ASUS India has announced that their first-ever "Made in India" smartphone, the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 will now be available for purchase 24/7, exclusively on Flipkart.com. This marks an end to the flash sales model that was being followed for this device, although this extends to two variants of the device only.
The ZenFone Max Pro M1 is receiving tremendous response in the Indian smartphone market, as it brings heavy competition to established value players like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro. The ZenFone Max Pro M1 began its sales through a flash sales model, which saw the device being sold out in every sale in a matter of minutes. To make the best of the situation, Asus has ramped up the production and supply of the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variants, and has now made them available for purchase round the clock.
As for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant that went on its first flash sale on 26 July 2018, Asus is working hard to making this variant readily available. For now, this variant will continue on with the flash sales model till its availability ramps up.
The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 certainly ticks a lot of the right boxes for a user looking to purchase a competitive, value device. You get an excellent device with specs that match the toughest competition, an excellent pricing scheme, stock Android Oreo 8.1 out of the box, and bootloader unlock and kernel source code as well. With the open sale model, the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 beats the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in availability, making it natural for customers to pick up Asus's available device over Xiaomi's unavailable device. Asus is also doing well for Android updates, so we are certainly hopeful for the future of this device.
