Satisfaction depends on your usage. If you want a long life battery, I can say that this is worth it. It lasts up to 48 hours (depends on your usage) Mine lasts for more than 24hrs (Facebook,YouTube,Netflix,etc.). For the whole year of using it, I never experience lagging. Tho, its not best for gaming. The camera is just so-so. Im not a gamer and not an aspiring photographer or what and battery life only matters to me so I'm satisfied. It really depends on you.

      Asus zenfone max m2 is the worst handset I had ever purchased.

      Purchased year: Jan 2019.

      Performance: Jan 2020 replaced motherboard due to software issue and same had been incurred after 4 months without any physical damage.

      Now company is telling that handset is out of warranty they niether had provided any solution for complaint mailed.

      Worst customer support.

              This phone exist just to prey on clueless customers who think they got the Max Pro M2 with lower price than Max Pro M1.And with no Max Pro M1 or M2 phone to compare, they just accept the phone's shortcomings as is.

                      I charge my phone till 95% and it lasts 2 days easily.
                      Given the fact I'm a office goer and play pubg 30 minutes daily and use mobile data 15 hours daily.
                      In one word.This phone is awesome.

                        (often even reviewers) thinking that

                        But both have nothing to do with the type of the USB-connector.

                        A lots of phones with micro USB supporting fast charging
                        and most of the phones with Type-C supporting USB 2.0 speeds only!

                        That's it!

                              No reason to keep the old microUSB still, it just breaks down a lot... I'm changing USB cables a lot, all the time...

                              This review is made in India. So, we might sadly not see the Audio quality review.
                              720p display is (unfairly) underrated.
                              Such a display is ok, becoz not everyone needs 1080p, not to mention the merits like increased fps in gaming, less battery use, etc....

                                An Asus means that every "update" will break the phone a bit and after 2 years, it will be completely broken with no more "update".

                                  And what about software updates and security patches ?

                                      Why is Asus still stuck with the old micro-USB port is something that I will never understand.
                                      Not like these phones have a large ecosystem of micro-USB accessories around them.
