Unboxing
Package includes:
- ASUS ZenFone 4 Max Pro
- Charging adapter
- Micro USB cable
- USB OTG cable
- Earphones
- Transparent soft case
- User manual & warranty info
The USB OTG cable other than allowing you to connect to external storage drives, it also allows you to charge another phone.
Which means your phone also works as a backup battery pack since it has a huge 5000 mAh battery.
The transparent soft case apparently felt slightly better quality than the one provided with ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro.
