The company seems hushed on its new phones. But rumours and leaks suggest that Asus will launch the Zenfone Max Pro M2. Successor to the Zenfone Max Pro M1, the new smartphone is expected to come with upgrades and improvements over the former.

Asus had launched the Zenfone Max Pro M1 earlier this April with a starting price of ₹10,999. A tested performer, the Zenfone Max Pro M1 is one of the top budget phones in its price range. The smartphone packs a massive 5,000mAh battery, and runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 636 processor. Unlike other Asus phones, it runs stock Android 8.1 Oreo on the software front.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 sports a dual 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear cameras, and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. It has a 5.99-inch full HD+ display.
