ASUS starts the year with a bang with a new smartphone of regal proportions and longevity when it comes to battery life; the Asus Zenfone Max Plus aka “The Battery King”.

So what’s so exciting about this brand new phone from ASUS? Well aside from expanding the battery life to insane proportions, this new model runs on Android Nougat, has a bigger screen (5.7-inch 18:9 Full HD+ IPS Display (2160 x 1080 resolution), 424ppi) and facial recognition feature which is pretty much the gold standard in smartphones this quarter going on to the next.
