News & Reviews:   ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1

Another round of the ASUS ZenFone RM1 Frenzy deal is back in the ASUS Official Store on Lazada! The RM1 Frenzy deal will start at 3PM sharp on 24 July 2018. However, you need to act fast as there are limited units of the devices available. To be exact, there are 2 units of ASUS ZenFone 5 and 10 units of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 up for grabs.

So apparently, ASUS Malaysia has collaborated with Lazada TV Livestream yesterday showcasing the new ZenFone phones lineup - ZenFone 5, ZenFone Max Pro M1 and ZenFone Live. Throughout the live stream session, they did some giveaway prizes but lo and behold, to reward their fans they have announced a new flash sales - The RM1 Frenzy (sayyy whhaaatttt??!)

The ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 Flash Sale is back again on Lazada with the device priced at RM599 during sale period. The sale will happen every Tuesday starting from 3 July 2018, followed by 10, 17, 24, and 31 July 2018. That’s not all! The first 500 customers to place an order of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 will be eligible to receive Lazada’s express delivery by the next following business day. It is best to note that the express delivery is limited only within the Klang Valley area only.

In this short news, ASUS Malaysia has announced on their Facebook page that the customers who have ordered the ZenFone Max Pro (M1) 4GB + 64GB model will receive a complimentary 32GB microSD Card as a token of apology. This is due to the shipment delay happening elsewhere so they really feel bad about it. That being said, the new shipment date was also revealed and it will arrive on 10 July 2018 onwards. What a bummer.

Due to overwhelming response during the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 @ Lazada Flash Sales, the device was sold out within 30 seconds. But don’t worry, the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 will still be priced at RM599 during future flash sales which will still be happening on the 12, 19, and 26 June 2018. Be sure to mark your calendar as to not miss this amazing smartphone deal. In case you do miss it however, you can still acquire the device for RM649 from July 2018 onwards.

When ASUS first came into the market with their ZenFones, they offered good design value-busting devices for affordable prices. Granted, there have been a few hiccups along the way but ASUS looks to be coming back to their value-busting roots with the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1.

Featuring a massive 5000 mAh battery, the latest midrange Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, pure or stock Android and more, this new disruptive device could shake the foundations of Malaysia's value market once more especially priced for just RM699. Find out if it is the #limitlessgaming device for the masses ASUS says it is in our review below.

ASUS Malaysia have officially launched their ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 ZB 602KL smartphone for a value busting RM699 along side their new midrange ASUS ZenFone 5 ZE620KL for an also very affordable RM1299. The ZenFone Max Pro M1 will be available exclusively on Lazada starting 1 June 2018 as well as the ZenFone 5 on 4 July 2018.

As the launch for the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 and ZenFone 5 approaches, we managed to get in some hands-on time to unbox the rumoured to be RM699 value busting ZenFone Max Pro M1. Offering a midrange Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, a stock Android 8.1 interface with a massive 5000 mAh battery and 5.99-inch fullview fullHD+ display, we take the phone through its paces but you can see for yourself here.

Previously, we teased that the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 is below RM800 and considering its specs, the price value is really a good catch there. But recently, someone in Lazada actually leaked an "official" price online before it was taken down, revealing the 3GB + 32GB model is RM699, while the 4GB + 64GB is RM799.

In our recent hands-on with the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 we managed to get up close and personal with this next value buster smartphone. Going back to their basics of making good feature devices for value-busting prices, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 is set to be another disruptive device for Malaysia's market considering that it not only has the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, a full HD+ fullview display and a massive 5000 mAh battery but also because the price is expected to be a value-busting below RM800.
