Asus Zenfone 5Z is on pre-order and available on August 6th

The Asus Zenfone 5Z phone is now available for pre-order and will be available at resellers on August 6th. Asus's latest Android 8.0 Oreo smartphone is priced at $ 499, but offers a high-end Snapdragon 845 chip, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 6.2-inch widescreen . Originally, a launch was planned for the month of June, so Asus has been slow to release the 5Z.

The Taiwanese technology company uses two Sony IMX363 camera sensors for the Zeon 5Z imaging system. One of the sensors has a 120-degree wide-angle lens, while the main camera's sensor contains 12 megapixels, an aperture of f / 1.8 and a field of view of 83 degrees. There is also support for 4K video recording at 60fps or 1080p HD recording at 30/60 fps.

Asus takes a page out of the current trend of the smartphone market – full-screen displays – and adapts it to the Zenfone 5Z. A 6.2-inch Full HD + IPS screen means you get a 19: 9 aspect ratio, which is supposed to be a 90% screen-to-body ratio with a notch at the top (albeit small).

Other notable Zenfone 5Z features include support for two 4G LTE SIM cards (if you're traveling to multiple locations or if you prefer multiple numbers), AI-assisted portrait mode and Zenmoji (yes, animated avatars customizable). Asus also boasts that the Zenfone 5Z's Face Unlock feature can unlock the 5Z in 0.1 seconds, but it's only slightly faster than the 0.3 seconds it takes to unlock with the fingerprint sensor. at the back.

The Asus Zenfone 5Z is available for preorder from today in blue night and silver meteor at Amazon.
