It takes 201 precision procedures to create the perfection lasts a lifetime.

Asus ZenFone Zoom – First Impressions In a technology sector innovating with fingerprint scanners, ever-increasing screen sizes and self-healing cases, the Asus ZenFone Zoom is something of a breath of fresh air: it's a smartphone that incorporates an opt...
Bottom line All told, we're really looking forward to giving the ZenFone Zoom a proper test run closer to its release date later this year. If that camera holds up it could be a real contender especially as Asus is planning to charge only $399 for it...

ASUS has earlier launched the Intel-powered ASUS Zenfone Zoom that features a 3x optical zoom camera on its rear. Although the exterior of this smartphone doesn't looks as much flashy and attractive as other smartphones, but the camera packed within this...
Bottom line In short, the ASUS Zenfone Zoom is almost an ideal camera smartphone launched in the world. However, it still suffers from some minority of flaws such as lengthy auto focus time and noise present in the image taken in low light. If you are into photograph...
