The Indonesian market will be the first stage of launch for the handset, and the event will be live streamed as well. Furthermore, the device is going to give a tough competition the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (coming to India on Nov 22), and if reports are to be believed, the Max Pro M2 will have a slight edge over it.

Quandt revealed in his twitter handle @rquandt that the Zenfone Max Pro M2 with mode number ZB631KL will feature a 6.3″ inch FHD+ display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB internal space. It will have triple camera setup at the rear while offering a 13MP camera on the front. He further claimed that the Indian variant of the smartphone would bear the model number ZB634KL.

As for its gaming powers, there is not much information about it; however, with the SD 660, the Taiwanese manufacturer could combine with a new performance-boosting mode like Huawei’s GPU Turbo and OPPO’s Hyper Boost. The complete specification and the price of the device will likely be announced at the launch. The availability of the smartphone in other countries like India may also be confirmed during the launch. With that being said, let’s wait for the future leaks and reports to reveal more about the phone. Till then, stay tuned.

Vivo is preparing to unveil their latest offering in it’s Y series, the ivo y81i in India soon. The reports suggesting the Indian launch of Y81i comes shortly after Vivo has announced the Vivo Y95 earlier this month in Vietnam. According to a report, the Vivo Y81i could hit the Indian market in a few weeks. The Vivo Y81i was first announced in Malaysia, and there was a different but similar phone, Vivo Y81 which was launched earlier in Vietnam.

Coming to the design, the Vivo Y81i comes with a notched display. The overall design looks similar to the Vivo Y81. While it comes with a notched FullView display, there is no dual camera offering on the Vivo Y81i, indicating that Vivo will be placing it as an entry level smartphone.

In the display department, the Vivo Y81i features a 6.22-inch FullView HD+ display with a resolution of 1520×720 pixels. By using the FullView display, Vivo has managed to achieve 87.9 percent screen to body ratio in the Y81i. As usual with Vivo, the smartphone comes with a Mediatek SoC. It is powered by the Mediatek MT6761 processor, which is infact a toned down version of the MT6762 Helio P22 SoC. It comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is less by today’s standards.

The Vivo Y81i sports a 13MP shooter in the back and a 5MP shooter in the front for taking selfies. The front camera comes with a f/2.2 aperture and AI Face Beautifying. As there is no fingerprint sensor onboard the Y81i, the front camera comes ready with face unlock. It draws juice from a 3260mAh battery similar to the Y81.

It runs on FunTouch OS 4.0, based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The Vivo Y81i will be available in Red Black and Blue color options. While there is no official reports about the pricing of the Vivo Y81i, reports suggest that it will be priced anywhere below the 10K INR mark.
