You get these and more baked right into Asus’s proprietary UI. The ZenUI 6 slopes on the lighter side, as far as Android skins go. However, that’s one just attribute of the phone, which ships with top-end hardware. The phone helms a Snapdragon 855 brute force, coupled with 5000mAh battery, a flipping 48MP camera module and more.
