I saw this most affordable in this particular line-up in it's recent smartphone series launch a few months ago but when Asus Philippines just gave me a go-signal to this one on my review table, a different perspective came in compared from what I saw at the demo area.
Here is the Asus Zenfone 4 Max and it's box. The design language is different as expected compared to our previous unboxing of Asus Zenfone 2 Laser
Here is the Asus Zenfone 4 Max and the picture when I put in the included protective silicon-based cover. When I had a little chit-chat with one of ASUS PH officials, I really said that it looks a bit of Asus Zenfone 3 Max which is not bad.
I appreciate that the Taiwan-based brand included a USB OTG cable (silently screaming that it has OTG support) in the mix of the usual essentials like 5V 2A travel charger, earphones with extra earbuds for different ear sizes, micro USB to USB cable and user manual,
I am aware that the phone has 4,100 mAh battery inside and even for a budget SRP of Php 7,999, the phone is quite light and the overall bodyt looks good. I recommend to use the protective case as there's a bit of camera bump.
Watch out for our review soon of Asus Zenfone 4 Max soon.
