Asus Zenfone Max - The BIG REVIEW

By -
ASUS generated a lot of hype and interest in 2015 with its devices, especially the ZenFone lineup. Carried across by the ZenFone 2 and its variants, along with other smaller ZenFone variants like the ZenFone 2 Laser and ZenFone Selfie, ASUS created a lasting impression on the mind of the budget consumer. To bank upon the recent success, ASUS has released the ZenFone Max in the Indian market. This device was unveiled in IFA Berlin 2015, and is now available for pre-booking in India.

PROCESSOR



The ZenFone Max is powered by a quad-core, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 410 processor that clocks at 1 GHz. With 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM, the processor pushes multitasking further, allowing users to play 3D games or edit HD videos seamlessly. The device features LTE Category 4 for download speeds of up to 150Mbps and Dual SIM standby.


DISPLAY & DESIGN




Interestingly enough, it’s not a 1080p display fashioned onto this one, but rather, a 5.5-inch 720 x 1280 IPS panel. Some people will lament over the reduction in its resolution over the Zenfone 2, but quite frankly, it doesn’t deteriorate its sharp looks and punchy color tones. Of course, the choice to go with a 720p screen means that it’s not much of a battery hog.


CAMERA



For the camera, the device features a 13MP rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture, laser autofocus and dual LED flash; and a 5MP camera on the front. The Zenfone 2 isn’t one we’d classify as being the supreme phone for hardcore shutterbugs, but its quality suffices for those who don’t plan on doing much with them besides sharing via social network site.


SOFTWARE

This phone is running Android 5.0 Lollipop. It combines rich personalization of the interface of Zen UI and some productivity features – albeit, it just doesn’t have the true multi-tasking features found on other interfaces.

MEMORY



ASUS Zenfone Max has 2GB RAM and will comes with 16GB internal storage option; it will support microSD cards of up to 64GB capacity.

BATTERY



The phone packs a long-lasting 5000 mAh lithium-polymer battery. It boasts a standby time of 38.1 days. With up to 37.6 hours of talktime on 3G or 32.5 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing, the device has enough juice to keep up with any power user. The ZenFone Max can even be used to charge other compatible devices.

PRICE

It is priced at a budgetary Rs. 9999/- and available via Flipkart and Amazon as pre-orders.




The ZenFone Max looks like a very ordinary device that would exist in the low-mid range. There isn’t too much to talk about in this phone that isn’t in every other phone, save for one feature: it’s large battery. Powering the ASUS ZenFone Max is a large 5,000 mAh Li-Po battery. To make use of the sheer capacity of the battery, the ZenFone Max can turn into a powerbank and be used to charge other devices.

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualifi...

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

By -
Image
Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too ...

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

By -
Image
T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero...
