The Zenfone 6 is shaping up to be the new flagship killer. Earlier today renders of the phone leaked, revealing the flagship phone will have a notch-less display and motorized dual rear cameras that double as front-facing cameras. Yesterday, ASUS actually confirmed an important feature of the phone via its Twitter account.
The Zenfone 6 has been rumored to pack a 5,000mAh battery and yesterday the Taiwanese manufacturer confirmed the rumors. The new ASUS flagship will indeed pack a massive 5000mAh battery, making it the second flagship phone released this year with such a large battery capacity. The first is the Nubia Red Magic 3 gaming smartphone.

ASUS not only confirmed the battery capacity but mocked that of the OnePlus 7 in the same breath. The OnePlus 7 has a 3,700mAh battery which pales in comparison to that of the Zenfone 6′. Even the OnePlus 7 Pro’s 4000mAh battery closes the gap just a little.

ASUS is definitely taking on the OnePlus 7 with its new device and so far it has already won in some areas. The Zenfone 6′ has a higher screen-to-body ratio since it adopts a “notch-less” and “hole-less” design. It also has an audio jack, a dedicated MicroSD card slot (triple card tray), and a significantly bigger battery. We bet ASUS will also want to win when it comes to price.
The Zenfone 6 launches tomorrow at 8 PM CEST (6 PM GMT/11:30 PM IST). The event will be live-streamed so you can watch it online.
