86% Asus ZenFone 6 (ZS630KL): Reviewing the King of Stamina | Notebookcheck

80% Asus Zenfone 6 review: An absolute steal
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
For $499, the Asus Zenfone 6 is an absolute steal. Many flagships costing $1,000 or more don’t offer the number of features found in the Zenfone 6. Moreover, the new user interface makes this phone a joy to use. The Zenfone 6 may not have wireless charging or an official water resistance certification, but it does have many things that people care about, and even more features power users will appreciate. The headphone jack, expandable storage, notification LED, and quick actions toggle are all nice extras. These features sit on a strong foundation set by the Snapdragon 855 processor and healthy dose of RAM. It’s hard not to recommend this device at the price.

75% ASUS ZenFone 6 Review: the ULTIMATE selfie phone?
Source: Kitguru English Archive.org version
Every phone manufacture is chasing the fully notch-less display but there’s always something that’s been in the way – the camera. ASUS may have just found a way around this issue. The ZenFone 6 by ASUS features a beautiful 6.4” notch-less display whilst maintaining a fully functional front facing camera with a trick. The dual cameras found on this phone are mechanically able to flip around to face you but this does come with a few disadvantages. Is this feature a game changer or a gimmick?

77% Asus 6Z 256GB Review
Source: Think Digit English Archive.org version
The Asus 6z is a solid follow-up to last year’s Zenfone 5z. Asus has utilized the strength of its engineering department to come up with the flip camera that offers selfies in a quality that no other smartphone can offer today. It offers a far more refined OS than previous seen on an Asus smartphone, one which is fast, smooth and impressively close to the feel of stock Android. The battery life on this phone is exceptional, and the performance doesn’t leave room for complaints. However, the Asus 6z fails to deliver a “wow” factor, that would set the experience of using the Asus 6z, or even owning the 6z apart from any other phone in this price segment. In reality, the best reason to go for the 6z over anything else in its class is the price of the smartphone, its combined performance metrics and the fact that it has a headphone jack. If you’re on a budget and can’t really up-spend on a OnePlus 7T, the Asus 6z really is a very good alternative.

Asus ZenFone 6 Hands-on: Flipping cameras
Source: Mobile Syrup English Archive.org version
My first impressions of the ZenFone 6 are resoundingly positive. I wish I could have spent a lot more time with the device, and I can’t wait to use it as my daily driver. I was mesmerized by the notchless, bezeless display and I can’t wait to become a true selfie king. While the ZenFone 6 lacks features like an on-screen fingerprint scanner and the best display, these shortcomings likely helped keep the phone’s cost under $1,000 CAD. Speaking of price, Asus has priced the device at $799 for 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There’s also a model priced at $899 for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of memory. It’s important to note, however, the handset has expandable storage. MobileSyrup will have more on the ZenFone 6, ROG Phone II and other Asus products in the coming weeks.

Asus ZenFone 6 camera review
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
Boasting some top-end specs, the Asus ZenFone 6 has a lot going for it. Its automatic flip camera is an innovative solution that enables the device to use the same sensor and lens hardware for both front- and rear-facing shots. The image quality of the dual-camera setup is generally good, with nice color, well-controlled noise, and excellent autofocus, although some exposure and white balance instabilities mean it’s not quite a top performer. The lack of a tele-lens also meant lower scores for zoom and bokeh. Video performance is excellent overall, though, making the Asus ZenFone 6 a serious contender for any smartphone video enthusiast.

If you need the best of the best and have the cash to throw at it, a flagship device like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is really good, but if cash is tight or you simply don’t want to spend $1,000 on a phone you’ll be getting rid of in less than 2 years, the ASUS Zenfone 6 is a phenomenal option. Seriously, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better phone at $500. And even if you do, it definitely won’t be able to match the selfies you’ll get from this flip-up camera. Be sure to jump into the comments and let me know what you think about the Asus Zenfone 6. The phone’s not perfect, but it’s price, unique camera system, and massive battery make it one of my favorite devices of 2019.

100% Asus ZenFone 6 review: Spin to win
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
Asus provides two versions of the ZenFone 6. The entry-level specification, which we tested, comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That costs £499, which is a competitive price when rivals such as OnePlus are continuously pushing up their prices. The 8GB/256GB version costs another £100, but even that undercuts the ZenFone 6's competition.

You can get a better camera or a nicer screen for a couple hundred dollars more with the OnePlus 7 Pro. You can spend a couple hundred dollars more than that to get phones that are genuinely luxurious, like the iPhone XS or the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. You can spend way less and get a slower processor or a smaller phone. Even though it seems like your phone choices are dwindling, that’s not really true. There are tons of options.

80% Asus 6Z review: The no-nonsense flagship smartphone
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
The Asus 6Z is what we would classify as a real all-rounder. It might lack the pizzazz but is a very good offering that will have competition worried. Asus 6Z’s main competition will come from the OnePlus 7 which costs a bit more for similar specs. Asus 6Z is the most affordable phone with the fastest processor in the market. That’s a big plus for the 6Z to go with a sturdy design, impressive performance and more than capable cameras. Not to forget that the 6Z is truly an all-screen display albeit not as good as OnePlus 7. Considering all these aspects, you have to say that Asus might just have a winner on its hands.

ASUS 6Z Review
Source: Fone Arena English Archive.org version
Overall, the ASUS 6Z is a good successor to the 5Z at a starting price of Rs. 31,999 for 6GB RAM with 64GB storage version, but the 128GB storage version at Rs. 34,999 is Rs. 3000 more. It is also Rs. 2000 more than the OnePlus 7 128GB model. If you are looking for a flagship smartphone with a good battery life, no-notch screen, smooth performance and a good selfie camera, this is definitely a good choice for the price. If you can spend more for the AMOLED screen, in-screen fingerprint scanner and a splash-resistant body and don’t care about the 3.5mm audio jack or the notch screen, the OnePlus 7 is better. The ASUS 6Z goes on sale starting today, June 26th at 12 noon exclusively on Flipkart. To summarize, here are the pros and cons of the smartphone.

The Asus 6Z offers a well-rounded camera experience and the biggest advantage of that flip camera is the fact that both rear and front-facing images are extremely detailed, and the versatility of the wide-angle camera can also be utilized on the front. At a starting price of Rs 31,999, it is directly competing with the likes of OnePlus 7 and Honor 20. Both these phones are known to be inconsistent when it comes to the camera performance and Asus 6Z definitely holds an edge over here.

However, if these shortcomings don’t seem major to you, the Asus 6Z is shaping out to be a great option starting at Rs 31,999. The OnePlus 7 retails for Rs. 32,999 and does almost everything that the 6Z does, except for the flip-out camera of course, and the big battery. But the reliability of Oxygen OS and the brand’s fan-base are the biggest threats to what otherwise is a smartphone that does basically everything, and does it well.

Priced at Rs 31,999 for the 6GB RAM and 64GB storage variant, the Asus 6z is a well-packaged product in the midrange segment. Consider this smartphone for its unique motorised flip-camera module, sturdy build, easy-to-use operating system and all-round performance. But the phone’s multimedia handling capability falls short when compared with other smartphones in the segment. This, however, might be improved through a software upgrade in future; until then, it is not the best for multimedia enthusiasts who like streaming videos on the go.

80% Asus 6z review: The coolest Android flagship for geeks and camera lovers
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
Sadly, the Flip Camera is itself the Asus 6z's Achilles Heel -- despite giving us possibly the world's best front camera performance, the implementation feels vulnerable to daily abuse and if it stops working, you are stuck with a phone that has no front cameras. Asus says that the module is tested to last five years and it's up to you whether you are ready to take the company's words. In India, the Asus 6z rivals the OnePlus 7, Pixel 3a XL and the Honor 20. Compared to all these phones, the 6Z is closer to the OnePlus 7 in terms of performance, compared to the Pixel 3a XL concerning the camera performance and is a solid all-rounder like the Honor 20. Most importantly, it undercuts them all with its pricing and to me, that's a deal you can't miss.

Asus has thought of plenty to do with the rotating camera module and has tried to compensate for not having an immediately available front-facing camera, but it might take some getting used to. The main advantages of this design are that you get a clean, notch-free screen, and very high-quality selfies. On the downside, face recognition isn't as frictionless and the mechanical module does need to be handled with care.

Come in for the cool motorized camera, stay for everything else - that's pretty much what the Zenfone 6 is all about. That is, if you manage to look past its not quite stellar display - other than that Asus has managed to pull off quite the package for a very reasonable price. Easily some of the best possible selfies you can get from a smartphone today is only the flip side to an excellent camera experience across stills and video, in daylight or at night. And you'll have no problem making it through the night either thanks to the biggest battery this side of the midrange. Add to that some nice-to-haves that are increasingly harder to find in the high-end segment like a headphone jack, a status LED, and a dedicated microSD slot, and we can see how the Zenfone 6 makes a really compelling case for itself.

Asus’ latest could easily have been another run-of-the-mill Samsung/iPhone impersonator, so it's refreshing and, dare we say it, quite exciting to see something a little different.

Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
At $499 to start, the ZenFone 6 looks like a compelling value. The Flip Camera could be our preferred mobile shooter for selfies, so long as it holds up well in everyday use, and so long as that 48-MP sensor delivers like we hope it will. And the handset's 5,000-mAh battery might make the latest ZenFone the best flagship to have in your pocket if longevity on a charge your top priority.

Model: The ZenFone lineup from the Asus brand has been a commonly spoken name since its first-generation announcement back in 2014. It is one of the pioneering smartphone models which had propelled Android smartphones to the status of relevance and popularity they have acquired in this day and era. Establishing itself as one of the forefathers of the Android movement, Asus continues to shoulder the responsibility to cater to modern societal needs and thus unveiled the sixth generation ZenFone with a unique take on some of its core features. The Asus ZenFone 6 shines under the glimmer of light with two color options – Midnight Black and Twilight Silver. It features an all-screen NanoEdge display measuring up to a total of 6.4 inches with an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 92 percent. The frontal display alone rivals those hailing from the Apple brand such as iPhone X and iPhone Xs. The absence of punch-holes and notches renders the main screen as immaculate as possible. On top of that, the screen is protected by the extraordinarily tough Gorilla Glass 6 from the Apple-approved Corning brand. Users will not see nary a crack anytime soon while being able to immerse themselves in the wonders of the ZenFone 6’s ingenious display.

The Asus ZenFone 6 garnered global recognition and hype through the debut of its Flip Camera. The Flip Camera is a design borne from the idea of reducing bezels in order to create the ultimate all-screen frontal display. This Flip Camera is not simply a gimmick nor a marketing ploy – it is a dual camera setup which can be rotated to the front to assume the role of a selfie camera. The Liquidmetal construct permits the rotation to be carried out and controlled through the usage of a stepper motor. In layman’s term, this understandably translates into the fact that the advanced materials that are used in constructing the Flip Camera are alloys of the light but tough variety, which is facilitated through the incorporation of an interior motor to control its movement without the risk of jamming or breaking. The introduction of the Flip Camera as a bold move-away from traditional mobile photography does not suggest that Asus has resorted into cutting some corners. The dual camera setup, rather surprisingly, is equipped with a 48 MP main camera and a 13 MP secondary camera. The surprises do not stop there, as these cameras also support the flagship Sony IMX586 sensor, which functions as a superb motion tracker, and also the Quad Bayer technology for large-pixel levels of light sensitivity. Needless to say, Asus went all out with the camera aspect of the ZenFone 6, and it is by far, one of the most impressive efforts to be seen on an Android smartphone to this date.

Qualcomm Adreno 640: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is intergrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 20% faster than the Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 845 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 855: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2018 and manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
