ASUS has unveiled its new smartphone from the Zenfone series, the Zenfone 3 Zoom. The smartphone packs a 5.5-inch display with a dual-camera system. It is also the world’s slimmest smartphone with a 5000mAh battery and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.
ZenFone 3 Zoom’s dual-camera system comprises two 12MP cameras, one with a f/1.7-aperture, 25mm wide-angle lens and a second with a 59mm lens. Users can instantly switch from the 25mm primary camera to the 59mm camera, giving them a 2.3X optical zoom that is perfect for portraits and capturing distant subjects. A TriTech+ autofocus system automatically chooses among three autofocus technologies — Dual Pixel PDAF, subject tracking autofocus, and second-generation laser focus — depending on the situation to achieve accurate focus in just 0.03 seconds, even when photographing moving subjects.

The smartphone is also the first ASUS smartphone with SuperPixel camera technology that enables it to focus incredibly quickly and capture clear photos at night or in low-light environments. ASUS-exclusive hardware and software enhancements boost sensor light-sensitivity by up to four times by intelligently adjusting ISO levels while shooting and applying noise reduction in post-shot processing. SuperPixel technology enables the camera on ZenFone 3 Zoom to have 2.5-times (2.5X) greater light sensitivity than Apple iPhone 7 Plus and 10-times (10X) that of an average smartphone.
ZenFone 3 Zoom has a 5000mAh battery that is sculpted to fit in the phone’s 7.9mm full-metal body. The phone weighs 170 grams and provides up to 42 days of standby time. The smartphone can capture up to 6.4 hours of continuous 4K UHD video on a single charge. ZenFone 3 Zoom can also double as a high-speed power bank for charging other devices.
