Camera AI Functions to Follow
For its cameras, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 has dual rear shooters with a 12-megapixel main camera at an aperture of f/1.8 that’s backed by a Sony IMX486 sensor plus a 5-megapixel depth sensor. The front camera is a 13-megapixel shooter with an aperture of f/2.0. We were sort of surprised that a wide-angle lens was left out on the M2 since that’s the usual setup of Asus device that rock two cameras. During our sit down with the folks at Asus for the M2, a fair bit of discussion were about the AI functionalities on the shooters of their new device. It hasn’t quite made it into the unit that we have with us but, another reminder, this is a pre-release unit.
We didn’t think it was fair to judge the photos coming out of the shooters of the M2 just yet but we thought that the initial photos we took with the device were pretty good so we’re curious to see what improvement AI will bring in to the mix.
All Hail the Battery King!
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the M2 would have a kick-ass battery that would give you a tremendous amount of juice. It has a 5000mAh battery that easily lasted two days with my workload. We were able to run battery benchmarks on the phone already and it managed an impressive 17 hours and 38 minutes. If there was any doubt about the battery life on this device, that was surely erased when we saw the results of the test.
