Asus yesterday had an appointment of great importance in the Las Vegas Consumer Electronic Show, where one of the most important technological events of the year is being held. The company of Chinese origin did not disappoint almost anyone with the presentation of its new mobile devices, among which the new one undoubtedly stands out. Zenfone 3 Zoom, which will surely not leave you indifferent.
And it is that we are facing a more than interesting mobile device, which has specifications at the height of the best terminals on the market, and also with a camera, which looks very much like the iPhone 7 Plus, being also the great features of this new smartphone that will soon be available on the market.
Characteristics and specifications
Before launching to analyze the camera of this new Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, we are going to do a complete review of its main features and specifications;
- 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1.920 × 1.080 pixels and that is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass
- Snapdragon 625 processor
- 2,3 or 4 GB RAM
- Internal storage: 16, 32 or 64 GB of RAM
- Dual rear camera of 12 megapixels each
- Front camera: 214 megapixel IMX13 sensor
- Battery: 5.000 mAh
It is very striking that despite the efforts that Asus has made to develop a mobile device at the height of the best on the market, and with an outstanding camera that we will review just below, they have "mounted" a processor well below than expected. The first rumors suggested that we would see a Snapdragon from the 800 series, but finally they have opted for the Snapdragon 625, which is undoubtedly not a bad processor, but a bit old for a terminal with the aspirations that this Asus has.
The outstanding rear camera that wants to look like the iPhone 7 Plus
Without a doubt, the main protagonist of this new Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom is the main protagonist of this mobile device. And it is that its double camera that wants to resemble that of the iPhone 7 Plus is called to very big things.
The first of the cameras, called Superpixel, has a Sony IMX 362 sensor that has 12 megapixels and an f / 1.7 aperture., which according to Asus, and in the absence of testing, will allow users to take photos in low darkness with high quality.
During the presentation at CES Asus wanted to point out that the camera of its new smartphone is capable of collecting light 2.5 times more than the camera of the Apple terminal. The second camera has a 12 megapixel sensor, with a 2.3x zoom and a focal length of 59 millimeters.
This second camera allows us to take high quality portraits. Both cameras have a 4-axis optical stabilization (OIS) and 3-axis electronic stabilization (EIS) system.
Last We cannot fail to point out the new camera of the Zenfone 3 Zoom, something that Asus has placed special emphasis on, such as the focus that has a system called TriTech +. Below we show you the different approaches that the camera of this new mobile device has.
- Second generation laser focus.
- Object detection autofocus.
- Dual phase detection focus.
Price and Availability
At the moment and as unfortunately it is usually more common Asus has not revealed the price of this new mobile device, although it is to be imagined that it will not have an economic price, despite the fact that in some of its characteristics it remains a bit lame.
Regarding the arrival date of this new Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom to the market, we have been able to know that it will be available worldwide in the month of February, so for now we have to wait patiently to be able to test especially its new and spectacular camera.
