As a smartphone, Asus‘s ZenFone Zoom doesn’t stray too far from the formula ASUS introduced with the ZenFone 2. Its Intel Atom Z3580 chipset and 4GB of memory will keep it running smoothly, and the battery will get you through a long school or workday. But the camera is the real star of the show, and its 13-megapixel rear camera, plus built-in 3x optical zoom lens, is the real reason why it costs $100 more than the ZenFone 2.
ZenFone Zoom is the world’s thinnest 3x optical-zoom smartphone with an innovative10-element HOYA lens arrangement for crisp detail — and up to 12x total magnification.
Empowering 3x optical-zoom
Creating the world’s thinnest 3x optical-zoom smartphone demands serious engineering — but ASUS is always in search of incredible. Now you no longer need to carry a traditional digital camera to see the world up close: with ZenFone Zoom’s 3x optical-zoom and rock-steady optical image stabilization (OIS),dual-LED Real Tone flash for perfect lighting and revolutionary 0.03 seconds laser auto-focus, you’ll shoot in total clarity every time.
Experience the 3x optical-zoom
ZenFone Zoom comes equipped with an incredible 3xoptical-zoom by 28-84mm focal length. Greatly shorten the visible distance from where you stand to the object you wish to see. Capture clear images like never before and transcend the way you see the world.
Groundbreaking technology to achieve 3x optical-zoom
ZenFone Zoom’s innovative 10-element lens was created by HOYA, the Japanese optics experts. Together, we created an aspheric, molded-glass lens system, finished using a technique we call the “D-cut”— a world first. This is paired with dual high-precision stepper motors and arranged in an innovative periscopic arrangement to maximize incoming light and capture best possible photo quality — and allow 3x optical-zoom for close-up clarity.
