ASUS has announced its latest Zenfone C - ZC451CG with India as one of the first wave countries for the launch. The device is built on the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with ASUS Exclusive Zen UI, which makes it a super-efficient device. The Zenfone C has a 4.5-inch display and a 5MP camera with PixelMaster technology and a high-capacity 2,100mAh removable battery for nearly 30 hours of 3G talk time and over 10 days of standby. It is endowed with a dual-SIM and dual standby with high performance Intel Atom CPU.
ZenFone C’s 1.2GHz Intel CloverTrail processor is a multi-core powerhouse with quad-thread Hyper-Threading Technology. Supported by 1GB of fast RAM, ZenFone C’s 854 x 480-pixels (FWVGA) display responds to touch in a mere 70ms, even when multitasking — so the user is never kept waiting. High-quality LED-backlight technology ensures that everything on the display is bright and clear, with vivid color reproduction.The screen’s 4.5-inch diagonal keeps ZenFone C practically compact, along with an ergonomic design that tapers to just 6.2mm at the thinnest edge.
The main PixelMaster camera has a 5MP, f/2.0 lens to capture stunning photos. PixelMaster’s industry-leading Low Light mode employs pixel-merging technology to capture up to 400%-brighter photos at night, or in low-light scenes, without the need for a flash.
The ZenFone C’s PixelMaster main camera also has Backlight (HDR) mode to let users capture vivid, evenly exposed photos in challenging backlit scenes such as sunset portraits. By using pixel-enhancing technology to increase contrast by up to 400%, Backlight (HDR) mode ensures that foreground subjects stand out clearly and are free of shadows.
ZenFone C’s ZenUI Camera app also includes loads of powerful features to help users capture good quality selfies, including Time Rewind that snaps even before the shutter button is pressed and Depth of Field to create stunning miniature-world effects. The 2,100mAh battery of ZenFone C offers up to 29.8 hours of 3G-talk time and up to 260 hours of standby or over 10 days of service between charges. The lithium-ion battery is also easily removed, enabling ZenFone C users to pack as much backup power as they need.
The ASUS AudioWizard app with ICE power technology helps the users to shape the sound for every environment and situation. The result is rich, powerful and dynamic audio output that delivers louder, distortion-free sound for both work and play, from speakerphone calls and voiced map directions to music and movies. ASUS ZenFone C is available in three different colours - red, white and black. The Zenfone C ZC451CG handset is priced at Rs 5,999 and will be available on Flipkart on February 11, 2015 and ASUS Exclusive Stores February 18, 2015 onwards.
