Lenovo Vibe X3 was announced in November and ASUS ZenFone Zoom ZX550 in January, but it is said that both of them will go on sale this month. So, let’s take a look at the following comparison to see which one is better!

ASUS ZenFone Zoom vs Lenovo Vibe X3: 21MP is more powerful than 13MP, but…

First, let’s talk about their similarities and differences in specifications. We can easily see that they both have the same screen size and resolution: 5.5 inches and Full HD. For the rest, there are some main important differences we need to know. About processor, ASUS seems to prefer Intel chip to Snapdragon for their products. Specifically, the Zoom uses an Intel Atom Z3580 chipset to run the machine. This is faster and stronger a bit if compared to the X3’s Snapdragon 808 one.

As for the RAM and ROM, the ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs include 16/32/64/128GB ROM (expandable to 64GB) and 2/4GB RAM. Definitely, the ASUS smartphone has more options for consumers than its rival since the Lenovo Vibe X3 specs just contain 32/64GB ROM (expandable up to 128GB) and 3GB RAM. However, if it comes to battery, the Zoom’s 3,000mAh cell has to give in to the X3’s 3,600mAh one equipped with Fast Charging tech to help the handset reach 60% in 30 min.

And the best part is their cameras. The X3 boasts a more excellent cam combo than the Zoom thanks to its 21MP rear and 8MP front shooter. Meanwhile, the Zoom packs a quite common 13MP/5MP set. But, if we don’t mention the resolution, the Zoom’s main cam is really special due to its Japan’s HOYA optics, 3x optical zoom, 12x digital zoom, OIS, and laser focus.

ASUS ZenFone Zoom vs Lenovo Vibe X3: Price and availability

ASUS ZenFone Zoom price is around $433 for a 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version while Lenovo Vibe X3 price is around $385 for 32GB and $460 for 64GB ver. Overall, the Zoom seems a bit more affordable than the X3 if you like strong RAM and processor. Though, the decision belongs to you. Which one is the winner here?
