Early last month, ASUS officially announced the Lazada-exclusive ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1. In a gaming-focused launch last June 30, however, the brand has released a 4GB/64GB version of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1.
Aside from the bump on RAM and internal storage, there isn’t much to separate the new ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 to its 3GB/32GB counterpart. It still has a 5.99-inch IPS, FullHD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio for a resolution of 2160 x 1080.
Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 while imaging is handled by a 16MP + 5MP dual camera setup at the rear and an 8MP shooter at the front. Battery stays the same at 5,000mAh, which should give most users ample time of gaming.
