From thick bezels on all four sides of the screen to a completely bezel-free display, the evolution has happened rather quickly.
While it started with a notch display, there are devices with pop-up camera modules and even laser-cut hole within the display. Asus thought out-of-the-box and has completely done away with the front camera module. In fact, the dual rear camera setup handles selfies too. Instead of housing the camera in the phone's chassis, Asus opted for a motorised mechanism made of liquid metal that flips open at 180 degrees for selfies and even when used for face unlock.
Design
The Asuz 6z had a nice look and feel. The 6.4-inch bezel-less screen is bright. Asus has used the Gorilla Glass 3 at the rear and the rest of the chassis has been made of metal. This is not a sleek phone thanks to the motorised camera module and the 5000 mAh battery onboard. Other than regulars, including fingerprint scanner at the rear, there is a Smart Key on the right panel that can be pressed once for Google Assistant, twice for personal updates and press and hold for using Google Assistant in Walkie-Talkie style. The volume control is on the right edge. SIM tray is on the left panel while the Type-C charging port, speaker grill and the audio port are at the bottom.
