Earlier, we saw that Delhi High Court has restricted Asus from using Zen name for its devices. The court also put an effective ban on the sale of all the Asus’s Zen and Zenfone named products in India. The ban on name of the Asus Zen named products meant that it could not launch its new flagship, the Asus Zenfone 6 in India until it found a way to do so. And now, the company has found a way to do just that as it will be launching its Zenfone 6 flagship smartphone in India named as ‘Asus 6z’. Although the name of the smartphone might have changed but it will have the same specifications and the features as the global Asus ZenFone 6.
