What the Critics Are Saying...

Were it not for its ginormous battery, the ZenFone 4 Max would probably be considered just another fish in the sea of Android smartphones. However, if long battery life is of relevance to you, the ZenFone 4 Max is definitely worth considering.

It's aimed at someone who wants the best bang for their buck, even if this phone does not fit that criterion.

Asus’ first of the Zenfone 4 lineup has us encouraged. Retailing for $200, competition is plentiful, but the Zenfone 4 Max makes a respectable case for itself. We love how fluid and snappy the device is, throwing in a gigantic battery didn’t hurt either. Better yet, it doesn’t feel...
