At CES 2015 (a global tradeshow for consumer electronics and consumer technology) happening at the beginning of this year, ASUS introduced their impressive phone called ASUS ZenFone Zoom and at IFA 2015 held in September, the company did it once again. However, after that, we heard nothing more about the Zoom until now. This time, we’ve got more information about ASUS ZenFone Zoom launch on the market.

What does ASUS ZenFone Zoom have to offer us?

According to many sources, the Zoom has appeared on TENAA (China’s state telecommunications certification authority), which hints that it will be released soon. So, if ASUS has ASUS ZenFone Selfie as a handset focusing on selfies, ZenFone Zoom will take care of the rear shooter and the photos it produces. In other words, it is a rear camera-centric smartphone. Specifically, the main cam is capable of 13 megapixels and equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS), laser autofocus, 10-element lens, super slim 3x optical zoom, and dual-color Real Tone Xenon flash. With such a special shooter, you will have beautiful, quality pics when zooming in. Note that optical zoom does not reduce image quality like digital zoom (which is basically just a crop).

Besides, other ASUS ZenFone Zoom specs include a 5MP secondary camera with an 88-degree F2.0 lens, a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS LCD screen, a quad-core Atom 64-bit chip, a 3,000mAh battery, and up to 4GB RAM (which makes us sometimes think that it is an ASUS ZenFone 2 4GB RAM coming with a more powerful snapper).

When is ASUS ZenFone Zoom launch date and how much?

Being certified by TENAA means the release date is close. We predict it will happen in December or at least at the beginning of 2016. And the ASUS ZenFone Zoom price will not be so expensive since ASUS products are usually affordable. So, let’s wait and see!
