拆箱华硕 ZenFone Max Pro (M2) 智能手机是一种愉快的体验。我们很欣赏这样一个事实，除了智能手机及其必备配件外，它还配备了一副耳机和一个保险杠。(Unboxing the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) smartphone is a pleasant experience. We appreciate the fact that, besides the smartphone and its essential accessories, it also comes with a pair of earphones and a bumper.)
设计和建造质量
华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2) 是一款智能手机，它的光泽和反光外观吸引了您的注意。在正面，6.3 英寸的大屏幕在顶部和侧面有相当窄的边框，在底部有一个稍大的边框。当您查看智能手机时，您会注意到缺口小于平均水平。这是可能的，因为手机的耳机不在凹槽内，而是在凹槽上方。
华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2)的背面也是一个引人注目(attention seeker)的焦点，由闪亮的玻璃制成，展示了智能手机的外壳颜色(case color)。这款智能手机有两种不同的颜色可供选择：宇宙钛和午夜蓝(Cosmic Titanium and Midnight Blue)。正如您在图片中看到的，我们测试的模型是午夜蓝(Midnight Blue)。
华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2)的背面也是相机系统(camera system)和指纹识别器(fingerprint reader)所在的地方。双摄像头及其LED 闪光灯(LED flash)位于智能手机的左上角，而圆形指纹传感器(round fingerprint sensor)位于中央，左右手均可轻松触及。
在智能手机的右边缘，您可以找到电源按钮(power button)和音量(volume rocker)键，而在左侧，则是SIM 卡(SIM)和 microSD 卡的托盘。虽然我用左手握住智能手机，但我发现侧面按钮相当容易够到。但是，我的手指比一般人长。对于那些手指较短的人来说，达到音量摇杆(volume rocker)可能是一个挑战。
在华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2) 的底部边缘，有所有常见的东西。从左到右，您会看到一个用于耳机的 3.5毫米音频插孔(mm audio jack)、主麦克风、一个用于充电和数据传输的微型 USB 端口（我们更喜欢USB Type-C 端口(USB Type-C port)）和扬声器。
虽然这款智能手机的边框是塑料材质的，但看起来还是不错的，背面的亮面玻璃让它脱颖而出。我们喜欢屏幕边框很窄并且缺口小于平均水平的事实。但是，我们更喜欢 USB Type-C 端口而不是 micro-USB，如果音量摇杆更容易用一只手触及，我们会很喜欢它。(Although the frame of this smartphone is made of plastic materials, it looks good, and the glossy glass on its back makes it stand out. We like the fact that the screen bezels are narrow and that the notch is smaller than the average. However, we would have preferred a USB Type-C port instead of micro-USB, and we would have liked it if the volume rocker was easier to reach with one hand.)

华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2) 配备 6.3 英寸IPS LCD 大显示屏(IPS LCD display)，纵横比(aspect ratio)为 19:9 ，分辨率为 1080 x 2280像素。这意味着您获得的像素密度高于平均水平，约为 403 ppi。为了保护屏幕免受刮擦和偶尔跌落，智能手机使用了Gorilla Glass 6。

该智能手机支持GSM、HSPA和LTE，并且可以安装两张 nano- SIM卡。这是一个双SIM 卡设备(SIM device)，使用双待机实现(Standby implementation)。华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2)的一个优点是它具有三个独立的插槽：两个用于SIM卡，另一个用于 micro-SD 卡。
至于它的自主性，华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2) 配备了一块容量为 5000 mAh 的巨大不可拆卸锂电池。这令人印象深刻，但不幸的是，这款手机不支持快速充电。换句话说，电池在两次充电之间应该可以使用很长时间（大约两天），但给电池充电也需要很长时间（大约两个半小时）。
华硕 ZenFone Max Pro(ASUS ZenFone Max Pro) (M2)背面有两台摄像头：一台配备 12 兆像素传感器和 f/1.8 光圈，另一台配备 5 兆像素传感器和 f/2.4 光圈。相机系统(camera system)具有相位检测自动对焦(phase-detection autofocus)( PDAF )、用于低光摄影的LED 闪光灯和(LED flash)深度传感器(depth sensor)。在正面，你会得到一个 13 兆像素的自拍相机(selfie camera)，带有 f/2.0光圈和 LED 闪光灯(aperture and LED flash)。
ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) 有一个微型 USB 端口（不幸的是不是USB Type-C(USB Type-C)）、蓝牙 5.0(Bluetooth 5.0)、NFC和支持 802.11 b/g/n 标准的单频 2.4 GHz 无线。(GHz wireless)至于内置传感器，您可以获得面部识别（使用前置摄像头(front camera)）、手机背面的指纹传感器、 (fingerprint sensor)GPS、加速度计、接近度和指南针传感器。

Unboxing the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) smartphone is a pleasant experience. We appreciate the fact that, besides the smartphone and its essential accessories, it also comes with a pair of earphones and a bumper.
Design and build quality
The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is a smartphone that draws your attention with its glossy and reflective appearance. On the front, the large 6.3-inch screen has fairly narrow bezels at the top and on its sides, and a slightly larger one at the bottom. When you look at the smartphone, you notice that the notch is smaller than the average. That's possible because the phone's ear speaker is not found inside the notch, but above it.
The back of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is also an attention seeker, made of gleaming glass that showcases the smartphone's case color. This smartphone is available in two different color variations: Cosmic Titanium and Midnight Blue. As you can see in the pictures, the model that we tested was Midnight Blue.
The back of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is also the place where the camera system and the fingerprint reader are found. The dual camera and its LED flash are positioned towards the top-left corner of the smartphone, while the round fingerprint sensor is centered, to be easily reached with both your left and right hand.
On the right edge of the smartphone, you find the power button and the volume rocker, while on the left side, there's the tray for the SIM and microSD cards. Although I use my left hand to hold my smartphone, I found the side buttons to be fairly easy to reach. However, my fingers are longer than average. For those of you with shorter fingers, reaching the volume rocker might be a challenge.
On the bottom edge of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2), there are all the usual things. From left to right, you get a 3.5 mm audio jack for earphones, the main microphone, a micro-USB port for charging and data transfers (we would have preferred a USB Type-C port), and the loudspeaker.
Although the frame of this smartphone is made of plastic materials, it looks good, and the glossy glass on its back makes it stand out. We like the fact that the screen bezels are narrow and that the notch is smaller than the average. However, we would have preferred a USB Type-C port instead of micro-USB, and we would have liked it if the volume rocker was easier to reach with one hand.
Hardware specifications
The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) features a large 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. This means that you get a higher than average pixel density of approximately 403 ppi. To protect its screen against scratches and occasional drops, the smartphone uses Gorilla Glass 6.
The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) draws its computing power from a Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 chipset built on the 14-nanometer manufacturing process and uses an octa-core processor with four cores running at 2.2 GHz the other four running at 1.8 GHz. The graphics are handled by an Adreno 512 graphics chip, which, according to Wikipedia, supports the following APIs: Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL 3.3, and Direct3D 11.
In terms of storage and RAM, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is available in several different configurations: with 32, 64, or 128 GB of internal storage space and with 3, 4 or 6 GB of RAM. Furthermore, you can also expand the storage space using a microSD card of up to 2 TB.
The smartphone supports GSM, HSPA, and LTE, and can fit two nano-SIM cards. It's a Dual SIM device, using a Dual Standby implementation. A good thing about the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is that it has three separate slots: two for SIM cards and another one for the micro-SD card.
As for its autonomy, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) comes with a huge non-removable Li-Po battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. That's impressive, but, unfortunately, the phone doesn't support fast charging. In other words, the battery should last you for a long time between charges (about two days), but charging its battery also takes a long time (about two and a half hours).
On its back, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) has two cameras: one with a 12-megapixel sensor and f/1.8 aperture, and another one with a 5-megapixel sensor and f/2.4 aperture. The camera system has phase-detection autofocus (PDAF), an LED flash for low-light photography, and a depth sensor. On the front, you get a 13-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture and LED flash.
The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) has a micro-USB port (unfortunately not USB Type-C), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and single-band 2.4 GHz wireless with support for the 802.11 b/g/n standards.
