I mention that I am the owner and user of ASUS ZenFone 6 with FLIP Camera and I am very satisfied. For what I need in everyday life and in the occasional vacation, ASUS ZenFone 6 does its job very well.
The ASUS ZenFone 7 is definitely clearly superior in terms of hardware. We are waiting for him for tests, especially to be able to test the camera / video.
