The Zenfone Max Pro M2 will offer a modern notched display and is tipped to offer a more powerful processor.
Earlier this year, ASUS came up with its Zenfone Max Pro M1 to rival the likes of Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 Pro and Moto G series phones. With a wide array of consumer-friendly features, the handset quickly became one of the highest selling budget smartphones, posing a threat to the segment-leading Redmi Note 5 Pro. Since then, Xiaomi unveiled their updated Redmi Note 6 Pro and adopted modern features such as a notched display, better cameras and an overall refined package. ASUS isn’t sitting quiet and is gearing up for an answer to the Note 6 with the Zenfone Max Pro M2.
ASUS already went out with teasers on its social media channels recently, flaunting the most important feature that will set the successor apart from its predecessor – a display notch. Yes, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 will finally go in for the notch trend. The teaser video shows the display notch holding a single front camera, an LED flash and earpiece. The size of the notch is fairly small when compared to its immediate rival. ASUS has also stated that the Max Pro M2 will feature Gorilla Glass 6 protection, which will make it the first smartphone in its segment to offer the latest display protection from Corning.
