Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 could soon get its successor but with not just one or two but three rear camera sensors, as per the information shared by a tipster. The handset, which is likely to be called the ZenFone Max Pro M2, is expected come in multiple variants and one of those variants are likely to continue the legacy of offering a dual rear camera setup. Asus is also rumoured to bring the ZenFone Max M2 that could be the successor to the ZenFone Max M1. The new details come more than a month after the Taiwanese company announced the benchmark of selling over a million ZenFone Max Pro M1 units. The smartphone was launched in India back in April this year to take on the likes of the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Tipster Roland Quandt claimed that the ZenFone ZB634KL aka ZenFone Max Pro M2 would soon debut with a triple rear camera setup. In a tweet thread, Quandt also mentioned that alongside the ZB634KL, the Taiwanese company has plans to bring the ZB632KL that could be another variant of the ZenFone Max Pro M2. There could also be a ZB631KL variant with a triple rear camera setup. Furthermore, it is rumoured that a handset carrying model number ZB633KL could debut as the ZenFone Max M2.

Quandt, in a separate tweet, mentioned the rumoured specifications of the ZenFone Max Pro M2 ZB631KL and ZenFone Max M2 ZB633KL. The ZenFone Max Pro M2 ZB631KL is said to come with 6-inch full-HD+ display, triple rear camera setup, 13-megapixel selfie camera, 4GB RAM, 32GB/ 64GB onboard storage, and a Snapdragon 660 SoC. The ZenFone Max M2 ZB633KL is also rumoured with identical specifications, except a dual rear camera setup and a Snapdragon 636 SoC. He also highlighted that there will be the ZB632KL as a ZenFone Max M2 variant and the ZB634KL as a ZenFone Max M2 Pro model specifically for the Indian market.

On the specifications part, Quandt says that he isn't entirely sure. This means it's safe to take his words with a pinch of salt. However, he's confident about the information around the India-specific models.

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 is likely to arrive sometime before the end of the year, while the ZenFone Max M2 is rumoured to debut next year. The price details are yet to be reported, though both new ZenFone models are likely to have a competitive pricing to take on the competition. Notably, the triple rear camera setup on the ZenFone Max Pro M2 is expected to make it a strong contender against the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) that also has three rear camera sensors and a starting price tag of Rs. 23,990 for the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant.
