We’re still putting the Asus Zenfone 4 Max Lite through its paces but a look at what it offers on paper, the Max Lite will definitely be intended for light usage though we do like that the Taiwanese brand has retained most of the features from the base model; albeit with a bit of a step down. You’re still getting a dual camera setup with the Max Lite though you are seeing a slight dip in megapixel count as well. The Asus Zenfone 4 Max Lite also takes a hit in the battery department but still sits slight above the 4000mAh mark and the inclusion of fast charging is a good addition to make sure you’re not tethered to a wall outlet for too long.

In terms of price, you’re looking at a difference of Php 2K; with the Zenfone 4 Max having a price tag of Php 9,995, while the ZF4 Max Lite has a price tag of Php 7,995.
