Asus ZenFone 3 Max smartphone launched, packs a 4100 mAh battery

The ZenFone 2 Max launched in May and it’s only been a few months with the third variant now releasing: the ZenFone 3 Max. Like its predecessors, the Max 3 launches in two different models--a 5.2-inch version at a price of Rs 12,999 and 5.5-inch model--the higher-spec'd of the two--which will retail at Rs 17,999. It will be available in three colors including titanium grey, glacier silver and sand gold .The USP of the device is its 4100mAh battery present in both the models. 

In terms of specifications, the two are quite similar: the lower-priced 5.2-inch variant has an HD display, and is powered by a quad-core MediaTek processor coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD.) On the camera front, there is a 13-megapixel rear shooter and 5-megapixel front camera.

The higher variant sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC that is based on on an octa-core processing platform. It harbours a 3GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage, expandable up to 128GB just like its sibling. On the optics, it features a 16-megapixel camera on the rear and an 8 megapixel on the front. 

Both the phones will run Android Marshmallow out of the box, skinned with Zen UI 3.0 on the top. Both of the devices also function as a power bank that enables the phone to charge other USB devices via a USB OTG adapter.
