Comparisons Featuring Asus Zenfone 4 Max Pro ZC554KL
Short Review
- The Asus Zenfone 4 Max Pro ZC554KL features a solid build with dimensions of 154 x 76.9 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 181g, utilizing a glass front and aluminum back.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday use but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 or 430 chipset, paired with a quad-core or octa-core CPU and Adreno 308 or 505 GPU, providing adequate multitasking capabilities with up to 3GB of RAM.
- The camera system includes a 16 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and PDAF, capable of recording 1080p video, while a 16 MP front camera caters to selfies.
- A robust 5000mAh battery ensures extended usage, supporting 18W charging but lacking wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 7 (Nougat) with ZenUI 4, offering a user-friendly interface.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in Deepsea Black, Sunlight Gold, and Rose Pink, providing a range of aesthetic choices.
- Notably, it retains a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Zenfone 4 Max Pro balances decent specifications with a focus on battery life and camera performance.
