Dubbed as a slightly better variant of the earlier launched Zenfone 3 Max, the new device packs in a pretty impressive 5000 mAh battery inside but what apart from that?

Performance is average Sub-par camera performance Over-heating while gaming for long sessions Audio Output from speaker is not impressive

Compact design ; Excellent battery life ; Android 7.0 Nougat

Mediocre performance ; Lower display pixel density
