The ZenFone Max Pro M1 is arguably the best budget smartphone from Asus yet. The phone launched in India three months ago in two variants, one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, and one with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Now, Asus has launched a third variant, with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, priced at Rs. 14,999. This variant also has upgraded cameras on the front as well as the rear.
The ZenFone Max Pro M1 (6GB) is an extremely capable smartphone with stellar battery life, fluid software, a competent rear camera, and great performance. However, there are a few rough edges. The rear camera's autofocus is unreliable, and the front camera is not really an upgrade compared to the lower-end variants.
