    Having surpassed the US to become the second largest smartphone market after China, India is now the latest battleground for some of the top mobile brands. According to Canalys, even Samsung lost its top position there to Xiaomi as of Q4 2017, followed by Vivo, Oppo and Lenovo. Meanwhile, ASUS is continuing its fight over there by announcing the ZenFone Max Pro (M1), an India-centric mid-ranger that's priced competitively -- even more so than Xiaomi's recently launched Redmi Note 5 Pro. This also happens to be ASUS' first stock Android device, which is partly why it's able to be shipped with Android 8.1.
