Fremont, California (August 5, 2019) - ASUS today is announcing retail availability of the ZenFone 6, a powerful smartphone featuring the unique Flip Camera, a groundbreaking innovation that heralds a new era of mobile photography.

The Flip Camera is an innovative solution that simultaneously addresses the twin problems of display 'notches' and low-resolution front-facing cameras. The motorized flip-up camera module contains a 48MP Sony IMX586 main camera and a 13MP 125° ultrawide secondary camera, driven by a custom precision stepper motor that flips the module by a full 180° to switch the cameras from rear to front use. It can also be used at any position in between, giving users the unprecedented ability to take professional grade shots from any position. Flip Camera in ZenFone 6 achieved a remarkable DxOMark Selfie benchmark score of 98, the highest ever recorded1.

The 6.4-inch ZenFone 6 has a notchless NanoEdge all-screen display that's covered with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 for an immersive, near-borderless viewing experience and the toughest protection available. Powered by the flagship Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855 Mobile Platform — which delivers up to a 45% uplift in CPU performance and up to 20% faster graphic rendering compared to the previous generation2. A monster 5000mAh battery — one of the largest available in a flagship smartphone — provides up to two days of non stop use.

ZenFone 6 truly defies ordinary, combining extreme performance and flexible, high-quality photography in a compact design with instantly recognizable futuristic styling.

Boundless viewing experience

A cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut ensures rich, lifelike colors and up to 600nits brightness makes it easy to read what’s onscreen, even when outdoors. The display is covered by the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for unmatched scratch resistance and drop protection. Gorilla Glass 6 is tested to withstand multiple drops from a meter in height, ensuring ZenFone 6 can easily survive accidental knocks and drops.
