The Brazilian branch of Asus has announced two new smartphones - Zenfone Max Shot and Zenfone Max Plus M2 - based on a new type of system-in-package (SiP) processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon SiP 1.
The new chip integrates all modules in the new, smaller "cube", which saves a lot of space on the phone's motherboard. Technically, Snapdragon SiP 1 is the twin Snapdragon 450. In addition to the common system platform, both phones combine a similar look, as well as 6.26-inch Full HD+ screens and 4000 mAh batteries. Both smartphones debut with Android Oreo, but they will of course receive an update to Pie.

Both models received 8-megapixel cameras on the fronts, placed in a small spot. The rear cameras are different, however. Asus Zenfone Max Shot has a 12-megapixel main matrix, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera and an additional 5Mpx eye for background blur. In turn, Asus Zenfone Max Plus M2 does not have a wide-angle camera - and its place is filled with a diode.
