The most apparent difference between the Zenfone Max M2 and Zenfone Max Pro M2 is the presence of a glass exterior on the latter. The former, on the other hand, has the same conservative aluminum design found on the Zenfone Max M1. Both have 6.3-inch LCD screens but the Zenfone Max Pro M2 offers a 1080p panel (that’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6), while the Zenfone Max M2 is stuck with a 720p one. In addition, the Pro has a larger 5000mAh battery as compared to the non-Pro’s 4000mAh pack. Both, unfortunately, lack quick charging and feature a MicroUSB port. Like before, both the phones come preloaded with a stock build of Android 8.1.
The Zenfone Max Pro M2 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of onboard storage which can be expanded with a MicroSD card. The Zenfone Max M2, on the contrary, runs on the Snapdragon 632 chipset, 3/4GB of RAM, and up to 64GB of internal, expandable storage. As for the cameras, both have a total of three sensors. On the rear, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 carries a primary 12-megapixel camera paired with a secondary 5-megapixel snapper for depth-sensing, while the Zenfone Max M2 has the same main camera and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. For selfies, you will find a 13-megapixel shooter on the Zenfone Max Pro M2 and an 8-megapixel one on the Zenfone Max M2. The rest of the specifications are common among the two including a rear-mounted fingerprint rear, Dual 4G VoLTE, dedicated MicroSD card slot, and more. The Asus Zenfone Max M2 is priced at Rs 9,999 for the 3GB, 32GB variant and Rs 11,999 for 4GB RAM, 64GB storage. The Zenfone Max Pro M2 costs Rs 12,999 for 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, Rs 14,999 for 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and Rs 16,999 for 6GB RAM, 64GB storage. Both will be exclusively available on Flipkart.
