Asus Zenfone 6 announcement: what to expect and how to watch

Asus will unveil the Zenfone 6 later today – the livestream starts at 18:00 UTC. You can watch it below, but while we wait, we wanted to recap what we know about the phone so far.

With a bit of Morse code, Asus teased the dual camera specs, 48+13MP, as well as the Snapdragon 855 chipset. It also gave away a few small but important details – the Zenfone 6 will have a 3.5mm headphone jack, dedicated microSD slot and a notification LED. The 5,000mAh battery was announced with a jab at OnePlus.

Now we venture into the unofficial information. The dual slider design seen in videos may not be real, the latest leaked images of the Zenfone 6 show a mechanism that flips the rear camera up so it points forward.

One way or another, the screen will be notch-free. The phone’s pricing may be close to the OnePlus 7.
