ZenFone Zoom Brings New Era of Mobile Photography to B&H

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 20, 2016) - Mobile photographers, rejoice! ASUS has released its latest offering of ZenFone-brand smartphones, the photo-friendly and aptly-named ZenFone Zoom. Billed as the world's thinnest smartphone with 3x optical zoom capability, the Zoom features an innovative periscopic mechanism that makes its optical zoom capability and ultra-slim, award-winning design possible.

Behind the Zoom's DSLR-worthy camera is a highly sophisticated 10-element HOYA lens arrangement that includes aspherical and prismatic glass lenses -- all used to maximize incoming light and make the 3x optical zoom possible. A bevy of other shoot-and-capture features are also built-in, including super-fast laser focus, dual-LED flash, 12x total magnification, and much more.

Now, add in SonicMaster 2.0 technology for enhanced sound quality, a microSD slot that supports cards up to 128GB, GSM 4G LTE connectivity, Bluetooth- and NFC-compatibility, and the ZenFone Zoom looks like a smartphone that can do (and shoot) it all.
