The Asus ZenFone 6 is here to take on the rest of the 2019 flagship smartphone crowd. It even boasts a feature or two that’ll make the OnePlus 7 Pro blush.
Like many phone makers over the last couple of years, the focus here seems to have been placed on eliminating the bezels around the display. It’s an increasingly popular trend that, generally speaking, makes for more attractive smartphones; this is certainly the cases with Asus’ new top device.
The ZenFone 6 sports a flat 6.4-inch 19.5:9 aspect ratio Full HD+ IPS LCD panel. Flip the phone over and you’ll find a decidedly clean and unassuming back, hewn from curved Gorilla Glass, with a fingerprint sensor at its centre and a duo of cameras against the top edge. Asus has opted for the same 48-megapixel sensor that so many other phones have suddenly started to sport.
The Honor View 20 was the first phone on the scene to feature it and more recently we’ve seen the Xiaomi Mi 9, OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro all make use of it too.
In the case of the ZenFone 6, this high-resolution main sensor is accompanied by a secondary 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor that can also be used to gather depth information for portrait mode shooting and the like.
