**A Comparative Analysis of Affordable Android Devices: ZenFone Max Pro M2 and Redmi Note 7**

In this article, we will delve into the world of affordable Android devices, comparing two popular options: the ZenFone Max Pro M2 and the Redmi Note 7. Both phones have gained significant attention in recent times, thanks to their impressive specifications and features at competitive prices. However, which one reigns supreme? Let's dive into a detailed comparison of these two devices.

When it comes to design and build quality, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 takes the lead. Its sleek glass back and premium feel make it stand out from the crowd. In contrast, the Redmi Note 7 has a plastic back, which, while still durable, can't quite match the Max Pro M2's sophistication. However, if we compare them side-by-side, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 is slightly more practical, with slightly bigger battery life and an improved camera system. We recommend watching our unboxing video to see a closer look at both devices.

The camera on the Redmi Note 7 is another area where it falls short of the ZenFone Max Pro M2. While the former has a good camera, it's not quite as impressive as the latter's. However, with the latest software updates and the inclusion of GCamp, users can enjoy improved camera performance on both devices.

In terms of performance, the Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SOC, which is a decent choice for its price point. Meanwhile, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 comes equipped with a more powerful Snapdragon 616 processor, making it better suited for gaming and demanding tasks. Additionally, the former has a 5,000mAh battery, while the latter boasts a slightly smaller 4,500mAh battery.

Despite these differences, both devices offer an almost-stock Android experience, which is a major plus for users who value simplicity and minimalism. The Redmi Note 7 also comes with a 5,000mAh battery, making it a great choice for power-hungry users.

One notable aspect of the ZenFone Max Pro M2 is its price point. Initially launched at Rs. 10,000, it's now available at Rs. 8,500, making it an attractive option for those on a tight budget. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 7 has also seen a significant price drop, with the base model now available at Rs. 8,500.

**ZenFone 5Z: A Flagship Option at a Steep Discount**

The ZenFone 5Z is another device worth mentioning in this comparison. Initially launched as a flagship option, it's now available at a steep discount, making it an attractive option for those who want a premium smartphone without the hefty price tag.

The ZenFone 5Z boasts a sleek glass back and a stunning display. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor provides top-notch performance, and its dual speakers deliver impressive sound quality. The device also comes with Android Oreo out of the box, which has since been updated to Android Pie.

Another notable aspect of the ZenFone 5Z is its price point. Initially launched at Rs. 30,000, it's now available at Rs. 25,000 for the base model and Rs. 28,000 for the higher-end variant. This makes it an excellent value proposition for those who want a premium smartphone without breaking the bank.

**ZenFone Max M2: A Budget-Friendly Option with a Price Drop**

The ZenFone Max M2 is another device that has seen a significant price drop. Initially launched at Rs. 10,000 for the base model and Rs. 12,000 for the higher-end variant, it's now available at Rs. 8,500 and Rs. 10,500, respectively.

The ZenFone Max M2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SOC, which provides decent performance for its price point. The device also comes with a 5,000mAh battery and an almost-stock Android experience.

In conclusion, both the ZenFone Max Pro M2 and Redmi Note 7 are excellent options in the affordable smartphone market. While the former offers slightly better performance and camera capabilities, the latter is still a great choice for those on a tight budget. The ZenFone 5Z and ZenFone Max M2 also offer excellent value propositions, with discounts that make them more accessible to a wider range of users.

**Android Pie Update: What's Next?**

One notable aspect of both devices is their support for Android Pie. However, the question remains: when can we expect a stable Android Pie update on these devices? We reached out to Asus officials to inquire about the status of the Android Pie update, but as yet, no official response has been received.

In the meantime, users can download the Android Pie Beta and experience the latest features firsthand. However, it's unclear how long this beta period will last before a stable release is made available. We'll be keeping a close eye on this situation and providing updates as more information becomes available.

Ultimately, the choice between these devices will depend on individual preferences and needs. Whether you're looking for top-notch performance, a premium design, or an affordable option with great value, there's something on offer here.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranchi then on this video let's talk about the permanent price drop on these Asus zenfone and devices and just two days ago Asus announced a permanent price stop on all their cell phones and I'm actually particularly excited about the zenfone max pro m2 that came with the snapdragon 668 so see now you can have it for 10,000 rupees and at that price point it changes the entire equation so I was just doing a little bit of maths and it becomes very interesting earlier if you recall the zenfone max pro into and all those end phones have price drop I'll talk about that but I'm particularly excited about this one the zenfone max pro m2 earlier when the zenfone max flow and two came and I did my review the base reading that came with three gigabytes of RAM was priced at thirteen thousand but now you can have it for ten thousand rupees and the four gigabyte RAM model was for fifteen thousand when I reviewed it but now it has also got a price drop of ten thousand and also the six agree bite million got a price drop and earlier it was seventeen thousand now it's at 14,000 and at ten thousand now it changes an entire equation in my Frank opinion because I feel this zenfone max pro m2 now at ten thousand rupees it's even better than the real me to pro in fact if you recall I had done a camera comparison with the redmi 2 pro about a month ago and the zenfone max who overall did better and I feel it's even better than the new Samsung Galaxy M 30 years the m30 has a Super AMOLED screen but apart from that overall if you look at the picture the zenfone max pro m2 makes a lot more sense at ten thousand rupees and just yesterday I had got this redmi note 7 had unboxed it and stuff and I really liked what Tommy did with this redmi note 7 but if we compare it side-by-side I feel the the zenfone max pro m2 is slightly more practical it has slightly bigger battery life and also in terms of camera if you recall just watch the unboxing video of this one I feel the camera is going to be slightly better on this end for max Pro him to compare to the no7 again if you guys really want a side-by-side camera comparison to let me know I'll try to do that and also this there is that situation of that art situation with the me you I that's a real tent that users need to know so I feed at 10,000 rupees this really makes a lot of sense now I like the fact that it comes with a snapdragon 616 I so see so it's a very powerful processor you can play all your favorite games like babji etc and also it has that five thousand milliamp hour battery and also that almost stock Android experience that you are getting that many people like and also this is the only device in this price range that comes with the good luck last six so I feel it's a very good buy now at ten thousand rupees now earlier zenfone max bro Emma also what a permanent price guard this was launched last year if you guys recall it called a price drop and it was for the three gigabyte RAM variant was for 10,000 rupees now the price has fallen down to eight thousand five hundred rupees and for the fourth gigabyte RAM variant it was for twelve thousand and now it's at ten thousand five hundred rupees so this also is a good phone now if you are on a very tight budget like 8500 I feel it's a good phone it's yeah having the Snapdragon 636 SOC its reason for the price of 8500 it still has that the five thousand milliamp hour battery which is actually really good in my Frank opinion and also that stock and broad you are I always have complained about the camera on these zenfone max pro M one but many users have said that with the latest update it has improved and also it has support of gcamp so if you install that gcamp then the camera is really good so at 8500 I feel it's a really good device and I feel this is in fact better than even the Samsung Galaxy m10 now at 8,500 rupees so good one and the flagship first gen phone 5c also got a price drop permanent tries to op this is their flagship this is the zenfone 5 z as you can see that glass back premium build quality and stuff Snapdragon 845 and this was priced at M the base waiting that came with six gigabytes of RAM and 64gb of storage was earlier at 30,000 now it gets a priced over 5000 rupees permanently and it's like 25,000 there is all the other variant also that came that 60 bytes of RAM and gigabytes of internal storage that was at 33 thousand now that gets a price drop and it's at 28,000 so I feel it's still a very good buy at 25,000 snapdragon 845 it has that what he said through dual speakers which is surprisingly not found in any smartphone in that price range that really makes a difference also it has great performance it's already got Android Pi update on it and it

SOC also got a price cut the earlier three gigabyte ram variant that came to 32gb of storage was for ten thousand now it's for 8500 and the 4 gigabyte 64 GB variant of the zenfone max m2 was for twelve thousand and that gets a price cut and that's now also at 10,500 so these were the Zen phones and I'm particularly excited about the zenfone max flow m2 the base period now you can get at ten
