When ASUS Philippines revealed the price of the ZenFone 3 to be ₱16,995 and ZenFone 3 Deluxe as ₱34,995, Filipino fans were dismayed.

Thankfully, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max only costs ₱8,995.00! That’s for a Snapdragon 615-powered smartphone with a 5.2 inch display and as its name suggests, a large 4100mAh battery.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max has a metallic body and slightly curved edges on around its display called 2.5D arc.

It also boasts a 13MP camera, 4G LTE connectivity, a fingerprint sensor that unlocks the phone in 0.3 seconds, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage space.

This might turn out to have the most sales among the different ZenFone 3 variants.
