Asus plans to have the event on May 16, 2019. However, two days ago, Asus tweets a picture of the ZenFone 6 which gives us several ideas on what could be the features of it.

Possible Features

From the image on the tweet above, it is clearly seen that the new ZenFone 6 will be having the Snapdragon 855 processor. Other than that, Asus also plans to retain the headphone jack on this new smartphone. One the left side, there is a triple slot where you can insert both your SIM cards and additionally a microSD for the expandable storage. On the top right side of the phone, there is a notification LED and a smart key. At this moment, we are still not sure the purpose fo the smart key yet. We will update you once there is an official explanation from Asus itself.

There is also a picture circulating on the Instagram where Marcel Campos, the Head of Global Marketing Operations for ASUS posted a picture on his official Instagram account. If you notice on the description of the picture below, there is a Morse code which we retrieve it using the Morse code decryptor.

Upon converting the message, this is the message we get in the Portuguese language.

LIGUEPARA 855-4813-5000 EFALECOMSTEPHANPANTOLOMEUEDUARDOCAMPOSSILVA

According to AndroidPure, the text with the number appears to be the information which we wanted. The “855” represents the Snapdragon 855 processor which will be used to power the Asus ZenFone 6. Then “4813” represents the camera sensor information. Probably the Asus ZenFone 6 will come a with a dual camera setup of a 48MP + 13MP camera sensors. The last number “5000” represents the battery capacity of the ZenFone 6 which is 5,000mAh battery will be included in this smartphone.
