It’s looking a lot like Christmas in November for ZenFone hopefuls, as ASUS Philippines has announced a massive price drop for select smartphones in time for holiday-shopping season.

Among the phones on sale at a much lower price is the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 with 4GB RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. It’s now  just P10,995 (around $206), down from P13,995 ($262) when it was launched in the Philippines back in July.

The ZenFone Max Pro M1 is one of the company’s most popular Android devices, and for good reason. It runs almost-stock Android 8.1 Oreo on a midrange Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor. On top of that, it comes in sporting a dual-lens camera setup featuring an extra lens for portrait-style pictures.

Yet another highlight is the battery: 5,000mAh, which will easily provide up to two days of active use. Most people will find the battery mileage beyond sufficient, enough to get them through long gaming sessions before having to reach for the wall adapter.
