In February, ASUS had confirmed that it will be announcing its ZenFone 6 series of smartphones on May 16. The ZenFone 6 series is expected to include successors for ZenFone 5 Lite, ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 5Z. It is speculated that the alleged ZenFone 6Z phone will be arriving with triple rear-facing cameras and in-screen fingerprint reader. However, there have been various speculations about the front design of the phone such as punch-hole screen and waterdrop-style display. A new teaser released by the Taiwanese company suggests that the successor of the ZenFone 5Z will be equipped with a notch-less display design.
Last year, the ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 5Z phones that were introduced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February 2018 had arrived with displays with wider notch like the Apple iPhone X. The ZenFone 5 was mid-range device whereas the ZenFone 5Z was a flagship phone. Hence, there is a possibility that the ZenFone 6 and ZenFone 6Z may arrive with identical display design.

The below shown teaser hints that both phones may feature notch-less displays. It remains to be seen whether these smartphones are equipped with pop-up selfie cameras. The teaser actually shows the outline of the front design of the phone and it shows a presence of an earpiece at the center of the top edge of the device which also hints that it could be featuring a waterdrop-style notch display. The teaser also states that the launch event will begin at 8PM (CEST) on May 16.
Last year, the ZenFone 5Z that had arrived with an affordable pricing was a good rival for the OnePlus 6 phone. The OnePlus 7 Pro with notch-less display and pop-up selfie camera will go official on May 14.
