When you are talking about reasonably priced flagships, the Asus 6z should not be left out of the discussion. The Asus Zenfone 6, as it is internationally known, should have arrived the Indian market on June 19th. However, a ruling by the Delhi High Court banned the Taiwanese phone manufacturer from launching any phone in India with the “Zenfone” branding, and this pushed the date back a little to June 26th.
Asus 6z Price and Release Date
Flipkart has been
exclusively offering the base model of the Asus
6z (6GB RAM + 64GB storage) for INR31,999 ($460/€405).
The 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB versions were delayed further still. Regardless of
whether or not that was a purely marketing strategy or related to the court
ruling in some way, the two higher-end tiers are coming on July 1. Pricing is
set at INR 34,999 ($505/€445) and INR 39,999 ($580/€510), respectively. No word
on the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage Edition 30 making a
local appearance, though.

Asus 6z Features
The Asus 6z comes with a Snapdragon 855 chipset, powered by 5000mAh
battery, and stock-like Android 9 Pie software experience. The display is a 6.4
inch 1080p+ notch-less display. It includes an interesting
flip camera with a 48 MP Sony IMX586 main sensor and a 13 MP ultra-wide snapper
with 125-degree field-of-view, awarded a record-breaking DxOMark selfie
score. You can read more about it in our in-depth review.
