Asus Zenfone 6 Launched with Flip Camera, 5000mah Battery and More

On Thursday, at an event in Spain, Asus finally launched its next-generation flagship by launching the new Asus Zenfone 6. The new flagship from Asus is the direct successor of last year’s Asus Zenfone 5Z. Last year, with the 5Z, Asus was very aggressive in terms of pricing and offered overall a good competition. We expect no less from the new Zenfone 6 as well. However, this time Asus opted for complete bezel-less design, unique flip camera and so on. Notably, one of the biggest change is the ZenUI 6 with a complete redesign. It is now completely near Stock Android and bloat-ware free. All this can be proved as a huge advantage if Asus price this device sensibly in India.

Asus Zenfone 6 Specifications

Display and Design

Zenfone 6 has a 6.46-inch Full HD+ no-notch NanoEdge IPS LCD display with narrow bezels and offers a massive 92% screen to body ratio. The brightness of the display can go up to 600nits and it supports HDR10 and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Both front and back are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 and the frame is made of 6000-series aluminum. The dimensions are 159.1 x 75.4 x 9.2 mm and Weight is 190g.

Asus Zenfone 6 runs ZenUI 6 based on Android 9 Pie and with promised updates of Android Q and R in the future. As I have mentioned earlier, ZenUI 6 is now near Stock Android and it is now better than ever.

Camera

Here things get really interesting as the new Zenfone 6 doesn’t have any dedicated selfie shooter. Instead, it now features a unique flip camera that acts as a both. The flip camera made from Liquid Metal which is claimed to be lighter than stainless steel and is 4x stronger. It will automatically close if it senses any drop.
