ASUS ZenFone Max ZC550KL

Advantages: Add to my enthusiastic review. Exactly, beautiful and detailed sound is one of the main advantages of this smartphone. It is only necessary, after the purchase, to go to the menu and select sound presets: - vocals, movies, music, games. Or in the "music" mode, adjust the 5 band equalizer to your taste.

Disadvantages: A bluff sound will be only after purchase. I suspect. Manufacturer ASUS, it did it on purpose. Since in the main menu, there is a "setup wizard" separately. Where detailed sound settings are possible with just one touch. And the user, did it himself, to your liking.

Comment: I watched the VIDEO Tests of this Asus, and read the reviews. And everyone scolds the sound. Dear friends, before you "scold the sound." Go to the menu, and in seconds configure it first. Settings, change the sound - fundamentally. For example, I listen to a lot of radio through the speakers of a smartphone. In the Internet. And it is clear! As for the "news", the preset "VOCAL" is perfect. And for music, you need to tune the 5 band equalizer. And the sound will be - "cool".

Advantages: In principle, the screen is normal (I thought it would be worse), certainly the battery (before that was the Fly IQ4501 EVO Energy 4), the camera is not even bad, the sound during the conversation, that when listening to music, the cover under the skin is really nice touch and glass impressed.

Disadvantages: Slightly slows down, I would like more operatives. I do not play heavy games, I see an Internet, there is enough to read, but no more.

Comment: At first I bought ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML 32Gb Ram 4Gb, I was taken as a souvenir and operative, but the next day I took it to the store! While downloading the necessary applications and setting up for himself, he sat down for 2.5 hours, fast charging (40 minutes) but again 2.5 hours and look for the outlet! Everything is very good except the battery.Bought MAX and this is heaven and earth! I got used for 2 years with a flag that the battery holds at least a day and for me 2.5 hours is horror! On the site of the asus, they advertise the power bank for two charges to it, but it doesn’t impress the telephone + power bank for 7-8 hours of use! And in the game I did not play, just setting up the phone, downloading something and video. In short, I took MAX and it just makes me happy! The battery has more than a day of active use! From 100% exactly 35% left overnight! I use it for two days, until everything pleases, just a pity for the camera, it seems not bad, but in order not to scratch the glass, you need at least a bumper, so as not to scratch the table! Immediately recommend buying! I will write more.

Advantages: battery, screen

Disadvantages: where have you been for so long)

Comment: I sold nafig two iPhones and ipad air and bought one device, and you understand that this is not about money, I go out in the morning with a 25 ″ battery and don’t think that I will have to look for some kind of wire until evening. screens 4k, 25 cores, finger scanner ???? I have everything I need with myself and it works fast and the main thing is that this all works for several days ....

Advantages: Design. Battery capacity. Speaker volume. The quality of music (through a third-party player, there seems to be none of its own). The camera is better than 4 year old phones. The size is just right on the arm. A good set of ringtones. Screen with a coating - you can not glue any muck.

Disadvantages: Loaded with applications from Google, which can suddenly be updated and cause battery zhor. Google is not the most user-friendly organization to be trusted.
Its energy-saving program, which is terrible to turn off, but DU is clearly better even in appearance.
The protection of the device from water and scratches is no, the size is not for pockets, and it does not fit vertically in any belt bag.

Comment: The capacity of the battery is shown as 15 days in standby mode, I use three days so far 72%, and I didn’t watch the video. So the girl, at whom this device sat down for two days, either was crookedly refreshed, or looked at it very well.
As it is known, even Windows with laptops is dangerous to update - from 8 o'clock the operating time is reduced to 2-2.5 ...
I bought this device for 15 kilorubles including a sim card - so that the tovischis, which did not talk about the red price, is not the topic - the price is not always overpriced.
What about games? What game on smart? Chess is that - because about the "does not pull the game" is for shkoloty. Let them spoil their eyesight nerves trying to play shooters on such devices.

Advantages: Battery, camera, dimensions, very comfortable in the hand

Disadvantages: Not yet discovered

Comment: I took on Ali, black. 4G, of course not. Asus, as always, is at a height - a very high-quality assembly, the optimal ratio of performance with autonomy. Colleagues at work on the first day constantly approached to watch how the battery was discharged and the next day they met the words: “Well, did you charge?”. With my mode of use, I think the charge will last for 2-3 days. I think that the phone was a success and an alternative to it, for such a price, while it is difficult to pick up.

Advantages: 1. Chic Battery 5000mAh
2. high-quality, expensive-looking back cover (“soft”, not collecting prints, with a chrome logo)
3. good IPS color matrix and a good sensor that supports the work in gloves
4. Good factory shell for Android ZenUI
5. Low power consumption
6. Excellent GSM reception and smart and fast GPS, Wi-Fi
7. 2 SIM
8. separate SD card slot.
9. buttons for on-screen, not on-screen. + key layout is normal (back left)
10. balanced iron.
11. ability to charge other devices via OTG
12. catches a radio well
13. does not heat up

Disadvantages: in fact, there are no really obvious flaws as such, there are features and minor flaws that need to be looked at soberly.
1. very average performance iron (draws everything except heavy games)
2. The screen is just HD. - as well as iron is installed not just like that, but in order to spend less charge (pixels are visible if you look at the stop)
3. the lack of fast charging (takes a maximum of 1A) to charge the phone takes about 5 hours, but this is not a problem because 15-30% of the charge is enough for a day.
4. Doubtful quality of the sound in the headphones, and it seems not bad, but something is not impressive. :(
5. weak LED event indicator.

Comment: I have been waiting for this phone for a long time since the first presentation, in the end I bought it right after it appeared on Ali. I came to the choice consciously in the end very happy! for a penny (11.000rub) I received a Brand 5.5 smartphone with an iron that suits me, a chic appearance, and a great autonomy important for me.

Advantages: BATTERY !!!! For the whole day, it’s almost unrealistic to defuse it, as I haven’t tried it, it remains at 35-40 percent as a min and this is from 8 am to 12 am with active use
Excellent quick focus, (the camera takes good pictures of the text)
Cover under the skin
GPS + Glonas
4G
Build quality
Nimble shell

Disadvantages: The camera is good, but there could be better noises sometimes, although I probably haven’t figured it out yet because I haven’t ever shot a manual mode

Comment: I think that justifies its price by 100%
Asus Well done!
I bought Rostest 4g Beeline flies
GPS is smart
There are a lot of settings
Double tap
Games all that I tried on the average quietly (Mortal Kombat also pulls on the average)

Advantages: Price !!! Battery !!! Good quality photos and videos !!! Appearance super !!!

Disadvantages: Time will tell ..... well, maybe only the size because it was a 4.5 inch phone before that
Well, compared to Dual Sim 600, it's a pity that not 2 constantly active sims ... a very handy thing!

Comment: He was worn with the old man HTC Dual sim 600 .... he tortured me .... he charged him 2-3 times a day .... the battery is weak, and for 2 years you can see that I got lost ... a maximum of an hour was enough for 3-4 ... I was looking for a replacement with normal functionality and a battery from less well-known brands ... I don’t play games, megasuper processor quality is not needed, I don’t want to overpay for the brand .... my friend advised Asus because he himself enjoys and in principle is very pleased with the purchase ..... I saw this model on the market .... I bought it for 13,200, Eurotest (I don’t want to overpay 2-3 thousand for what I don’t want). Delivery set: those lefon, charging (evrovilka, but they gave an adapter in the store), instructions and everything))) charging initially goes 50%. I set up, transferred, got used, etc. 4-5 hours without taking out of my hands .... charging remained 38% ... stunned ..... because I had to run away to a meeting and was afraid that I would stay without communication, I put on charge (it’s going to go somewhere with a charge of less than 80% without a phone at the right time, I have a booster all the time I was with me, terrified) ...... in the end, when I left it was 75% ... I know that you need to charge the first time completely, but alas ........ in the end ... from 6 pm on Saturday and up to the moment written Ia reviews (Monday 15:30) charging - 31% !!!!!!! it's just unreal .... although I use social networks often and I have many calls, and I just often turn on digging in it ..... It looks very solid .... I didn’t even expect Asus for that kind of money ... back a panel under the skin, a golden panel on the sides ... everything is very convenient in the menu .... by the way that it was not a problem at all, just put the Russian language and everything .... did not see any hieroglyphs in the menu .... everything is clear .... pictures and videos are being shot very decent .... I’m satisfied with 200% .... I didn’t even expect ... I thought I would get used to it after a long while .... not everything is clear, fast, simple .. ..5.5 inches. ... of course, you need to get used to it ... but in general, everything is much more convenient with him ..... super !!!! Asus is handsome!
Ps. Sold the old CTC the next day for 4300r .... so my new Asus turns out to be worth it - 8,900 rubles just laugh !!!!!

Advantages: Appearance, battery, screen, size, performance, functionality, etc. ...

Disadvantages: Too heavy.

Comment: To replace the Zenfone 5 was purchased this unit. If he had disappointed me, then on that my acquaintance with Asus would have ended. The only doubt was only in the stock Qualcomm 410, which replaced Intel. I am not a gamer and not a big surfer on an Internet, so the top processor was not needed. But a battery of 5000 mAh was needed, so that in the evening not to look for an outlet. And with the OTG-cable, you can light up others.;) Charges, yes - slowly. But where to hurry at night?)
Compared to Zenfone 5, a few more useful features were added, and the pre-installed garbage of every desktop was three times smaller. Although ... maybe it is for the time being, until the time - I have not yet connected to WF and have not received any updates. The screen resolution is at a very good level - pixelation can only be seen if a specialist looks at it. The sound from the speaker is clear.
The main and undoubted plus is the battery. While setting up the phone for myself, I was dragging contacts and a gallery, I was climbing in the internet - 5% of the charge from the battery was lost. Set the mode "normal" with the shutdown of everything and everything except the call and SMS when the charge drops to 10% in balance.
Contrary to expectations, the device is convenient to use - because compared to the Zenfone 5 in width, it came just a couple of millimeters, and the whole increase in dimensions went the length - it just stretched a little. Buttons right below the middle and index fingers.
Subjectively: due to a perceptible weight gain and a slippery plastic edging “under the metal”, I’m always afraid to drop it from my hands. On Ali, I will purchase a flip case with a window and use another useful function from Asus - the active window with the flip lid closed. Even from the subjective: the 13 MP camera is clearly not pulling - the previous pictures were better.
But the device is no doubt worthy.
Py.Sy. Bought in white - this is something that is super !!! Buy white - you will not regret!
Py.Py.Sy. I read the complaints of users that the double tap does not always work on shutdown. Just tapit need to place on the screen, free from text and images.;)))
Good luck to all!

Advantages: Of course, the battery is 5000 mAn, GG4 glass, appearance, two SIM cards 4G, a separate slot for the memory card, the back cover under the skin, everything works well. The function of disabling unnecessary pre-installed good, one-handed control is suitable for small handles (in fact, you make a screen diagonal that you need at least 3 inches, at least four), full of settings for yourself, I liked the photo in the dark with a flash.

Disadvantages: The camera shoots well, but you have to adjust, sometimes the photo is smeared, it may just not understand the settings. I'm not a fan of photos on the phone (there is a DSLR for this), I'm not critical.

Comment: This MAX has everything I need !!! I waited for him and he met my expectations! I'm tired of anxiously looking at the percentage of charging, I do not want to carry a mob in my pocket. battery ... and I do not need a devouring full hd ... and 8 cores ...
The battery in MAX is good !!! I drove it for two days (with a fool ... although I don’t need it, purely because of curiosity) with all the synchronizations turned on + I extinguished the zombies from the plane for half an hour (I remembered that I had, bought once, I don’t play ) in the morning and in the evening, a total of 30 percent on the balance, there is no limit to joy, knowing that tomorrow it will be enough for me for the whole day, well, if not to maniac !!! Superbly in the hand, beautiful. It is smaller in width and longer than the LASER with the same diagonal, compared with a friend. The sensors all work. Support for three navigation operators, satellites catches in an apartment three meters from the window !!! for 20 seconds (some other Chinese operator "badde" is present). There are a lot of functions on energy conservation. If you use it as a regular dialer + messengers + Internet enough for a very long time, which is not enough for all brand smartphones. He took the black, for 16.200 on Budyonovsky.I understand that there are different cheaper alternatives, in the form of lenovo, oukitel, filips and all sorts of cheap goodies on Ali for 10.000 maN, but the soul did not lie ... I do not need a root and all this crap with a tambourine, so that the phone stopped showing hieroglyphs I wanted growth, warranty and support at home.
I did not sculpt any films, there is magnificent glass, I’m not looking for a cover yet, dyuzhe is handsome to hide)))
Today, my wife recharged her aphonasia through OTG, she is in ah-ye!
The update came immediately to 470 meters in android.
I am happy as an elephant! Recommend!
