The Ultimate Review

With another device in the Mid-Range price point the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a device that can give other budget smartphones a run for their money. It has improved a lot over the previous Asus offerings namely the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

 

The device now offers three variants in the md price range of Rupees 10000-20000. The three variants have 3/4/6 GB RAM and 32/64/64 internal storage respectively. This helps the user in buying the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Variant according to their needs.

 

The Camera has definitely seen an upgrade and provides better pictures in natural lighting conditions. Even low light pictures from the primary camera are better than what other devices offer.

 

With a dedicated slot for memory card, users who want to store all their data on their devices can insert a micro SD card expandable upto 2TB and still use two dual sim cards that support dual VoLTE.

 

A mega sized battery of 5000mAh keeps the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 running longer and gives a screen on-time of upto 9 hours.

 

The Corning Gorilla Glass 6 has shown no damage even when dropped from the height of a normal person. This keeps the display from being damaged by accidental drops. The plastic body colors Blue and Titanium give the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 a premium feel in the hand.

 

Overall the Phone is a Value for money purchase and can be considered as the daily driver for most users.
