The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 arrived in the Indian market with the intention to dethrone the Xiaomi Redmi Note series from the top spot in the budget segment. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, a 5.99″ 18:9 LCD display, dual rear cameras, a combined three slot tray for dual SIMs and a microSD card, a 5,000 mAh battery, and stock Android 8.1 out of the box, the Zenfone Max Pro M1 gives very tough competition to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and even exceeds it in certain areas.

If you’re willing to be a bit adventurous with your new Zenfone Max Pro M1, you can now also try out an unofficial Android P Developer Preview 5 port thanks to efforts from XDA Recognized Developer erfanoabdi.
