- The Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL features a solid build with dimensions of 154 x 76.9 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 181g, available in Deepsea Black, Sunlight Gold, and Rose Pink.
- It sports a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset, a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU, and 3GB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday tasks.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP rear camera with a secondary 5 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 8 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- A standout feature is the 5000 mAh battery, which offers extended usage without the need for frequent charging.
- The device runs on Android 7 (Nougat) with ZenUI 4, providing a user-friendly interface.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
