After unveiling the ZenFone 5 series smartphones at the MWC 2018, ASUS now has started off with the ZenFone Max series this year, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 being the first to launch in India at an event held in Delhi.

As we know, the ZenFone Max smartphones are better known for its big battery, the new ZenFone Max Pro M1 also offers dual cameras, pure Android, 18:9 display, and a powerful Snapdragon 636 which makes it a Pro in the segment. It competes with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Honor 7X.

The ZenFone Max Pro M1 is made out of metal topped with a 6.0-inch Full HD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels) IPS screen with 18:9 aspect ratio. No, we are not seeing the notch found on the ZenFone 5.
