High specs low prices flagship? I don’t think Asus ever sells such a product, even their midrange phones are quite expensive compared to competitors.

[NcrebelRS]

Longetivity is the number one thing I look for in a device.

1:34 Like how Samsung replace TouchWiz with Samsung Experience UI, I'm hoping that ASUS will replace the ZenUI with something better, more productive and better performance.

Mediatek chips doesn't get Android updates that often compared to Snapdragon so keep that in mind.

I don't understand why midrangers from all these companies are lacking USB type C and fast charging.
Fast charging is not a flagship feature now a days.
Companies need to upgrade and not degrade.

Amazing phone ever!!! 2018 generation!!! ❤❤❤

Zenfone line up surely has the most confusing naming scheme ever. This is zenfone max plus, apart from that, they also have zenfone 4 max and zenfone 4 max pro which still have their own variant. Dem.

[alexanderivarson]

How did they go from a One Plus competitor for power budget phones to this shiiiit

[milanjeswani]

[blakewilkinson]

[MrFako]

Please dont insult this phone not all people can afford iPhone X 😡

[BMWROYAL]

Why didn’t they just use stock android

[mackygreen]

The reviewer's voice TOTALLY says he's not interested in this phone.

[luckywang]

big battery but no fast charging jsut sucks. i cant forgot the time it took almost 1 full day to charge my tablet...

[bayusetiawan]

Actually, MT6750 is on par with snappy 435 for it perfomance and benchmark(even better), so bassically max plus m1 is new version of 4max pro with mtk chipset. Plus, this phone is having 4/64 config, 18:9 screen and face id unlock. However, in my Country, max plus M1 price is more cheap than 4 max pro.

"it's still using Micro USB" *clicks off of video*

[babayevsky]

To me that didn't look like wide-angle AT ALL. That was just a switch between 16:9 and 4:3

[thefarstar]

Wtf is with all this hate on ZenUI? I find it to be a hell of a lot better than vanilla Android. The standard apps drawer is disgusting.

[Arif-jcbu]

another crappy loong confusing name, still using that mtk and another bombastic tagline yet mediocre performance, oh and that zen ui is sucks.. surely asus will struggling if they don't change the way how to deliver great user experience
