Asus has already announced three new smartphones last month at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2018, but the ZenFone 5 Max, one of the devices leaked back in January, was not among them.
The ZenFone 5, 5z and 5 Lite are the new smartphones introduced by Asus this year, but more devices are likely to be added to the ZenFone family very soon. New information about the ZenFone5 Max suggests this is a mid-range handset rather than a top-tier one.
After making the rounds of Wi-Fi Alliance where it received its certification, the ZenFone 5 Max was recently spotted at Geekbench. Apparently, the smartphone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor and 4GB RAM.
As expected, Asus will include Android 8.0 Oreo as well as a 5.7-inch display with full HD+ resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. The customary screen notch is present too, along with a 3.5mm audio jack and USB Type-C port.
There's no worth on the battery and camera configuration, but we suspect more details on the Asus ZenFone 5 Max could emerge in the coming weeks, so stick around for more info on the matter.
