Home button and supports 2 SIM, supports 4G LTE and battery with 5,000 mAh capacity mode that can be used for charging the Power Bank to another machine.

Stunning DESIGN and DISPLAY!
The design is one of the high points of this device. The phone sports a metal shell, except for the plastic top and bottom parts for antennas. I love the way the device feels in hand due to rounding corners on the back and because it is a rather small phone. It has a 5.2” display, which only has 720p resolution. Still, it is a moderately good LCD panel, and it should be enough for most users. The only shortcoming is that it could have a slightly better sunlight clarity. The phone has a notification LED light, which sits next to the 5MP selfie shooter. However, we only have the on-screen navigation buttons that cannot be customized. Well, at least you can press the multitasking button to take a screenshot.

Besides, it works very smoothly and constant everyday use, even for those who expect more from this smartphone and occasionally plays a game. An excellent asset for the Zenfone 3S Max is Battery, no doubt. However, camera, which comes out of the corner very surprising for a device in this price range.
