The packaging is a not too glossy affair with plenty detail put into making it look beautiful. There are at least three levels to the unboxing and each level feels like you are going through a maze trying to locate the accompanying accessories.On the first level is the device lying its own compartment.

First Impressions

The Innjoo Max 2 Plus is a little bit heavy and feels awkward.Even for somebody used to big phones,it's gritty metallic casing makes the size uncomfortable to handle.The big battery may be a contributory factor to its size. The user interface looks different from the Innjoo One at first glance, but a closer examination shows that there is no change, its same old.There is no dedicated menu button to revert to apps as the whole apps are a left swipe away on the home screen,this is new and strange to me.And somewhat uncomfortable,I keep pressing the menu button to display my icons every  time,until I remember its a left swipe,weird.

Battery

The 4,600 mAh is a big deal,literarily. It is the first in the Innjoo family and its fast charge feature is also a new born in the company's innovation family.

Price

The Innjoo Max 2 would retail at e-commerce stores for #23,500 and might slide further down the price spectrum on Black Friday, so keep your eyes peeled and wait.
