Asus 6Z specs and features

The main USP of the Asus 6Z is its flip-up dual camera setup. The phone has a dual camera module on the back which is part of a mechanical lifting or flipping mechanism – and when it lifts or flips, the whole module rotates on its axis by a full 180-degree to function as the front camera(s).  

Speaking of cameras, the Asus 6Z has a 48MP primary camera with Sony’s IMX586 sensor with f/1.79 aperture. There’s also a secondary 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 125-degree field-of-view. 

The flip-up dual cameras allow Asus to offer a notch-less ‘NanoEdge’ all-screen display on the Asus 6Z. More specifically, the phone has a 6.4-inch display with 1080p+ resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. 

Under the hood, the phone packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage which is further expandable via a dedicated micro-SD card slot. The dual-SIM phone runs Android 9 Pie-based Zen UI 6 software. The phone is further backed by a massive 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. 

In terms of design, the Asus 6Z has a glass and metal sandwich design and is available in Midnight Black and Twilight Silver colour options. The phone retains the 3.5mm audio jack – something that is fast becoming a rarity in flagship phones. There are also dual stereo speakers here. Lastly, the Asus 6Z comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. 

In other news, Asus is also dropping the prices of last year’s Asus 5Z by to Rs 7,000. The base variant of the phone with 6GB/64GB will now sell for Rs 16,999 (Rs 5,000 price cut), the variant with 6GB/128GB will now sell for Rs 18,999 (Rs 6,000 price cut), and the top end model with 8GB/256GB will now sell for Rs 21,999 (Rs 7,000 price cut).
