To recall, the original 16GB Asus ZenFone Max was released in India back in January this year at Rs 9999. This unit has now gotten a price cut and is available at Rs 8999. The new-and-improved version of the handset offers 2GB of RAM at Rs 9999 and 3GB of RAM at Rs 12999. All other specs appear to be the same between the latter two.
The revamped ZenFone Max offers double the storage capacity in the form of 32GB of ROM.
