The position of the fingerprint sensor is good, especially given the size of the phone. The 3.5mm headphone jack is at the top. The micro-USB port is at the lower back. Speaker grills are given on both sides of it. But the speaker is just in the right.
Asus Zenfone Max M1 Specification and Software
Asus has used Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor in this handset. This decision is a bit strange, because it is the old chipset that Moto G5 And Moto G5s Like it has been a part of the old smartphone.

Asus Zenfone Max M1 Performance, Camera and Battery Life
After the initial setup, we have realized a little lag, but after a few hours this deficiency has gone away. We found that Max M1 can be unlocked fast with face recognition and fingerprint scanner. However, the old processor has been used in it. It also reflects in benchmark score. The benchmark score of Zenfone Max M1 should be less than the rest of this price range.
We played the PUBG game in the phone. It ran the lowest settings. After playing this game for about half an hour, the phone was heated, but the situation did not reach uncomfortable.
In our HD video loop test, Zenfone Max M1 died in 11 hours 32 minutes. If seen, it is slightly less than Redmi 6A and Redmi 6.

Photos taken in daylight from Max M1 were good. But the low light saw a decline in performance. The camera locked the focus according to our mind in the delite. The distant object lacked details and sharpness. Max M1 took some of the best macros shots. The separation between the subject and the background was good. HDR mode has to be enabled manual. This mode helps in taking better photos in bright conditions. HDR shots came better, but Max M1 forced us to wait after taking the shot. You will be able to take a portrait shot from the front and rear camera. But the edge detection is also weaker than the average.
The Max M1 is unable to capture the details in low light. In this, noise reduction is very aggressive, due to which the filter -like effect comes. You will be able to record videos up to 1080 pixels from both cameras of Max M1. No stabilization is available, so you have to keep your hands very stable while recording the video.
Our decision
Asus has launched two strong phones like Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and Asus Zenfone 5Z in different price segment. But Asus Zenfone Max M1 does not present as strong claim. Old Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 is much slower than the processor used in the rest of this price range.
Battery life goes to the side of Asus Zenfone Max M1. Due to a large 4000 mAh battery, the phone does not need to charge for about one and a half days. Max M1 is a good option if the battery life is the most important for you. Especially in the festive season, where this handset can be purchased with discounts.
