Asus’ all-screen ZenFone 6 is a flipping marvel

The current trend in smartphoneland is offering top shelf flagship specs at a more mid-range price point, and ASUS isn’t looking to buck that trend with the ZenFone 6. The first thing you’ll notice is that the 6.4in FHD+ display is that it’s entirely, gloriously notchless. This is because the ZenFone 6’s dual 48MP and 13MP ultrawide cameras are located on an innovative flip-up module on the rear of phone, meaning they can rotate 180 degrees at the press of a button and act as both your main and selfie camera. Under the hood you’ll find a Snapdragon 855, ensuring the very fastest experience, while a whopping 5,000mAh battery should give you two days of use before asking for a recharge. Prices start at €499 for the base 6GB/64GB variant, which can be expanded up to 8GB/256GB for and extra hundred.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Harry Kane is never going to leave Spurs.
