Asus Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL - User Reviews

  • This phone is amazing, never had a problem.with it. Love the design and color, perfect prize battery its ok! Already a year or so with it. Nothing bad to say about it. The only thing is that I used to have an older model that had cool camera features this one didn't have all of that.

  • Hi friends...i recently buy this phone and it show message"zenui launcher has stopped" ferequently when it working .....it stop awhile from working and then it ok ..can u please help me ..why i recived this message???is it bug or hardware fault??thanks

  • I have the same problem... after upgrading to 8.1 battery doesn't last very long... and it keeps on overheating... then it just died with red light and black screen... I attached it to the charger more than overnight... then after awhile it became hot again and full charge... and turned ON... at the moment I'm doing the factory reset to make it 7.0 android.

  • Are you still happy with the performance of your phone ,as possibly thinking about buying one and there are mixed reviews? , UK buyer

  • My asus zenfone 4 max zc554kl lcd glass was broken it is not a gorilla glass. It was 1 1/2 years but the glass was broken.. I was dissatisfied for my phone

  • Unfortunately the battery discharges very soon after the android oreo update. It lasts for few hours of working.

  • my phone died over night .When I finished for the night it was a t 78% battery in the morning it was dead and would not charge .What do I do.

  • yup

  • yes Српс&­;#1082;и is available

  • After 1 1/2 year, my zenfone 4 max won't turn on anymore. :(

  • Can anybody help me? I want to buy this phone for my mother. And for her its important that phone have Serbian language. Is anybody know that, or chek it?

  • Does it really have fast battery charging feature? Mine takes more than 3 hours to fully charged.

  • My phone zonfone 4 max but Other specifications Like ram 1.8 g Camera 13 _ 2 Rom 16g

  • Yeah I have been noticing that too. But it still charges quick (well if you put it onto airplane mode)

  • my phone just died just now, it didn't charge, i dunno what happen to if pls help, just died apparently

  • The update to Oreo will cause ur phone to consume more battery %

  • I've bought this phone during its launch and i fell in love with it due to long battery life and good camera. after 9 months of usage with constant updates, i suddenly had problem with it's camera, it failed to load and says camera error using other apps. The problem started since the 2nd to the last update and until now it hasn't been solved. I brought it to service center and they updated it to the latest firmware and fixed the problem but after a few hours, the problem recurred. I will never buy asus phones again. Latestr oreo update is full of bugs.

  • what is the use of updating the software to oreo? HELP PLEASE THANKS .

  • I absolutely love this phone! I picked it up on Amazon.ca for $267 taxes and shipping included. The display is bright and clear battery lasts all day long and I'm a mid power user in terms of remote desktop and remote support apps, plus next to no bloatware! I've always used brand Canadian top tier phones like LG and Samsung where I'm paying out $800 plus for a phone without a contract and I tell you this phone runs neck-and-neck with them easily. At first I was hesitant because Asus is a "computer" company and I've used them for gaming rigs and they're great. But a friend said to me one key statement and my decision was made: "Who better to make an SOC single board device slap a screen on it, make it cost effective, fast, stable and durable than a company that spent its entire life building bad-ass motherboards that overclock without batting an eyelash" So I kinda felt silly when he put it that way, how could I miss that, so took a leap of faith and I've never looked back! I'm about to put Oreo on my phone will definitely check what they're saying on Zen talk first. I am a big fan of if it's not broken don't upgrade it or fix it.. Totally would recommend this phone to anybody who's tired of buying $800 bloatware Samsung's and LG's.

  • This phone doesn't really last for 2 days of active using. If you will not use it all the time it might last for 2 days (maybe just text and no wifi). But what's the sense of buying and not using? I've had this phone for like 2 weeks only and I usually use it for messenger and for chatting. Starting at 8:30 am to 6 pm, the battery from 100% will be 15%. so maybe 7 pm its dead. so I don't know if it really lasts for gaming. So basically the 5000mah is like a click bait. Mostly new phones can last for 2 days. If this new phone won't last for 24 hours, then sooner or later I will be carrying power bank with me coz 48 days is not genuine, not even 24 hours.

  • Update to Android 8.1 Oreo published, more on ZenTalk.

  • this is a very good phone. Battery is still around 80 plus percent after a whole day work

  • change cable charger

  • swipe down notification panel

  • The phone has unresponsive lcd touch screen,can you improve .

  • I have this device. I don´t found FM radio.........

  • Good phone but there is weak in his microphone

  • I got this phone in November after my old Samsung S4 mini tragically died, and just like many other people these days, I encountered problems with slow charging. So I starting freaking out about my battery's health (to the point I never charge it overnight anymore in order to avoid stressing it) and got myself new reinforced Anker cable. But yeah, it was only because of the heat (here in southwestern France we're experiencing temperatures like 30 or 35℃ in the afternoon). I think that's actually a pretty clever choice for improved safety. Kudos to Asus for making sure that their big phone battery doesn't overheat.

  • I got this phone in November after my old Samsung S4 mini tragically died, and just like many people these days, I've encountered problems with slow charging. Here in southwestern France we're experiencing temperatures from 30 to 35°C in the afternoon, so I'm glad to know that it's a normal thing that was implemented for security purposes, and not my battery's health already declining after less than a year of use. It's a good thing that I got worried though, as I decided to look up tips to increase a battery's longevity so now I'm almost never charging my phone overnight in order to avoid stressing the voltage.

  • Yeah. It almost take 5 hours before it can be fully charged. I hate it.

  • does it give blur effect in photos????

  • This phone has super solution on camera and I can play Mobile Legends better and to avoid crashing games, we should keep the temperature low on the phone. The charging takes up to 3 hours my phone can keep up from 24 to 35 hours (including playing games, watching videos for 6hrs, surfing, texting and calling). Beware of watching via OTG because battery will drain faster. Remember it has a reverse charging features

  • This phone is good. I first had this phone since Nov 2017. However, on my first try connecting the internet and using the apps (e.g. Twitter, Google Maps), my phone is kicking me out from it so I just did the reset and it. I think I had that experience for 2 days even the split screen is not working right but after that everything went fine.

  • This is worse than zc550kl which had a plastic body. This one is metal and it is vad design. Every little impact is transferred to the so called gorilla glass screen. I have had its screen shattered twice in three months by falling from only about 1 feet onto wooden surface indoors. Asus will charge you everytime this ever breakable fragile thing falls. Avoid at all costs.

  • I bought this phone for less than 200 $ and I guarantee you, until 2019 / 2020 you won't find anything better for that price.

  • Really? My uptime is 40+ days, meaning that I had to restart it only once after buying it.

  • only after less than a year. now it's acting up. the softkeys doesn't work. already did a factory reset. so it must be the hardware itself. not worth it. plus..it's really slow.

  • yes, this phone is really good! battery is the best, is fast... this cheap for everything it does

  • no

  • The battery is pretty good but not as good as expected of 5 000 mAh, lasts about 1,5-2 days with moderate snapchat and instagram usage. Bad glass, really easy to scratch and the processor is pretty slow. I mainly bought it because of the battery capacity but thought it would at least be somewhat fast. It was MUCH slower than a Galaxy S6 (the phone i had before) and was way worse buildquality-wise. Im really sorry to say that I'm disappointed in this phone mainly because the battery time isn't all that great after all, the phone is probably very power consuming since it has such a high capacity battery.

  • I'm planning to buys this phone. this is worth it?

  • my phone screen has a brown points when the temperature 40 My phone will burn if i donot stop it

  • Regret buying this phone only 4 months but already spoil 2 times no more asus phone

  • I stopped using it after 3 months occasionally missing calls sent it for repair came back with the same issue. Some calls going directly to voice mail no ring no log of call missing. Using T-Mobile same SIM working perfectly on my 2015 Huawei P8 Lite. Very sad because loved this phone.

  • The LCD panel in my phone cracked, yes the warranty is covering it, but I don't know why this happened. No visible damage to the external of the phone.

  • People, do you know how does it behave in concerts (Recording sound f.i.)? Thank you

  • A very good phone

  • For those people saying that their phones take hours to charge, if you're in an area that is very hot, it will take a while due to the temperature. Lithium-Polymer batteries work better in temperatures ranging from 10°C and 30°C, even the manual says that you shouldn't charge the phone when it's over 35°C. The phone is basically increasing charge time to prevent the battery from overheating or breaking. I usually turn off my phone and let it cool down before charging it if it gets hot and takes 2-3 hours to charge. I've also noticed that the battery drains faster if the phone heats up, but testing it in a room that's 18°C or lower, even with heavy use it doesn't drain as fast. Hope this helps!

  • Does this one support NFC? Or is it the 64GB version Asus Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL 4GB 64GB that supports NFC? The latter´s battery is still 5000 mAh? Found several sources claiming either statement

  • I need help.. It takea 4hours to fully charge my fone even it is not zero. Worst is, it takes 5-6hours if i have an empty batt. And it overheats when i use the camera on the beach, even few pictures. After overheating it will hang up... Can anyone help me out? Thank you

  • i buy this last January 2018 at first i observe the battery draining even i use only for texting and calls but the next month i experience now the battery slowly now consuming i ran a youtube for staight 3 hrs watching pubg streams and ros and 20% of my battery just been consumed. i follow some steps that you must drained until it reach to zero % then start charging it while off ill do it 2 times then next i observed the changes

  • Nah, we need to put option to not allow usual dumb customers to post shitty useless comments, which make every phone pile of crap.

  • Been using this phone for 2 months. Updated twice already. I could say that this is one of the best phone I ever had. It's great and the battery is really very very very good. 2 days for wifi, music and games and 4-5 days if for text and calls and a week for standby. Hope this will continue. More power to Asus. Maintain this good quality phones. 😊😊😊

  • If your concern is battery and build quality; definitely Zenfone. But if it is speed go for Motorola.

  • Been using it for over 4 months now, not disappointed with it at all. So far it lasts up to 2-3 days with moderate use and up to a day at most with heavy use.

  • don't hesitate. its a lot of features phone. and indeed a good one. tested by a pro

  • Anyone know that does this phone's wlan support Wireless AC 5G(dual band) ?

  • zenfone max is now available here in Philippines, and im planning to buy it this week, hope it satisfies me

  • I bought new zenfone 4 max drained battery and have it charged for 2 hours reached 82% but after 3 hours still says 82% the reason why I bought this is its battery life . Is it safe to update the system. Theres a lot of feedback saying that they did encounter problems after the upfate.

  • its a good phone,use utube for 5hrs under 80% batt after i still have 15+% batt,also asus did a good job in ZenUi for customizing the phone interface

  • same here bro i think there are already 3 updates i bought it since november 21 2017 sorry for bad english

  • Is it good to update zenfone 4 max or not? Thanks for answering :)

  • 10k less

  • After running all the available system updates and setting up the phone (had to run to carrier and get a new sim card - Micro instead of the previous mini) applications installed and appear to be running smoothly. The system reported battery life after a full charge is 2 -3 days. But as it is just set up we shall see its true performance as it is being used. So far the performance of the rear camera appear very nice. Still pending throughout testing. Only complaint so far is the WiFi appear to be only 2.4GHz instead of both 2.4 and 5.0 That is not a crazy or critical flaw for the usage of the device.

  • it takes 2-3 hours for me on full charge..

  • Same :(

  • Same problem with fast draining battery after update.

  • same issue im experiencing with my Asus ZC554KL(after getting the update) phone is lagging and battery drain too fast!!! ASUS do something about it.

  • absolutely agree with you .... here a lot of comment makes me and maybe many more people confused to buy a phone. read opinion in one or more phone, and you will se all phone is bad.....

  • mine . can last up to 10-12hrs . nonstop playing of Sword Of Romance . with high Resolution ^_^

  • i have the same problem with you . i update may asus to "ww zc554kl 14.2016.1712.226" .

  • Once in awhile, prior to buying a phone, I go to see reviews for a particular brand. Most of those posted here are questions and inquiries best answered by a qualified technician. That sucks. Why don't we just post comments, observations and recommendations about a particular handset brand? This will surely guide new buyers.

  • I upgraded the phone After the battery is upgraded, it quickly becomes empty Is there a way to go back to the factory version? What is the best ROM for this phone? please guide me

  • I have been using this phone for a month more or less. Unfortunately except for the long battery life, I am not really happy with the following: - Notification light colour could not be customized - Notification sound/ vibrate could not be customized for whatsapp After some time I have experience the following: - it hang/ stop while using chrome & whatsapp - no more sound/ vibration/notification fom whatsapp I am going to send the fon to the service centre and hope to revert with good news.

  • mine 2hrs...

  • 2 to 3 hours,

  • great phone!

  • This is the best android version I ever install DU screen recorder.

  • hi, I use camscanner (not afifliated) on an old Galaxy S2 (8Mp) and a Huawei Honor 4x (13Mp)..That sw scans documents correctly for me.

  • Anybody here can tell me how long are u gonna charge ur zenfone 4 max? Mine takes 9 hours and it sucks :(

  • zenfone 4 max pro if you want a better camera and 5000 mah battery :)

  • Pixel density should be (~287 ppi density) 720 x 1280 pixels, 16:9 ratio Not (~401 ppi density) 720 x 1280 pixels, 16:9 ratio

  • zenfone 4 max, zenfone 4 or zenfone 3.5 max??? I don't know what to pick. it seems like the only advantage of this is its 5000mha batt. but I'd like to have a higher camera mp the 13mp.

  • Is it OK for Snapchat???

  • I need your advise, which one is better? This phone or Moto G5S plus? Currently I am using Zfone 3 max, but not really satisfied: 1. After a year usage, the battery drain fast for WA, browsing using data, play PvZ. Longest usage from 04:00 - 20:00 run out power (4100 mAh). 2. Camera is noisy in low light. 3. Oftenly got intermittent voice receiving cellular call. Thanks.

  • Zenfone 4 max and Nokia 6, what do you all prefer?

  • Yes it has a led notification

  • does Asus Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL have notification light like Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL?

  • Its a not bad phone The battery can last 5-6hours in continous gaming with data and it even last more if your using wifi instead of data, if your not a heavy gamer it can last a day or 2 It handles games quite well,tried it in AoV,GTA,NBA2k17and its pretty smooth, I only have problem on Rules of Survival, I tried it and its laggy and you cant maximize the graphics or it will be more laggy The charging time is 2hrs-2 1/2hrs The Camera is not bad its just bad at low light The only problem for me is the screen which is only 720p instead of 1080p but its not that really bad anyways

  • Hi folks, have you tried to use the app called CamScanner ? It works fine and I can scan documents with optimal results, saving it to PDF or JPEG format.

  • Have you ever used this phone to scan documents. Does it work? I'm thinking about buying one, but I need to know if scanning works fine. I had previously bought a Zenfone 3 Zoom and it was a disaster to scan documents. The top part of the page would be fuzzy.

  • its Noisy.

  • have you packed up & went back to pavellion asus ?

  • if you do gaming it might be a good phone, regarding the camera it wasn't that bad it just have some issue in low light environment, the image became so sandy idk if that was the right term for that, and for the battery it took me 2 in a half hours to fully charge from 5% to 100% after a 19-20 hours usage including idle. never useit with data only wifi.

  • dont enable the 2x battery life span it lasted more than 20 hours

  • the flash is yellowish but You can adjust it in Pro setting in 4250 WB to eliminate the yellow light

  • very sandy in low lit

  • Same here, it only last 18hrs for me (9hrs on standby)

  • Yes, camera really is not good

  • Php 9995 srp

  • Camera is really not that good. I had an issue with Play store. Its always download pending. I do a factory reset and fixed by that. Battery Life is good though

  • i thought its just 5k+ in the philippines, huhu my money is not enough to buy this i really like the specs of this phone how sad :'(

  • no phone under $250 can beat lenovo p2 in terms of overall performance except camera, so go for p2

  • i would like to buy this one how much is the price of this asus zenfone 4 max in the philippines?? is this nice phone? is the batt long last? how about the camera?/ please reply i just want to know if this will be good phone for my money not to waste thanks :)

  • It cost 9,995 pesos in the Philippines and will last to 1 day if you use wifi all day. AND 2 days stand by or 3 days

  • I have read all reviews from curious people who were planning to buy this Unit. Fortunately I have the phone just yesterday and here is what I can say about this phone. I read some comments about the charging time to full. some says it takes about 4 hours of charging, but in my Case I only charge my phone for only 1 hour and itas already full. I swear. Battery last longer as What I expected for travel purposes. Octacore is so so real , phone is very aggresive. Dont have SD card yet and have many apps installed. so far I am not experiencing any lagging issue. Freebie, I got free transparent Case. About its weight it is same with zenfone 2 max. What I dont like is, its Camera it does not have a perfect auto focus like zenfone 2 max with laser at the back, also when I use flash either front or main the pictures turns to very yellowish, I refrain from using flash because skin turns to yellow and need to edit the saturation just to make it look normal. also when I try to zoom in the pictures, it breaks Pixel. (I dnt knw the term) like small letters aren't clear when you try to capture a book page lil bit far. I chose this model because im into Battery. If you are a Camera lover I suggest you to buy , Zoom, Selfie, and Laser series. Thank you. And sorry with my English 😁

  • i would like to buy this one how much is the price of this asus zenfone 4 max in the philippines?? is this nice phone? is the batt long last? how about the camera?/ please reply i just want to know if this will be good phone for my money not to waste thanks :)

  • I am going to buy a new smartphone. Since I am looking for one with a larger capacity battery, I have spent quite a long time online checking on various smartphones and reading about them. I have narrowed my choices to the Asus Zenfone 4 Max (ZC554KL) and the Lenovo Vibe P2. I am still undecided as to which smartphone to get so I am hoping that existing Asus Zenfone 4 Max users can share some opinion/insight as to whether I should get it or get the Lenovo one. It seems that the shortcomings or cons (at least experienced by a few users) of the Asus Zenfone 4 Max (ZC554KL) are the following: 1. Battery seems to drain quicker than expected 2. Speaker volume is not louder even when it is at maximum 3. Audio quality is not that good 4. GPS seems to have problem getting a lock on 5. Battery is not fast charging, taking about 4 hours to charge from about 10% to 100% Any feedback is most appreciated.

  • You got the 5.2" model that has 3 GB. The 5.5" model has 4 GB of RAM.

  • Asus Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL is 4 GB while Asus Zenfone 4 Max ZC520KL is 3 GB.

  • why is it better? did u use zenfone 3 zoom before?

  • This happened to me before. Have you tried resetting the phone to its factory defaults? I tried that and it fixed the problem. Just make sure to back up all your data before doing so

  • wash your phone with soap and downy

  • I am using ASUS Zenfone 4 max and I admire it a lot for it's specs. However some applications like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail suddenly stop while opening. And it continuously happening. What am I going to do. Help.

  • Is this really a 4GB ram or 3GB?

  • Asus Zenfone 4 switch the lock option into finger detector into swiping the screen to unlock the phone w/o asking for pin.

  • You have to configure the start-up manager and grant auto-start permissions to the app to run in the background. Only like this you will be able to see messages in real time.

  • Hi Can you please check the specs?? I think this one only has 720p, NOT 1080p as stated on this spec sheet

  • Asus phones have all kinds of problems because their software is really bad.

  • zenfone 4 Max is the complette fiture phone.... all in one...it the best phone

  • RN3 Pro > RN4 Pro > ZM4 Max

  • ASUS is a Taiwanese Co. which can be considered as Chinese also. Do your research man.

  • Asus zenfone 4 Max or Redmi Xiaomi Note 4? Which one is the best choice??

  • yes, 3gb

  • i bought this phone for more than a week and the battery drains quite fast. its supposed to last 2 days but it only lasts 1 day on my phone

  • Gorilla glass??

  • sar values ?

  • does it have an IR blaster?

  • There are 2 versions, 5.2" and 5.5"

  • :)

  • Guys, need some opinion before I buy this phone. I have the 1st zenfone max and ever since I have a problem with my messages. I often missed all the messages and never receive them especially after I connect it to internet. Does this phone has the same problem?

  • I can't find a 1080p Zenfone 4 Max anywhere, does this really exist? You're showing the same model number as the 720p version which is all I can find.

  • correction: 3GB ram

  • I bought other day, its only 3gb ram not 4gb ram

  • I bought other day, its only 3gb ram not 4gb ram

  • Main camera 13MP, Wide Angle 5MP, Front Camera 8MP.

  • and so is redmi

  • 5000mAh battery, amazing

  • I have had this phone for a few weeks and it is a very good mid-ranger. Nothing fancy, but it does a good job with normal daily tasks, the screen is sharp and easy to view, the cameras are good enough for most things, including the wide angle which provides a very different view. I know the ASUS UI is considered clumsy, but it does not get in the way of normal tasks. And of course the battery is awesome. It comes with an OTG adapter which allows you to charge another phone directly. Bottom line unless you need the latest and greatest of everything, for me at least this does what i need it to do.

  • hd or fhd ,,, i read on other website is hd , i think the max pro is fhd

  • Noo its only 9,995 😍 affordable thats why my parents buy it . Asus produce phone that cheap but great 😋

  • Great specs and pricing. Obviously it is not for gamers since this phone only provide snapdragon 430.

  • 720p is HD dude. 1080p is FHD

  • is this phone had launch or not?

  • THIS IS NOT HD BUT 720P PHONE. I REPEAT, NOT HD. Otherwise looks ok. Battery lasts more than 2 days so far. Camera is way faster and better than the Zenfone 3Max.

  • Yeah i just bought this a few days ago. And on my second charge it says itll took 10hrs before full charge but i thought it was just a bug but when i woke up from a 3 hr sleep it says 7 hrs remaining before full charge. So i reboot the phone then.reboot again now it says 1hr 52min befire full charge. If i didnt reboot it maybe itll be fully charged after that 10hrs. It sucks if youll always have to monitor the charging hrs. You have to monitor it and reboot. And it also sucks that you have to wait for the service center to write a letter for your replacement. It wasnt worth the money youve spent.

  • Nonesense

  • 5000 MAH Like Huwwaaaw! :)

  • Let me be the one to buy this phone . so you wont have to make excuses. we don't need to find a set up where someone can but or someone cant . we just have to say our love for ASUS . now is now become a lie. !

  • Sdgn 430

  • Why still not launch in Malaysia...

  • I thinks its around 20K !

  • Thx, you saved me some cash here. Just bought one in a shop that advertised it as having 4GB ram, but indeed it has only 3gb. I found this out after I set it up, so going back tomorrow... Cheers!

  • Pretty sure the one with a FullHD screen isn't true.

  • There is some serious chaos with this model -ZC554KL which on the Asus webpage has the name Zenfone 4- and the the model Asus X00ID which is supposed to be the Zenfone 4 Max. They are almost identical and both bear the same name Zenfone 4 Max for example above in the title but they are NOT THE SAME. the Asus X00ID has only a 720p screen and 3gb memory. It is shocking that Asus seems to be intentionally confusing the customers with a cheaper and less capable but very similar model. Shame on them. I'm not saying the Asus X00ID is a bad phone, but obviously you shouldn't pay the same price for a lower config phone.

  • but what will I do .. my brother has this phone also and when his battery is 57% the remaining time of his battery is 2days left.. but my 3day old phone is 50% but mine is 7hours remaining time. is there any problem,? can I return this?

  • When will this phone comes to indonesia

  • Dual camara is 5MP or 2MP. Normal camera has up to 13MP. But I'm disappointed to see that dual camara even on 5MP takes too pixelled pictures. A 2Mb picture with Zenfone 4 Max has the quality of a 300Kb picture in my old Galaxy S3. If Asus intends to sell the phone because of the dual camera, at least they should have invested in a good optical. Avoid if you're accustomed to Samsung images :( And yes, sadly it has 3Mb RAM, not 4Mb (at least in Spain)

  • I think so, I experienced the same GPS issue on my previous Zenfone 5 Lite. I need GPS badly on my job. Hope this was fixed.

  • Be easy, put lineageos, and have a excelente phone with a pure system.

  • Too much Bloatware just avoid this brand.

  • Asus is also chinese brand to be specific taiwanese but its chinese haha

  • Is the GPS functioning well? I'm currently using Zenfone Max which has the GPS problem.

  • On the Asus website it states that the screen resolution is 1280 x 720 Pixels Display, not as much as you say. Can you check please?

  • Primary camera is Dual 13 MP or Dual 13 MP + 5 MP?

  • Looks like this information came from Asus website. The Asus Store website says only 3Gb.

  • Is this phone really 4gb ram?

  • are you perhaps expecting a triangular phone now?

  • I'm having some issues with the cignal drops, I'm not sure if i'ts with the sim card or not. But I tried using it on my iPad 3 and itbhas full bars of lte and no signal drop, i guess it's with the nougat update.. What the eff

  • I bought the phone, been using for almost month now. totally satisfied, that 5000mah battery is awesome. the phone may not have the flagship killer specs but indeed a great phone. worth the price, worth the money. I would rather trust ASUS than any chinese re-branded phones. ;)

  • You just have to plug it again, wait a couple mins until it says anything below ~"3hrs remaining until full" (because it shouldnt go that long, unless from 0% probably)

  • You have just wasted your money! Hahaha!!!

  • Fair, no noise cancelling so better have a technique when capturing videos with audio.

  • Is Asus Zenfone 4 Max Pro already available in the philippines?

  • Well as I stated earlier, it took the phone about 7 hours to full charge from 15%. It's my second charging and it will be about 4 hours and it is not full from about 50%. The charging of this phone sucks.

  • Is gaming really good on this phone?

  • Yepppppp , I got no lagg when i play those Games

  • Asus zenfone max charging is not bad . Its about 3 hours and 30 minutes 0%-100% when you charge the technique is charge your asus zenfone 4 max when ites 15% so it can be full within 3 hours. 7 hours is not true

  • "Fast charging" is just Asus speak for 10w charging. Basically lies.

  • Return it for a refund. More bugs will come out the more you use an Asus all due to their crap software.

  • It was fully charged for about 7 hours. But, I had to replace the charger with that of my wifi. I hope I won't have trouble with this one.

  • maybe there's something wrong with the charger. try to find out first which one has a problem (phone battery or the charger or the phone itself) and then return it again if necessary. replace if possible?

  • Can anyone help? I returned the first Zenfone 4 max to the shop as I had difficulty in switching it on after 5 days of use. I received the replacement unit yesterday. I used up the battery till about 15% and charged it since 2 pm. It's now 4 hours and it's still charging at about 50%. Is there anything wrong with this second unit? Thanks.

  • how's the sound when you play a recorded video?

  • you did not answered my question.

  • Those are online games? I think its performance are based on the internet speed. :)

  • just replace my Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL. big performance change, it can handle well on games. battery life is good, @ 100% i left my zenfone open and farming afk online game. 12pm until 4.30pm, it has enough juice @40% battery life, on normal use "calls and sms" my zen lasted for 3days. no heating issue. additional camera features but for me it has same quality as zen 3 max. finger print scanner is quite fast..i think if your not that kind of a person who loves to charge a smartphone 2x a day under normal use with bit of gaming zenfone 4 max is your choise..

  • I got mine yesterday but it only has 3GB of RAM, we need to update the details or people might be mislead... I think it's 32GB ROM/3GB RAM - 64GB ROM/4GB RAM?

  • Is this phone is good for gaming and watchin hentais

  • its already available here in the Philippines , maybe not in your country yet

  • full hd is good and also 5.5 inch and 5000 mah

  • please update screen display size its onl7 1280 x 720 267ppi

  • Bought this on sept 20, anf next day when i turned it on, it wont boot up. It just shows the animated zenfone loading, after 15 minutes i had to do a hard restart to turn it off and on again. It worked. I was hoping for a unit replacement, but the seller asked me to observe to see if it will happen again. And Yesterday, it did!!! Im waiting for stocks so i can get it replaced. This is my first zenfone btw.

  • how's the sound when you play a recorded video?

  • Owned it for 3 days today If you are a gaming don't buy this phone I owned 3gb ram 32gb storage 5.5 Lag on Lineage 2 revo medium on mobile legends still don't like the movement I'm not saying its not a good buy but not for gamers :) Buy others If camera fingerprint and storage buy this one :D

  • yes the same thing happened to me it made my life miserable bad investment

  • Plz tell which model you using te me model number

  • Whom do you believe, the GSM Arena or the maker of the Zenfone? Ofcourse the ASUS! DUH

  • I bought zenfone 2 in uae, and it turn out to be crap due to it's poor touch screen, now it's absolutely useless and no way to fix it, the zenfone screens goes out for ghost touch and make your life miserable, stay away from zenfone.

  • its been swapped. 4 max is 3 gb 32 and max pro is 4gb 65

  • Bought and used this phone for 2 weeks now. Tremendous performance for me even though mine is not ZenFone 4 max pro, mine is only the 3gb version but the performance is great because of the processor. I am glad and happy I bought this phone. Gps is fast and precise. Battery last 2 days of uber without charging. Btw their charger install with fast charging so charging 5000mah takes only 2 hours compare to my previous ZenFone max takes up to 4 hours charging. Want to transfer or send data to your friends? Use shareit. You don't even need to think of using Bluetooth anymore. I highly recommend this phone to anyone

  • The gps is super fine. I am an uber driver, and gps is very important to me. It's so fine that when I move a bit, the gps follows. It never jumps or slow down even though internet is slow

  • Zenfone 4 max "PRO" have 4Gb/64Gb while Zenfone 4 max only have 3Gb/32Gb.

  • Have Not NFC ON This phone?

  • this phone has a bad Bluetooth issue.

  • is it true that when you record a video and if the surrounding is quite loud the sound of the video is cracked? please respond, especially filipinos who have purchased it. thanks

  • what do you mean? are you saying it does not have a 4 GB RAM>

  • The 4gb ram is zenfone 4 selfie

  • Any info regarding the GPS performance? Previous Max had problems locking ups GPS.

  • does this phone already available on store? (sorry for x grammar)

  • I like this one.

  • This is 4gb? Why in other store its 3gb

  • I'm going to buy this week... Can't wait!

  • I just liked it but I don't need it.

  • wow! on my way to buy it nxt week ♥ excited much :)

  • I got last 2 weeks superb phone.

  • Two thumbs up for this phone i got last 2 weeks ago i never see a prob. on this phone.

  • I bought this phone 3 days before...the only thing i hate on this phone is the clock widget...because it looks like cloning mobile...the ZenFone 2 and ZenFone 3 series clock widget is appealing than ZenFone 4 series...i asked asus to fix this problem but they said working on it...LoL what a lie...btw the performance, display, battery, and camera is fine...

  • there are options with this phone. you can get it with 32 or 64 GB storage, and 3 or 4 GB RAM. The micro SD slot is separate, and has 2 SIM.

  • is it otg capable? does someone already tried and know the cons of this phone? i am planning to buy once it is released but im afraid

  • The SD slot is not dedicated...

  • It is not true 4gb ram and 64gb internal because I bought right now a Zenfone 4 Max which is 3gb ram only and 32gb internal.

  • The 4gb ram with 64gb rom version? Are you sure?

  • Can anyone tell me which is true.. Asus said its only 3g ram.. But here in gsmarena, they says it has 4g ram.. Its the same model though...

  • It is already available in the Philippines.

  • this is superb!!!!!

  • This has great specs and a good battery life for the price. The only disappointment is it doesn't use a usb-c cable.

  • 3 slot, dedmicro sd cated for 2 nano sim and 1 micro sd card

  • For its price this is the best option! I like its performance and quality.

  • No problem at all

  • Huawei 6x and/or Redmi note 4 are better than this one, except for battery and camera.

  • How;s the GPS, cell reception and call quality? Any overheating problems (Especially while charging)? Thanks.

  • Ask google

  • Might be an imitate LOL

  • Bought this phone about 2 weeks now..the thing i love about this phone is the battery, in normal use and few games this phone last for 2 days without charging. And about gaming their is no issues. im playing asphalt 8, mobile legends this kind of games are heavy graphics but theirs no problem at all. Personally I kinda like this phone..

  • Can anyone give a review on the GPS of this phone because I have the zenfone max and the GPS is not reliable takes forever to get a lock on and when it does it's not even accurate sometimes it would show that I'm in a different block. Hope this one has better GPS because on paper the specs looks promising.

  • Super-IPS

  • SD slot not dedicated? Can anyone confirm?

  • zenfone 4 max zc554kl was not yet released right? how come you already got one?

  • 1 week of using this phone. Charging took forever, and the battery keep on draining.

  • just had one a week ago and its awesome overall monster phone!!! keep it up asus!!!

  • 430 is low clock quadcore with entry level gpu, 6XX has 6-8 higher clocked cores with mid level gpu.

  • I would say this is way much better than Zenfone 4 Selfie :) but both are nice :-*

  • Can any 1 say me what is the difference between the sd 430 and sd 610 or 630etc

  • Me too wanna know bro especially in India

  • Hmm maube you bought pro version, it kinda different phone

  • Yes.it's good for online games with medium graphics.

  • Based on my research, the processor of this phone (Qualcomm Snapdragon 430) is low efficient. One of the disadvantage of this phone is its performance.

  • i bought one yesterday, this is 3gb ram only, not yet corning gorilla glass. misleading specs. kindly correct pls. thanks

  • please update the display resolution and screen type. display resolution is only 1280 x 720 (267 ppi) screen type is only 2.5d curved scratch resistant

  • Long time battery. But audio quality is worst, don't know is speaker problem or firmware update can solve this problem

  • this is almost a monster phone and it so fit for me because I'm always playing online games

  • camera-wise which is better between Asus Zenfone 4 Max and LG Q6, I'm confuseeed which phone to buy pls let me know

  • I dont have any opinion but I do have a question. When is the exact date of launching?

  • I will buy it only if comes with fhd display

  • When it is going to be launched in India and what would be the price of it.If it is less than 13k it may be good for us and there would be demand in the market for the Asus in India or else there are better mobiles in the range of 15k

  • i thought LTE is 4g

  • The dedicated sd slot makes a huge difference. For me 64GB with 2 sims and no sd is not enough, but even 16GB is enough with a 64GB card. I'm planning on buying it if it doesn't have serious flaws (Bad call quality, bad GPS reception and other things you can't guess by the specifications).

  • Hi. So there is no 4gb version? Thanks!

  • This could have been better if it has 64GB Internal Memory and 4GB RAM. Overall 32GB Internal plus 256GB Micro SD and 3GB RAM still has killed it. Specially 5000mah battery

  • Iloveitzenfone4max

  • NFC is a short-range high frequency wireless communication technology that enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 cm distance. NFC is an upgrade of the existing proximity card standard (RFID) that combines the interface of a smartcard and a reader into a single device. It allows users to seamlessly share content between digital devices, pay bills wirelessly or even use their cellphone as an electronic traveling ticket on existing contactless infrastructure already in use for public transportation. The significant advantage of NFC over Bluetooth is the shorter set-up time. Instead of performing manual configurations to identify Bluetooth devices, the connection between two NFC devices is established at once (under a 1/10 second). Due to its shorter range, NFC provides a higher degree of security than Bluetooth and makes NFC suitable for crowded areas where correlating a signal with its transmitting physical device (and by extension, its user) might otherwise prove impossible. NFC can also work when one of the devices is not powered by a battery (e.g. on a phone that may be turned off, a contactless smart credit card, etc.).

  • i was asked if i wanted to upgrade to os 7...i noticed after the upgrade there was a cast to feature...not sure if it had it before the update and haven't tested yet.

  • "Their", is possessive, example, that is their phone, their dog. What you should have typed is "They're", They are saying.

  • near field communication

  • Hello, does this phone has cast screen in the settings or features? thank you!

  • what is NFC mean?

  • opo :(

  • No NFC Support again

  • On media coverage of this phone their saying this comes with 720p screen, 3GB ram, and 430 cpu. Can you confirm this?

  • Indian Price Tag should be under 12K to counter with xiaomi etc... Also it should be non-Hybrid

  • In Indonesia Zenfone 4 Max Pro, with : 32 GB ROM, 3 GB RAM CAMERA Primary Dual 16MP - 5MP Secondary 16 MP, LED flash

  • I hope it won't have cracks at the bottom. *fingerscrossed*

  • Yeah... I googled it... SD 430 was released in year 2015... They should at least use 435 or 450....

  • Asus should launch this mobile at 12,500 or less then only people would prefer it including me or else they may shift to other branded mobiles

  • It is sell at Malaysia?

  • 13 Mp but dual rear Camera sensors. and that make sense...

  • 13mp? to small for latest version

  • 13mp? to small for latest version

  • tjis will be available in the Philippines?

  • The Zenfone 4 Max is only available in Russia. Its a slightly changed version of the Zenfone 3 zoom which you can get at BestBuy or Staples. The new Zenfone 4 will be introduced on Sep 19. not sure yet when it will hit the stores in North America

  • before this I read the camera was 16MP, why when i open again its 13MP?

  • When is it coming to the U.S?

  • When will this be available in the U.S?

  • its way too old

  • Finally quick charge!!!!! About time asus realized the max series need fast charging.

  • Integrated X6 LTE, cutting-edge camera technology with dual-Image Signal processors, and a next-generation Qualcomm® Adreno™ 505 GPU mean Snapdragon 430 supports fast downloads and uploads, stunning graphics and photos with battery life to spare

  • Why sir/maam.? What is wrong with SD 430.?

  • Why? What is wrong with SD 430.?

  • sd430? what the heck!!!

  • Stay tuned in Asus Facebook page for official announcement.

  • why sd 430???

  • When it well be available in philippines?

  • when it will be available in india

  • Maybe Sony IMX278 but i think it's possibly only using IMX214, same as Zenfone 3 Laser.

  • When it will be available in Pakistan?

  • That is exactly what it is - they got smart and went back to original specs with dual Sim and MicroSD slot. This one is a winner - upgrading from 1st generation as soon as it arrives!!

  • if it's a proper device with 2 sim slot & a separate sd card slot then i would be the first to pick one for myself... if its hybrid then keep it with you

  • when it will be available in the philippines?

  • any info about camera sensor? maybe IMX258? IMX278?

  • Asus

  • ASUS Taipei, Xiaomi Beijing

  • Let's hope the price comes close to the original Zenmax And finger crossed may it come to Indonesia ^_^

  • He'll ya... I got Zen 3 recently the front 8MP rear 16MP but the photos have so much noise... Worse than my Zen laser

  • Xiaomi a lot better.

  • almost late in the game, recent changes in nokia might have cleared head but it seems to have not cleared the head as required.

  • users say that HD resolution at the end... Why they don t make aptX support here don t understand(((((

  • Asus is asus

  • None

  • Nice

  • Please suggest me which is better xiaomi or Asus..?

  • It will supported VoLTE but not band 12, only band 6 with 300Mbps

  • nah not gonna buy from asus anymore poor software everytime they update some function or app is broken plus poor service center the last phone that I have from asus is zenfone 2 ze551ml and I'm still using it the worst I have from asus is padfone x premium price for a garbage phone.

  • Is this phone going to support voLTE and band 12?

  • why without apt X in 2017? also don t understand about camera quality

  • Still are the best phones for reasonable price. Oter brands cost 2 or 3 times more and offers the same.

  • There is absolutely no reason for 4gb RAM unless is the newest one DDR4x in dual channel with SD630 on heavy modificiet OS like miui

  • Don't blame GSMA.

  • What? They've been slowly making the prices higher dude, them and OnePlus.

  • Asus is from Taiwan though....

  • Can Chinese people be original? The most commonly android phones are like an iPhone. Be original please?

  • because iphone has no patent over that frame design, even HTC had iphone like frame design before them, you will realize some day that there is some factories they produce same clamshell for a lot of cell phone companies, like GMC automotive does to other companies!!

  • Apt X this device will have? Somebody know about it?)

  • Well maybe you are right. But i can gt Lenovo Moto Z2 play with powerbank add on for like 500 so this is the option. Anoter good thing its if i buy from our provider. I am working for a mobile phone company which buys and sell mobiles and accesorize this phone for like 500 with all add-ons and best thing its it have 7.1.1. nougat clear android without any b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

  • How come almost all asus, vivo, oppo, and xiaomi phones looks like an iphone?!

  • No they are being more than themselves because they placed a whopping 5000mah battery inside. What do u expect

  • You get high-end devices with mid-range price but full of cons

  • Zenfone...best budget phone after xiaomi..using since laser 2...now on laser 3..happy till now

  • Your friend has Zenfone "4" Max already? Heard from my friend, yes i will believe you and him.

  • look at that fat battery.. 5k..

  • Xiaomi Mi6 cost 00 likemid ranger and also have 835 snapdragon.

  • Hearing my friend charging this phone from 5% to 100% needed more than 4 hours, that is not normal considering the specs said it has Fast Battery Charging, or Asus just being Asus as per usual?

  • नोकि&­;#2351;ा 2 बजट फोन आएगा NOKIA 2 Budget Phone Will Come

  • Witha 5000 mAh battery shoudl be awesome but high range devices dont have batery over 4k.

  • Redmi 4x with Snappy 435, HD & 4100 Mah (Budget)

  • oneplus 5....

  • Ahahahaha

  • it's a budget Phone..., find me a budget Phone with a SD835 lol :)

  • Guys, it's an aprox. 230 dollar phone.... asking for a sd 835? Please...

  • sd 835 for a mid range device? Aren't you demanding to much?

  • Home button sucks but they added fingerprint access. I prefer no buttons on front

  • No SD 835 what a fail.

  • 430 and 425 processor ......................maybe sd 855. That is an idea hahahaha

  • Phisical home botton? Really?

  • 430 processor.........haha nice

  • it's so long.....4 hours for full charge so bad... sport it with quick charge 3

  • This seems awfully similar to Samsung's S8 Dream UX. Which, does have quite a nice look to it.
