DISCLAIMER
The opinion of this product is not to discourage the buyers for buying such product.
The opinion is just to state the pros and cons, with some introduction and specifications.
1.Introduction
Asus had a full bag of devices, but many of them have been previously announced. Still, I couldn’t say no to a second hands-on tour. The Asus ZenFone Zoom and ZenFone 2 Deluxe impressed with some unique features, while the Max, Laser and Selfie simply aim to excel at what they do.
This year tech shows are dominated by wearables
and Asus had the ZenWatch 2 to show off. Coming in two sizes and plenty of
customization options it holds the promise of a practical, affordable
smartwatch.
2.Asus Zenfone Zoom hands-on
The Zoom is on its way to European markets but I got a sneak peek. The phone is built around a 13MP camera with a 10-element Hoya lens with 3x optical zoom. The lens is a periscope type, which means the mechanism is entirely internal and nothing sticks out when you zoom in.
This mechanism allowed Asus to make the ZenFone Zoom as thin as it is – at 12mm it's a good deal thinner than the Galaxy K zoom (one of few comparable phones), though it still feels pretty chunky. The metal unibody weighs 185g, surprisingly not the heaviest phone we've handled despite the extra weight from the zoom mechanism.
The back of the Zoom does have that characteristic "camera phone" hump that reminds us of the Lumia 1020, though here the camera module isn’t nearly as prominent.
The 3x optical zoom can be digitally extended to 12x, another mode fuses four photos into a single 52MP Super Resolution shot. Asus says the camera is great at shooting up close too – getting to 5cm (a couple of inches) of its subject for macro shots.
The camera has a Panasonic SmartFSI image sensor and optical image stabilization and laser autofocus for accurate focus locks in just 0.2 seconds. A dual-LED, dual-tone flash promises accurate rendering of colors and especially skin tones.
If you look on the side of the phone you'll see an unusual dual shutter key arrangement. Unusual for phones that is, on camera's it's much more common – having a separate still and video shutter key.
Keep in mind that the zoom mechanism limits how wide the aperture can be. Smartphone modules have gotten to f/1.8, but the ZenFone Zoom ranges from f/2.7 to f/4.8 (depending on the zoom).
The phone part of the Asus ZenFone Zoom is more
casual. It's built on a ZenFone 2 base meaning a 5.5" 100p screen,
quad-core Intel processor with 4GB of RAM and Android with ZEN UI. We found the
ZenUI camera app more interesting, mostly for the Manual mode that gives you
control over shutter speed, exposure value, white balance, ISO and other
settings.
3.Here is my opinion (Read the Disclaimer above before reading the following)
It’s like a ghost .. nobody knows about.
Um, the phone is 5.5 mm think until it gets to the camera bump which is 12 mm. How else do you expect it to house this beast of a camera in anything thinner? Reading opinion on here gets you harder and harder.
Great thickness! Not obnoxious or overly thin. Really good battery too!
I have zenfone 2 its not bad I think it is good for its price you know that you can buy flagship phone of 2014 in this price that they work wore than this I tested Galaxy s5 and s4 and lg g3 and galaxy note 4 and zenfone 2 in the 3D part of test the bests were zenfone 2 and note 4 now compare these two in the price
You can choose, I can’t make you to do something but I am advising you
What makes 9mm the only "acceptable" thickness? It is this kind of pointless and purposeless "spec chasing" that induces manufacturers to focus on the wrong features at the expense of features that really matter.
What reason does it "need" it to be 9mm thin? ... other than to simply "keep up".. Harder to bold? Less room for larger battery? Bragging rights?
Remember the "megapixel craze"? This is that all over again.
Just better to know.
C.P.U is 64 bit but the android is 32 bit. So can’t run even antutu 64 ver..
After using nexus 2 for 2 years , I think it’s not the phone that I expected.
Heavy and not running 64 bit apps is the biggest problem.
When it's release? I want to buy!!!!!
