HIGHLIGHTS
  • The ZenFone Max M1 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC
  • It has a 4000mAh battery and offers good battery life
  • It will be sold at Rs. 7,499 during Flipkart Festive Dhamaka Days sale
Asus' smartphone division seems like it has been charged with new energy this year and the strategy seems to be capturing one segment at a time. We saw the first attempt at this with theZenFone Max Pro M1₹ 10,999 (Review), a power-packed phone on a budget. It was aimed squarely at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro₹ 12,736 (Review) and has made a place for itself in the market. The second attempt was theZenFone 5Z₹ 29,999 (Review) which was equipped to take on the OnePlus 6(Review), mangling to undercut it to quite an extent. Asus is now planning to try the same strategy again with theZenfone Max M1, and has Xiaomi's Redmi 6 series in its crosshairs. With prices starting at Rs. 8,999, can the ZenFone Max M1 be the go-to phone in the segment? We put it to the test to find out.

Asus ZenFone Max M1 design
The Asus ZenFone Max M1 carries the family look and reminds us of the ZenFone Max Pro M1. The phone is made primarily out of plastic and comes in Black and Gold colour options. We had the Gold one for review. Sticking to the trend of big screens, the Max M1 sports a 5.45-inch display with 2.5D curved glass on top. It has considerable borders all around, which is acceptable considering its price.
A selfie camera, earpiece, and proximity sensor are accommodated above the display. We found the build quality of the Asus ZenFone Max M1 to be average, but we liked the clickiness of the power and volume buttons on the right side. On the left, there is a SIM tray.
