MANILA, Philippines – Asus' newest budget phone, the Zenfone Max Pro, is now officially available as of Monday, June 25, via online store Lazada.
The Max Pro, announced in April 2018, trumpets its battery capacity, rated at 5,000 mAh – a number that's higher than most smartphones today.

Asus claims the 5,000mAh battery equates to 2 days of usage. It comes with Flash Charge technology, which Asus says, fuels up the battery from 0 to 100% in 2 hours and 42 minutes, and 0 to 60% in 1 hours and 11 minutes.
Other phones that reach the 5,000-mAh mark are the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 with a 5,300 mAh battery; the Gionee M7 Power with a 5,000 mAh battery; and the Moto E4 Plus with a 5,000 mAh battery. Only the E4 Plus is officially available in the Philippines.
