It’s been a long time that I did a tech review. A little over two months ago, I tried out ASUS Zenfone 4 Max Lite.
Compared to Zenfone 4 Selfie which I did a review last year, Zenfone 4 Max Lite powered with 4100 mAh battery. Being a heavy user using social media apps for monitoring at work, I was amazed at the performance of its camera. What I love about this phone is that I can do multitasking by using Multi Window function.
It never fails me whenever I’m doing Facebook Live for my bosses (yes…I have 4 bosses!)’The battery life is LIT! The durability of the phone…I always rely on this phone even I do crosspost on social media while checking notifications.
