The ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 and its ridiculous name get shown off on camera

June 05, 2025

Even though ASUS launched theZenfone Max Pro M1earlier this year, is the company already close to announcing a sequel? That is what it looks like, if a video obtained bySlashleaksthat allegedly showed off theZenfone Max Pro M2is anything to go by.

Based on the video, the Zenfone Max Pro M2 will ditch the 18:9 display of its predecessor for a taller display with theever-polarizing notchup top. At least the notch appears to be relatively small compared to competitors’, and we can be thankful itdoes not feature two notches.

The changes continue around back, where it looks like the Zenfone Max Pro M2 swaps out its predecessor’s aluminum for glass. Even though the material swap takes away the unsightly antenna lines from before, you now have to worry twice as much about dropping and breaking the phone.

It also looks like the Zenfone Max Pro M2 retains the dual rear-camera setup and rear fingerprint sensor of the Zenfone Max Pro M1. Even the vertical alignment of the Zenfone Max Pro M1’s cameras remain intact on the supposed successor.
