Asus has packed the smartphone in a very compact box with an image of Zenfone’s UI on top of it. Other than the name of the smartphone there is no unnecessary logos and text on the box and it looks quite simple and descent.

Inside the box you will get a very nice looking Asus Zenfone Max, a headset, a wall charger, a USB cable and a spare set of ear buds for the earphones which is a good thing altogether. From quite some time we have seen OEMs were not including the earphones with the handsets but Asus has done this with this handset.

The game-play on this device is very smooth and did not show any lags at all.

Overall the gaming experience was good on this device taking into account the fact that the main focus of Asus or this device is the huge battery it comes with. With 5000 mAh cell underneath you can enjoy countless hours of gaming.
NOTE:- The gaming performance was tested under an atmospheric temperature of 13 degree Celcius. [table id=328 /]
