ASUS’ Zenfone 6 will be officially unveiled later today. But just hours before its launch, a review video was posted on the internet. The said video has been taken down now but someone was able to take screenshots of the flagship killer.
Press renders of the phone were leaked yesterday and they showed the Zenfone 6 will have a notch-less and hole-less display. These live images confirm the design. Save for the lower bezel, the side and top bezels are really thin. The display has curved corners but we are not sure if it is LCD or AMOLED.
Based on the icons on the home screen, the Zenfone 6 seems to be running stock Android, although there is ASUS’ Gallery app and not Google Photos. However, it seems there are fewer bloatware apps. The Zenfone 5Z came with Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook pre-installed but we can’t see those on the home screen.
On the back, the ASUS Zenfone 6 has dual rear cameras – a 48MP Sony IMX586 primary camera and a 13MP secondary sensor. There is a dual LED flash between the two cameras. These sensors are motorized and they lift up to double as the front-facing cameras. We bet ASUS will assure us they have tested the module several hundred thousand times so we shouldn’t worry about durability.

The back of the phone is covered in glass and there is the manufacturer’s branding along with some other text written in blue font in the middle. The Zenfone 6 has a metal frame with antenna lines along the sides.
The images show the Zenfone 6 is not a slim phone. If you have been following news of the device in the past couple of days, then you know that is expected since it packs a massive 5000mAh battery.
