ASUS expanded their Zenfone 3 series with the launch of Zenfone 3S Max in India. Priced at Rs 14,999/-, is available from 7th of February across all retail outlets and e-commerce portals.
Commenting on the launch, Peter Chang, Region Head – South Asia & Country Manager for ASUS India said, “The dependence on smartphones in today’s fast-paced world has increased multi-fold. Their role has moved beyond being simple communication devices to being the preferred medium for entertainment, internet browsing, shopping, travel and accessing social media. An extended battery life is extremely crucial to support the users’ 24/7 smartphone usage. The all-new Zenfone 3S Max has a powerful battery, along with tasteful aesthetics and superb camera making it well-suited for the needs of today’s users.”
Retaining the essence of ASUS’ Max series, Zenfone 3S Max has an extremely long-lasting 5000 mAh battery, allowing extended use of the smartphone without the need to charge it frequently. On a full charge, the lithium-polymer battery provides up to 34 days of standby time on 4G, 28 hours of talk time on 3G, 18 hours of video playback and 25 hours of Wi-Fi Web browsing. The smartphone also has five selectable power modes to optimize performance and help extend the battery life further – Performance mode, Normal mode, Power saving mode, Super saving mode and Customized mode. Subjected to aggressive usage, the battery of Zenfone 3S Max far exceeds a day – whether it’s gaming, watching videos, or internet streaming/browsing over WiFi and cellular data.
Featuring a 5.2 inch high-definition display, Zenfone 3S Max reflects ASUS’ design philosophy and is a perfect blend of looks and durability. Its premium crafted metal, aluminum-alloy body has a sandblasted matte finish, making it durable and reliable, apart from lending it sophistication. The smartphone also features a 2.5D contoured glass, subtly rounded off at its edges, giving it a luxurious appeal and making it comfortable to hold. The display is surrounded by a slim bezel that gives the phone a high 75% screen to body ratio for maximized viewing area in a slim and compact body. The smartphone also has a built-in Bluelight filter that protects the users’ eyes from strain during prolonged usage. Zenfone 3S Max weighs only 175 grams and is 8.85mm thick at its sides, making it one of the lightest and most compact smartphones that sport a battery of 5000 mAh.
