Asus Zenfone Max M1 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
For what it`s worth, ASUS would have been better off naming these two phones differently. The Zenfone Max Pro M1 was one of the best affordable phones to come out this year and these phones do not reflect the same quality. You still get decent overall performance, good battery life with the Max M1, and compact form factor but there is nothing particularly compelling about these offerings. You will be able to buy the Zenfone Max M1 for a retail price of Rs 7,499 from Flipkart, whereas the Zenfone Lite L1 can be picked up for Rs 5,999. Other offerings in the segment, like the Xiaomi Redmi 6A (r...

What works
+
Buying a phone with a pocket-friendly price tag shouldn't involve a compromise in terms of design and aesthetics. Thankfully, both the Zenfone Max M1 and the Lite L1 come with compact and lightweight form factors, so we don't have to deal with major compromises on this front. With the 4,000mAh battery capacity, you might think that the Max M1 might be a little on the bulkier side, but since the phones are primarily made out of plastic, they feel extremely light in the hand. The notch design has still not made inroads into this category but you are still served slim bezels on all sides of the display.

What doesn't work
+
We have made references to the Zenfone Max Pro M1 quite a few times by now, mostly because the company has given a similar name to the new handsets, but performance is where the stark difference comes into play. Both the Max M1 and Lite L1 are fuelled by Snapdragon 430 SoCs, which is not comparable to the Snapdragon 636 found on the Pro variant. As you might expect, the Max M1 comes with slightly beefed up internals out of the two. The Lite L1 comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, which can be expanded up to 256GB through a microSD card. The Max M1 gets you 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage to drive the operating system.
