On May 16, Taiwanese manufacturer, Asus, introduced its innovative smartphone, Asus ZenFone 6, in Valencia, Spain. This device comes with something new as it uses a unique 180° flip panel to house the dual cameras of this phone. Today, the company released this smartphone in the world’s second largest smartphone market India. However, there was a change of name. This smartphone arrived in India as Asus 6z which is shorter without the “ZenFone” moniker. Asus expunged the “ZenFone” moniker from this smartphone’s name in compliance with a court injunction which prohibits the company from using it in India.
