The Asus ZenFone 6 defies the ordinary with its rotating camera
The Asus ZenFone 6 has been officially announced by the Taiwanese company, and it is a flagship that stands out for its 6.4-inch NanoEdge screen without any notch or perforation for the front camera, instead, it uses a module motorized rotating camera called Flip Camera , allowing the main camera to be used both in the front and in the back.

The big bets of the Asus ZenFone 6: NanoEdge screen and Flip Camera : The Asus ZenFone 6 defies the ordinary with its rotating camera
Without a doubt, the first thing that catches our attention about the Asus ZenFone 6 is its 6.4-inch LCD screen with FHD + resolution . It is protected by sixth generation Corning Gorilla Glass and achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 92%.
Although the most interesting of the matter is the complete absence of a front camera at the front, omitting the typical notch and also the new punch hole method (perforated screen). The Asus ZenFone 6 chooses to use the rear camera as the front, but without the need to flip the terminal, instead, it is the camera that is turned around for us.
The aforementioned is possible thanks to a motorized module that contains an impressive 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor with f / 1.79 aperture and Quad Bayer technology , which is accompanied by a 13MP wide-angle secondary sensor with 125 ° viewing angle. .
The Flip Camera module is made of liquid metal , so it is stronger than stainless steel, but 20% lighter, something that almost seems paradoxical . Going back to the main topic, this can be rotated 180 ° between the front and rear positions , completely eliminating the need to include a front camera and notch. As a bonus, you can adjust the position of the camera to capture photos from various angles with ease.
Additionally, the camera incorporates a gravity sensor that detects if the Asus ZenFone 6 is in free fall, which makes the mechanism return to a safe position automatically.
