Review: Unboxing ASUS ZenFone Max

James and I have got new power banks!! YAYYYYY.

You must be wondering, why are we so happy over power banks? And if it’s power bank, why are photos of ASUS phone uploaded?

Yes yes, we are not that silly. We know what we are doing. The new ASUS ZenFone Max works as a powerbank as well!! Yayyy. I don’t have to carry two heavy items in my bag anymore! As heavy as it sounds, ASUS ZenFone Max is a lot lighter than expected. I will do a more detailed review on it in my next entry. But the take away message for this post, other than unboxing the unit, is MAX can even charge other phones!!





For an unbeatable price of $249, I wasn’t expecting to find a cool set of earphones in it. Surprisingly, it did come with one, along with two pairs of earbuds, a cable, and a charger.





What I love about this MAX, other than being able to charge other phones and it’s unbeatable price, is the 5.5″ screen! Both of us had Osmium black unit!





It may be dull with just black but what if the sides are Rose Gold in colour? Doesn’t black and rose gold sounds like a good combination?

If you want my take on the phone, it looks sleek and classy. If I don’t know it’s actual retail price in Singapore, I would have thought that one would easily cost at least $500!!





If you are not amazed by how slim and beautiful Max is, then look at the back of the phone.

Although the back is not made of real leather, but gosh, the faux leather made the entire phone even more expensive!! For a price so affordable, let’s not whine about it being not leather. However, if you prefer it to be real, maybe you can look at ZenFone Zoom, which James had previously reviewed here: http://maybelinesim.sg/2016/03/04/unboxing-the-worlds-thinnest-optical-zoom-smartphone-asus-zenfone-zoom/





With a battery life so strong, I can bring this phone out for vacations when I want to pack light and not worry about it dying.

Please come back for a more detailed review of the phone soon 🙂
