The Zenfone Max Shot and Max Plus M2 are the first phones designed by the ASUS Brazil team to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon SiP 1 mobile platform.
Although the new models have the same appearance at first glance, the Max Shot has an additional wide-angle 8-megapixel camera on the back, while the Max Pus M2 has a flash sensor here. Both smartphones received the same 6,26-inch IPS displays with FHD + resolution and a notch at the top.
The Max Plus M2 will come with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory, while Max Shot buyers will have the option of choosing between 3/4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage./64 GB of flash memory. Both models have two SIM card slots and a separate microSD card slot.
The main feature of the new products is the use of the Qualcomm SiP 1 processor. The difference between SiP (System-in-Package, βsystem-in-packageβ) chips from more traditional systems-on-a-chip (SoC) is that all the main components (chips of integrated circuits) are combined in a module, while in SoC all nodes are made on a single chip.
The 14nm chipset itself used in smartphones is almost identical to the budget Snapdragon 450 with an octa-core 1,8GHz processor and Adreno 506 graphics system.
The Max Shot smartphone has a triple camera system on the back - a standard 12-megapixel, 8-megapixel wide-angle and 5-megapixel camera with a depth sensor, while the Max Plus M2 is equipped with a dual camera with 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. The smartphones have an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash on the front panel.
The battery capacity of both smartphones is 4000 mAh. The novelties are running stock OS Android 8.1 Oreo, which should soon be replaced by the Pie version.
Smartphones are already on sale. The Zenfone Max Shot starts at $350 and the Zenfone Max Plus M2 is $340.
