Asus has introduced a new color variant for its mid-range warrior, the Zenfone Max Pro M1. The device, which the Taiwanese tech company is calling the ‘True Blue Performer’, is the Blue version of the handset that was earlier launched in Deepsea Black and Gray. With the launch of the new option, the smartphone will now be available in three colors in all.
It’s worth noting here that apart from the new external paint job, the new model is otherwise identical to the available models in terms of the hardware specs and software features. The new color will apparently be an option for all three variants with 3GB, 4GB and 6GB of RAM, but only the first two has been listed on Flipkart for now. They has been priced at exactly same levels as the other models. It will be available August 30 onwards on Flipkart.
