Asus ZenFone Zoom S 5.5" - Octa-Core - Dual Sim - Black

ZenFone 3 Zoom confines compromise to history. We’ve combined the industry’s best smartphone-camera technologies and innovative dual-lens optics with its ƒ/1.7 SONY IMX362 sensor and 2.3x optical zoom camera, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S625 processor and ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine and its 5000mAh battery. The upshot is unparalleled smartphone photography ready to capture every scenario, the moment you need. Catch the Moment — ZenFone 3 Zoom.

It takes two to see up close

ZenFone 3 Zoom sets the new bar for mobile photography, combining two entirely new camera systems. A 12 megapixel ƒ/1.7 aperture, wide-angle lens with ASUS SuperPixel™ Technology is primed to capture everyday scenes, especially in dark environment; and a 12 megapixel 2.3x optical zoom for high-quality close-ups from farther away. Switching between ZenFone 3 Zoom’s dual cameras takes just an instant, and the combination enables an all-new depth-of-field effect — for portraits that look like they were shot by a pro.

Break through the distance barrier

ZenFone 3 Zoom’s true 2.3x optical zoom lets you shoot super-sharp, close-up photos and videos from right where you stand, and with just a single tap. When you want to feel even closer, use ZenFone 3 Zoom’s improved digital-zoom technology to ramp up the magnification to a 12x view — and with clarity that’s hard to believe.

Seize the emotion

ZenFone 3 Zoom’s 2.3x optical-zoom camera and 59mm focal length introduces a whole new way to shoot. 2.3x optical-zoom produce a high quality close-up, and the 59mm focal length lens brought subject closer to you by creating more depth to its background object — so you’ll capture depth-of-field effects to rival those achieved by professional DSLR cameras. Combing with the new Portrait mode, the subject stands out more by softly blurring the background. Professionals call this the ‘bokeh’ effect — but you’ll know it as your new way to capture stunning portrait photography.

Camera that sees in the dark

To capture real-world authenticity, ZenFone 3 Zoom packs a 12 megapixel camera with a wide ƒ/1.7 aperture and the latest Sony® IMX362 sensor. This combination, along with a large 1.4µm pixel size and a six-element lens, allows 1.25x more light to pass through to the sensor. This is further enhanced by OIS, allows photos to be shot with shutter speeds so as to capture sharper and brighter low light shots and ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine, effectively increasing captured light by up to 8x* — making ZenFone 3 Zoom perfect for night time shots and low-light environments. You’ll also benefit from both optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS and EIS) technologies for blur-free shots and video every time, a RGB color-correction sensor for true-color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.

Night shot, low light & back light photos

With light sensitivity that is up to 8x of a typical smartphone camera, the ZenFone 3 Zoom is the ideal smartphone for ultra-clear and vivid night or low light shots and photography of backlit subjects. It has multiple features that give it such good light sensitivity. First it has an ƒ/1.7 aperture is one of the largest found on any smartphone camera. The aperture of any camera is the hole behind the lens through that allows light to reach the sensor. The larger it is, the more light is able to reach the sensor. Next, the ZenFone 3 Zoom has OIS that helps stabilize handheld shots to prevent blurring in very low light photos that need slightly longer shutter speeds to expose. Third, it has a large 1/2.55” sensor that has 1.4µm pixels which are among the largest in the industry. Larger sensors and pixels also contribute to increasing the camera’s light sensitivity. Finally, the ZenFone 3 Zoom uses a powerful image processor known as the SuperPixel™ Engine that enables it to intelligently control the senor’s light sensitivity and multi-framing process to reduce noise artifacts that typically occur in low light shots.

Focus as fast as 0.03 seconds

We’ve upgraded ZenFone 3 Zoom with ASUS TriTech+™ Technology, adding an all-new Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) system that uses similar technology found in DSLR cameras. Every single pixel on the Dual-Pixel sensor is used for phase detection, enabling auto-focus that’s so incredibly fast, actually the world’s fastest and seamless that even the most sudden movements are caught in the act — even when the light starts to fade. TriTech+™ also features Subject-Tracking Auto-Focus for both photos and videos to keep the object in clear focus, and Laser Auto-Focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds.
