So the updated Zenfone Max with updated processor and 3GB RAM is not coming to the Philippines?
I think it is very unlikely since Asus PH exclusively launched the Laser 5.5S here in PH plus trio of Zenfone 3 is coming soon.
Im afraid not. If they did that, their new zenfone 3 max will lose in the sales competition.
