Of course, the ZenFone Max does seem to be a nice choice for folks in need of a decent handset with long battery life. At the moment, the smartphone runs Android Lollipop, but it will soon be updated to Android Marshmallow alongside other Asus devices.

1080p screen lasts 5 hours and 31 minutes. What a joke.

Why ?
Shouldn't android users swear to explain how "much better hardware" like faster CPU, more pixels etc are worth any tradeoff in battery life/efficiency and how this test is unfair ?

They can always compare it to an Xperia 1080p or even the 1440p S7 and the 6S will still get thrashed. These phones even offer more features such as SD slotslot, waterproofing, fast charging and are customisable.

The 6s plus battery life is amazing, It last more than all day, even with some heavy gaming.
If you aren't planning on watching TV for 5 hours then you're good.

I wish companies would stop perpetuating this "iPhone is the best" myth by constantly comparing themselves to it in tests.
Sure the iPhones are great phones this is clear, but they stopped being the uber-pinnacle of technology about 3 or 4 years ago.
All these companies are doing now is creating a self fulfilling prophecy about Apple and their devices by essentially claiming they 'beat the best' in their testing vids. :/

Asus can't get it right in my opinion. Their higher end phones had modest battery life so they come out with one that has great battery life but with feeble specs and weighing in at 202 grams - a brick in other words. So far, I haven't seen any Asus phone I am tempted to buy. They are rather large too, not at all as compact as better phones. It is only their price that is attractive.

Asus could ship a phone sporting a 10,000mAh battery with solar charging and I still would not touch it. Anything having so much as one byte of code produced by their software department is at the top of my avoid list.
