ASUS Zenfone 3S Max Design and Display Review-
The Zenfone 3S Max design is completely new unlike any ASUS Zenfone series smartphones, The 3S max comes in gold colour with the camera and flashlight at the left upside corner and we can see ASUS brand name in the middle.

ASUS Zenfone 3S Max UI (User Interface) Review:-
The Zenfone 3S Max is loaded with the latest Android 7.0 Nougat and ZenUI 3.0 for added personalization which makes it’s user interface very easy and more awesome. The Zen UI 3.0 is somehow changed and improved for the Zenfone 3S max and it works well with the new Android 7.0 Nougat update which is the best part of this smartphone along with the battery.
Users can easily switch to the apps and use multi windows feature to use the apps, while some users don’t like the Zen UI 3.0 which removes pure the feel of the Android 7.0 Nougat

ASUS always understood and realised very early that the users are more interested in getting more powerful battery backup and ASUS has done justice to this in it’s most of the budget smartphone.

No doubt that it has the powerful battery and it does justice to this.
