VFM Deals 2018 - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (Certified Refurbished) - India

Okay, so it has been quite a while since we have posted anything here. We are trying to get back and this time take it bigger, hopefully.

We are introducing a new Value For Money Deals series, through which will be some awesome irresistible mobile phone deals online.

Here's the first one - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (Certified Refurbished)

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, brand new 3GB 32GB variant is still being sold only for Rs.10,999/-, and is a great VFM phone already, but here's the deal, you can get the same phone for much less, if you don't mind going for a Certified Refurbished phone.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 - Certified Refurbished can now be yours for around Rs.8,500/- (December 16th 2018) on Amazon.in.



Agreed, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 has already been announced and you should be able to buy one by end of this month(December 2018), but the Zenfone Max Pro M1 is still a great VFM phone, considering the fact that most other phones from the competition in this segment(Redmi Note 5 Pro, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Motorola One Power) is still giving you the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, RAM and Storage configuration.

And even the Redmi Note 6 Pro released a couple of weeks ago, still comes with almost the same internals. The only differentiation being the notch in the display on all these phones except the Redmi Note 5 Pro.


So, the other big differentiator will definitely be the camera or the image quality. Asus has got a trick up its sleeve for even that, you can install/side-load the Google camera app by enabling the Camera2API, which shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes and take our word or just google and you will see huge difference in the image quality using the Google camera app.

The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 also comes with a 5,000 mah battery which should keep you going for an entire day, for sure and then some. It is incredible how this phone with the 5000 mah battery weighs only as much as the other 4000 mah battery phones, so weight of the phone should never be an issue if you are used to or were ready to go for phones with around 4000 mah batteries.

However, the charging speed is slower though in comparison to the others, but once charged 100%, there shouldn't be a reason/situation where you would have to charge it again during the day.

What is a Certified Refurbished phone?

As per Amazon.in:

Minimal or no signs of wear & tear. Comes with a 6 month warranty.
This Amazon Renewed product is professionally inspected and tested by an Amazon qualified supplier. Box and accessories (no headphones included) may be generic.

Head on to Amazon.in for more details.

Certified Refurbished phones on Amazon come with a 6 month seller/manufacturer warranty. We have bought a couple of Motorola phones in the past and when we had an issue with one, we did get the service covered under warranty by Moto Lenovo India and to our surprise, we were even provided a 1 year warranty instead of the 6 months.

See you all in another post, soooooooon!! Cheers!
