Other than battery life and performance, the ZenFone Max Pro (M1) also features a 6-inch full HD IPS display on that offers great color reproduction on all 3 models for your visual enjoyment.

Dedicated Slot For Dual-SIM and Memory Card

Dedicated dual-SIM + memory card tray which has been long sought after by ZenFone users was first spotted on the ZenFone Max Plus (M1), and it’s good to see that ASUS is taking the feedback on what the users really want on their phone.

On the ZenFone Max Pro (M1), you’ll find a label which indicates the correct orientation for users to slot in the sim card + memory card tray. It’s not something that is worth to brag about, but at least we can see that ASUS does really look into details on minor aspects which matters to some users.

Not ZenUI, Just Pure Android OS

While most of the brands would customize the OS to match with their brand identity, we were actually surprised by ASUS this time. Instead of going with its ZenUI as usual, they took a different route to go with Android OS in its purest form. At one point, most users will start to realize that its actually these unnecessary yet resource hogging custom UI and bloatware is the culprit that slows down the phone.
