Energizer has launched two new products in their growing smartphone line-up. The new Power Max 490 and 490S might not be the flashiest devices around, but at least Energizer really knows what their market wants.
Staying true to their company’s roots, the Energizer Power Max 490 and 490S highlight features are their batteries. Both devices come with a large 4,000mAh battery, which can easily last you for two days or more.
Having a large battery also means that the new Power Max smartphones are meant for the outdoors-y. Hence, it also has a rugged build with a tempered glass panel and a shockproof casing.
Their camera setup is also the same. There’s a 5-megapixel camera on the front and an 8-megapixel shooter on the back. Both are coupled with a VGA camera for depth sensing.
The Energizer Power Max 490 is the superior model between the two. It runs on a MediaTek MT6739WA quad-core processor, has 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage. It then boots on Android 8.1 Oreo.
On the other hand, the Energizer Power Max 490S is downgraded to a MediaTek MT6580 quad-core processor, with only 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
Thankfully, the device runs on Android Oreo Go Edition, so expect a decent performance from this thing despite the underwhelming hardware.
