Portrait shots as well. This is where the secondary 5 megapixel depth sensor comes in. For the most part, it is accurate at detecting the edges and separating the subject from the background. You can adjust the amount of blur in the background while taking the images. And it gives good results while shooting in indoor lighting conditions as well. That being said, it is not perfect and definitely needs some refinements via software updates. While shooting many of these images, it missies out certain areas around the subject. Liken these images, it struggled to detect and blur out the areas under my arm. Its’ as minor issue, and I am sure ASUS can refine and fix it with future software updates. Just like with humans, it can take portrait mode images of objects as well. I think bit more accurate while detecting the edges of these non-human subjects. Again the backgrounds blurred out nice and evenly, and the overall images look very good. 

Now let’s move to the images from indoor, artificial and low light situations. This is where the Max Pro M1 really struggled with, but the Max pro m2 does a much better job. Just make sure to switch to the Auto or night mode while taking images in these situations, because if you leave the camera on HDR mode, chances are, you will end up with lot of blurry images. Colors and detail levels are good in these situations as well. But since it does not have OIS and size of each individual pixels not as big as some go the other phones, it has to increase the ISO in these situations, and this brings in some noise in these low light images. It is not the best at handling the exposure from bright lights when you are taking images like this. But you still have to rely on the camera, as there is no exposure adjustment in the auto mode. You can go to Pro mode, and adjust the ISO, Exposure and shutter speed to make the images look better. But I know most people who get these bought phones, are not too keen on playing with these settings. And in those cases, they might be a bit unsatisfied. The cameras are good and there is no issue with that, but the app itself is a bit limiting, and not letting us taking full advantage of these cameras. That brings us to the front facing camera. This 13 megapixel sensor can take, sharp and detailed selfie, and again a big improvement over the front facing camera of the Zenfone Max Pro M1. Colors are good and accurate, an for the most part, it handles the dynamic range pretty well, unless you are taking selfies right against the sun, like I did with this image. But I would say, even with the sun blowing all the highlights in the background, camera did pretty well to capture lot details from my face and from the shadows of my t-shirt. Low light selfies are a lot softer in comparison, but you do get a front facing Flash, or a torch, to help you take slightly better selfies, when the light is very low. 

With the latest software update, ASUS did add the Portrait mode to the front facing camera. It is good at detecting the edges and separating the subject from background. Colors and dynamic range is also good in these portrait selfies, and I think the portrait mode on the front facing camera of this phone, is better than the portrait mode on its rear cameras. Here is a video from the front facing camera of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2.  a big-name. It’s very bright outside, so you can see how this phone is handling the exposure of the skin, overall colors in the background, and stabilization when I am walking around with it. Due to EIS, Video from this front facing camera is cropped in a lot. So after looking at all the image and video samples, it is clear that the Zenfone Max pro m2 has got a good set of cameras. Cameras not being good or up to the mark was the number1 complain, or concerns of the people who got, or were thinking of getting the Max proM1. 

 Good to see ASUS backing up the new phone with an impressive set of cameras. If you were on the fence while making a decision about this phone, let this be the slight nudge you needed in favor of this phone. Max pro M2 has a good design, good set of cameras, is powered by a snapdragon 660 processor and backed up by a massive 5000mAh battery. Ithink this might be the perfect midrange smartphone that many of you are looking for. In this video, we saw that cameras on this phone are really good, but are they good enough to be compared with the likes go the read mi Note 6 Pro or the MI A2?
