Initially, the Max and the Laser variants of the new Zenfone series were meant for two specific markets — the power-hungry and the avid mobile photographers. But with the arrival of the Zenfone 3 Max 5.5, Asus made us confused. It’s larger than the 5.2 variant but still have the same battery capacity and it almost has the same performance of the more expensive Laser.
So, if you want the best of the two, the Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 is the way to go.
