The new Max
I just got my Zenfone 3 Max, in replacement from my Zenfone Max. It was all beautiful. Lighter. Bigger memory. Faster. May major issue lang ako:
1. Iba na yung way of inserting sim and memory card. Compartment na sya. You cant do dual sim when you have SD Card. 🙁
2. LUMABO YUNG CAMERA. Same ng megapixels, yes, pero we all know hindi dun nasusukat ang linaw ng camera. I think dinowngrade nila yung lens. 🙁 Yun lang. Kasi I loved the clearness ng camera ni Zenfone Max eh. Huhu
