Flipkart is teasing the launch of what could be the ASUS ZenFone 5z smartphone

Asus announced its flagship smartphone, the **Zenfone 5Z** , back in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Close to four months later, the company might finally be thinking about launching the smartphone in India.

Flipkart has not stated which smartphone is being teased here and is yet to reveal images of the smartphone, but as per a report by GSMArena, the stripe on the teaser page is quite similar to that of the stock wallpaper found on the Zenfone 5Z.

Like most 2018 flagships, the 5Z features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and comes with a dual-camera setup. The camera upholstery comprises a 12 MP + 8 MP sensor setup with f/1.8 and f/2.4 apertures and 1.4 micron pixel size. Sadly, there is no mention of OIS for videographers, but we do get gyro-based EIS. Asus throws in a 3,300 mAh battery into the phone with support for fast charging.

The fingerprint scanner is located on the back and the phone runs on Asus’ ZenUI 5.0 built on top of Android Oreo. There is no word on the price of the phone yet, but we do expect Asus to try and have OnePlus and Vivo in its crosshairs when it launches the Zenfone 5Z.
