The Zenfone Max Pro M1 was launched beginning last year which was succeeded by Zenfone Max Pro M2 later in the year. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 goes against the Redmi Note 7 in India right now and stands pretty well in front of the Xiaomi phone.
As far as the specs are concerned, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 comes packed with a 6.26-inch display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. On the hardware front, the phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor paired with up to 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage. One of the key highlights of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is its battery. The phone includes a big 5000mAh battery setup. Meanwhile, rumours and leaks about the Max Pro M2 aka Max Pro M3 have started making rounds on the internet which will most likely launch with Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box.
