Quick Review of Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL

The display is good with the 5.5inches screen. But the HD resolution is a lower grade, but it also protects the energy consumption, hence we can allow it to some extent. But, in a 5000mAh battery device, what is the need to reduce the resolution to save energy?

The snapdragon 615 Octa-core processor is average for the mid-level device. A 3GB RAM is good for people using the smartphones heavily like playing high memory and graphical games and doing multitasking a lot. The 2GB RAM is enough for many people who use the smartphone casually.

Cameras are average. The rear camera has some good features like laser autofocus. Battery is the selling point of this smartphone. The massive 5000mAh battery can provide backup for two days in case of casual use. For heavy use, it can stand for more than 16 hours easily.
