This World Photography Day ASUS surprises us with the announcement of the ZenFone Zoom S, the world's slimmest and lightest 5.5-inch smartphone with a 2.3X Optical and 12 X Digital Zoom, Dual Camera setup that delivers photographic perfection. It comes with a 5000mAh battery onboard allowing you to immerse yourself in a photo-venture that can last almost 2 days continuously. Launching exclusively on Flipkart – India's biggest online store.
⦁ Dual-camera system — The ZenFone Zoom S features an all-new ASUS Super Pixel Camera for exquisite low-light photography, plus a dedicated 12MP, 59mm camera for instant 2.3X optical zoom and 12X total zoom. The biggest advantage of having two cameras with lenses of different focal lengths is the ability to let users switch lenses and compose in different perspectives.
⦁ Large 1.4-micron pixel size — ZenFone Zoom S uses the Sony IMX362 sensor with pixels measuring 1.4 microns (µm) wide pixels and a 1/2.55-inch sensor size, which is one of the largest of any smartphone camera sensors.
⦁ Large f/1.7 lens aperture — the large aperture allows for more light to enter the sensor compared to other smartphone cameras.
High-resolution SuperPixel selfies — It has a 13MP SONY IMX214 sensor with a f/2.0 aperture lens that shoots high-resolution selfies and also benefits from ASUS SuperPixel technology to achieve twice the light sensitivity. It also features a new 'screen flash' mode that uses the display as a flash in low-light environments.
⦁ Subject-tracking autofocus — The system cleverly tracks moving subjects while the user is shooting, so they will never be out of focus, enabled by default for both still images and videos.
RAW file support — ZenFone Zoom S offers photographers the freedom to shoot and store compositions in RAW format. RAW support will be available with the Android 7.0 'Nougat' FOTA upgrade.
Full Manual mode — allowing control over extensive camera settings such as white balance, exposure value (EV), focus, and ISO settings, and an impressive shutter-speed selection starting from 1/16000 sec to a maximum of 32 seconds.
Continuous autofocus 4K (3840×2160) UHD video recording —at 30 frames per second.
With an incredible battery capacity 5000mAh, ZenFone Zoom S has one of the highest capacities of any smartphone — and the world's highest capacity in its class. Paired with the powerful yet battery-efficient 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, enables ZenFone Zoom S to achieve 6.4 hours of continuous 4K UHD video recording time, or 42 days of standby time, without worrying about running out of charge. Amazingly it lets it double up as a high-speed power bank for charging other devices via an automatic reverse-charging capability.
ZenFone Zoom S's display is a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED panel with high 500cd/m2 brightness for outdoor-readable images with extreme clarity and contrast, and a color gamut that is more than 100% of the NTSC color space. It also features a blue-light filter that prevents eye strain over long periods of viewing.
ZenFone Zoom S also features Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 display cover panel that is 70%-more resistant to drop damage compared to the previous Gorilla Glass generation. This panel has been crafted and shaped to fit within the phone's beautifully small, sandblasted aluminum-alloy body.
Featuring a 5-Magnet speaker that is boosted by an NXP SmartAMP to give you Clear, Crisp and Full Sound even at loud volume levels , you can also customize audio with the built-in AudioWizard app to suit any audio scenario. For headphone audio, the ZenFone Zoom S is HiRes certified, meaning it can playback lossless audio formats with ease at 192kHz/24-bit, which is 4X better audio quality than CD Audio. To add to the surreal audio immersion, the device also features DTS Headphone:X, which recreates your content in a virtual 7.1ch Surround Sound effect over headphones.
