Asus Zenfone 3s Max Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.0/5
Verdict
The ASUS ZenFone 3S Max promises exceptional battery life in a compact, premium-looking form factor, and it definitely delivers on that promise. However, it falls short of being an all rounder… failing to impress on a lot of other counts, including performance and camera image quality. Its problems are compounded when the competition is brought into the picture - devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (review), the Honor 6X (review) and the Coolpad Cool1 Dual (first impressions) come across as better all rounders in the same price range. If you’re after a compact option, the Lenovo Z2 Plu...

The ASUS ZenFone 3S Max promises exceptional battery life in a compact, premium-looking form factor, and it definitely delivers on that promise. However, it falls short of being an all rounder… failing to impress on a lot of other counts, including performance and camera image quality. Its problems are compounded when the competition is brought into the picture - devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (review), the Honor 6X (review) and the Coolpad Cool1 Dual (first impressions) come across as better all rounders in the same price range. If you’re after a compact option, the Lenovo Z2 Plus (review) is also an attractive contender with its Snapdragon 820 chip, despite its niggles. In sum, the ASUS ZenFone 3S Max is a decent option if you want a premium-looking, compact daily driver with superb battery life, but if you want more, there are better options out there to consider.
Pros
- Stylish and compact
- Very good battery life
- Runs Nougat out of the box
Cons
- Sluggish at times
- Screen isn`t full HD
- Camera quality could be better
- No fast charging

The good
+
The 5,000mAh battery of course, is the mainstay of the ASUS ZenFone 3S Max. Before we get to that however, let us talk about what we think is the real highlight of the phone - its design. The ZenFone 3S Max rocks a 5.2-inch display covered with 2.5D curved glass. Encased in an aluminium alloy body, the handset looks rather nice with its rounded corners and curved rear. The in-hand feel is great, and looking at how compact and lightweight (175g) the phone is, you won’t be able to guess it packs such a powerful battery.

The bad
+
Unfortunately, the list of negatives is a tad longer than the positives for the 3S Max. Packing a powerful battery is nice, but since the 3S Max lacks fast charging, it takes a while to juice up. Expect to charge it fully in a little over 3 and a half hours.
