ZenFone Max Pro M1 was a significant launch for Asus and helped it confront the budget king, Xiaomi, and regain lost ground over the past couple of years. The smartphone sold like hotcakes and still is, however, its successor – ZenFone Max Pro M2 – has today made its much-awaited debut in India and there’s a lot to like here.
The base variant (3GB+32GB) of the ZenFone Max Pro M2 has been priced at Rs 12,999, whereas the 4GB + 64GB version is priced at Rs 14,999, and the highest-end variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage is priced at Rs 16,999.
The ZenFone Max Pro M2 isn’t an iterative upgrade like its arch-nemesis Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 6 Pro but instead, brings along quite a lot of changes in tow. The smartphone now dons a glass-like finish on the back and features a notched display on the front.
The ZenFone Max Pro M2 sports a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD screen, with a resolution of 2280×1080 pixels and 94 percent NTSC color gamut. And as Asus has been touting, this device comes with Gorilla Glass 6 protection and that’s impressive in its price segment.
There’s your usual set of connectivity options and a fingerprint sensor on the rear as well. To sum it all up, you can check out the complete specs of the ZenFone Max Pro M2 in the table attached below:
Beebom’s Take
As you can obviously see in our first impression video below, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 brings a number of positive and likable changes in tow. Be it the modern design, a powerful new chipset, or improved cameras, this smartphone is certainly a step ahead of what we saw earlier this year.
