A Look at Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 Benchmark Scores

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has been with us for a while now. It’s the second smartphone in India to offer the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform, after the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. But it’s the first smartphone to offer stock Android combined with the power efficient SoC, as the Note 5 Pro boots Xiaomi’s MIUI 9 based on Android 7.1 Nougat. For the unaware, the Zenfone Max Pro M1 boots Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and offers Project Treble support as well. With the device being the first one to run stock Android and Snapdragon 636 chipset, we thought why not to put the device to test and share the benchmark scores.
