Asus Zenfone Zoom

The Asus Zenfone Zoom is an imaging focused variant of the Zenfone 2, with a 13-megapixel camera that supports 3X optical zoom and a laser autofocus system.

The Zenfone Zoom has a 5.5-inch Full HD display that takes up 72 percent of the phone's front side, creating a somewhat bezel-free experience. Its Full HD resolution means content viewed on the screen will be very sharp, with the IPS technology allowing for vivid image output. If users prefer more natural colours from their displays, they can simply customize the screen mode that Asus builds into the software.

The phone is powered by an Intel Z3580 processor, which includes a quad-core CPU coupled with an amazing 4GB of RAM. The high amount of random access memory can allow the usage of almost 20 apps at the same time without any of the apps getting killed, and the Intel processor contributes to the performance as well. There is 32GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and 5GB free cloud storage from Asus.

The Zenfone Zoom might have a standard camera resolution of 13-megapixel, but it is notable for its optical zoom lens, which can provide up to 3X digital zoom. There is also a laser autofocus lens at the back of the device that ensures the camera can focus quickly, along with an LED flash for nighttime picture taking. The selfie camera on the front has a resolution of 5 megapixel, which while unimpressive compared to the rear camera should still serve users' purpose very well.

A 3,000 mAh battery takes care of the power needs, with high usage times and fast charging support that lets you charge the battery in mere minutes to add a few hours of further usage. Android 5.0 Lollipop is the operating system offered out of the box, with Asus' ZenUI on top for a sleek and functional user experience. 4G connectivity is also supported, so that users can connect to the internet in a quick manner to download all their favourite apps and media.
