Just when you thought notches couldn’t get uglier, we get this abomination
July 22, 2025
Some people wish thatnotchesnever existed and that they burn in the deepest regions of hell. We apologize ahead of time to those people, because what you are about to see will no doubt trigger you.
Wait. You saw the image up top already, didn’t you? It looks awful, yet you almost can’t pull your eyes away from it. Ladies and gentlemen, that is an image of a supposedASUS ZenFone 6prototype thatSlashleaksrecently published. It is truly an abomination. Kill it with fire.
In all seriousness, what is ASUS thinking with the notch placement? Some might even ask why there is a notch there at all when phones like thevivo Nex,OPPO Find X, andXiaomi Mi Mix 3try to get away from it by placing the front camera elsewhere.
Why can’t ASUS just go all-in and move the notch to the corner of the display? I think that would look nicer than whatever we have here, because this is not doing it for me.
Regardless of which side of the notch you stand on, at least the ZenFone 6’s display almost reaches to the top of the phone. The bottom still features a slightly thicker chin, with the images not showing a front-facing speaker.
Elsewhere, the ZenFone 6 might feature a triple-camera setup around back. Three rear cameras would be a first for ASUS, but companies likeHuawei,Samsung, andLGalready beat it to the punch. We also see a fingerprint sensor around back, which might rule out any in-display fingerprint sensor.
We do not know much else about the rumored ZenFone 6. ASUS unveiled a good deal of itsZenFone 5smartphonesduring MWC 2018 in February, so perhaps the company will go to MWC 2019 and unveil the ZenFone 6.
