Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) and ASUS ZenFone Max are two giants in the field of battery smartphones for sure, but let’s see which one is the real king!

ASUS ZenFone Max vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: Best battery battle of the month

This is perhaps the first time we put Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) together with ASUS ZenFone Max in a battery battle. They both have massive cells, yet we cannot say anything in advance now that the Max or the Pro will be the winner. Before coming to their major differences, let’s look at what they have in common. Specifically, each of them packs a big 5,000mAh battery enabling you to use the phone in more than 3 days, a dual SIM, Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection, and a microSD card slot to expand its internal storage. In general, they are good phablets but if we have to pick out the stronger, the following different features will help.

Firstly, ASUS ZenFone Max specs contain a 5.5-inch HD screen, ASUS ZenUI based on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, a Snapdragon 410 quad-core 1.2GHz chip, 2GB of RAM, 8/16GB of ROM (expandable up to 64GB) and a combo of 13MP f/2.0 main (with laser autofocus plus dual LED flash) and a 5MP f/2.0 secondary camera. Except for the fantastic batt, the Max seems a good mid-range handset, but not a high-end one.

Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) specs are pretty much better since they include a 6.0-inch Full HD display, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS, a Snapdragon 652 (quad-core 1.8GHz + quad-core 1.2GHz) processor, up to 4GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM (expandable up to 128GB). In addition, there are a fingerprint scanner, Fast Charging tech and a brilliant 16MP rear + 8MP front shooter set on board to help run the whole device. We have to say Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) is the more powerful phone in terms of hardware. However, price is another thing.

ASUS ZenFone Max vs Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro: Price and availability

No doubt both Max and Pro are models that can perform any task well. Yet, due to some different specs, they are surely not priced at the same level. ASUS ZenFone Max price is $169.99 while Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) price is about $540, much higher than its rival. Well, we can understand the A9 Pro cost and bet it can give you great experience, but in case of just wanting something decent to use, ASUS ZenFone Max is the one!
