The company also claim the Zoom is the thinnest 3x optical zoom smartphone all over the world. On the back, there is a 13MP main camera equipped with optical image stabilisation (OIS), laser autofocus, a dual LED flash and a SmartFSI Panasonic sensor. Moreover, it’s got ASUS PixelMaster 2.0 to take photos pretty well in low light conditions. And you can find a dedicated shutter button and a dedicated video one on the device. Cool!

Other ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs include a 64-bit quad-core Intel Atom chip, 4GB of RAM, 64/128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB), and ASUS ZenUI based on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS out of the box (hopefully it will be upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow soon). On the front surface, we will see a 5.5-inch Full HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection, and a decent 5MP snapper for selfies.

Under the hood, there is a 3,000mAh battery to fuel the whole machine. Furthermore, it can be charged quickly (60% in 39 minutes) thanks to ASUS BoostMaster technology. Well, in general, we have a feeling this is like an ASUS ZenFone 2 4GB RAM sporting a powerful primary shooter, and the cost may also be just affordable like many ASUS smartphones.

ASUS ZenFone Zoom Malaysia price and availability

Though the manufacturer has announced the coming of ASUS ZenFone Zoom, yet we have to wait a bit more to know the exact ASUS ZenFone Zoom price in Malaysia. At the moment, in the U.S., it costs around $399, equivalent to about RM1,760, so we predict its price tag in Malaysia would range from RM1,790 to RM1,900, depending on the variant. Does it sound good?
