While many new phones are using the pop-up camera to have a full-screen display, with Asus Zenfone 6, the company is bringing an exciting innovation – a flip camera mechanism that allows you to take selfies with the main camera. The rotation of the Liquidmetal camera is controlled by a stepper motor that allows users to stop midway and take pictures at interesting angles besides automatic panoramas.
