Well, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is definitely a massive success for the company. Launched in April as the first stock Android smartphone from the brand, this one achieved 1 million units of sale in less than 6 months. The USP of this device is its enormous 5000mAh battery, which gave it an edge over the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in the same price bracket. Likewise, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Zenfone Max M2 are likely to take on the rivals from the Chinese brand in their respective price range.

Given that the launch event is all set to debut roughly in an hour, we can get to know all the details of these upcoming Zenfone models soon.
