Fremont, CA (November 7, 2016) -- ASUS today announced immediate availability of the ZenWatch 3 and ZenPad 3S 10. The ZenWatch 3, priced at $229, features programmable crown buttons for increased convenience while the ZenPad 3S 10 features a beautiful high-resolution display, fingerprint reader, and a premium build.
ZenWatch 3
The stylish ZenWatch 3 is the first ASUS smartwatch to feature a round display. The 1.39-inch AMOLED screen, with a 400x400 resolution and 287-ppi pixel density, provides deep blacks and pin-sharp details that make for incredible-looking watch faces. The ZenWatch 3’s body is meticulously fashioned from jewelry-grade 316L stainless steel, which is 82 percent stronger than conventional steel to ensure that the ZenWatch 3 can easily withstand the rigors of daily active wear. The watch’s round case has a low-profile design that is just 9.95 mm thick and accented by a narrow, rose-gold bezel for a sophisticated look inspired by the corona of an annular solar eclipse. Three crown buttons adorn the case and provide quick access to frequently used functions, including opening the ZenFit activity tracking app and changing the display modes.
The ZenWatch 3 has advanced power management features, so it spends more time on wearers' wrists and less time on the charger. It is powered by the fast, yet energy-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor and comes with HyperCharge technology that delivers incredibly quick recharge times with just 15 minutes providing a 60% charge
ZenPad 3S 10
The elegantly simple ZenPad 3S 10 is made of a slim, compact 5.8-mm-thin aluminum chassis and features a stunning 9.7-inch QXGA (2048 by 1536) high-resolution display. The ZenPad 3S 10 offers a comprehensive set of entertainment-focused features, including ASUS Tru2Life video-enhancement technology and an incredibly loud, clear, and immersive audio system with virtual 7.1-channel surround-sound support. The ZenPad 3S 10 is also the first ASUS tablet to include a fingerprint sensor that allows the tablet to be rapidly locked or unlocked, and can also work with compatible apps for authentication. The ZenPad 3S 10 also supports the optional ASUS Z Stylus, which gives a natural pen-on-paper feel and works with many productivity apps.
Powering the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 is a set of powerful components that includes a hexa-core MediaTek 8176 processor supported by a generous 4GB of RAM. For storage, the tablet has up to 64GB of onboard eMMC memory and a micro SD card reader that can support micro SD cards up to 128GB in capacity.
