Asus ZenFone 5Z tackled OnePlus with a striking design and aggressive pricing last year and it was a massive success for Asus in India. Well, it has given Asus the confidence to return with another flagship that offers users the most value for money, along with some crazy innovation in tow. Meet the Asus 6z (minus the ZenFone branding, thanks to Delhi High Court), which now offers an almost bezel-less display, flagship internals, a massive battery, and a flip camera module to compensate for the lack of a selfie lens.
The base variant of the Asus 6z, with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, has been priced at Rs 31,999 to tackle the aggressively priced OnePlus 7 upgrade launched earlier this year. You can get the 6GB+128GB variant for Rs 34,999 and the 8GB+256GB for Rs 39,999.
Starting off with the design, well, Asus 6z (which was earlier known as Asus ZenFone 6) is made out of Gorilla Glass and boasts a liquid metal chassis for an added sturdiness. The design of this flagship looks to have been inspired by the Asus ROG gaming phone, but it isn’t as muscular and doesn’t have a sharp look. Instead, the design has been kept clean with the blue accents (the logo and the power button) adding some pizzaz to the overall look.
You have complete control over the flip camera & can stop it at any angle to take pictures effortlessly, and it auto-closes when it detects a fall. The flip camera has been tested over 100,000 times and should be good for 70 selfies a day for 2 years, says Asus.
