Unlike the OnePlus 7 which has an in-display fingerprint scanner, the Zenfone 6 uses a regular fingerprint scanner on the rear, which Asus says has been improved to be much faster and responsive than it used in the previous models.

Perhaps the highlight of the Zenfone 6 is its unique camera system. It is a dual-camera setup which features a 48MP (Sony IMX586) main camera and a secondary 13MP ultra-wide-angle shooter. Instead of implementing a pop-up selfie camera, Asus Zenfone 6 uses a flip mechanism that turns the rear cameras to the front. Yes, the phone’s back camera flips up 180-degrees to transform into a selfie camera. This allows the front camera to be as powerful as the back camera. Interestingly, the flip camera module can be adjusted to shoot at different angles.

Other specifications of Zenfone 6 include a 5000mAh battery which should easily last a day on a single charge as well as 18w fast charging support. It runs on ZenUI 6, which is based on Android 9.0 Pie (Asus says the phone will be upgradable to Android Q) in the future. The Zenfone 6 does not have an IP rating, but will have water resistance to a degree.
