The concept of ASUS’s future smartphone had been quite vague for almost a year, but now we know its final look as the ASUS Zenfone 6 goes official.

However, what marks the uniqueness of this phone is its flip camera ability. This means that the rear cameras — which consists of a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 and 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensors — allows a flip action to become the front camera so image quality is equally better.

This feature also permits the camera to be flipped up to 90-degrees, an uncommon feat for smartphones nowadays. The company assures that this action is safe because the phone is made out of liquid metal material.
