Asus  recently launched the ZenFone Max Pro M1 ,which is sold exclusively on Flipkart. The partnership has helped the company keep the pricing competitive, in order to take on competition from Xiaomi and Honor. With the Zenfone 5z, Asus hopes to recreate that model, but with the high-end segment
ZenFone 5Z: Expected Price in India
In Europe, where the ZenFone 5Z went on sale recently, the smartphone is priced lower than the OnePlus 6, making it the most affordable Snapdragon 845-powered flagship smartphone. While we cannot be sure about the handset’s pricing in India, we expect it to be priced competitively against rivals like the Oneplus 6 and the Honor 10. While the OnePlus 6 starts at Rs.34,999 in India, the Honor 10 is priced at Rs.32,999. The ‘flagship redefined’ tagline on the teaser page does give us hope that the ZenFone 5Z will indeed be aggressively priced in India. ASUS managed to surprise everyone with the pricing of the ZenFone Max Pro M1 ,so we are expecting something very similar with the ZenFone 5Z.
