![Bottom line](/static/images/reviews-bottomline.png)
We did not like the performance as much. The device is rather slower than its competitors in all aspects. Perhaps this is due to Asus' ZenUI interface? The device is only conditionally suitable for 3D games, but more sophisticated websites could also be a...

In the first Zenfone Max, ASUS fitted the Qualcomm Snapdragon 401 chipset which proves to be pretty smooth. The new-generation Zenfone 3 Max uses MediaTek chip, and it appears ASUS has not optimized the ZenUI to work as smoothly as Qualcomm chip. In addit...
