Fremont, California (january 20, 2016) -- ASUS is excited to announce the Zenfone Zoom is available exclusively for preorder today at B&H Photo, the world’s leading retailer of imaging products. The ASUS ZenFone Zoom is the world’s thinnest 3x optical-zoom smartphone with an innovative10-element HOYA lens arrangement for sharp detailed images — it will redefine your expectations of smartphone photography.
ASUS PixelMaster Technology fused with Hoya optics let you zoom in on subjects both near and far
The ZenFone Zoom’s slender metal unibody houses a PixelMaster rear camera that pairs a high-resolution Panasonic SmartFSI® sensor with innovative optics. The 13MP sensor offers incredible detail that is automatically enhanced by DSLR-like optical image stabilization (OIS). A 3x optical-zoom by 28-84mm focal length greatly shortens the visible distance from where you stand to the object you wish to see. Capture clear images like never before and change the way you see the world.
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 as little as two inches away.
With a wide variety of camera modes and a smart auto configuration, the ZenFone Zoom easily adapts to any style and setting. There’s also a manual mode with exposure, ISO, white balance, and other options for experienced photographers. The camera is further enhanced by a dual-LED Real Tone flash whose natural illumination produces more lifelike colors and skin tones.
Performance meets Craftsmanship for a unique smartphone experience
A potent Intel® Quad-Core processor and fast connectivity let you quickly preview, edit, and share your photos or videos. The ZenFone Zoom is powered by an Intel® Atom™ Z3580 SoC with quad 64-bit cores built on energy-efficient 22-nm technology. Delivering excellent performance, Intel’s latest generation processor also ensures a very fluid and responsive interface experience. Thanks to 4GB of RAM, the ZenFone Zoom remains responsive even during heavy multitasking. You can effortlessly switch between photography, social media, web surfing, games, and other apps.
Inspired by the latest DSLR cameras, the ZenFone Zoom’s textured finish offers a sure grip and premium feel with hand selected premium leather. There’s also an anchor loop with multiple strap options, so you can secure the smartphone to your wrist for confident shooting in any position.
Images come alive on the 5.5” IPS Full HD 1080p touchscreen, which displays vivid colors with wide viewing angles. Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 protects the screen’s surface from scratches and impacts, while ASUS TrueVivid technology fuses the cover-glass and touch-panel layers to put the user interface right under your fingertips.
Powered by a high-capacity 3000mAh battery, the ZenFone Zoom can work and play from dawn to dusk—and beyond. It charges at warp speed, too, with BoostMaster technology that takes the battery from 0-60% capacity in under 40 minutes.
