ZenFone Max is interesting because it has extra large 5.000mAh battery and can be used as powerbank. The spec is also nice with 5.5-inch, Lollipop, Gorilla Glass 4, Snapdragon 410 and 2GB of RAM, 15 and 5MP camera, and LTE. But no pricing yet.

All of the Zenfone 2 laser will come with Qualcomm processor.
