Having received a rebranding and official launch, the Asus 6z smartphone is all set to go on sale in India starting today at noon on Flipkart. Sold by Asus as the “most affordable Snapdragon 855” smartphone, the Asus 6z is available in three variants: 6GB RAM + 64GB storage at Rs 31,999, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage at Rs 34,999, and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage at Rs 39,999. An additional mobile protection package will be available with it at Rs 99. “Grab it until stocks last!” writes Asus in an official news release.

The Asus 6z comes with flagship-grade specs in that the chipset powering it is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 with RAM and UFS 2.1 storage going all the way up to 8GB and 256GB respectively. The internal storage can further be expanded using a microSD card. The display on the Asus 6z is a 6.4-inch IPS LCD unit that is said to deliver a screen-to-body ratio of 92 percent. The battery on the Asus 6z is a large 5000mAh unit, which is capable of Quick Charge 4.0 using the bundled 18W charger.  In comparison, the OnePlus 7 Pro features a 4000mAh battery, while the standard OnePlus 7 ships with 3700mAh battery.

The camera setup on the Asus 6z  is a feature worth noting as the phone does not have separate sensors for the front and back as most phones these days do. Instead, it employs a flipping mechanism for the rear cameras. When the camera app is used in selfie mode, the rear cameras will flip around using a top-mounted swiveling mechanism to face the user. The flipping module houses a 48-megapixel Sony IMX 586 sensor along with a 13-megapixel wide-angle camera with a 117-degree field of view. The primary sensor has an aperture of f/1.79 and supports phase-detection autofocus. The wide-angle sensor, on the other hand, employs a real-time distortion correction algorithm.

The Asus 6z also features dual speakers with dual amplifiers. The smartphone runs a custom ZenUI 6 interface that’s built on top of Android 9 Pie. The Asus 6z will be offered in two colour options: Twilight Silver and Midnight Black. The Asus 6z was originally called the Asus ZenFone 6z before Asus lost to Telecare Network India Pvt Ltd in a trademark dispute that eventually forced Asus to give up the trademarks “Zen” and “ZenFone” in the Indian smartphone market days before the official launch.
