Mnogi korisnici su imali slične kritike i, kao rezultat toga, ASUS je poslušao i objavio novi i poboljšani ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 . Ovaj pametni telefon je revizija prethodnog modela i obećava da će riješiti najveće pritužbe ljudi. Je li ova nova verzija solidna nadogradnja u odnosu na svoju prethodnicu? Pročitajte ovu recenziju i saznajte:

Presuda

Prvi ASUS ZenFone Max pametni telefon ( ZC550KL ) bio je model koji smo jako cijenili. Zatim je došao ASUS ZenFone 3 Max ( ZC520TL ) koji je po našem mišljenju bio malo razočaranje. To su također potvrdile povratne informacije korisnika i, kao rezultat toga, ASUS je odlučio poduzeti akciju i izbaciti ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 ( ZC553KL ). Ova revizija je sjajna nadogradnja na mnogo važnih načina: procesor, kamera i performanse koje nudi. Ako želite kupiti pametni telefon iz obitelji ZenFone Max , ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 ( ZC553KL) je onaj za odabir. Jedina bitna mana je cijena, koja je mogla biti i nešto manja. Međutim, zimske rasprodaje će uskoro biti ovdje i očekujemo da će ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 biti dostupan po odličnim cijenama, što ga čini obaveznim za kupnju u svojoj niši.

Specifikacije hardvera^(Hardware) i pakiranje

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 , poznat i kao ASUS ZC553KL po tvorničkom nazivu, stiže u kutiji napravljenoj od bijelog kartona. Mekan je na dodir i dobro izgleda. S gornje strane nalazi se ilustracija pametnog telefona koja pokazuje kako on izgleda i s prednje i sa stražnje strane. U blizini ove ilustracije također možete vidjeti da se pametni telefon zove Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 .

Na bokovima ćete pronaći informacije o ovom pametnom telefonu i nekim od njegovih najvažnijih karakteristika. Okrenite kutiju odozdo prema gore i pronaći ćete detaljne informacije o točnom modelu pametnog telefona, IMEI kodu, serijskom broju i tako dalje.

Unutar pakiranja pronaći ćete ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 na vrhu ladice za papir. Ispod njega se nalazi punjač s odvojivim USB na mikro USB kabel, mikro USB na USB OTG kabel koji možete koristiti za punjenje drugih uređaja iz baterije pametnog telefona, igla za izbacivanje SIM ladice, jamstveni list i korisnički priručnik. Nažalost, slušalice nisu uključene.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} dostupan je u četiri različite varijacije boja: Sand Gold , Titanium Gray , Glacier Silver i Rose Pink . To su iste boje koje smo vidjeli za ASUS ZenFone 3 Max , s jednom iznimkom: Rose Pink nalazi se samo na ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 . Model koji smo testirali je Titanium Grey^{(Titanium Gray one)} .

Kao što naziv govori, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 ima ekran od 5,5 inča. To je jedna od glavnih razlika između ovog modela i manjeg ASUS ZenFone 3 Max , koji ima zaslon od 5,2 inča. ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 nudi Full HD rezoluciju od 1920 x 1080 piksela i koristi IPS ( In-Plane Switching ) tehnologiju, što znači da su kutovi gledanja vrlo široki, a boje bi trebale biti bliske prirodnim. Prednja strana pametnog telefona, uključujući zaslon, zaštićena je 2.5D konturnim staklom.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} koristi 64-bitni Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core 430 procesor koji radi na 1,4 GHz. Za video renderiranje, pametni telefon se oslanja na Adreno 505 video čip koji radi na 450MHz i koji ima podršku za DirectX 12.1 i OpenGL 3.2 . Za usporedbu, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max nudi četverojezgreni MediaTek procesor koji radi na 1,25 GHz i Mali-T720MP2 video čip (s podrškom za DirectX 9.3 i OpenGL 3.1 ). Kada je riječ o procesorskoj snazi, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 definitivno je napredak u odnosu na svog prethodnika.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} također dolazi s 32 GB interne flash memorije i 2 ili 3 GB LPDDR3^(LPDDR3) memorije, ovisno o točnoj verziji koju kupite. Također je vrijedno napomenuti da uvijek možete proširiti kapacitet pohrane pametnog telefona dodavanjem microSD kartice do 128 GB. MicroSD kartica je umetnuta umjesto sekundarne SIM kartice^(SIM) , što znači da ćete morati birati između toga da imate više prostora za pohranu ili da istovremeno možete koristiti pametni telefon s dvije SIM kartice. Ne možete ih imati oboje. Imajte na umu da je model koji smo testirali imao 3 GB RAM-a^(RAM) .

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} nudi stražnju kameru sa senzorom od 16 megapiksela i otvorom blende f/2.0. Kamera ima koristi od brzog laserskog senzora autofokusa, može snimati slike s HDR -om i može iskoristiti prednosti ugrađene Dual-LED bljeskalice u okruženjima slabog osvjetljenja. Na prednjoj strani pametnog telefona dobivate i selfie kameru rezolucije 8 megapiksela i otvora blende af/2.2.

Ako ste znatiželjni o mogućnostima povezivanja koje dobivate, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 nudi Bluetooth 4.1 čip i bežičnu mrežnu karticu koja se može povezati samo na 2,4 GHz Wi-Fi mreže koristeći bežične standarde 802.11 b/g/n. To znači da se nećete moći spojiti na bežične mreže koje se emitiraju na radio frekvenciji od 5 GHz.

Ovaj pametni telefon je Dual SIM uređaj i podržava 4G LTE veze. Međutim, ako ga koristite u Dual SIM načinu, samo jedna SIM kartica može se povezati i koristiti 3G i 4G LTE mreže. Sekundarna SIM kartica može koristiti jedini 2G. Nadalje, pametni telefon koristi Dual SIM Dual Standby implementaciju, što znači da su obje SIM kartice aktivne u stanju čekanja, ali kada na jednoj od njih preuzmete poziv, druga postaje neaktivna.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} također uključuje razne senzore: senzor blizine, senzor ambijentalnog svjetla, žiro senzor, e-kompas, skener otiska prsta, akcelerator i laserski senzor.

Baterija je bitan dio svakog pametnog telefona, a to je još više u slučaju ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 . Ovaj model se hvali velikim kapacitetom od 4100 mAh (ne može se ukloniti). To je ista baterija koja se nalazi na prethodnom ASUS ZenFone 3 Max .

S ekranom od 5,5 inča, pametni telefon je također nešto veći od svog prethodnika. Ovaj je dug 5,96 inča (151,4 mm), širok 3 inča (76,24 mm) i debeo 0,33 inča (8,3 mm). Teži 6,17 unci, što je 175 grama u metričkom sustavu.

Unlike its smaller brother, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max, the 5.5 model has a larger display, and its hardware specifications are better, which is)}dobrodošla promjena koju priželjkuju mnogi korisnici.^{( a welcome change, desired by many users.)}

Kvaliteta dizajna i izrade

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5^{(Max 5.5)} dizajniran je za jednostavnu upotrebu i dobar izgled. Iako ima mnogo sličnosti s prethodnim modelom, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 također ima neke svoje karakteristike dizajna. Na primjer, kućište je izrađeno od metala, a to se ne viđa često na jeftinim pametnim telefonima. Uz isključivu iznimku zaslona, ​​koji je prekriven 2.5D konturnim staklom, sve ostalo je prekriveno metalnim okvirom pametnog telefona.

Na prednjoj strani pametnog telefona, osim velikog ekrana, na vrhu se nalaze zvučnik za uši i prednja kamera, a pri dnu zadane Android tipke. Za razliku od ASUS ZenFone 3 Max , model 5.5 koristi kapacitivne tipke za Natrag, Početna^{(Back, Home)} i Nedavne aplikacije^{(Recent apps)} . Kao sporedna napomena, uvijek radije imamo ove tipke odvojene od zaslona.

Stražnja strana pametnog telefona je potpuno metalna. Na donjem dijelu nalazi se tamno sivi ASUS logo, a prema vrhu su senzor otiska prsta, kamera i pomoćna sredstva: Dual LED bljeskalica i laserski senzor autofokusa. Senzor otiska prsta ima pravokutni oblik i blago je utonuo unutar tijela telefona, što ga čini lakim za pronalaženje.

Rubovi ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 su zaobljeni, a u njima se nalaze svi uobičajeni dijelovi koji se nalaze na Android pametnim telefonima. Na donjem rubu se nalazi mikro USB priključak, rešetka zvučnika i mala rupica na kojoj se nalazi mikrofon.

Na gornjem rubu nalazi se audio priključak i mala rupica za sekundarni mikrofon. Na desnom rubu, prema vrhu, nalaze se tipka za paljenje i tipka za kontrolu glasnoće. Na lijevom rubu imate ladicu za SIM karticu^(SIM) . Zgodan detalj je činjenica da su bočne tipke drugačije teksture od ostatka tijela pa ih je lako prepoznati.

Iako je ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 jeftin pametni telefon, izgleda dobro i ima solidnu kvalitetu izrade. Sviđa nam se njegov dizajn i činjenica da se čini čvrstim i pouzdanim.^{(Although the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is a budget smartphone, it looks good, and it has a solid build quality. We like its design, and the fact that it feels sturdy and reliable.)}

What is the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 good at?

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL) smartphone is good at:

• Keeping you away from the power socket for two days in a row between charges
• Multitasking and good web browsing experiences
• Looking better than most smartphones with the same price tag

Pros and cons

Here are the best things about the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL):

• The hardware is better than that of the previous model - ASUS ZenFone 3 Max (ZC520TL)
• The performance and the camera experience are much better than that of the previous model

• It has good build quality and a metallic body

There are also a few not so positive things about it:

• If you want a gaming smartphone, it is not a great choice
• There is no Gorilla Glass protecting the screen
• The smartphone is a bit pricier than it should be

Verdict

The very first ASUS ZenFone Max smartphone (ZC550KL) was a model that we appreciated greatly. Then came the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max (ZC520TL) which was a bit of a disappointment in our view. This was also confirmed by user feedback and, as a result, ASUS decided to take action and release ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL). This revision is a great upgrade in many ways that matter: the processor, the camera, and the performance that it offers. If you want to buy a smartphone from the ZenFone Max family, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 (ZC553KL) is the one to choose. The only important downside is the price, which could have been slightly smaller. However, the winter sales will be here soon and we expect ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 to be available at great prices, making it a must-buy in its niche.

Hardware specifications and packaging

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5, also known as ASUS ZC553KL by its factory name, arrives in a box that is made from white cardboard. It is soft to the touch and looks good. On the top, there is an illustration of the smartphone that shows what it looks like both from its front and from its rear side. Near this illustration, you can also see that the smartphone is called Zenfone 3 Max 5.5.

On the sides you will find information about this smartphone and some of its most important characteristics. Turn the box bottom up, and you will find detailed information about the exact smartphone model, the IMEI code, serial number and so on.

Inside the package, you will find the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 sitting on top of a paper tray. Underneath it, there is the power charger with a detachable USB to micro USB cable, a micro USB to USB OTG cable that you can use to charge other devices from your smartphone's battery, a pin for ejecting the SIM tray, the warranty card, and the user manual. Unfortunately, there are no earphones included.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is available in four different color variations: Sand Gold, Titanium Gray, Glacier Silver, and Rose Pink. These are the same colors that we have seen for the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max, with one exception: Rose Pink is found only on the ZenFone 3 Max 5.5. The model that we tested was the Titanium Gray one.

As the name implies, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 has a 5.5 inch screen. This is one of the main differences between this model and the smaller ASUS ZenFone 3 Max, which has a 5.2 inch display. ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 offers a Full HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels and uses IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology, which means that the viewing angles are very wide and the colors should be close to natural. The front side of the smartphone, including the display, is protected by 2.5D contoured glass.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 uses a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core 430 processor running at 1.4GHz. For video rendering, the smartphone relies on an Adreno 505 video chip that runs at 450MHz and which has support for DirectX 12.1 and OpenGL 3.2. In comparison, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max offers a quad-core MediaTek processor running at 1.25 GHz and a Mali-T720MP2 video chip (with support for DirectX 9.3 and OpenGL 3.1). When it comes to processing power, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is definitely an improvement over its predecessor.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 also comes with 32GB of internal flash storage space, and 2 or 3GB of LPDDR3 memory, depending on the exact version that you buy. It is also worth noting that you can always expand the storage capacity of the smartphone by adding a microSD card of up to 128 GB. The microSD card is inserted instead of the secondary SIM, which means you will have to choose between having more storage space or being able to use the smartphone with two SIM cards simultaneously. You cannot have them both. Note that the model that we tested had 3 GB of RAM.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 offers a rear camera with a 16 megapixels sensor and an aperture of f/2.0. The camera benefits from a fast laser autofocus sensor, it can shoot pictures with HDR, and it can take advantage of the built-in Dual-LED flash in low light environments. On the front side of the smartphone, you also get a selfie camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels and a f/2.2 aperture.

If you are curious about the connectivity options that you get, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 offers a Bluetooth 4.1 chip and a wireless network card that can connect only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks using the 802.11 b/g/n wireless standards. What that means is that you will not be able to connect to wireless networks that are broadcast over the 5GHz radio frequency.

This smartphone is a Dual SIM device, and it supports 4G LTE connections. However, if you use it in Dual SIM mode, only one SIM card can connect and use 3G and 4G LTE networks. The secondary SIM card can use the only 2G. Furthermore, the smartphone uses a Dual SIM Dual Standby implementation, which means that both SIM cards are active in standby, but when you take a call on one of them, the other becomes inactive.

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 also includes a variety of sensors: proximity, ambient light sensor, gyro sensor, e-compass, fingerprint scanner, accelerator, and a laser sensor.

The battery is an essential part of any smartphone, and it is even more so in the case of the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5. This model brags about having a large capacity of 4100 mAh (non-removable). It is the same battery that is found on the previous ASUS ZenFone 3 Max.

Having a 5.5 inch screen, the smartphone is also a bit larger than its predecessor. This one is 5.96 inches (151.4 mm) in length, 3 inches (76.24 mm) wide and 0.33 inches (8.3 mm) thick. It weighs 6.17 ounces, which is 175 grams in the metric system.

Unpacking the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 was a pleasant experience, and our first impressions were positive. Unlike its smaller brother, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max, the 5.5 model has a larger display, and its hardware specifications are better, which is a welcome change, desired by many users.

Design and build quality

The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is designed both for ease of use and good looks. Although it has many similarities with the previous model, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 also has some design characteristics of its own. For example, the body is built from metal, and you do not often see this on budget smartphones. With the sole exception of the screen, which is covered in 2.5D contoured glass, all else is covered by the metallic frame of the smartphone.

On the front side of the smartphone, besides the large screen, you can find the ear speaker and the front camera at the top, and the default Android buttons at the bottom. Unlike on the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max, the 5.5 model uses capacitive buttons for Back, Home and Recent apps. As a side note, we always prefer having these buttons separate from the screen.

The back of the smartphone is all-metal. On the lower area there is a dark gray ASUS logo, and towards the top, there are the fingerprint sensor, the camera, and its aids: the Dual LED flash and the autofocus laser sensor. The fingerprint sensor has a rectangular shape and is slightly sunken inside the body of the phone, making it easy to find.

The edges of the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 are rounded, and they are home to all the usual parts that are found on Android smartphones. On the bottom edge, there is the micro USB port, the loudspeaker grille and a small pin hole where the microphone is found.

On the top edge, there's an audio jack and a small pin hole for the secondary microphone. On the right edge, towards the top, there are the power button and the volume rocker. On the left edge, you have the SIM tray. A nice detail is the fact that the side buttons have a different texture from the rest of the body, and that makes it easy to identify them.

Although the ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 is a budget smartphone, it looks good, and it has a solid build quality. We like its design, and the fact that it feels sturdy and reliable.
