A successor to the Zenfone Max Pro M1, the phone has a modern notch-based screen, premium glass-like design, improved camera modules and a more powerful processor.
The
Zenfone Max Pro M2, like most recent products from the stable of
Taiwanese electronics maker
Asus, gives value for your money in the midrange smartphone
segment.
The phone comes in two colour variants (blue and titanium) –
and three RAM and storage configurations — 3GB RAM/32GB storage,
4GB RAM/64GB storage and 6GB RAM/64GB storage. A successor to the
Zenfone Max Pro M1 (review), this phone has a modern notch-based
screen, a premium glass-like design, improved camera modules, and a
more powerful processor.
Compared
with its predecessor, the Zenfone
Max Pro M2 has more than just cosmetic upgrades. It seems to tick
all the right boxes when tested against the company’s claim of it
being an unbeatable performer. But, how does it fare against other
smartphones in the same segment, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6,
Realme Pro 2 and Nokia 6.1 Plus? Let’s find out:
Design
and display
The
Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a reflective glass-like design on the back and
Gorilla Glass 6 on the front. Compared with the metallic body of the
Max Pro M1 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, the glass design looks
premium and has a better feel to it. But, as with the Nokia 6.1 Plus
and Realme 2 Pro, the glossy body is prone to fingerprints, which
dull the shiny glass. The phone also feels slippery at times and is
prone to accidental drops.
Another
noticeable change in the Zenfone Max Pro M2 design is the notch-based
screen. Though the notch on top of the screen is not as small as the
waterdrop design in the Realme 2 Pro, it is not even as big as the
one in the Redmi Note 6 Pro. The new screen format adds to the
display estate, enhancing the size from 6 inches in the predecessor
to 6.26-inches, without much difference in dimensions.
Camera
The
Zenfone Max Pro M2 has a dual-camera module on the back, with a
12-megapixel primary lens paired with a 5MP depth-sensor. The primary
lens has a bright f/1.8 aperture and a bigger pixel size of 1.25
micron metre. Unlike the wide-angle secondary lens, the 5MP
depth-sensor in the Max Pro M2 captures depth information to improve
portrait shots.
The
rear camera unit takes satisfactory images in day light. However,
even with a bright lens, its lowlight imaging remains sub-optimal.
The photos taken in low light come grainy with visible noise levels.
There is a dedicated night mode in quick settings, but it does not
show any major improvement to the frame.
