Asus Zenfone Max - A Power-packed Budget Smartphone

It’s interesting to see that everyone in extended family is using Smartphone these days. Most of these are Android phones and a few iPhones. I hardly see anyone using Tablet for a long time. I and few cousins have bought Android tablets, but hardly use these now. And if I look at the phones being used, many of them are in the range of 10k-20K Rs. But there is one common thing, which almost everyone complains about – these phones need better batteries, especially when 3G is being used most of the times. And issue is even bigger when you use camera very frequently.Recently Asus approached me review their new phone and during the call with Asus team, I got to know about it’s battery. 5000 mAh battery made curious to know more about the phone and try it out. Yesterday I unpacked the phone and sharing few details about the phone here and would try to write another post, when I use the phone for few more weeks.Most of the phone in this budget (10K) offer 3000-3500 mAh battery, and certainly 5000k is interesting number. But it would also depend how much battery this phone consumes, which is yet to be tried. Overall I find it a good deal in terms of battery offering because it’s simply 1.5 times what other phones offer.There is one thing unique about Asus Zenfone Max that you can charge another phone through this device :). Which means that I can help other co-traveller to keep the phone alive. The downside is it’s embedded battery, which is not user-replaceable.Asus Zenfone Max has Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core processor and comes with 2GB/3GB ram. It has got 32GB memory which is extendable to 64GB.Built of this phone is better than other Zenfone series devices. I liked the leather cover at the back. It’s claimed to be sleek, but it’s not that sleek unless you compare with others side-by-side and in my opinion that’s not the idea :).Supposedly, Zenfone Max camera has better performance while shooting indoor or in low lighting conditions. I am yet to try that out. Probably it’s because of f/2, but let’s see how it performs and how is depth-of-field at f/2. Check more specification and stay tuned to it’s detailed review, especially battery and camera performance.

 As a traveller, I am truly excited to see how much this battery would help me during my treks. Another Traveller friend shares about Asus Zenfone Max here.

Main places to see & Top things to do around Dalhousie : Stunning Hill Station in Himalayan State of India

  Dalhousie is one of the most popular Hill Stations in Himachal  and there is lot to explore around Dalhousie. This is small and very well maintained town in Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh . This Photo Journey shares some of the exciting places around Chamba and how to plan a good one day tour through Khajjiar, Chamba & Chamera etc. CHAMERA HYDROLIC PROJECT Chamera Hydroelectric Project is located in Banikhet, 7 kms from Dalhousie. The water body near the lake is very scenic and is a popular boating spot. Chamera Dam is around 40 kilometers from Chamba Town. It takes approximately 1.5 hrs to reach the place is road condition is good. Overall it’s a little dry terrain as compared to Dalhousie and Khajjiar. And temperature also goes up as we go towards Chamera Dam.  As you move out from Chamba town, you follow Ravi river for some time and then take right. After 45 minutes of drive, you get a glimpse of Chemera Dam.
