ASUS Zenfone 5Z — NoypiGeeks

ASUS greets the MWC 2018 crowd with their new Zenfone 5 line-up. This new series of smartphones will be lead by the ASUS Zenfone 5Z — the mightiest device in the entire family.

The ASUS Zenfone 5Z  has an all-screen display with a 90% screen-to-body ratio, which actually looks kinda nice. But to achieve this, ASUS was also forced to copy Apple’s annoying display notch. Thankfully, it is not as large and distracting as the one found on the iPhone X.

At the back, you can spot the dual-camera setup in a familiar orientation. They are both from Sony and they offer a wide-angle lens, four-axis optical image stabilization, and AI-powered features.

Speaking of AI, the  ASUS Zenfone 5Z will feature Qualcomm’s Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE) through its Snapdragon 845 chipset.
