly bright enough, but the colors are a little washed out compared to the best IPS LCD screen that I’ve seen.
As the display gets larger and the screen-to-body ratio gets higher, there really isn’t much space khổng lồ stuff all the other electronics lượt thích sensors, earpiece, and selfie camera. That’s why all smartphones with FullView display has gone away with physical capacitive keys in favour of on-screen buttons. Should’ve done it long ago, as on-screen buttons offer a lot more flexibility through software.
It’s quite a departure from ASUS’s ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro that we reviewed here, to be honest, though the back of the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) remains more or less similar with the other ZenFone 4 Max series of smartphones.
The fingerprint scanner has been moved lớn the rear và properly positioned for the natural hand grip. Up above at that corner is where the dual-camera setup is found – which leads us nicely into the next segment of this review.
ScreenAs we just mentioned, the 18:9 screen is a total change from what we’re used to. Seriously, by increasing just a little in height, it might not seem much. However, the change in user experience is just significant.
Though asus only used a 720p 18:9 display for the ZenFone Max Plus (M1), it still looks rather decent. ZenUI did have a few changes to accommodate the new changes, too. ZenUI now has features to control ứng dụng scaling và it works pretty well, too. Most of the apps we used on the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is already able lớn scale to the 18:9 aspect ratio properly.
Let’s not forget that the new ZenUI also has rolling screenshot – you can take a super long screenshot within a single image. Neat.
Cameras
While the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is indeed a budget điện thoại cảm ứng that touts its large screen with a large battery, they didn’t skimp out on the cameras. The amount of cameras, I mean.
The ZenFone Max Plus (M1) comes with two rear-facing cameras, one prime lens và another wide-angle lens. The prime has a 16MP sensor with f/2.0 35mm lens with PDAF, whereas the wide-angle has an 8MP sensor with 17mm lens – no autofocus. Quite common among smartphones with wide-angle lens, by the way.
As for the selfie camera, there’s an 8MP sensor with f/2.0 25mm lens.
Let’s have a talk about the battery. Of course, since the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) does have the Max moniker in the name. All of the ASUS’s ZenFone Max series of smartphones have large batteries – & the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is no exception. It’s equipped with a 4,130mAh battery.
Throughout our battery life test, a fully charged ZenFone Max Plus (M1) can easily last for 10 hours+ of usage. Performance hiccup does occur, but it’s only noticeable on apps (games mostly) that requires more processing power.
The charger, however, is a little disappointing. Having a 5V 2A charger, it takes up to 3 hours+ worth of charging time lớn get the phone fully charged to lớn 100% from a near flat battery level. Though, since the ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is meant khổng lồ be a budget điện thoại cảm ứng thông minh after all, the price does justify the slower charger.
VerdictHonestly, the ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1) isn’t really a beast when it comes khổng lồ performance – it is a budget oriented điện thoại cảm ứng thông minh after all. However, its 18:9 aspect ratio display và huge battery life is what makes the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) worth to lớn be considered.

As a new addition to the Max series, it does live up to lớn the name with its impressive battery life. As someone who rarely travels with power nguồn bank, the 10 hours+ worth of battery life and reverse charging capability of the ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1) is what I value the most.
