Taiwanese smartphone maker Asus has announced a price cut on the ZenFone 3 Max smartphone in India. Last year in November, Asus launched the ZenFone 3 Max at Rs 12,999. Later, the smartphone got a price cut of Rs 2,000. Now, after a year, the ZenFone 3 Max 5.2-inch variant again received a price cut of Rs1,000 and is available at Rs 9,999.
Asus says that the new price will be applicable across all the e-commerce sites like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and also in retail stores including Asus official stores in India.
The ZenFone 3 Max is the successor of ZenFone Max, which was launched in 2016. If we compare the predecessor to the ZenFone 3 Max, the successor comes with a brilliant camera resolution and a better display, and higher expandable storage capacity.
