News: The Best Battery Life $229 Can Buy: ASUS ZenFone Max Plus Is Coming to the US
Not many smartphones are announced at CES these days — instead, you'll mostly see other types of electronics like Energeous's WattUp and Li-Fi. However, ASUS decided to share some good news for their US customers, and it comes in the form of a new phone with some interesting specs and a budget-friendly price tag.ASUS plans to release the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) to the US in February. However, this isn't your typical mid-range smartphone. Unlike phones in this price range, you get a formidable SoC, an amazingly large battery, and one unique feature not found on many smartphones (including flagship devices).
The Bottom LinePricing for the ASUS Zenfone Max Plus is $229. This is perhaps the most important spec of all, considering what you get.It uses the MediaTek 6750T SoC, a chipset not typically found in US phones. It offers eight cores and a Geekbench single-core score that's higher than its biggest competitor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615.Aside from its unique processor, other standout features include a massive 4,130 mAh battery and an unlocking mechanism that's eerily similar to Apple's Face ID. Oh, and it's one of the few phones left that actually has a headphone jack! The rare headphone jack is found in this device. Image by GadgetMatch/YouTube
Full Spec SheetOS Version: Android 7.0 Nougat Skin: ZenUI 4.0 CPU: Mediatek 6750T GPU: Mali-T860 MP2 RAM: 3 GB Battery: 4,130 mAh with SuperCharge Storage: 32 GB (expandable via MicroSD) Display Type: IPS LCD Screen Size: 5.7 inches Resolution: WFHD (2160 x 1080) Dimensions: 6.01" x 2.87" x 0.35" Rear Camera Resolution: 16 MP + 8 MP Rear Camera Aperture: f/2.0 Optical Image Stabilization: No Front Camera Resolution: 8 MP Fingerprint Sensor: Yes (rear) Water Resistance: Unrated Connections: Micro USB 2.0, 3.5 mm headphone jack
Display: 18:9 Full HD LCDFollowing the 2017 trend of minimal bezels, ASUS includes an 18:9 1080p display on the Zenfone Max Plus (a first for ASUS smartphones). While its forehead and chin aren't the smallest, the side bezels are virtually nonexistent. The Max Plus has 75.3% screen-to-body ratio, making its 5.7" display easy to use for those with smaller hands. Image by GadgetMatch/YouTube
Battery: 4,130 mAhTo match its weirdly redundant name, the Max Plus has one of the largest battery capacities for any smartphone, and that includes the top-tier devices. When such a large battery capacity is combined with Android 7.0 Nougat's optimizations, users will easily survive the day on a single charge. When you do need to charge, the ZenFone Max Plus supports 10 W fast charging to get you back to 100% battery in no time.However, squeezing such a large battery into a relatively small frame can cause problems (remember the Galaxy Note 7), so ASUS has taken precautions to ensure customers are safe. ASUS PowerMaster, a suite of smart power management tools, works to make sure your device's battery remains safe. Twelve safety checkpoints are included with the PowerMaster suite, such as temperature monitoring and over-voltage protection. Image by GadgetMatch/YouTube
Face UnlockThanks to Apple's iPhone X, millions have been introduced to the convenience of facial recognition. Unfortunately, there are limited options when it comes to Android devices. Thankfully, ASUS added another smartphone to the small list of devices that support this feature.The Zenfone Max Plus includes Face Unlock to quickly and conveniently unlock your smartphone. Now when it is cold outside and you don't want to take off your gloves, you don't have to make the difficult choice between freezing or not using your phone.ASUS also includes a rear fingerprint scanner for a more secure biometric authentication method.

Then next thing I knew there was a new user added to my laptop and apps kept re-apearing like Group Share, Or apps that mirror what im doing on my phone or laptop and things weren't running right. That laptop had nothing saved on it other than 2 photo sessions with clients but yet the memory was full. Same thing goes for my Samsung Galaxy S 5
