The device takes a bit long to charge (4 hours according to the company), however they insist that just 15 minutes of charging are enough for 3 hours of talk time or up to 7 hours of video. It packs a 5.5” 1080p screen (IPS) displaying Android 7.0 with ZenUI.
The new Zenfone 4 Max comes with a 13MP dual camera on the back with a 120° field of view, along with an 8MP camera on the front, which can stitch 140° selfie panoramas. It is expected to launch in Russia in the coming days, priced at RUB 13,900 ($235/€205) for the S425 quad-core model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage.
I like Zenfone but I’m not a fan of any skin of Android as for the long charge times I actually prefer slow charging I charge overnight and with great battery life I won’t need a quick top up, besides wide angle is one of the greatest implementations of dual cameras it’s hella practical
