Asus company has launched two new flagships- Asus Zenphone Max shot and plus M2. Both the devices from the company are the first ever handsets to feature a Qualcomm snapdragon SiP1 processor.
San Diego-based chip-maker is planning to partner with Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) on a new semiconductor plant, Brazil last month and these two new devices from Asus are the first to feature these chipsets.
