Performance


Tagged as the #PowerhouseKing , this smartphone is indeed a good entry level phone with a decent performance to maximize your daily needs. The 3GB ram is sufficient for multitasking and switching through apps and social medias. The 4000mAh battery is pretty impressive as I used it and lasted for a day doing basic social media browsing , a bit of gaming and voice calls. With its mid range processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 632. Zenfone Max M2 will bring you fine performance. I didn't experience any problem while multitasking, using social app. I've played games like mobile legends on it and i didn't experience any fps drop. 

Camera and Photos


As a traveler , its AI cameras is the feature that I like the most. It features 13 scenes for its AI Scene Detection. It can can concentrate on the subject, and get perfect shots every time you capture. This automatically detects the scene or subject and optimizes the photo settings, giving you a simpler, smarter way to capture and share every magical scenes you are having. Another plus is that , it can shoot videos up to 4K quality at 30fps which vloggers can use - though the stability is not that great so it is better to pair it up with a tripod. ♥ 


Images captured using the rear cam are pretty decent under good lighting condition. I noticed that shots under poor lighting is not that great but it shouldn't be a downer since this phone is still packed with different camera modes that will help enhance your photos depending on your preference.

Display


Talking about the display of this phone is quite impressive. It features 6.3-inch screen HD+ display, which will help you to enjoy watching streams or play mobile games. As a traveler, I would love to bring this during my trips for it will help me kill my travel boredom by watching stream or play mobile games. One thing to consider is that, it can only watch 720p on Youtube, but with its given price it will bring you the satisfactory.

The verdict? For a budget phone , i will definitely own one of this! The camera is insanely good and I love it. ♥
