Smartphone focuses on photography: Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom

Asus is coming out with a new phablet, a cross between a phone and a tablet, that is fully focused on photographic capabilities. The Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom has a dual camera on the back, just like the iPhone 7 Plus from Apple. Both cameras have 12 megapixels, with one having a focal length of 25mm and the other 56mm with 2.3x optical zoom. The front camera of the smartphone, also known as the selfie camera, has 13 megapixels and can flash using the illuminating screen.

Bokeh and 5,000mAh battery

Thanks to the dual camera, the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom mimics the bokeh effect with a portrait mode. A similar feature can be found in the iPhone 7 Plus. The light-sensitive cameras of the new phone are also said to perform exceptionally well in low-light situations and the device also supports raw files. In addition to the photographic specifications, the phone has a 5.5-inch screen, an aluminum casing, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The phone also gets a powerful battery of no less than 5,000mAh.

With that, the smartphone will last a long time.
