Additional details of the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1,
the first phone of the Asus-Flipkart partnership, have emerged. The phone will
live up to its name with a 5,000 mAh battery, which should last a long, long
time with the 14nm Snapdragon 636 chipset.
The phone will feature a 6” screen with an 18:9
aspect ratio and will run “pure Android Oreo”, though we’re not 100% sure if
this means Android One or not. The memory will feature up to 6 GB of RAM and up
to 64 GB storage (suggesting a 4 GB / 32 GB version). The good news is that
there will be three card slots – two for SIMs and one for a microSD.
The Zenfone Max Pro M1 will sport a dual 16 MP
camera on the back and a 16 MP selfie camera with face unlock. Next to the rear
camera there will be a fingerprint reader (which fires in 0.3 seconds).
Additional features include a “5 magnet” speaker with a dedicated NXP amp. The
M1 will be unveiled on April 23 and will be exclusive to Flipkart
in India.
