Asus introduced the Zenfone 6 flagship in Valencia,
Spain, last month. The phone has a Snapdragon 855 chipset, a unique rotating 48
MP camera, and a huge 5,000 mAh battery, and now the Indian fans are getting
the phone as well. The device was launched today in India without the Zenfone moniker
under the short name Asus 6z, so it complies with the order from the Delhi High
Court.
With implementing a rotating mechanism for the main
camera, Asus effectively removed any static front-facing shooters and provided
a notch-less experience on the 6.4” LCD of Full HD+ resolution. There are three
RAM+storage combos and there is a microSD slot as well.
The motorized shooter that can be pointed anywhere
on a 180-degree curve has a 48 MP main shooter with Sony IMX586 sensor, coupled
by a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle snapper. There is also FM Radio that Asus
executives announced as a “Made for India” feature. Some other market-exclusive
functions are Call Recording, Twin Apps and Applock with your face or
fingerprint scanner.
The 6/64 GB Asus 6z is priced at INR 31,999
(US$ 460/€ 410), doubling the storage would cost you INR 34,999 (US$ 500/€ 450), while
the most expensive 8/256 GB version will be INR 39,999 (US$ 573/€ 512). All variants
will be available on Flipkart starting June 26.
