HIGHLIGHTS

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 now starts at Rs 7,999 on Flipkart.

The phone sells along with its successor, the Zenfone Max Pro M2, in the market.

Though the Zenfone Max Pro M1 was succeeded by the Zenfone Max Pro M2 in December last year, Asus continues to sell the model that proved to be a huge success for it. In a tweet sent last evening, the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer announced a permanent price cut for the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. On Flipkart, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 now starts at Rs 7,999 and goes all the way up to Rs 11,999 depending on the configuration.

The base variant with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage now sells for Rs 7,999 instead of the previous Rs 8,499. The middle variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage now sells for Rs 8,999 instead of the previous Rs 10,499. The top-of-the-line variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage now sells for Rs 11,999 instead of the previous Rs 12,499. It's quite obvious that the middle variant is the one with the deepest price cut.

Launched in India in May 2018, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset with up to 6GB of RAM. The phone comes with expandable storage. The 18:9 display measures 5.99 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. The Zenfone Max Pro M1 employs an aluminium body and weighs 180g. Part of the reason for the phone's bulk is its 5000mAh non-removable  lithium-ion polymer battery. It also supports 10W fast charging.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 comes with a dual camera setup on the back panel: a 13-megapixel primary sensor with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 5-megapixel depth sensor with an aperture of f/2.4. The selfie camera is an 8-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f/2.0. It's combined with a soft LED flash. The phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box but is upgradeable to Android 9 Pie.
