The ZenFone Max has the stamina to go the distance, and lets photo-lovers see the bigger picture with a wider range of creative options — all in a stylish metallic-finished design that is ergonomic and comfortable to hold.

Max Display

The 5.5-inch full-view HD+ (720 x 1440) display in the ZenFone Max has an ultrawide 18:9 aspect ratio and ultrathin bezels that give the ZenFone Max a high screen-to-body ratio; allowing for an amazingly compact and ergonomic body that's no larger than most standard 5-inch smartphones.

The greatly expanded viewing area makes viewing photos and watching widescreen videos incredibly immersive and when browsing, the web there is less need for scrolling. Multitasking is also easier, as two apps fit comfortably side-by-side on the screen.

The slim and elegant size, premium metallic finish and 2.5D-curved front edges of the ZenFone Max make it exceptionally comfortable to hold, with significantly less bulk than a standard 5.5-inch phone. It is available in three gorgeous colors to match the user's style: Deepsea Black, Sunlight Gold and Ruby Red.
