The ever-confusing Asus smartphone lineup will be expanding by two more phones as evidenced by Brazilian telecom regulator Anatel's database. The two models are called Zenfone Max Shot and Zenfone Max Plus (M2), which is not to be confused with the existing Zenfone Max Pro (M2) and Zenfone Max Plus (M1). The Max Shot has some special camera chops and comes with three cameras on its back, though it's unclear what exactly the setup consists of. Meanwhile, the Max Plus (M2) has a simpler dual camera configuration. You'd be forgiven for mistaking the two at a casual glance - the camera assemblies are equally large, but the one on the Max Plus (M2) has the flash where the Max Shot has its third camera module, and its flash is placed outside instead.
Different views of the Zenfone Max Shot Little is known of the internals other than the storage - the Max Shot has 64GB of it, while the Max Plus (M2) only has half that. We can imagine, however, this being Asus and all, that there will be numerous versions with varying RAM and storage.
Pages from the Zenfones' manuals Other specs are revealed by pictures taken from the phones' manuals. We learn that the handsets have rear-mounted fingerprint sensors, dual nano SIM slots and microSD slots (dedicated ones, if past practice is any indication). Much less exciting are the microUSB ports - let's all move on to USB-C already. As is usual outside of the flagship segment, the two Zenfones have 3.5mm jacks. That seems to be all that's known for the moment, and we now have two more Zenfones to wait for. Source | Via

10.48 Salah satu keunggulan Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 adalah baterainya yang berkapasitas sebesar 5000mAh. Namun agak sedikit disayangkan dalam kotak penjualan Max Pro M2 Asus hanya memberikan charger standar 5V~2A alias belum mendukung fast charging. Dengan baterai kapasitas sebesar itu, seberapa cepat sih pengisian baterai menggunakan charger bawaan 5V~2A? Bagaimana jika menggunakan charger berteknologi Quick Charge? Apakah bisa? Yuk langsung kita tes aja.. Kita mulai tes ponsel ini pada posisi low batt 1% dengan menggunakan power adapter bawaan Asus dengan output 5V~2A.. Di cas dalam keadaan stand-by, tanpa sim card dan dinyalakan sesekali untuk melihat status baterai..
Bagaimana menurut Anda? Apakah cepat atau lambat? Kalau menurut saya sih lumayan cepat lah untuk kapasitas baterai 5000mAh, tapi akan lebih baik lagi jika Asus menambahkan fitur fast charging seperti teknologi Quick Charge. Sekarang mari kita tes nge-cas ponsel ini dengan menggunakan power adaptor yang sudah mendukung Quick Charge 3.0. Power adapter yang kita gunakan adalah bawaan Xiaomi model MDY-08-EW yang sudah mendukung teknologi QC..
Kesimpulannya.. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 TIDAK mendukung fast charging Quick Charge walaupun secara teori chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 yang digunakan ponsel ini sudah mendukung Quick Charge 4.0, hanya saja fitur berbayar tersebut tidak diaktifkan, kemungkinan karena untuk memangkas harga. |
