The ASUS ZenFone 6, or the ASUS 6z as it is called in India, is one of the surprise releases of this year, coming out as a very good smartphone alternative for those who dislike the more often recommended mainstream options. Asus had blessed the phone with several key updates, like bringing over August 2019 security patches, more Smart Key options, Google Duo dialer integration, and even camera rotation stability improvements. Asus has been quite supportive of the device, releasing the bootloader unlock tool and kernel sources for the same right around its release. Thanks to this timely release, developers have been able to work on custom kernels and other modifications such as GCam and LineageOS 16. Now, XDA Senior Member kdrag0n's Proton Kernel for the ASUS ZenFone 6 is bringing over the ability to set the display to refresh at 75Hz, higher than the stock 60Hz refresh rate.
ASUS ZenFone 6 gets 75Hz display refresh rate support via custom kernel
A low-end Android purchase landed me at the XDA forums in 2011, trying to get the most out of it with the help of custom ROMs. After helping the community as a Recognized Contributor and a Forum Moderator, I started my tech journalism journey in 2015 as a writer for the Portal. And I haven't looked back from that point, moving forward and eventually taking over as XDA's Editor in Chief in 2021.
