On December 15, ASUS officially launched the world's thinnest 3x optical zoom phone - ASUS ZenFone Zoom at Crowne Plaza Beijing Youtang. This is a smart phone that focuses on taking pictures. Compared with the plastic back cover previously exposed, this time it also has a leather back cover. Now Xiaobian will take you to experience this new product.
The front of ZenFone Zoom is equipped with a 5.5 inch 1080P IPS display screen, with a ppi of 403 and a maximum brightness of 400 nits. The single hand holding feeling of ZenFone Zoom is acceptable. Compared with the previous ZenFone series phones, there is no significant change. The front basically follows the family design style of ASUS, with several sensors on the top and ASUS LOGO on the bottom. The once classic concentric circle design did not appear.
The front camera is equipped with a 5 megapixel BSI backlight sensor, 5 lenses, F/2.0 aperture, and 88 degree wide-angle self timer.
Compared with other ASUS ZenFone series mobile phones, this ZenFone Zoom does not place all the keys on the back of the phone, but moves to the side of the phone body. So this time the side of the phone body is no longer as thin as before, but actually it is very comfortable to grip with a metal frame.
The back design is very eye-catching. Due to the addition of an optical zoom lens, this time we saw an "Oreo" design similar to the Nokia 1020. But compared with Nokia, this huge lens is only slightly protruding, and the thickest part is only 11.95mm. Considering its three times lossless zoom, it is acceptable.
ZenFone Zoom uses a 1300W pixel camera with an aperture of f/2.7-4.8. Its sensory elements are also different from those of other traditional mobile phone manufacturers. It has a built-in Panasonic SmartFSI sensor, 10 HOYA lenses, two sets of triangular prisms, and two right angle twists and turns on the light path. This allows it to support 3x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, creating its unique lens design. What surprised Xiaobian most was that this "Oreo" lens would not protrude even when it was in 3x optical zoom.
As a mobile phone focusing on taking photos, ZenFone Zoom is also designed with dual color temperature flash lamp, which supports laser assisted focusing and manual mode, greatly improving the playability of taking photos. In order to match the identity of the "photographic artifact", the two-part entity shutter button is not absent. When in standby, press and hold for 1 second to enter the photographing mode. What's more, there is a small special video button, which makes it easy to take photos on the way. In the photographing mode, the volume key will automatically become the zoom key, which is very convenient.
The 3.5mm headphone hole is on the upper side, and the micro USB is on the lower side. It's really a pity that the Type-C interface is now popular. There is also a favorite lanyard of Japanese mobile phone manufacturers. There is nothing else to say.
In terms of configuration, ASUS ZenFone Zoom has two versions this time. The high configuration version uses Intel Atom Z3590 2.5GHz quad core processor+128GB storage space, and the price is 3199 yuan; The low configuration version uses Intel Atom Z3580 2.3GHz quad core processor+64GB storage space, and the price is 2799 yuan. Both are equipped with 4GB storage, ZenUI with Android 5.0 system, standard 3000mAh lithium battery, and dual 4G network of Mobile Unicom. Asus ZenFone Zoom is also equipped with fast charging technology, up to 9v 2A.
In other aspects, the leather back shell was added this time, and then other color matching was added.
As it is the main photography, the chaotic lights in the venue are the best place to show its strength. Let's take a look at its actual sample performance.
