Taiwanese consumer electronics giant Asus has finally launched the Zenfone Max in India.

Asus Zenfone Max was globally unveiled in August during ZenFestival 2015 in New Delhi, India. Now, the device has finally been released in the market.

As the name suggests, marquee feature of Zenfone Max is its extra battery life. Asus has incorporated a massive 5000 mAh battery, which can run the device for close to 914 hours under standby mode. It can even be used as power-bank to charge other devices.

Other notable features include HD display with Gorilla Glass 4, Snapdragon 410 CPU, 2GB RAM, 4G-LTE support, dual-SIM slots, 13mp camera with PixelMaster technology, Dual-LED Real Tone flash, laser auto-focus and a 5mp camera with wide-angle field of view.

"Timed perfectly with the new year, ZenFone Max takes our vision of providing luxury at an affordable price further. It combines a powerful battery with an innovative camera making it the perfect utility product for users who demand performance at all times. We are sure the phone will be appreciated by our patrons and take us a step closer to repeating the success we saw last year," said Peter Chang, Region Head – South Asia & Country Manager for ASUS India.
