If you care about the screen of your next device, then this 5.7-incher may be your match. The ASUS ZenFone Max Plus (M1) has an on-trend nearly borderless display, the Taiwanese manufacturer’s second 18:9 phone after the ZenFone Pegasus 4S. But unlike the Pegasus, this one is not China-bound. Its screen resolution is also better at 1080p.
